Application was made by Sammi Majors for a sign to be painted on the south side of the old Fort Collins Glass & Paint building — 139 Linden Street. Mr. Barnes indicated that the old lettering of that business will be painted out with the new lettering painted on the side of this building. He stated that there is more than adequate sign allowance for the proposed sign. Ms. Majors explained the color scheme for the proposed sign. MOTION MADE by Ms. Zemeckis to approve the sign application as submitted with the colors indicated and to scale. SECONDED by Mr. Carsten. MOTION CARRIED (3-1). Mr. Beardmore announced the resignation of Phil Friedman as an alternate on the Commission. Ms. Hover stated Council will be selecting a new member soon, de— pending on whether they would need to advertise again. It was the consensus of the Commission to recommend that they choose from the current applications. Mr. Deibel indicated that he had talked with Mr. Eckman regarding the design guidelines. He stated it was not necessary for Council to approve these guide— lines, that the Commission had the power to adopt their own guidelines without final action by Council. Mr. Deibel stated that the draft the Commission was given to review has already been revised in its organization. He stated the content of the guidelines had not changed, mainly just the format. Mr. Eckman arrived for the meeting. When asked if these proposed guidelines would be specific enough for the Commission's purposes, he stated that they did not want them to be too specific, which may hamper their decisions. He stated they should be general enough to be applicable in all situations. Mr. Beardmore said they may be looking at it as a code book and that they could not do this. Mr. Deibel emphasized that they must not look at these guidelines as a codification but as conveying general ideas and that it was important that the Commission agree on these ideas and use these guidelines as a basis for their decisions. He stated that the main test is for the Commission to feel comfortable with them and to remember that they are not carved in concrete. The Commission took each guideline and discussed them in detail. Mr. Deibel indicated that the final version target date is around the end of September. The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for September 23 (Wednesday) at 3:30 to adopt the final draft. Copies of this final draft will be delivered to all members prior to the meeting for their review.
