Continued by board of zoning appeals from meeting of December 11, 1996. Chairman Gomersall called all interested parties before the board. The oath was administered to Mr. Hanson, president of Custom Tint and Mr. Chechowski, sign contractor, who explained that they plan to remove the telephone number from the ground sign. Chairman Gomersall noted that this sign has been standing for three or four months with the idea that it was going to be changed, but removing the telephone nu.mber is not the major problem. The problem is that the sign looks like it will fall down. The representatives explained that they do have permission to cover up the words on the bottom of the Harmon Glass sign and replace them with a Gustom Tint sign so that they have some visibility on the street. Harmon will be revising all their signs and will be putting their signs in a cabinet as we1L This is not the proposal that was presented for this hearing for the variance. The members would have no problem with that, but Assistant Building Commissioner Rymarczyk believed that another variance would be required for that, but he had not reviewed it for any variances required. It was agreed that this proposal could be tabled, and they could present a new request before the next meeting so the exact variance required could be figured. Chairman Gomersall moved to table the request of Custom Tint (Harmon Glass) 25770 Lorain Road for a 45 square foot variance for excess sign area for a business unit; a variance to install ind.ividual tenant sign on existing non-conforming pylon sign; a variance to have phonq number on sign; and request 2 foot, 3.5 inch variance for height of pylon sign until the March meeting. `liolation-of Ord. 90-125, Sections 1163.12 (a) &(h); 1163.03(c); and 1163.12(b).
