Mr. Aspery said the applicant is proposing to install a second drive-through lane at the existing McDonald's site located at 27322 Lorain Road and is requesting setback and signage variances. The property was previously granted variances permitting similar setbacks in 2013 and 2015 but these variances expired based on inaction by the applicant. The site was also permitted a variance for 7 ground signs in 2010, which were installed, and the applicant is now seeking to have a total of 13 ground signs installed on the site. Mr. Ptacek stated that the double drive-through would decrease traffic flow backing up to Lorain Road. The transaction to purchase property took longer than expected but has been finalized. He
