-4- • 1 The notice had been .published in the March 5, 1985 Bulletin and sent to all property 2 owners of record within 200 feet of the subject property. , No one present reported 3 failure to receive the notice or objected to its content. 4 5 As he had reported in his March 15th memorandum to the Commissioners, Mr. Childs 6 explained the proponents were proposing to add another 5 square foot NAPA logo on 7 the south side of the building as well as a 36 square foot "Auto Parts" sign which 8 would replace the existing 9 square foot "Auto Parts" which would be moved to the 9 west side of the store facing the mall . The resultant total square footage on the 10 store would be 109 square feet, as compared to the existing 68 square feet of sign- 11 age on the building. However, the proposed signage would be within the 150 maximum 12 square feet permitted for the existing business frontage on the south so the 13 variance would be needed in relation to the number of signs rather than total 14 area, the Manager said. 15 16 James Morris of Lawrence Sign, Inc. discussed the sign proposal with the Commissioners 17 and said he would have no problem with moving the logos. together so the entire sign 18 could be fitted into the parameters of the sign which had previously been on the 19 south side of the building if. the Commission were to interpret that the store 20 actually had two business frontages following the redesigning of the shopping center 21 roadways. He said the owners of the store believe they need better identification 22 since another business has all the signage on both the Silver Lake Road and north 23 side of the building. 24 25 The Manager confirmed that, with a 72 square foot sign on the south where the 26 ordinance would permit 76 square feet, and only 63 square feet on the west side, • 27 where 88 square feet would be permitted if there are two business frontages on the 28 store, the proposed signage would -be well within the total area permitted by the 29 ordinance, and no variance would -be necessary, thereby permitting the company to 30 apply for a building permit without Council action. 31 32 No one was present to speak against the proposal and there had been no calls 33 received for or against it by- staff, according to Mr. - Childs. The hearing was closed 34 at 8:45 P.M. for the following interpretation by the Commission: 35 36 Motion by Commissioner Jones and seconded by Commissioner Bjorklund to interpret that 37 the Genuine Parts store at 3800 Silver Lake Road, since it is located at a corner, 38 should be entitled to a sign for each business frontage on the south and west side 39 of that building, finding that, the store has no identification on the Silver Lake 40 Road side where another firm has its signage and -that the construction of the med- , 41 .idn on the west side of the building created another business frontage for the 42 store on that side. 43 44 Motion carried unanimously. 45 46 At 8:47 P.M. , Chair Franzese opened the public hearing to consider the request 47 from Brighton Development Corporation for the variances which would allow them to 48 construct 29 townhomes on the property located at 3242 Old Highway 8, commonly 49 referred to as the Walbon property. The Chair read the notice of the hearing which 50 had been published in the March 5, 1985 Bulletin and mailed to all property owners 51 within 350 feet of the subject property. • 52 53 In his March 15th memorandum to the Commissioners., the Manager had cited the justifi- 54 cations he saw for .granting the five variances necessary to develop the property and 55 thereby removed a blighted, non-conforming, incompatible land use in conformance with
