CALL TO ORDER:



Meeting was called to order by Neil Clark, Vice Chair. A quorum was present.

Case Reviews::



1540 Veterans Parkway: Application was presented by Bruce Lee for Fastnal. The

request was to install a pole mounted sign as primary signage for this

property. The sign is needed to identify the business location since

construction of the Veterans Parkway Overpass has blocked access from Veterans

Parkway. The Board reviewed and discussed the application. It was noted that

a fa?ade mounted sign location would need to be addressed. A motion was made by

Pat Love to approve the sign request as presented with the sign pole to be 20?

and the sign itself to be 4? in height for a total overall height of 24?. The

existing fa?ade sign is to be relocated to the 5th Avenue fa?ade of the

structure. Fred Greene seconded the motion. The motion passed.



1338 Veterans Parkway: Application was presented by Ray Nadimi for McDonalds.

The request was to make several changes to the property to include the removal

of the existing glass atrium in the front fa?ade and replacing it with windows

to match the existing windows configuration, the addition of a menu board for

the drive-thru lane, the replacement of the existing primary sign with a

similar style sign incorporating a new logo. The applicant also request to add

directional signage in the parking areas. The Board reviewed and discussed the

application. A motion was made by Fred Greene to approve the application as

presented. Pat Love seconded the motion. The motion passed.



11 9th Street: Application was presented by Sid Harris for Quiznos Subs. The

request was to install primary signage on the fa?ade of the building over the

entrance to the business. The Board reviewed and discussed the application.

The Board discussion focused on the type of materials being used for the sign.

A motion was made by Scott Ressmeyer to approve the request for the sign with

the requirement that the sign be constructed of sand blasted wood or a

composite material that meets the Board Secretary?s approval. Fred Greene

seconded the motion. The motion passed.



1007 Broadway: Application was presented by Kevin Welch for Fountain City

Coffee. The request was for the use of a menu board. There was no longer a

quorum of Board Members since Mr. Welch was representing himself. Mr. Welch

agreed to accept the ruling of those Board Members present. A motion was made

by Fred Greene to approve the use of the menu board with the requirement that

the name of the establishment be professionally added to the top of the menu

board. Mark Renner seconded the motion. The motion passed.

The Board discussed several non-compliance locations. These locations will be

notified of their

non-compliance.



The Board was reminded of the August 21 Called Board Meeting.
