WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals, having fully heard the testimony and arguments of the parties and being fully advised in the premises, hereby makes the following findings of tact: The appellant in this matter· stated that he would like to establish an off~prem ise advertising sign at this location. Counsel for the appellant stated that the Zoning Administrator erred in rcfttsing the request by not considering that the building is located on a corner lot and therefore the applicant can choose where the fi·ont of the building is located. The appellant has chosen the Huron side as the front of the building. It is the appellants position that by using the Huron front of the building, the sign in question would not be located on the same side of the street as an existing sign that is located on LaSalle Street. The Board finds that the applicant shall be permitted to establish an oft~ premise advertising sign which shall be 800 square teet. The decision of the Zoning Administrator is reversed. A permit shall be obtained to memorialize this decision.
