Mr. Smith stated that he works for Direct Image Signs, a subcontractor of Apex Signs. Mr. O'Malley advised the board that the applicants or owner should not practice law even though Mr. Smith believes himself to be the representative for Sears or Apex. No paperwork was submitted to give him permission to represent the applicant or owner. However, Mr. O'Malley believed the variance request could stand alone unrepresented and Mr. Smith could provide additional info if needed since he will probably be the contractor pulling the building permit. Mr. Allain confirmed with Mr. O'Malley that they could listen to facts from Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith stated that some Sears locations have been closed. Signage from one of the old stores is intended to replace the existing signage at the North Olmsted location. Mr. Aspery was in favor of the proposal. Mr. O'Malley pointed out that the sign code was intended to be a standard for signage visible from Lorain road and larger signs are needed for more visibility as the setback from the road increases. Mr. Papotto commented that the directions on the elevations were mislabeled but the signs look proportional. Mr. Papotto moved, seconded by Mr.1Vlackey, to approve the following variances for 18- 11216; Sears; 5000 Great 1Vorthern Mall: 1. A 2 ft. variance for wall sign height on east elevation; code permit wall sign to be no greater than 4 ft. in height; east wall sign proposed at 6 ft. in height; Section 1163.28(C). 2.
