Notion carried unanimously commission Recommends New Restaurant Sig sage Proposal At 8:15 P.M. the Chair read aloud the Notice of the Hearing on the request from Thomas J. Aulwes, owner of TA's Family Restaurant, 2905 Kenzie Terrace, for a variance from the City Sign Ordinance regulations to allow a second wall sign on the east wall of his restaurant. The notice had been published in the August 3rd Bulletin and sent to all property owners of record within 200 feet of the subject property. No one present reported failure to receive the notice or objected to its content. Proposal *to erect two signs of 56 square feet each, for 'a total of 112 square feet of signage where the Ordinance would allow one sign of 100 square feet; *to remove the roof sign which has been grandfathered from past owners. • Staff Report Childs reiterated information in his August 12th memorandum, including his recommendation that the variance be granted because: a. the restaurant has three street frontages and the City has previously granted variances for second signs on corner lots; b. - the exchange of a smaller wall sign for the removal of the controversial roof sign would remove some of the problems . caused by the non-conforming signage the previous restaurant owner put up before the Commission could act on his request; C. the applicant had already removed some of that signage from the building but had waited for City approval to finish what appears would be a more tasteful sign on the building; d. staff knows -of no connection between the applicant and either of the previous owners; e. no calls or letters opposing the variance have been received at this time. 7 , •
