The Board set March 12th at 7:30 P.M. for a public hearing on said change and instructed the Clerk to send out the required notices. (2) A request was made by the Acolite Sign Co. for a variance of 2.25 sq. ft. in the allowable area on a new sign for the Miami. Laundry at 9816 N. E. 2nd Ave. The sign is a 3° x 5° interior lighted plastic sign which is standard for all stores. Mr. Arnold moved that it be approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Hoefle and passed unanimously. (3) Mr. 'William Cornelius of the Hurst Awning Co. requested permit to erect an aluminum awning type car port in the rear yard of 9500 N. Bayshore Drive which faces 95th Street. After some discussion Mr. Arnold moved that inasmuch as this meets the requirements as set out in the zoning code, that Mr. Bradford be authorized to issue the permit. Motion was seconded by Mr. Hoefle and passed unanimously. (4) A request was made by the Meyers Sign Co. to erect a free standing sign for Mr. John J. Donofrio at 9415 N. E. 6th Ave. (formerly Dr. Armstrong's home professional office building). After some discussion on the background of the rezoning of this property, Mr. Arnold moved that the request be denied. Motion was seconded by Mr. Harris. Mr. Hoefle 2/27/64 -2- felt this sign should be permitted inasmuch as there were two other similar signs on the insurance buildings to the south. Mr. Arnold stated that as he recalled there was a definite understanding with Dr. Armstrong that when this change of zoning was granted that there would not be any signs in that area except the dignified bronze type of sign designating the doctor's name. The motion passed 2/1 with Mr. Hoefle dissenting. Mr. Harris added that he felt the Village has an obligation to maintain a residential appearance of this location based upon the discussions which took place at the time the property was rezoned from residential to professional office use and furthermore, although the petitioner has not presented a specific location of the sign, nevertheless, it would probably be facing on 6th Avenue and therefore would be facing residences and Mr. Harris stated he did not feel that such signs as the proposed signs should face residences. Mr. Harris asked that the item of the zoning hearing on the railroad property be mentioned in the Village bulletin. Mr. Harris also asked that the Board consider expressing apprecia- tion to Mr. Markel, retired, for his past services. Mr. Arnold moved that the Village Clerk prepare a letter to Mr. Markel to be signed by the Board. Motion was seconded by Mr. Hoefle and passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 8:25 P. M.
