1. A variance for an additional wall sign, code allows 1, applicant shows 2, section <br />1163.28(a), which failed 0-5. <br />2. A 1 foot variance for the height of the wall sign code permits 4ft, applicant shows Sft, <br />section 1163.28(c), which passed 5-0. <br />3. A 23inch variance for sign projecting from mounting surface, code allows 14 inches, <br />applicant show 37 inches,1163.28(b), which failed 0-5. <br />Speedwav; 24046 :Lorain Road <br />Proposal consists of a ground sign and the following variance is requested: <br />A 3 foot setback variance for ground sign located within the right of way, code requires a minunum <br />distance of 5 ft, applicant show 2 ft, section 1163.27(b). <br />Jim Bond of National Illumination & Sign was administered the oath. Mr. Bond said while <br />installing the ground sign water retention pipes were found within the lawn area. Due to weight <br />limitations their engineering department changed the brick sign base to a lighter material and <br />created a new footer system that meets code and can support the ground sign. However, <br />placement can no longer meet the required five foot setback due to the retention pipes. Mr. <br />McReynolds said the applicant's intent was to replace an existing nonconforming pole sign with <br />a new conforming monument sign. They have worked with the city engineer who determined <br />the storm water lines could not sustain the monument's weight. The applicant has worked with <br />the city to create a sign which will not jeopardize the retention system and meets structural codes <br />therefore he has no objections to the request. Mr. Raig said the existing nonconforming sign <br />impeded the required setback more than the proposed monument sign which won't obstruct the <br />line of sight therefore he had no objections. Mr. Bond said the sign would be in 2 feet from the <br />sidewalk. Members had no objections as the applicant removed a nonconforming pole sign and <br />redesigned the monument sign to ensure the retention system was not compromised. <br />Ms. Bellido moved, seconded by Ms. Diver, to grant Speedway of 24046 Lorain Road a 3 <br />foot setback variance for ground sign located within the right of way, code requires a <br />minimum distance of 5 ft, applicant show 2 ft, section 1163.27(b) which passed 5-0. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />With no further business the meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m. <br />la, <br />J fer Ru o ph, Chair <br />y I I Ja <br />? <br />Approved: <br />?r ~ <br />onna Rote, Clerk of Commissions
