like to demolish the existing garage and build a new garage in the same footprint as the one being replaced. Mr. Russell said the variance should be amended to be a 5 ft. 4 inch variance as the plans submitted show the new setback to be 9 ft. 8 inches. Mr. Allain asked if the garage would be the same size and Mr. Vitaz said the new garage would be in the same location but it will be slightly wider. Mr. Raig said the home is located on the lot in a manner that makes building a garage difficult to place. Ms. Rudolph moved, seconded by Mr. Allan, to grant 15-3901-Robert & Sharon Vitaz of 23849 Lucille Drive a 5ft. 4 inch. variance for a detached garage located less than 15 ft. from dwelling; code requires 15 ft., applicant shows 9 ft. 8 inches, Section 1135.02(c)(2), which passed 5-0. COMMERCIAL APPEALS AND REQUEST APP15-3528: Starbucks: 27264 Lorain Road: Proposal consists of wall signs. The following variances are requested: 1. A variance for 3 additional wall signs, (1-Starbucks, 2- Developer Medallions), code permits 2, applicant shows 10, section 1163.28 a. (7 wall signs were previously granted 10/7/13). 2. A 14.5 square foot variance for the maximum sign face per building, code permits 515 sq. ft. applicant shows 529 sq. ft., section 1163.28 (b). (Analysis is for Giant Eagle wall signs only). The oath was administered to contractor Yacine Dajemil. Mr. Dajemil said there will be a Starbucks located inside Giant Eagle and they would like a wall sign on the exterior wall. The medallions which were previously installed have been in place and represent the owner's logo. Ms. Rudolph asked if the medallions were necessary and Mr. Russell said the medallions have been in place since the building was constructed but never addressed. Mr. Allain asked if Starbucks would have a logo and Mr. Dajemil said they would not have a logo. Mr. Allain asked if each of the tenants within Giant Eagle were in individual units would they be entitled to each have a wall sign and Mr. Russell said yes. Mr. Allain said a Starbucks sign is warranted to let customers know they're located inside the Giant Eagle building. Ms. Rudolph said she is concerned the number of wall signs on the building will continue to grow. Mr. Raig said he had no objections because if each was a separate unit the signs would be allowed without a variance. Mr. Raig moved, seconded by Ms. Rudolph, to grant APP15-3528: Starbucks of 27264 Lorain Road the following variances: 1. A variance for 3 additional wall signs, (1-Starbucks, 2- Developer Medallions), code permits 2, applicant shows 10, section 1163.28 a. (7 wall signs were previously granted 10/7/13). 2. A 14.5 square foot variance for the maximum sign face per building, code permits 515 sq. ft. applicant shows 529 sq. ft., section 1163.28 (b). (Analysis is for Giant Eagle wall signs only).
