same location as the previous sign. He explained that the proposed sign will be
concrete with stucco finish, and stainless steel powder coated letters.
Barry Brown, Planning & Development Director, noted that the interior
renovations were already completed. Mack Mosier advised that all the windows
and some of the doors had already been replaced. Discussion followed
regarding modifications to the garage doors. Mr. Mosier advised that the garage
doors on the East side of the building will be enclosed and a small door added for
access.
Walter Bowman voiced his opinion that the renovations were incompatible with
the other surrounding municipal buildings. Discussion followed. Barry Brown
noted that many of the municipal buildings were very old and architecturally
outdated. He advised that the City did not currently have a master architectural
plan for its municipal buildings and this proposed design was setting a design
standard for what the City may be using in the future. He advised that the
building renovations were already approved by the City Council. Mr. Mosier
informed the Board that the City Council reviewed the same color rendering that
was currently being presented to the Board. Discussion followed regarding the
proposed enhancement of the building compared to what is there now.
Motion by Randy Wasserman, seconded by Joyce Kelley, to approve Request
No. 11-01, with the condition that the background and lettering of the ground sign
be consistent with the colors of the building. Walter Bowman proposed an
amendment that the filigree lattice work and the gable ends be eliminated for
reasons of economic upkeep and aesthetics. Mack Mosier advised that the
lattice work and gable ends are made of a low maintenance synthetic material.
Discussion followed. The amendment failed for lack of a second. Vote on the
main motion carried by a 4 to 1 majority vote with members voting as follows:
Walter Bowman, against; Judi Cameron, for; Joyce Kelley, for; Randy
Wasserman, for; and Rosalie Wolf, for.
