Mr. Koberna questioned who in their right minds are going to sign a lease with you guys if they can't get what they want. Mr. Conway indicated that part of what this board is trying to achieve is to get every property owner, and you guys are in control of the property, to come forward and say here is my site and here is what I want to do and get an approval for it, so they're not coming back with sign after sign. It sounds like no, we are going to divorce this from the other building even though we control it. Mr. Olson replied no. Mr. Gareau questioned the square footaje calculation for the total area of signage for the pylon sign, didn't that include the out building. Mr. Conway replied, as far as he knows, yes. Mr. Gareau suggested what you ought to do is indicate that this is for the total signage and the variance is with the understanding that there is not going to be any other ground sign. So, when somebody comes to you and says we want a ground sign, they'll have to say oops, our variance was predicated upon there being no other ground sign. There is nothing stopping them from asking, but the City will drudge up this thing and say hey, we told you. The request for the variance be approved with the understanding that the proposal incorporates all of the ground signage that is going to be incorporated for the entire development and it's not intended that there will be any other variances granted in the future for additional ground signs.

The proposal consists of 2 story golf office/administration building. The following variance is requested: 1) A 7 ft. height variance for height of structure (code pernuts 30 ft., applicant shows 37 ft.). Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section, (1136,04). Chairman Maloney called all interested parties forward to review the request. The oath was administered to Bob Wharton, the Executive Director for N.O.G.A., and Matt and Barb Simoncic of 5770 Canterbury Rd., neighbors, who came forward to review the request. Mr. Maloney questioned if Mr. Wharton would explain to the board what he was trying to do. Mr. Wharton indicated that they are only asking for one variance. They are building a 2-story golf office on the Canterbury Rd. address. They are trying to match the buildings that exist in Viewpoint. They are asking for a variance on the height. To keep the same pitch and angle on the roof as the other surrounding buildings they need 37 ft. and from what he understands the existing buildings in the development are 35 ft. high. Mr. Maloney indicated that he just wants to maintain the profile of the development. Mr. Maloney questioned if the neighbors had questions.
