Summarized Minutes - June 8, 1999

Mrs. Fitzgerald felt if they can get the pylon close enough to the road then the passing cars could see the Acura
logo. The DOT has allowed Acura to have an entrance and exit sign, but no logos are permitted on them.
Mr. diPierno made a motion to close the public hearings.
Mr. Warren seconded the motion.
V ote: All present voted aye.
Mr. diPierno made a motion for a Neg. Dec.
Mr. Warren seconded the motion.
V ote: All present voted aye.
Mr. Fanuele made a motion to grant the variance for the pylon setback (5 feet from the property line) with
the stipulation that if a third lane is ever built, then the Board should revisit their decision. He made a
motion to grant the variance for the size of the pylon (to allow a 27 sq. ft. sign).
Mr. diPiemo seconded the motions.
Mr. Fanue1e stated the requested variances will not be detrimental to nearby properties. No undesirable change
would occur to the character of the neighborhood. There is other feasible method available for the applicant to
pursue to achieve the benefit sought other than the requested variances, but it would be very expensive to buy
the adjacent property. The area variance for the sign is not substantial. The setback variance is substantial, but
do to the distance from the road it is minimal. The proposed variances will not cause an adverse physical or
environmental condition. The difficulty was not self-created.
ROLL CALL:
Mr. Warren:
Mr. diPiemo:
Mr. Fanuele:
Mr. Lehigh:
Mr. Prager:
Aye.
Aye.
Aye.
Aye.
Nay. He felt there would be an undesirable change to the
character of the neighborhood because they are seeking an
80% setback variance. He did not feel the signage would
help the applicant.
Vote: All present, except Mr. Prager, voted in favor of granting both the pylon setback variance and the
variance for the size of the pylon. The motion was carried.
2. Appeal Nos. 99-7012. 99-7015. 99-7016 & 99-7017 - At the request of Mobil Oil Corporation. who is
seeking four (4) area variances;
A. Appeal No. 99-7012 - In accordance with Article IV, Section 420.2, a 75-foot front yard setback is
required for the construction of a new building, the appellant is proposing 58 feet, thus requiring a 17-
foot front yard variance; and,
