Bosanka Village Commercial Complex
Phil is abstaining from discussion.
Mike Vance started the discussion and said that there is an effort in Eagle to make it the
nicest place it can be. He expressed that exterior lit sign age is ok, but felt strongly that no
interior lit signage will be encouraged downtown.
The applicant must show why illuminated signage is needed. The Guho Building plans has
illuminated signage all over the buildings. People know where the building complex is,
each entrance doesn't need interior lit signs. Design review overlay ordinance speaks to
illuminated signage but it is discouraged. Members views on illuminated sign age were
expressed. Laura received a petition from citizens against interior illumination. Tal is
concerned about the public feeling on the illuminated signage.
Nancy expressed a desire to see no internally lit signs in the downtown area at all.
Barbara thought it should be limited to how many and amount of lighting (how bright).
Mark Guho does not thing that his signage is offensive, he feels that he needs
more light and thinks exterior lighting is a pollution.
Nancy does not find the One existing Godfathers offensive but it would be if there was
interior lit signage for each tenant in this building.
The Committee express that they are not apposed to the signage on the buildings just the
interior lighting.
Mark Manweiler attorney on behalf of Godfathers spoke on behalf of Godfather's Pizza.
They are sensitive to the issues ofthe City. They researched the City of Eagle's ordinance
and felt the signs met our ordinance. Godfathers position is that they are meeting the city
code.
Stewart Dillon of White Orchid feels it is critical to them to have interior lit sign.
Jeff Shears of Eye to Eye feels the city should be consistent. If signs are going to be non
illuminated signs the other business should be required to take them down.
Naomi Campbell said to make a comparison to Subway is not accurate because Subway is
in violation of there sign that was approved.
Moved by Vance and seconded by Markham to approve the master sign plan as presented,
(which includes: colors will be approved by the City of Eagle Design Review Committeee
and use reasonable direction, see page 1, section C. Paragraph 2 of the Bosanka Village
Master Sign Plan) and further approve Eye 2 Eye, White Orchid, and Godfathers Pizza
color size and design and to deny the interior lighting.
Trees in Bosanko Village to be moved: Moved by Vance and seconded by Trautman to
approve the removal of the two black walnuts with a replacement 1 1/5 times the caliper of
the trees the Bosanka Village property or as an alternative at the city parks.
Phil would like to note that maybe the people were against the interior lit sign may not
necessarily be so. Just the quantity and ampage of the interior lit signage.
Design Review amendments Review: continued.
The Committee realized there is a problem with the meeting date as it was brought up and
became an issue about the Bosanka sign issue not being on the next Council agenda. The
agenda is closed by time the Committee meets on Wednesdays (for the next Tuesday
Council meeting). The Committee agreed that the seconded Wednesday, after Council
would resolve the problem.
The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted
Laura Markham
