Council Minutes of 5/1/2007 There is a sign package coming which will modify downward the current signage for the Drug Mart site. Most of the signage that is kept will simply be reused. The committee, after discussion, recommended approval subject to the recommendations of the boards and commissions, further subject to the signage issue for BZA approval of a canopy sign for the drive-through, and subject to the requirement that a directional sign be placed onto the east side of the exit lane from the drive-through requiring traffic to remerge into the lane of travel with caution, and perhaps even a stop sign. This will depend upon Building Department approval. Also, as mentioned by Mr. Orlowski, this would be subject to the requirement that the handicapped parking situation be re-evaluated for the area near the entry to the drive-through where parking spaces were removed and appear not to have been replaced. Councilman Gareau made a motion to approve the Drug Mart proposal, 24485 Lorain Road, subject to the recommendations of the boards and commissions and further subject to the requirements as stated above regarding BZA approval of the canopy sign for the drive-through, the directional sign at the east side of the exit lane of the drive- through, and the re-evaluation of the handicapped parking situation where handicapped parking spaces were removed and appear not to have been replaced. The motion was seconded by Councilman Miller and passed unanimously. Councilman Tallon, chairperson of the Finance Committee: 1) The committee met on Tuesday, April 24, 2007.
