A 1 foot variance for a wall sign higher than code allows, (code permits 4' applicant shows 5'), section.(1163.27 (C)). Which is, inviolation of Ord. 90-125 sections (1163.27 (A)) and (1163.27 (C)). Note: Total number of signs includes 1 permitted canopy sign and one additional sign on the canopy "North elevation clearance 11". Mr. Boodjeh with Drug Mart came forward to be sworn in and address the request. Mr. Boodjeh passed out new sign packets and advised that they require variances for two signs, one is on the canopy facing Lorain Road for traffic and pedestrian safety and the north primary sign requires a 1 foot variance to have a 5 foot sign which will still be less than 100 square feet. They are reducing the amonnt of signage by more than half the square footage of what is on the site now. The canopy sign which faces Lorain Road will not be visible from the road. The existing Drug Mart sign on the north elevation is 491 square feet and the new sign will be 90 square feet. The setback of the building to the road warrants a 5 foot sign to be visible. Mr. Burke questioned if there was sufficient parking spaces. Mr. O'Malley advised the board that the Planning & Design Commission addressed the parking and traffic circulation for the site. Ms. Diver believed that for the safety of the pedestri ans and vehicular traffic the canopy sign was warranted. All board members felt the canopy sign was warranted for safety and had no objections to the front sign due to the building setback. N.
