; ? CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS MINUTES - MARCH 3, 1982 Chairman Remmel called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m. Present: C. Remmel, L. Horvath, W. Wasniak, and E. Graves R. Bugala arrived at 7:40 p.m. C. Remmel clarified the Minutes of February 3, 1982 to specify that the variances for Owens Air Conditioning and H V A C Supply were approved for two 8'x 2'signs (one for each business). L. Horvath moved to approve the Minutes of February 3, 1982 as corrected, seconded by E. Graves, and unanimously approved. 1. National City Bank; 23124 Lorain Rd. Request for variance (1133.13). Request variance for second pole sign on one lot. Violation of Ord. 62-33, Section 1221.06B4.. Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered. It was noted that one gr6und sign at the Lorain Rd. exit blocks vision and possibly should be lowered. Representatives from National City Bank stated that ? they would lower the sign. The representatives explained that they wanted the pole sign with the logo of Natinnal City Bank on it, since the logo on the front of the building was not too visable from Lorain Rd. Mr. Graves and Mr. Bugala both were in agreement that other signs were visible from Lorain Road coming from both directions and they did not believe that the pole sign was needed. The building sits out from the others in the plaza and there are signs on four sides of the building. They.,do not feel that there is a hardship involved. The bank's representatives stated that their corporate logo is only over the front entrance and does not stand out and they wanted to display their logo so that it would tie into their advertising. Mr. Remmel stated that there will be another shopping plaza on the opposite corner which may obscurethe signs, and that there is another bank sign on the propert;y and he believes that • National City shoud be treated as a separate entity. Mr. Bugala stated that when the bank•was-being built, the developers were well aware that they could not install another pole sign on the property. L. Horvath moved to grant the variance. Roll call on motion. Harvath and Remmel, aye. Wasniak, Bugala, and Graves, Nay. Motion failed to pass. Variance denied. While inspecting the Rini°s property, Mr. Remmel noticed a City of North Olmsted sign that is on the tree lawn which does iiot seem to conform to the other City signs, and is not placed at the boundry of the City. The Service Departnent will be asked to check into it.
