Chairman Maloney called all interested parties forward to review their request. Mr. Beeman, with Wagner Sign Company and Mr. Schill, with B& G Properties each came forward to be sworn in and address the request. Mr. Beeman submitted updated drawings to the board members. Mr. Conway suggested that the sign has been abandoned for more than six months and the board should address the pole sign. The owner of the property is present so it can be addressed. He has requested that a survey be made of the land to get the exact dimensions of the lot as it is not clear. Mr. Schill suggested that the engineer for their company was currently working on that. Mr. O'Malley suggested that this a very large parcel of land and there is no clarification as to the exact location of the lot lines. This has an abandoned pole sign, there has been no use for more than six months, and the owners have been asked by the Building Department to remove the pole sign. Mr. Maloney questioned if the owner has looked at putting in a ground sign. Mr. Schill suggested that the B.P Station is 5-feet higher than this site so they need to keep the pole sign. Mr. Beeman suggested that traveling east a ground sign could not be seen from the road. Mr. Conway suggested that the owner needs to address the site. There are hardships, however the owner needs to address the entire site as a whole. Board members voiced that the abandoned pole sign should be brought into compliance. Mr. Kelly suggested denying the request for the pole sign. Mr. Conway suggested the board table the proposal until the owner address the entire site. W. Kremzar motioned to table B& G Properties of 4570 Great Northern Blvd. J. Konold seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved. Proposal Tablecl. IV. NEW BUSINESS: V.
