Mr. Burke reviewed that in 2004 the Board approved a similar variance for 5 foot 4 inches for Westbury's 9 foot 4 inch sign. Mrs. Diver said that the Westbury sign was on the roof. Mr. Petryshin with Consolidated Management noted that the "W" was on three different sides of the building and 190 feet high. Mr. Petryshin stated that the overall package would benefit by having a trademark, as it did for the Westbury. The trademark of the VP 180 feet in the air would give it a signature. The entire exterior is being upgraded including paint, landscaping, and entry. The sign will face I-480 and Country Club Blvd. Mrs. Sergi said that the proposed sign can be seen from the Speedway station on Lorain Road and would definitely be visible according the proposed plans. Mr. Petryshin stated that the signage at code would appear extremely small. The Westbury had dramatic improvements based on the entire package, including the logo. The Commission felt each of the letters was too large. Mr. Conway stated that the Planning and Design Commission should review and then make a recommendation. Mr. Burke suggested the Planning and Design Commission could be of assistance in reviewing the details of the signage. Mr. Faust, resident, remarked that the landscapers from consolidated dumped grass clippings on his property. He has found other trash and requested a fence be installed. He objects to the variances being voted on until these issues are resolved. Chairwoman Diver requested input from Mr. O'Malley regarding the matter. Mr. O'Malley suggested that Mr. Faust speak to the Service, Engineering or Safety Departments for his complaints. There is no requirement to install a fence in this case. Mr. Conway stated that those things are addressed when the building is constructed. Mr. Petryshin stated that he would follow up with the concerns. Mrs. Sergi moved to table Victoria Plaza at 26101 Country Club Blvd and request the input of the Planning and Design Commission, seconded by Mr. Burke, which was unanimously approved. VI. COMMUNICATIONS: The Commission discussed the possibility of adding BZA rules to the back of their agenda, similar to the Planning and Design Commission. Mrs. Diver questioned if they would use the same rules as Planning, or establish their own. Mr. O'Malley described some of the differences between the two proceedings. VII. ADJOURNMEN'I': thho further business pending Chairwoman Diver adjourned the meeting at 8:30 pm. 11L1*6)'1 Diver, Vice Chair Date Shannon English, 2
