Mr. Neuer stated that the expansion of the store was positive but the size of the lettering on the signage being proposed is massive and double the size of the current letters on the sign. He said that there should be a reasonable compromise and that the sign should be reduced proportionately and the size of the letters should be no larger than 4’ high. Mr. Bullock stated for the record that you can see the current sign from some of the highest points when traveling east on Route 280 during the fall. He said that the applicant is entitled to a reasonable increase in their signage because they increased their space. After some discussion between the Board members the consensus of the Board was that the sign is oversized and that they would like to see the letters reduced in size. Mr. Neuer stated that the Board would like to approve the sign but not at the height that they are proposing the letiers to be. Vice Chairman Buechler asked Ms. Vinitsky if the applicant would be willing to scale down the sign, reducing the letters to 4°4” high, and come back with revised drawings; she replied yes. Vice Chairman Buechler stated that this application will be adjourned to the July 17, 2014 regular meeting and that no further notice will be necessary. He stated that revised drawings must be submitted to the Board Secretary at least ten (10) days before this meeting. Vice Chairman Buechler called for a recess at 9:24 pm. Vice Chairman Buechler resumed the meeting at 9:33 pm. 3.
