<br />CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED <br />ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD <br />MINTJTES - JULY 16, 1997 <br />I. ROLL CALL: <br />Chairman Zergott called the meeting to order at 5:40 P.M. <br />Present: B. Zergott and T. Liggett <br />Absent: T. Gallagher, S. Krieger, and M. Yager <br />Also Present: Assistant Building Commissioner Rymarczyk and Clerk of Commissions Oring. <br />II. REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF NIINUTES: <br />B. Zergott moved to approve the minutes of June 18,.1997, seconded by T. Liggett, and unanimously <br />approved. <br />III. SIGNS: <br />1) Moore's the Suit People, 26324 Lorain Road. <br />Logo on wall sign. <br />Mr. Kirkpatrick, sign contractor, presented the proposal for two sets of channel letters in blue and red <br />and a blue and beige logo. There will also be a ground sign, and a small directional sign to d.irect. <br />customers to the parking in the xear which was not originally presented. One wall sign conforms to <br />code, the second one will have to go to board of zoning appeaLs. Originally there was to be a window <br />sign, wluch was not legal; but he does not think Moore's will insist on keeping it. He clarii'ied that this <br />section of the window was to be blocked off to accommodate dressing rooms. There is a brick <br />foundation for the ground sign. It was clarified'that this building is located between Arby's and Burger <br />King. Mr. Liggett has no problem with the logo because it is compatible with the sign. He does not <br />believe that the sign on the side is necessary since it is blocked by Burger King. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated <br />that this would be visible to the eastbound traffic on Lorain Road. Mr. Zergott and Mr. Liggett did not <br />believe that the side sign was necessary because the ground sign would be visble from Lorain Road. <br />Assistant Building Commissioner Rymarczyk advised that. the monument sign would be too high for a <br />ground sign -and would be considered a pylon sign, but it would not be in the right location for a pylon <br />sign. He suggested that they put individual.letters on the masonry wa1L Mr. Liggett would prefer that <br />they remove some of the masonry wall so they can fit the sign on top or suggested that they slipped a <br />two sided sign over the wall, Mr. Kirkpatrick stated t$at there is a brick lid which extends out further <br />and this would put the sign at grou.nd leveL Mr. Liggett stated it would not be hard to take some of the <br />bricks ofFthe foundation so the sign would conform. <br />T. Liggett moved to accept the Moore's, the Suit People, 26324 Lorain Road, sign proposal with the <br />following exceptions: the sign on the side of the building should be removed; the ground mounted sign <br />on front be lowered. to become a ground mounted sign either by removing the masonry or by applying <br />the signs to the side of the masonry wall, since as it is presented it would require a variance. There is no <br />problem with the directional sign.. Also, if they want to keep the window vinyl graphic this board would <br />recommend to board of zoning appeals that a variance not be granted. The motion was vinyl seconded <br />by B. Zergott, and unanimously approved. <br />Mr. Rymarczyk advised that the directional sign had to be 3'feet from grade. He was also advised that <br />Mr. Kirkpatrick could apply to the board of zoning appeals for the second wall sign. . -
