Mr. Bizjak indicated Giant Eagle wanted it that size to stand out. Mr. Conway questioned vwhy a permanent open 24-hour sign was needed, when a temporary sign or window sign could be used until the residents become familiar with the store hours. Once residents are familiar with the stores hours the sign is not needed. No further comments were made. W.

(1163.12 A) 2) A variance to erect a second wall sign 94 (Code pernuts 1, they request 2), (1163.12 A). 3) A 28.6 square foot variance for business unit sign face area (Code permits 265sq ft. they request 293.6sq ft. which includes the existing Star Bank sign), (1163.11 C). Which is in Violation of Ord. 90-125 section (1163.12 A) and (1163.11 C). The motion was seconded by J. Konold and unanimously approved. Variances Granted. 9. Firstar: 4700 Great Northern Blvd.: Request for variance (1123.12). Proposal consists of a sign package.

(Firstar sign is 1.3square feet smaller than the present Star Bank sign). Note 2: If Giant Eagle is denied their varia.nces, the existing signage with the new bank sign totals 286square feet, and would then need the following variance: 1) A 21square foot variance for business unit signage, (Code allows 265sq ft applicant would require 286sq ft).
