Repxesentiizg the appellant were Nlessrsa Cummings and Thomas. Mr. Gundy remarked that the old Ordinance prohibited roof signs9 as a non-permitted use.

Ref: Request to erect a temporary sign, 16' x 121, a:t the southwest corner of Christman Drive and Lorain Road, which would descriUe the Bretton Ridge Subdivision, which is in violation of Zoning Ordinance 62-33, Section 1225.01, which restricts size of signs. Mr. pate and ivIr. Saul Biskind represented the a ppellant. Mr. Gundy began the discussion by saying the Board would have to interpret the Ordinailce as to whether a residential district which is zoned for com- mexcial business development is to b e considered a residential district or a commercial business district, as the proposed location of the sign would be less than the required distance from an occupied home in a residential district. Mr. Biskiild said the Bretton Ridge development is four subdivisioiis. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Simmons, 29603 Lorain Road, were present and both expressed opposition to the sign because of its large size. Niro Aa1:e said Mr. William Stark, 29645 Lorain Road, who would be closest to the sign, had no objections. NIr. Biskind suggested a reduction of size to lOt x 141, Mr. Klinite observed that, because of the several subdivi- sions involved, each one could have a sign, which in total would have more square footage than the one large sign under coilsideration, and suggested that the lights for the sign be turned of£ eaclz nig:nt at a reasonable hour. This w.as mutually agreeable. Mr. Klinite moved to grant the request for the sign, to be limited to 10' x 141 in size, and that the lights for it be turned off at midnight. i?re Greene seconded.
