<br />Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was
<br />administered to Mr, LaBoda and B. Fletcher., sign contractor, who explained.
<br />that the House of Lamps sign was existing, they had applied for a permit and
<br />were given a verbal oka_y, but they never paid for it since they were advised
<br />that the fees were being lowered. A permit was ob.tained for the Shade ShoD
<br />sign. Some faces on the existing non-conforming pole sign are to be changed.
<br />Building Commissioner Conway explained that prior to his coming to the City,
<br />it was a mistaken impression that if the faces were changed, it was not
<br />considered altering a sign, but it is his interpretation that if a different
<br />panel is being installed,the sign is being altered and a variance must be
<br />obtained for a non-conforming sign. He explained that this pole sign conforms
<br />to size, but not location, the total sign area of all the signs exceeds the
<br />code restrictions, that they would only ,be allowed 135 square foot of signage
<br />after the 100 square feet is subtracted for the pole sign, there-would'onlv
<br />35 square feet of signage Teft.foY.wall signs. 'Mr. Remmel stated that.moving a
<br />nole sign could be difficult and this business does have a great deal of
<br />competition. Mr. Gomersall nointed out that the Board has previously granted
<br />other such variances, R. Bugala moved to grant the 145 square foot variance for
<br />total sign area for House of Lamps and Shade Shop, seconded by B. Grace, and
<br />unanimously approved. C. Remmel moved to grant the 3 fo.ot set-back variance
<br />for the pole sign, seconded by B. Grace. Roll call on motion: Remmel, Grace,
