The applicant requested permission from the owner to remove a parking space and approval was denied. Corrected plans were submitted to the board. The board indicated that the owner and tenant were asked to attend the meeting to address the signage. Mr. 0'Malley voiced that the board had questions for the landlord that only he can address. Building Commissioner Conway requested a mock sign be placed on the site so that the safety forces could view the sign for safety issues. The board questioned why the tenant was not allowed to place their sign on the tenant sign. The applicant indicated that there was no space on the main sign as there were more tenants than spaces on the sign. The board feels that the entire strip center should be addressed at once. Mr. Maloney would like to table the issue and requested the tenant and landlord be present to work something out. J. 1Vlaloney motion to table Bank One of 4763 Great Northern Blvd until meeting next. N. Sergi seconded the motion which was unanimously approved. IV. COMMUNICATION: Mr. Maloney indicated that the board received a letter from the City Engineer regarding drainage problems requesting the Board of Zoning Appeals take swells and easements into consideration when granting variances. Mr. Kremzar responded to Mr. Durbin's letter indicating that without being provided proper information regarding swells and easements there is no way for the board to know if in fact either item is an issue. Mr. Conway voiced that his department does not allow applicants to place sheds on easements. However, if the board would like he would send each application to the engineering department for review and comments. 9
