Case Reviews:





118 11th Street Application was presented by Robert Folk for Van Dykes. The

request was for the use of a barber pole as signage. The Board reviewed and

discussed the application. It was noted that the signage being requested was

already being used without the Board?s prior review/approval. The Board?s

discussion focused on the materials being used for the sign, the overall

size/height of the sign and the fact that the sign is internally lit. A motion

was made by Board Member Fred Greene to deny the application as presented based

on its noncompliance with the Design Guidelines for this type of signage.

Board Member Cherie Sanders seconded the motion. The motion passed.





1242 Broadway The application was withdrawn by the applicant prior to the

meeting.





1039 Broadway No one was in attendance to present the application. A motion

was made by Board Member Fred Greene to deny the application based on a lack of

attendance. Board Member Rick Johnson seconded the motion. The motion passed.
