Home

Commissioner Peterson moved the Commission to defer approval of the ground sign until review at a later meeting when the applicant could return with a revised proposal containing fewer colors, being either colors carried over from the proposed artwork or from the colors in the “Blue Waiaka Restaurant” sign. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kern. In discussion, the motion was amended by the movant and second to additionally recommend approval of the directory sign with the condition that the same background color be used for all individual tenant names, and that it also be one of the colors used in the main portion of the directory sign. A roll call vote was taken and the motion carried by majority vote of Commissioners Bleck, Burns, Kern, Kitchens, and Peterson. Commissioners Herbert and Power voted against the motion. 3.
