Case Reviews:



1026 Broadway Application was presented by Ken Malloy for The Vault. The

request was for the installation of a primary sign and for the use of a neon

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

changes being requested had been installed without the Board?s prior

review/approval. The Board?s discussion focused on the proposed location of

still visible. A motion was made by Mark Renner to approve the use of the neon

sign and to approve the primary sign with the location of the sign to be below

the existing paint sign. The removal of additional paper signs in the

storefront is required as well. John Lester seconded the motion. The motion

passed.

request was for the installation of an awning, the use of neon signs and the

installation of a primary sign on the front fa?ade. The paint colors for the

facade had been previously reviewed/approved. The Board reviewed and discussed

the application. It was noted that the neon signage being requested and a

banner had been installed without the Board?s prior review/approval. The

Board?s discussion focused on the primary sign and the need for the sign to be

with in a frame. A motion was made by Garry Pound to approve the awning,

approve the use of 2 neon signs and approve the installation of the primary

sign with the requirement that the sign have molding around it to frame the

sign. Cherie Sanders seconded the motion. The motion passed.







1239 Broadway Application was presented by Paul Krueger for rhino?s. The

request was to cover the existing existing black glass storefront surround with

black metal panels. The existing glass is damaged and the material is no

committee to review and approve the work.



1205 Front Avenue Application was presented by Bill Green for the W.C. Bradley

Company. The request was for approval of various fa?ade changes to the Eagle

and Phenix Mill project. After reviewing the Uptown Fa?ade District map, it

was determined that the project was not in the Fa?ade District and did not

require the Board?s review/approval. Mr. Green presented to the Board an

overview of the project and the proposed change to the facades. The

presentation was to inform the Board of the activity going on and provide an

opportunity to ask questions regarding the project. The Board discussed the
