number of wall signs required. However, the target building is independently owned and the one main entrance sign to the building is less than half of what is allowed by code, but out of respect for the abutting homeowners and community they decided to be conservative. Mr. Schiely believed that in comparison to other recently developed sites the requested signs were very minimal. The multi building tenants will be addressed as one sign package however Target is independently owned and is below what they are allowed by code for one sign, even though they are requesting three. Mrs. Sergi questioned if the applicants felt comfortable enough to move forward with their request or would they like to return with a master sign plan as requested. Mr. McKay felt that his credibility was being challenged as every time the applicants went before a board or commission the buildings changed and even since they received final approval the applicants returned wanting to make additional changes. He believed that he was due an apology at the least. He reminded the board that although Target was building a million dollar store the city gave the applicant permission to construct a superstore of 125 thousand square feet which is more than what city codes allowed for the site. Mr. Schiely apologized to Mr. McKay and stated that he was not trying to challenge his credibility. With regards to wall signs, they would like to request an opportunity to return so the board could be at a more comfort level with their request. N. Sergi moved to tabled Target Corporation of 24646 Brookpark Road. W. Kremzar seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved. "Request Tabled" 9.
