_ j^ e variance. The canopy and pump area will remain as is, no work is scheduled at this time. Ms. Rudolph questioned the variance to not irrigate landscaping as the Planning & Design Commissions recommendation was to irrigate all landscaping which the applicant agreed to do. Mr. Schill said they will install irrigation and withdrew the request to not irrigate. Board inembers had no objections to the request as Planning & Design Commission recommended the variances required be approved and the site is being improved which is not possible without variances.

A 33 square foot variance for a wall sign code permits 21 sq. ft., applicant shows 52 sq. ft., section 1139.07.
