by Board Member Garry Pound to approve the request for raised black lettering

1239 Broadway Application was presented by Zeall Augustus for Spices. The

and the addition of signage on the glass storefront door. The Board
reviewed and discussed the application. The Board?s discussion
focused on the addition of red tinting to the storefront windows. The
addition of the tinting was not part of the application and was added
without the Board?s prior review/approval. A motion was made by

and signage as presented. The tinting on the storefront glass may
remain for 30 days pending Board review. An application will need
to be submitted at the November Board Meeting for the Board?s
review/approval. Failure to submit an application will result in non
compliance for the business. Board Member Brenda Price seconded
the motion. The motion passed.
