Gift Garden25151 Lorain Road: WRD -4 Request for variance (1123.12). The proposal consists of new signage. The following variance is requested: 1. A variance for a second wall sign (code permits 1, applicant shows 2). Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section (1163.27 (a)). Chairman Maloney called all interested parties forward to review their request. Mr. Gupta, the Owner of Gift Garden and Mr. Kalina with Adams Signs came forward to be sworn in and address the request. Mr..Kalina passed out pictures of the site and indicated that the owner would like to have an additional sign explaining what the Gift Garden provides. The second sign is needed to inform passerby's/patrons what type of items are sold within the store. The sign is below what is allowed square footage wise by code. Mr. Kremzar questioned why the wording is needed when it is on the pylon sign and door now. Mr. Kalina suggested the sign on the pylon sign would be removed if the requested sign were allowed. The letters for the proposed sign are only 12 inches high. Mr. Rymarczyk questioned if the wording Since 1970 was needed to explain what is offered. In addition, this second sign could be placing the plaza in the same condition as Babies R Us themselves are in now, too much signage for a.plaza. Mr. Kalina felt that their additional sign would not affect future tenants. Mrs. Sergi questioned if all the spaces were filled or were there vacant spaces still needing to be filled. Mr. Rymarczyk reviewed that there are a couple of spaces still open and will require signs when filled. Mr. Kalina felt that the only way there would be problems in the future is if one of the other spaces wanted more square footage then what they are allowed. No further comments were made. W.
