Chairman Maloney called all interested parties forward to review the request. Mr. Bach with Site Enhancement Services came forward to be sworn in and review the request. Mr. Bach noted that he received a new variance notice which shows that only 8 variances are required not 9 as first written, as sign D is an inside sign. The applicant then reviewed that the building is quite large and the allowable square footage would be 100 square feet which would be lost on this size building. The signs have been designed to fit the size of the building. Mr. Rymarczyk asked were the smaller sign would be located and why it was smaller than the others. The applicant reviewed that the size of the Brookpark Road sign was designed to fit within the architectural arch. Brief discussion ensued regarding having all three signs 6' x 37' but the applicant felt the owners thought the signs were properly sized for the building. The board asked why someone from Galyan's was not present and it was disclosed that currently Galyan's was going through a corporate change. J. Maloney moved to grant Galyan's of 200 Great Northern Mall their request for variance (1123.12), which consists of a sign package and that the following variances are granted as corrected: 1. A 562 square foot variance for total signage on a building unit, (code permits 236 sq. ft., applicant shows 798 sq. ft), section (1163.24 (C)). 2. A variance for erecting 3 wall signs on a building unit, (code permits 1, applicant shows 3), section (1163.27 (A)). 3. A 122 square foot variance for a wall sign larger than code permits (sign A), (code permits 100 sq. ft., applicant shows 222 sq. ft.), section (1163.27 (C)). 4. A 188 square foot variance for a wall sign larger than code permits (sign B), (code permits 100 sq. ft., applicant shows 288 sq. ft.), section (1163.27 (C)). 5. A 188 square foot variance for a wall sign larger than code permits (sign C), (code permits 100 sq. ft., applicant shows 288 sq. ft.), section (1163.27 (C)). 6. A 2 foot variance for a wall sign higher than code permits (sign A), (code permits 41, applicant shows 6'), section (1163.27 (C)). 6. A 2 foot variance for a wall sign higher than code permits (sign B), (code permits 4', applicant shows 6'), section (1163.27 (C)). 7. A 2 foot variance for a wall sign higher than code permits (sign C), (code permits 4', applicant shows 6'), section (1163.27 (C)). Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 sections (1163.24 (C)), (1163.27 (A) &(C)). W. Kremzar seconded the motion. Roll call on the motion J. Maloney, W. Kremzar, and N. Sergi "Yes" and T.
