HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| HELD IN COMMITTEE
Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said the applicant's building is the small, pink building and the district is comprised of older houses and one larger house that was converted into a restaurant. Currently there's a small sign and a sidewalk sign. The applicant is proposing a cabinet sign to extend from the 2nd floor to the middle of the 3rd floor and will be 8 foot tall and have lightbulbs as part of it. The sign is similar to one on a much-larger building. Staff recommends denial.
Jeff Hanacke - designer
Nikki Schwark - owner of East Town Salon and Spa
Mr. Hanacke said he feels the sign is appropriate with the building architecture and Ms. Shwark wanted something to competes with existing businesses. Although the sign is 8 feet in high, it is only 1 foot in width with the typography and shape of it mirror the fashion of the 1920s. This is not a cheap, plexiglass back-lit sign, but only the characters and the bulbs are illuminated. The current banner on the building is 6 feet in high, so the proposed sign is a little higher, but also narrower. It is 8" deep.
Mr. Williams is concerned as how much the sign disrupts the facade based upon the proposed location. He's concerned as both of the windows are being spanned. He would prefer shorter and lower. The chair is concerned that the sign isn't compatible with the neighborhood and the light bulbs make it look too much like a make-up mirror. Ms. Clendeneon-Acosta also had concerns relating to the location and look of the sign.
The applicant will work with staff to come up with a sign that will hopefully be approved by the Commission.
