The Commissioners asked to receive public input.
Mark Guho: questions masonry and wood shakes as far as materials
being used, as well as roofing materials as outlined. Wants
physical example of % of interior lighting and facade, etc.
Sean Nord: The definitions section of the code falls short.
There are no definitions. Facade is an example of lack of
definition, as well as billboard and beacon.
Interior lighting will read: interior is to be 25% of the
original 15% of the facade..
Pauline Hinman: wants qualifications set out as far as a zoning
administrator and the qualifications of design review committee
members. Pointed out there is no enforcement mechanism in the
code. The Logo designed as a part of any sign should be included
in the dimensions of the sign.
Mark Guho: The size of the sign needs to be cut and dry,
given in percentages.
not
Franz Witte: We hoped to have the concept of what the community
wants in general. The community needs to say large signs with
interior lighting or no large signs, less interior lighting.
Signs may not be the most sound basis for a business.
Joan Ly~ns: Is there retroactive procedures? Is there any way
for people to be encouraged to come before the city when it comes
to clean up projects.
Farnworth: is this becoming too restrictive for a small
businesses?
The town meeting adjourned at 8:40 p.m.
