The proposed amendments in part: would eliminate the City's prohibition of internally
illuminated signs; would allow additional and larger monument signs; would allow additional
and larger wall signs; would allow special portable signs; would provide criteria for temporary
signs; would change the Design Review procedures so only master sign plans and internally
illuminated signs would require Design Review Board approval with all other signs requiring
review to be approved by the City staff.

the full Design Review Board was in attendance at that special meeting that had been called

to 45 minutes, if the item has not been completely heard then it shall be continued to the next
regularly scheduled meeting.

sophisticated feel to Eagle. Discussion. Murray would like to continue this to the next meeting
