Gomersall. Also Present: Law Director Gareau, Chief Building Inspector Sanker and Clerk of Commissions Oring. Chairman Gomersall pointed out that due to an over sight at the last meeting the minutes of December 5, 1990 were not approved. He asked if there were any changes to either set of minutes. B. Grace moved to approve the minutes of December 5, 1990 and February 13, 1991, seconded by B. Gomersall, and unanimously approved. 1) Kronheims, 26068 to 26106 Lorain Road. Request for variance 1123.12). Request 40.35 square foot variance for one side of pole sign (includes area over that allowed for supports of sign). Also request 132.3 square foot variance for total sign area. Violation of Ord. 87-93, Sections 1163.06(d) and 1163.06(f)(4). PLEASE NOTE: POLE SIGN IS TO BE LOCATID EAST OF AMERITRUST DRIVE THROUGH FACILITY ADJACENT TO BROOKPARK ROAD. Chairman Gomersall called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to R. Knific, sign contractor, who explained that this is a major tenant who is located in the southern most area of the shopping center and needs identification at the major entrance on Brookpark Road. They did have a mansard sign facing the front of the center, but it had to be removed for to renovations. The proposed sign is to be located adjacent to the Ameritrust drive-through and has been given approval by the shopping center. Mr. Gomersall is opposed because the sign is too big and other tenants would want signage on Brookpark Road. Mr. Grace did not believe that this sign would be a problem, but believes that the owners of the center should have considered the lack of exposure for these tenants in the rear when the center was constructed. Consequently, these tenants must request variances for signs that the City does not need. Law Director Gareau reminded the Board that when the Great Northern requested variances for their signage plan, the Board had approved with the condition that some tenants, including Kronheims, who had extra signage could not be on the main signs. J. Maloney moved to grant the request for the 40.35 square foot variance for one side of pole sign (includes area over that allowed for .supports of sign). Also the 132.3 square foot variance for total sign area, seconded by B. Grace. Roll call on motion: Maloney, Gallagher, Restifo, and Gomersall, no. Mr. Grace, yes. Motion failed to pass.
