COMMERCIAL APPEALS AND REQUESTS Jared Jewelers; 25851 Brookpark IZoad The proposal consists of a wall sign. The following variances are requested: 1. A 9" variance for a wall sign higher than code allows; code permits 4' 0", applicant shows 4'9", Section 1163.28(c). 2. A variance for a third wall sign on a building; code permits 1, applicant shows 3, Section 1163.28(a). (BZA granted a variance for 1 additional wall sign 5/5/2003). 3. A 164.2 sq. ft. variance for additional sq. ft. of signage on a building; code permits 103 sq. ft., applicant shows 267.2 sq. ft., Section 1163.25(b). (BZA granted a variance for 75.1 sq. ft. of additional signage on a building. 5/5/2003). Mr. Beeman of Wagner Electric Signs was sworn in. A letter from the owner was read authorizing Mr. Beeinan to represent them. Mr. Beeman said his client would like to install a sign on the east elevation of the building. The third sign would not affect government services and will match the existing signs both in size and material. It would give them visibility to traffic entering the Brookpark Road entrance. Mr. Mitchell said the applicant was previously granted variances for signage and he does not believe the request is warranted. Ms. Rudolph asked if their customers complained about finding the store and Mr. Beeman said he had not spoken to the client so is unaware of any complaints. The sign identifies the location and being identified is the key to any business. Ms. Diver suggested relocating existing signs. Ms. Rudolph said the applicant has not provided evidence that a third wall sign is warranted. There is also undeveloped space to the east which if developed would block the east elevation. Ms. Bellido said when driving to the site the two existing signs are very visible. Ms. Sergi said the diamond logos were on all four elevations of the building which provides recognition. Ms. Rudolph moved, seconded by Mr. I,opez, to grant Jared Jewelers of 25851 Broolcpark Road the following variances: 1. A 9" variance for a wall sign higher than code allows; code permits 490", applicant shows 4'9", Section 1163.28(c). 2. A variance for a third wall sign on a building; code permits 1, applicant shows 3, Section 1163.28(a). 4
