HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said this is a complex sign request including a rooftop sign, a monument sign of painted aluminum and stone and two color signs along the riverwalk and one wall sign on Water Street. The building was completed in 1914. Staff is generally recommending approval with design considerations left up to the Commissioners. The rooftop sign will be illuminated which can be all blue, all orange, all white or a combination of the three colors Staff recommends approval of the signs with conditions listed. Ms. Hatala noted that rooftop signs are not commonly proposed for historic buildings, but it has been done before. Ms. Clendenen-Acosta thought white was more glaring at night while orange and blue seemed softer and more subtle. She would also support having the height of the rooftop sign be reviewed by staff. Staff would also like a motion that all rooftop signs come before the Commission.
Sheldon Opperman - works for the property owner - they had looked at different options for placement of the rooftop sign. It is primarily visible from the north face.
Mike Kinsella - Poblocki Sign Company - the proposed colors are orange, blue, orange for the words with a small white border.
Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown moved for approval of all signs as proposed and for the rooftop sign with colors orange or blue with white border and all proposed rooftop signs need to come before the Commission, with the height be approved by the staff, seconded by Ms Clendenen-Acosta. There were no objections.
