there should be two variances required due to the setback. Mr. Aspery explained that if the fence was only 30 inches high, the fence would be allowed, therefore only one variance is needed. Mr. Glassburn thanked him for the clarification. Ms. Martin reviewed the initial proposal and the desire for more privacy and safety. The applicant would like to install landscaping after the fence is installed to get more privacy. Mr. Allain believed the applicant dealt with his main concern about the openness of the fence and the proposed height is reasonable, Mr. Papotto agreed. Mr. Mackey believed the fence would be beneficial to the property and aesthetically pleasing. Mr. Raig appreciated the compromise. Mr. Allain moved, seconded by Mr. Papotto, to approve the following variance for 18- 11798; Tim and Rochelle Martin; 25197 Deerfield Drive: 1. A 30 in. variance for the height of a fence located on a corner lot in the required setback; code permits 30 in., applicant shows 60 in., Section 1135.02(d)(3). Motion passed 5-0. COMMERCIAL APPEALS AND REQUESTS 18-11302; Walmart; 24801 Brooknark Road Representatives: Brian Lorenz, WD Partners, 7007 Discovery Boulevard, Dublin, OH Proposal consists of signage. Property is zoned Mixed Use A. The following variances are requested: 1. A variance for 2 additional wall signs; building is permitted 3 wall signs for business use, applicant shows 5; Section 1163.28(a). Note: excludes two existing tenant wall signs permitted in Section 1163.28.A. 2. A 5%2 inch variance for wall sign height; code permits 4 feet, applicant shows 4 feet 5'/z inches; Section 1163.28(c). Mr. Aspery stated that the applicant is proposing a building renovation that requires an increase in the quantity of building use wall signs as well as a 5-1/2 inch height variance for one proposed wall sign ("Pickup"). Walmart was previously permitted three wall signs for business use and is proposing five business use wall signs as part of the proposed renovations. The two existing tenant signs, US Bank and Subway, are permitted separately as tenant signage under Chapter 1163.28(a) which addresses allowable unit signage within subdivided buildings. Mr. Lorenz said the pickup service is an online service for customers to order and pick up their items. He believed the requested number of signs is the minimum needed to allow for customers to get their items safely. He offered to reduce the sign height to eliminate the need for the second variance. Mr. Aspery said the project is beneficial for the store and he supports this proposal. Mr. Allain did not see an issue. Mr. Papotto thought the signs would help with wayfinding. Mr. Allain moved, seconded by Mr. Papotto, to approve the following variance as amended for 18-11302; Walmart; 24801 Brookpark Road: 1. A variance for 2 additional wall signs; building is permitted 3 wall signs for business use, applicant shows 5; Section 1163.28(a). Note: excludes two existing tenant wall signs permitted in Section 1163.28.A. Motion passed 5-0.
