questioned if it should be talcen out. Mr. Moreno said he met with the neighbors who suggested installing a 10 foot high fence which he agreed to, which would provide a better buffer for the neighbors. Mr. Conway said commercial sites are not held to 6 foot high fences a 10 foot fence can be installed without a variance. The commission reviewed signage. There are a total of 7 ground signs shown on the plan, 4 directional signs and 3 ground signs of which 2 directional and 2 ground signs were previously approved. They are requesting 1 additional ground sign and 2 directional signs for the two buildings proposed. They are also seelcing a second wall sign for both the Saab and existing Porsche building. The Saab building overhang requires both a special permit to add to a non- conforming building and a setback variance as well. Mr. Brooker reviewed that the 125 foot variance for distance between signs was for pylon sign E and directional sign D. Mrs. Sergi said the neighbors would lilce to malce sure the fence height is consistent to ensure the lights and sounds of the cars are buffered. She commended Mr. Moreno for his efforts in working with the neighbors to ensure they will not be adversely affected. She requested the 10- foot fence be installed along the entire rear property line. Mr. Moreno said that they would continue the fence along the back and reuse the new existing fence at the Lotus site. Mr. Laslco moved, seconded by Mrs. Meredith, to recommend the Board of Zoning Appeals grant COMS08-12: NOAC (Saab,lVIercedes, Porsche) of 28545 Lorain Road a 10 foot rear yard setback variance for parking cars, code requires 15' applicant shows 5', section 1139.07, which was unanimotasly approved 6-0. The commission's recommendation is based upon the 10 foot high fence which will expand the north side of the property and continue along the L-shape property line which is being installed to provide the residents the buffering needed to lessen the impact of the site. Mr. Laslco moved, seconded by Mrs. Meredith, to recommend the Board of Zoning Appeals ga-ant COMS08-12: NOAC Porsche of 28545 Lorain Road a variance for a second wall sign on the Porsche building, code permits 1 applicant shows 2, section 1136.28, whicli was unanimously approved 6-0. The recommendation is based upon total square footage not being exceeded and to delineate the proprietary interest of the business being in North Olmsted but potentially on nation wide bases for advertisement campaigns. Mr. Lasko moved, seconded by 1VIrs. 1Vleredith, to recommend the Board of Zoning Appeals grant COlVIS08-12: NOAC Saab of 28545 Lorain Road a variance for a second wall sign on the Saab building, code permits 1 applicant shows 2, section 1136.28, which was unanimously approved 6-0. The commission's recommendation is based on the same reason given for the Porsche approval. Mr. Laslco moved, seconded by Mr. Malone, to recorrimend the Board of Zoning Appeals grant COMS08-12: NOAC (Saab, Mercedes, Porsche) of 28545 Lorain Road a variance for 3 ldditional ground signs, code permits 2 applicant shows 7, sectaon 1163.27 A, which was unanimously approved 6-0. The commission's recommendation is based on 4 of the grounds signs already existing. The directional signs are necessary to provide controlled traffic flow on and about the campus. The pylon sign is needed to identify the new business and the owner is being forthright by addressing the lot consolidation, expansion and signage at the same time.
