Specialty Feed and Pets Signage:
Mr. Dave Vannorsdel presented information to the Commission as well as a
prototype of the sign. Additional discussion followed for Mr. Vannorsdel
information which included: 1)attach with 4 lag screws, top and bottom,
drilling into the wall through mortar rather than the brick, the concrete
facing and cinder block; and 2) try clear compound to protect the entire
wall from vandalism.
Mr. Mutz moved to approve the sign with the red 4" border and the sea horse
doubled with a broader black outline.
Mr. Frick seconded the motion.
Motion for approval passed 4-0.
Chow's Garden Restaurant:
Ms. Tunner expressed concern over the size of the sign and given that size,
the placement of the sign. The sign, as presented, is 8 feet, the wall is 8
feet 9 inches but has a series of brick and metal stripping which presents
a space problem in placing such a large sign on that wall. She recommended
that a smaller sign, such as 6 feet 8 inches, be placed directly under the
bridge so as to better fit the space. Mr. Chow expressed concern that the
sign be placed high enough so it cannot be vandalized.
Mr. Frick moved for approval of the sign itself with conditions that the
sign be only 6 feet 8 inches + wide to equal the width of the bridge and
having depth appropriate for lettering, etc., but shall not cover the brick
arch to the right of the bridge and the sign is to be placed directly under
the bottom of the bridge. The sign company should resubmit the revised
drawing with a sign of the new size and a "drawing" to scale showing the
location of the sign.
Mr. Mutz seconded the motion.
Motion for approval carried 4-0.
The scale drawing of the sign is to be resubmitted to Ms. VanMeter for for-
warding to the Building Division. Ms. VanMeter will call Mr. Frick on or
before July 19, 1988 with details.

increased education and outreach dealing with preservation. All the neces-

stated she would contact the City Attorney's office to check whether Coun-
cil has to approve of the resolution.
