7 <br /> Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Chair Madden advised the Petitioner that the <br /> Commission' s recommendation would be presented to the City <br /> Council on June 27 , 1989 . <br /> Nationwide Sewing and Vacuum, 2922 Pentagon Drive - Sign <br /> Variance Request <br /> Chair Madden introduced the request from Nationwide Sewing <br /> and Vacuum for a sign variance to re-erect a 45 . 5 square foot <br /> second sign ( "ORECR XL") on the south side of the Nationwide <br /> Sewing and Vacuum store located in the St .
