Property is zoned B-2 Office/Service. The following variances are requested: 1. A 14.62 sq. ft. variance for building sign area; code allows 69 sq. ft., applicant shows 83.62 sq. ft.; Section 1163.25(b). 2. A variance for 1 additional wall sign; code allows 1, applicant shows 2; Section 1163.28(a). Mr. Aspery said the applicant is proposing to install two new wall signs. A 14.62 square foot variance is required for total wall sign area on the building: 69 square feet are allowed whereas 83.62 square feet are shown. The allowable building sign area figure is calculated based on one square foot of building sign area per one linear foot of building frontage, with a total building frontage of 69 feet shown. A variance is also required for a second wall sign on the building, as only one wall sign is allowed by code. No ground signage is proposed under the current sign permit application. Mr. Kolenich said the main sign is on the upper portion of the building. Part of the owner's logo is a crest that she would like to install closer to the door for more visibility. The applicant does not want the available space on the monument sign. Ms. Johansen wants a larger sign due to the large scale of the fagade and she thought a smaller sign would look odd. Mr. Mackey understood the rationale for wanting signage on the building. Mr. Raig thought the signage was nicely done. Mr. Papotto moved, seconded by Mr. Raig, to approve the following variances for 19- 13564; Canine Country Club; 29929 Lorain Road: 1.
