Steve Smith reminded the commission that the case was
before them at their last meeting and they had concerns
on how and where the awning would be placed on the
building. The applicant, Jack Smith, was now present to
answer their questions . Mr. Smith indicated that it
would be a black awning with 8" white letters . The
existing sign would be removed. Commissioner O'Donnell
noted that the commission had asked to see details on the
proposed awning. Mr. Smith showed that the awning would
be 15 ' long, 4 ' wide and the projection would be 4 ' .
Commission did not feel that the proposed awning was
viable. Commissioner Urrutia suggested that the awning
be brought straight down from the edge of the building
and returned rather than at a 45 degree angle as
proposed.
Commission approved the awning subject to it being
redesigned to align with the existing fascia and
returning the ends . Commission felt that the proposed
angled awning was incompatible with the architecture.

Steve Smith presented pictures and a proposal for the new
sign. He showed how the new sign had been placed on the
end of the rafters temporarily, and indicated that he did
not know of any other place on the building where the
sign could be placed. Commission noted their concerns
with the amount of signs on the building. Commissioner
Urrutia felt that the proposed sign looked out of scale
in that it was a very small frontage and there were a lot
of signs filling up the entire front of the building.
Chairman Gregory agreed.

Ms . Garcia indicated that the building only has one
entrance and they will be leasing out one-half of the
store. Eventually the new tenant will also want signage
on the front of the building.
Action:
It was moved by Commissioner Urrutia, seconded by
Commissioner O'Donnell, to reject the sign as shown and
presently installed as they felt it did not fit
proportionally on the building. Commission suggested
that the applicant consider a similar sign that is
reduced in size and placed under the beam. Motion
carried 5-0 .
