Heard by the HISTORIC AREAS BOARD OF REVIEW at a meeting held on Tuesday, March 11, 2008  at which time the Board made the following determination:

 

Bob Press appeared and testified.

 

The applicant presented the following:

 

 

1. A picture of the proposed sign with specifications.

 

 

 

Bob Press stated that he is applying for a sign that was designed to go with the outside of the building; that it would be  six foot long and one foot wide and would fit over the double front doors; that there are existing posts under the main entrance and it would be hung on the existing hooks; that the doors are black and the sign would be white back ground with black letters and hand painted black outline on the edge of the sign; that a sideway sign like the wine store would not work for this building because of the front space and the doors being setback; that there are two 7’ wide windows on the front of the store on either side of the double doors; and that the sign centered above the doors will look nice.

 

 

PUBLIC COMMENT:

No public comment.
