Mr. Grygiel said that the Board granted the applicant a variance for two (2) facade signs and two (2) variances for sign area. He said the overall number of signs permitted in an O-R zone is four (4) signs. Mr. Grygiel said that pylon signs are permitted in that zone and in the ordinance the definition of a free standing sign is interchangeable with a pylon sign. Chairman Neuer stated that the applicant is over on the facade signs. There were no further questions for Mr. Staigar regarding his testimony as a Professional Planner. Chairman Neuer asked if any members of the public had any questions for Mr. Staigar. Tal Ben-Zvi approached the podium and stated that he lives at 5 Allsop Road. He asked Mr. Staigar if the health club project is completed according to the resolution; he replied yes. Mr. Ben-Zvi wanted to know if their Planner is saying in his report that because the applicant had site plan approval in 2013, and was granted variances at that time, that they should be granted these variances. Mr. Regan said that they explained that the applicant is here requesting variances for a monument sign. Mr. Staigar said that he prepared the Planner’s report and that is not the purpose of why the applicant is here. Chairman Neuer declared the meeting in recess at 9:40 pm. Chairman Neuer called the meeting back to order at 9:50 pm. Chairman Neuer opened the meeting up for discussion. Chairman Neuer asked if any members of the public would like to address the Board who are in favor or opposed to this application; there were none. 15
