proposed wall sign will require a 96.08 square foot variance for wall sign area on a building, a variance permitting a third wall sign when two are currently allowed, and a nine-inch height variance for the proposed sign. Signage currently exists on the north and south elevations. Similar variances were denied at the 2011 BZA meeting regarding a third wall sign, excessive sign height and additional total sign area. Lastly, the applicant is proposing to install a multi- tenant ground sign along Brookpark Road and is requesting a variance to place the sign four feet six inches from the right-of-way line. Code requires grounds signs to maintain a minimum five- foot setback from right-of-way lines, therefore requiring a six-inch variance. Mr. Greenberger stated that the proposed monument sign would provide signage for all four businesses. Jared's requested another sign because they feel that the new building would impede the view of their building. Mr. Aspery reminded the Board that the variances remain with the property, and he therefore opposed approving variance #3. He asked the applicant to consider the importance of a third wall sign versus the multi-tenant ground sign to reduce the excessive amount of signage requested for one tenant in variances #6-8. Mr. Papotto asked why the ground sign could not be moved back six inches to remove the need for variance 49. Mr. Greenberger did not think moving the sign would make much of a difference for the tenants. Discussion regarding the need for extra signage. Mr. Greenberger preferred that the Board make the decision regarding the additional signage for Jared's since Starwood was requesting the signage to show support for the business. Mr. Mackey did not believe the third sign for Jared's on the east side would be necessary since the new building would block the visibility of the sign, Mr. Greenberger agreed. Mr. Papotto did not have any issues regarding the four signs requested for Tenant 1 since the east side of Jared's was hard to identify before the new building was proposed. The proposed signs are small and larger signs would have to come back before the BZBA for approval. Mr. Mackey agreed. Mr. Papotto did not think Jared's needed additional signage. He also pointed out that moving the ground sign back six inches would decrease the amount of space between it and the parking spaces which could potentially be dangerous. Discussion regarding how to split up votes, decided to split variances by building. IVIr. Mackey moved, seconded by Mr. Papotto, to grant the following variances for 18- 10421; Starwood Restaurants; 25881-25851 Brookpark Road as separated below: Multi-Tenant Building, 25821-25841 Brookpark Road 1.
