Chairman Ledvina advised that the <br />request as stated on the agenda is.amended to request an oversized <br />pole sign as well as a second pole sfLgn. It was explained that <br />Big "0" is adding the AMC Dealership and that American Motors <br />requires that there be a sign identifying the dealership. Mr. <br />Ledvina stated that exdsting pole sign is oversized and that the <br />new sign is also oversized. The Oldsmobile Company will not allow <br />a combined sign. Mr. Remmel pointed out that since the building <br />is so far back that it would be a public service to advise North <br />Olmsted residents that there is an American Motors Dealership there, <br />and also that other car dealers have several wall signs th.at are <br />visible from the street. It has beem the policy of the Board in <br />the last 6 years not to give variances for oversized signs. The <br />appellant ammended his request for a50' sq. ft. sign. It was <br />pointed out that 2 cars are displayed in the front set back area <br />illegally, a variance had been granted to park only 6 cars in that <br />area. The appellant agreed to remove the 2 additional cars. C. <br />Remnel moved to grant -the vari-ances for a second pole sign, but <br />deny the variance for the oversized.-sign, seconded by L. Horvath. <br />Roll call on motion: Messrs. Remmel and Horvath, aye, and <br />Messrs. Ledvina and Wasniak, nay. Request denied. <br />The Board discussed what reasons wouZd be acceptable 'Lor granting <br />variances for portable temporary sigms. To grant a new business <br />a variance for such a sign for a 30 day period could be a reason- <br />able solution. This is to be discuss?ed further at a later datem <br />It was decided that the suggestion th,at an Ordiance be considered <br />to permit one_.sign. per-year, per busimess for a 30 day period <br />would be totally unenforceable. At this time the Long Range <br />Planning Committee of Coimcil is meet:ing with-the Chairmen of <br />the various Boards in -an -attempt to rewrite and clarify;.:the <br />exdsting Sign Ordinance, <br />Meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m. <br /> <br />D.
