windows. A motion was made by David Serrato to approve the color of the

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

color as the applicant chooses. Board Member David Serrato seconded the
motion. The motion passed.

The request was for signage and awnings for the 2nd floor windows. The Board
