Mr. Goff suggested that a wall mural be considered as signage for the side of the building.
Mr. Johnson stated his concern for the placement of the free standing sign. He stated that this
parking lot creates a tooth in the street line and the proposed sign would look awkward in this
location. He suggested that a plant bed be constructed around the sign to hold the street line and that
the height of the sign be reduced.
Mr. Goff suggested that two poles be uses. Ms. Zack responded this would cost too much money.
He also suggested that the sign be lit from the plant bed and not internally.
(Kathy Winn arrived at the meeting at this time 9:10 a.m.)
Mr. Johnson suggested that the scale of the sign be reduced and some of the wording be removed.
He stated that people do not need to know they have so many choices.
The Board asked Ms. Zack to resubmit plans for a sign incorporating the following elements: two
poles; lower in height; smaller in scale; and less copy. Plans for a planter for the sign to be set into
should also be submitted including materials and plant listings. In addition, a scaled plot plan of the
area should be submitted.
Ms. Zack asked if a planter is provided may she only use one pole. The Board responded that they
would prefer two poles, but would review a one pole sign if the other criteria are met.
Mr. Goff asked which existing sign would be removed when the free standing sign was erected. Ms.
Zack responded that the monument sign would be removed.
The Board stated that they would review the new drawings as soon as Ms. Zack could submit them.
