Mr. McFarland, from Fastsigns came forward to represent Dent Wizard's proposal. Mr. Maloney suggested he had a problem with the location of the ground sign. He indicated the traffic turning the corner off of Lorain Road had formed a rut on the tree lawn which is were the sign would be placed. He further commented that the traffic leaving the development would not safely be able to view the oncoming traffic. He suggested the applicant move the ground sign to the east side of the lot, or look into having two wall signs on the building. One wall sign could face Lorain Road, and one sign could be placed on the west wall so traffic traveling east on Lorain could see the sign. NIr. McFarland indicated he didn't think visibility would be a problem were the sign would be located. Mr. Gomersall suggested the sign would be more effective if it was located on the east side of the lot. Mr. Gareau suggested the applicant could remove some of the existing parking pavement and move the sign towards the south. Mr. Gomersall strongly advised the applicant to locate the sign on the east side of the lot. 1VIr. McFarland suggested the east side driveway was at the edge of the neighboring lot. Mr. Maloney suggested the west triangle would not be a good place for the ground sign. Mr. Gareau asked Mr. Rymarczyk if the applicant would need a variance if the sign were placed on the East Side of the property. Mr. IZymarczyk indicated the applicant would need two or more variances. Mr. Gomersall suggested the proposal be tabled so that Mr. 1VIcFarland could acquire information regarding placing the proposed sign in another location or to request an additional wall signs. J.
