DISCUSSION ITEMS Bob's Clam Shack - Sign Program and exterior remodel of exterior commercial building at 74-360 Hwy 111; Bob Kearsey was present. The Board reviewed the plans forwarded to them by staff. The consensus of the Board was that the proposed exterior remodeling was not acceptable. They felt that a designer or architect should review the site and determine how best to remodel the facility. The Board suggested that the proposed sign be located near the westerly drive and be mounted on the ends by wood supports. Staff noted that the sign presently does not comply with the code requirements for sign colors and would need approval of an adjustment prior to approval of any sign permits to install the sign. The Board suggested to the applicant that he resubmit plans for the exterior remodeling of the facility. V.
