(HOLUB)

Associate Planner Holub presented the staff report highlighting the Committee's previous review of the sign application. He also provided a description of the sign proposal with regards to the colors, materials, size, and location. 

Project applicant, Kelly Keane, answered questions from the Committee about the sign materials. 

The Committee discussed the proposal, specifically the material of the letters, border, and width of the signboard. The Committee stated that although the letters are proposed to be plastic, they would mimic the appearance of wood or metal, and therefore do comply with the Design Guidelines. The colors, although brighter than preferred, comply with the Design Guidelines because they are compatible with the building's color scheme. Overall the Committee was supportive of the signs as proposed.
