DeBruin, seconded by R. Peterson to approve the minutes of March 3, 2011 as presented. Ayes 7, Nays 0 – Motion Carried Unanimously Review/Possible Action on Application filed by Tim Verstegen for Jet’s Pizza building located at 202 W. Main – Building Façade, Sign & Awnings Discussion took place on the proposed design for fabric awnings in a forest green color, the color called pony tail as the main color for the building with offsetting stripes in the color of heavy cream. It was noted that awnings were allowed on this building because the awnings are not in the right-of-way. Tim Verstegen stated that he has checked with the Jet’s Pizza franchise and it is required that the Jet’s Pizza trademark logo sign has to be in block letters but the size is negotiable and the sign will be internally backlit and the goal is to have good exposure for people coming over the bridge. J. Moes recommended that the size of the logo’s letters be set at a maximum of 18 inches in height and all of the building’s lettering be consistent with block lettering. Board members agreed with the colors being presented. Tim Verstegen commented that he would like to do an Old European façade renovation to the building but he is leasing the building and he is not able to do that at this time. Discussion took place on the landscaping and Tim Verstegen stated they plan to disguise the corner where the gas meter is located and wrap the landscaping around the Main St. side of the building. Staff stated that the old existing sign pole would need to be removed and they explained to Mr. Van Dyn Hoven that the pole is non- conforming and that is why it needs to be removed. Moved by R. Peterson, seconded by J. Elrick to approve the Plan for the Jet’s Pizza Building at 202 W. Main Street as submitted with the maximum height of the letters set at 18 inches, with all block lettering to be used and that the pole be removed and a landscaping plan is to be submitted to staff for review and approval. Ayes 7, Nays 0- Motion Carried Unanimously Review/Discussion of Application filed by Colortech of Wisconsin – Scott Timm, for Express Station located at 303 W. Main Street – Reface Existing Sign and Gas Canopy, Replace Sign on Building Façade, Image Existing Gas Pumps The applicant is requesting to replace the existing sign and gas canopy with Express Convenience Center Image standards; replace the Express Sign on the building façade and the gas pumps. C. Kell stated that the reason this is not on the agenda for action at this time is because the property is in the Central Business District and it is a non-conforming use so none of these changes could be made under the current ordinance. C. Kell stated that currently there are  Design Review Board Meeting Minutes – June 27, 2011 – Page 2 negotiations going on for the purchasing of additional property and doing an expansion of the business and those negotiations have not been settled. However, if there is a renovation and additional property is acquired and they are willing to make this type of investment, there may be consideration to allow these changes. Discussion took place on the issue of the colors not being those that are designated in the Design Manual, changing the roof structure of the gas pump canopy and options for signs. Scott Timm, Colortech, representing US Venture, Inc., discussed the possibility of updating the existing property and having the Village work with the company on the logo colors and signage. Discussion continued and no action was taken at this time. Unfinished Business J. Van Dyn Hoven asked for the Board to consider not requiring the removal of the pole and to think about allowing an American Flag to be added to it or he suggested that maybe it could somehow be used for the Windmill or the Village. Staff stated the base could be left in the ground but the pole must be removed because it is non-conforming. Items for Future Agenda C. Kell stated he had not heard back from The Carpenter about changing their sign. Discussion took place on the terms of the members and the need to have a current member serve as an alternate member.
