This message sign will go right below the existing Wards sign. The sign will be 6 ft. by 11 ft. in size. Mr. Swisher asked what new building, will it require variances, and what will it look like. Mr. Holloway said he did not know the answer to those questions,but based on . what they did know it will be larger and not in the same location as the Pizza Hut. Motion was made by Mike Young, second by Charles McGuire, to allow an internally illuminated moving message board not to exceed 66 square feet, to be place below the existing signs on the existing shopping center sign; also a request for existing sign as to it's location, height, size, setback and is a shopping center sign in a B-2 Zoned District. Motion carried 5-0. Next was Mindy Carter, Lincoln Bank at old St. Rd. 67 and new St. Rd. 67,requesting a variance for a sign. They have twice the linear frontage that is allowed by our ordinance. Their other locations usually have a sign on every side of the building and a pole sign or monument sign out front. With this location there are two large billboards they will be competing with. They are requesting a marquee sign which is a LED screen pole sign and a sign on each side of the building. Mr. Currens asked if the pacific request was for the size of the sign and Ms. Carter said that was right. They were requesting more square footage since they are asking for signage on all sides of the building and a free standing sign. Mr. Young asked if the larger free standing sign would be out by St. Rd. 67 and Ms. Carter said that was right. The signs will be in line with the other signs along St. Rd. 67. The sign will have satellite remote operation so there will not be any cables running to the sign. Motion was made by Mike Young, second by Charles McGuire, to approve the variance to increase the square footage of the sign as per their drawing. Motion carried 5-0. There being no further business to come before the Board at this time a motion to adjourn was made by Mike Young, second by Alan Kramer. Motion carried 5-0.
