Mr. Halleen advised that it was not empty. Mr. Pacsuta indicated that he lives on the second lot and when he looks out every window in his home he sees nothing but cars. He suggested that there were more issues that needed to be addressed before the variance is granted i.e. lighting, Iandscaping, mounds and increased traffic. Mr. Maloney indicated that the board could only vote on the use variance. Planning Commission will have to address drainage, lighting, traffic issues and landscaping. W.

It was thought at that time, Bed, Bath and Beyond was utilizing all of the Home Place space. It has since been revealed that they are now utilizing only 120 ft. of frontage vs. 199 ft. Therefore, the variance from July 5, 2001 should read "Variance of 104 sq. ft. for maximum signage for a building unit vs. the 25-sq. ft. that was approved". Variance 2 stands as written.

Mr. Conway commented that as the painted area was not part of the signage it should have been removed and questioned why it had not been removed. Mr. Frye suggested that he was not aware that they were required to remove the paint from the rear wall. Mr. Conway questioned how that could be as his office had notified the applicant 10
