ti Kerr replied that he could tell them in the future not to put up any permanent window signs, that he could do. For example, the karaice place has a little sign on their front door that just says Shaio L,inn Karate. It is a$500 sign, it doesn't look like it but it is. If he meets code on his wall signs, someone can come in there and put up window signs that are smaller than 10 sq. ft., take up less than 25% of the window, and yet that will be counted against his signage of the building. They intend to make the building look considerably better. When they make those changes all of those signs will have to come down. He believes he can get four of them to go back up on the new plan. The fifth one is going to be a problem. Mr. Maloney corrunented that he thought Mr. Kerr did a good job with checking into the signage and coming back with aprogram for the building. He had no more problems and questioned if any one else had further problems or questions. J. Konold motioned to approve Consolidated Mgmt., Inc. at 26404 Lorain Rd. their variances as requested. T.

Mr. Schill commented that they are back before the board for one more variance. They appeared before the Architectural Review Board and they thought it was in Litehouse's best interest to replicate the front of the building where the overhang shows on the other side of the building to help balance it out. There are 2 ft. x 2 ft. columns that shoot down and they would create another canopy on the addition. Mr. Maloney questioned if the board members had any questions for Mr. Schill. No further questions were asked. T. Koberna motioned to grant Lighthouse Pools at 25601 Lorain Rd. their variances as written. W. Kremzar seconded the motion and was unanimously approved.
