proposed indirect lighting and said that it would look very tasteful in his opinion. Commissioner Sullenberger agreed with Commissioner Ching and commented that the brightness of the light source did not really matter with this halo type of indirect lighting because it would actually illuminate the background and enhance that off-white color as opposed to coming directly through the lettering. He further said that he would also support the variance request, as the composition of the letters and logo looked harmonious and nice as designed. Chairman Roth also pointed out that when a roadside sign like this one was being shined by landscape lights, motorists might see the light sources as they drive. He suggested that the Commission could approve the illumination as presented and recommend that no landscape lights be used so as to avoid additional amount of light. It was moved by Commissioner Ikeuchi and seconded by Commissioner Werchick that the Commission approve the application as presented, including the internal lighting, with no landscape lighting directed at the sign. There being no discussion on the motion, a roll call vote was taken, and the motion carried with five ayes (Ikeuchi, Werchick, Ching, Sullenberger, and Roth), no noes, and three absent and excused (Crusat, Kern, and Smith). ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS At 5:53 p.m. Chairman Roth announced that this was Commissioner Sullenberger's last meeting.
