Chairman Hamill announced the case and asked the applicant Mr. D.J.Caldwell any other interested persons to assemble before the Board. Messrs.

Rafferty, Porter, and Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Zipp were administered the oathe Mr. Porter ldentified himself as project co- ordinator for Kuhlman Olds. He explained for the Board the reason for the 31 square feet and second pole sign variance request. Dealership identi- fication signs are part of a national advertising program and are standard. He described it further as an interior illuminated sign with a maximum height of 25 feet or less. 'This sign program will be the same as Parker Reynolds at 26890 Lorain Rd., North 0lmsted,Ohio, and Paradise Pontiac at 25870 Lorain Rd., North 0lmsted,Ohio. No trees will be cut or removed. The unusual set- back of the present building and the park atmosphere of this project requires that more sign area than permitted by the Ordinance be displayed. At this time, Law Director Gareau commented that considering the unique site planning and unusual building setback, this request could be considered a hardship. The Board determined that a(used car) conforming pole sign Permit #15867 had been issued. Tliey asked 'if Viro Porter wou1d willingly reduce the (used car) sign area before 49 square feet. He was unable to agree. "The Board questioned the frontage remaining to be developed between McDonalds and Kuhlman Oldse This is 411 lineal feet. Mre Tubbs moved that Permit #15867 be revoked, (the permit was handed to Mr. Gundy by Mr. Rafferty, and officially revoked at this time) and to grant a variance of 31 square feet or no larger than the product size sign permits approved at Parker Reynolds and Paradise Pontiac. Mr. Duskey seconded the motion which passed unanimously. Mr. Roberts moved to correct and approve the minutes of December 5, 1973.
