A variance for 2 additional wall signs; code permits l, applicant shows 3, Section 1163.28(a). <br />See Note 1. <br />2. A 2.5 sq. ft. variance for excessive w all signage on a building; code permits 96.9 sq. ft., <br />applicant shows 99.5 sq. ft., Section 1163.25(b). See Note 2. <br />Note 1: One wall sign permitted in July 2006. Variance issued for 2 additional ground signs <br />(menu and reader boards) in Apri12006. <br />Note 2: Includes 2 proposed signs and existing wall sign. <br />Brandon Guest with Clayton Signs was sworn in. Mr. Guest said there is currently a wall sign <br />and ground sign in front of the building but since the store opened a cut through between North <br />Olmsted Town Center and Chick-fil-A was opened. Sign C along the south elevation and E <br />along the west are needed to identify Chick-fil-A to traffic along Brookpark Road and within the <br />neighboring shopping center. Mr. Mitchell said variances were granted in July of 2006 for <br />ground signs and wall signs. He does not object to a wall sign on the west elevation sign E <br />however he questions if sign C is warranted. Ms. Rudolph felt sign C was not warranted as the <br />neighboring building would block its view from Brookpark Road traffic. Sign E is <br />understandable as it will be seen by the neighboring site and Brookpark Road. Mr. Clayton said <br />although the line of sight is limited the south elevation sign would be visible from Brookpark and <br />neighboring sites. The signs will match the existing wall sign and be illuminated. Ms. Diver felt <br />an illuminated sign on the west elevation would have an adverse impact on the neighboring <br />residents to the northwest. The cut through can only be used by traffic behind the shopping <br />center and is not a road. Ms. Bellido said traffic traveling east along Broolcpark can see the <br />building however they don't know the name of the site until they have passed the Brookpark and <br />Great Northern intersection. She believes sign E is warranted however sign C is not. Mr. Lopez <br />and Ms. Rudolph agreed that sign E was warranted but didn't feel sign C was. <br />Mr. Lopez moved, seconded by Ms. Bellido, to grant Chick-Fil-A of 4777 Great Northern <br />Blvd a variance for 1 additional wall sign (Sign E) on the east side of building, which <br />passed 3-1, Mrs. Diver voted no. <br />Mr. Lopez moved, seconded by Ms. Bellido, to grant Chick-Fil-A of 4777 Great Northern <br />Blvd a variance for 1 aciditional wall sign (Sign C) on the south side of the building, which <br />failed 4-0. <br />Ms. Bellido noted that denial of wall sign C negated the need for a 2.5 sq. ft. variance for <br />excessive signage on a building. <br />COMMUNICATION <br />Ms. Diver moved, seconded 1VIr. Lopez, to excuse the albsence of Nancy Sergi which passed <br />4-0.
