Mr. Weber (son) and Mrs. Weber came forward to be sworn in and review the request. Mr. Weber indicted that there is not enough room for a conforming ground sign. There was a pole sign but they could not use it due to current code requirements. They have lost clients and have had complaints that the sign on the building is not visible from the road. The board felt that there could be safety issues such as visibility and suggested the ground sign be moved back further or placed on the west side of the entrance. Mr. Conway felt that if the sign is on the east side of the entrance as shown on the plan there would not be a safety issue. He suggested that if the board did not want. to grant the variance they may want to approve some type of pole sign. Mr. Weber stated that the owner of Fish Furniture had a problem with placing the sign on the west side of the entrance. Mr. O'Malley felt that the board could continue reviewing alternative areas. Mr. Weber indicated that if the sign is pushed back the parking space would be unusable. Mr. Conway suggested the board table the issue and request the applicant place a mock size sign in the location of the proposed ground sign and have the safety department report whether or not they feel the location poses any safety concerns. W. Kremzar moved to table Weber Auto of 23779 Lorain Road until a mock sign is erected and the safety department reports if there are any safety issues. N. Sergi seconded the motion which was unanimously approved. 5. Westburv Apts, 25151 Brookuark Road Request for variance (1123.12).
