.A? , . BOAR.D OF ZONING APPEALS APRIL 7, 1982 PAGE 2 per platted lot). Crestmont agreed to make sign 4f1 (originally approved as a pole sign), a ground sign. So one pole sign would need a variance, however the Board wants the total sign area to be within the Ordinance (468 sq. ft.). In order to utilize the factory's standard sized signs the Board agreed that instead o£ two 50 sq. f_t. pole signs, they would accept one 4` x 8' (32 sq. ft.) pole sign and one 5' x 14' (70 sq. ft.) pole sign. R. Bugala moved to grant a variance for Crestmont Toyota, Porch, Audi for one additional pole sign and that the Toyota pole sign be 5'x14' and that the Porche-Audi pole sign be 4' x 8' and that this will be under the total signage allowed by code for the property invol- ved, seconded by E. Graves, and unanimously approved. Variances granted. 2. Jerry Silverman's Carpet Mill Outlet, 26103 Lorain Rd. Request for variance (1133.13). Request 30 sq. ft. variance for addition to existing pole sign (Color Tile) and 60 sq. ft. variance for total sign area. Violation of Ord. 62-33, Section 1225.02. Also, request 7 sq. ft. variance for wall sign located at rear of building (2nd frontage). Violation of Ord. 62-33, Section 1221.06 E. Previous variance denied January 6, 1982. Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered. Mr. Silverman stated that the ex- isting rear wall.sign would be removed and that all other illegal signs are now gone. He stated that east bound traffic could not see the wall sign because the view is obstructed by the building to the west. Mr. Bugala asked if a variance could be granted on the condition that the variance could be revoked if any signs were ever installed which did not conform to the codes. Law Director Gareau advised that the variance could be so conditioned. Mr. Silverma.n stated that if the variance is granted for the pole sign no other signs would ever be necessary, and he would agree to such a condition. Mr. Bugala stated that he would be more favorable to a variance on the pole sign if the rear sign would be made to conform to the Ordinance. Mr. Silverman stated that this sign had been purchased from another company which had gone out of business. Mr. Remmel suggested that the pole sign could be made smaller by eliminating the word "open" and that the ap.- ' pearance would be improved if the sign was-the same length as the Color Tile sign. C. Remmel moved to approve the variance for the Jerry Silverman Carpet Mill Outlet pole sign with the con- dition that it be exactly the same length as the color tile sign and to granG the 7 sq. ft. variance on the rear sign, and that both variances are conditioned upon his compliance with all Sign Ordinances and in any case of a violation the above variances will-be revoked. It is to be noted that Mr. Silverman agreed to the above condition, seconded by L. Horvath, and unanimously approved.- Variance granted.
