A variance for four (2) additional canopy signs; code permits two (2), applicant shows <br />four (4), section 1163.29(a). <br />2. A variance for additional4" in projection from the face of the canopy; code allows 2" and <br />the applicant shows 6", signs C, D, D(3), section 1163.29(b). <br />Mr. Majeed of MCG Architecture and Mr. Belknap of the sign company were sworn in. Mr. <br />Majeed said a sign was eliminated so there are only five canopy signs. He reviewed each of the <br />GetGo signs and the digital fuel price sign. Board members aslced if a detail plan for the get in <br />get out get going sign was submitted. Mr. Majeed said it was not a sign it is a non illuminated <br />decal sign. Board members said they did not believe the sign was wananted. Mr. Majeed said <br />that they would remove the get in get out get going sign. The reason for the 4 inch variance for <br />width of sign is due to the illumination wiring and lights being housed in the plastic. The signs <br />are florescent lights and the lights must be 4 to 6 inches from the plastic housing. Mrs. Sergi <br />questioned the building commissioner's note that the signs must be 4 inches below the rim of the <br />roof. Mr. Majeed said the signs will be placed 4 inches below the roof and the working plans <br />will have diinensions. <br />Ms. Rudolph aslced Mr. Mitchell if the projection variances should be 5%z inches as the bottom of <br />the price sign is 7%2 inches wide. Mr. Mitchell said there are now 2 additional wall signs on the <br />canopy instead of tluee. The gas price sign can be identified as being 5%z inch wide. He told the <br />applicant that the signs would have to be installed 4 inches below the underside of the canopy. <br />He did not object to the width of the signs as the canopy does not allow the signs to be recessed. <br />Mrs. Diver commended the applicant for removing two wall signs which board members did not <br />feel were necessary. Ms. Rudolph said it was noted in the Planning and Design Commission <br />minutes that the price sign location was due to state code which requires the gas price be visible <br />to the main road. Ms. Rudolph moved, seconded by Mrs. Bellido to grant CMS10-33: GetGo Fuel Station of <br />27264 Loi-ain Iaoad the following variances: <br />1. A varilnce for four (2) additional canopy signs; code permits two (2), applicant <br />shows (4), section 1163.29(a). <br />2. A vai-iance for additional5 1/2" in projection from the face of the canopy; code allows <br />2" and the applicant shows 7%Z ", signs C(2), D, D(3), section 1163.29(b). <br />All canopy signs may not be less than 4 inches from the top or edge of the canopy. The <br />motion was approved 4-0. <br />A brief discussion ensued related to anyone introducing an ordinance which pertains to the Board <br />of Zoning Appeals chapter being submitted to the board for comments prior to being adopted by <br />Council. Board members asked why there wasn't a response from the city planner; the clerlc said <br />she did not voice the concerns as questions to be answered but as comments to be involved in <br />any firture ordinance which pertains to the board. The clerlc reviewed that each board member's <br />contact infoi7nation was forwarded to the Clerlc of Council to be added to her list for minutes and <br />agendas.
