Has a projecting sign previously approved at a different location. Applying for wall sign. Wall sign to be centered on windows to the left of the front door. Young- previous approval was on Center Street. Combination of wall and projecting signs limits the size.Typically the projecting sign gets smaller. Limit is 5 s f without being in combination. Should be smaller. Proposed wall sign is smaller than it could be. Masons should submit a master sign plan.Wall sign should be appropriate, need more info and applicaiton for projecting sign. Kuester-should have a master sign plan. Questioned block letters. Window decals not appropriate Cutone- not much concern. Looks like there are 3 tenants in bldg. Picture is not current Wolf- will need a master sign plan Normand-agrees with Cutone. Appropriate in design, agrees with size, needs master sign plan- incomplete application, picture does not indicate placement. Need more information.

Removed hanging sign and increased size, asking to use primary font for branding purposes. Changed to wood letters. If put lettering at entrance, too small. Inquired about suggestion on lighting. Suggested a quarter board- there is precedent. Proposed font is not objectionable.This building is Main entrance to hotel. Cutone- inquired size of letters and lightning. Window space 2nd floor creates a natural gap. Would like to see lighting proposed. Second floor signage not inappropriate. No issue with font if using "board" sign. Wolf-agrees with Cutone Normand-existing situations- not familiar with applied lettering, asked for photos. Quarter board unusual. "R" is funky. If using wall sign, should match other buildings. Kuester-opposed to individual cut out letters, quarter board more appropriate. Young- quarter board more appropriate and approvable in this location. "R" is unique. Font questioned at the time in context with flag sign. Opinion of proposed font on quarter board or wall sign which would incorporate existing font.Similar to what has been recently approved on other applications. Wolf- no concerns Kuester- R is problematic.
