Mr. Aspery stated that the signs are actually 32 square feet. Mr. Rerko did not have an issue with the signage. Mr. Rerko asked what the parapet on the east side is made of.

Ms. Wenger pointed out tliat 12 inches is required between the signs and top and sides of the red blades. Ms. Reiner stated that the signs will be moved to accommodate the required 12 inches so an additional variance is not needed.
