Public Comment: None Closed on motion by member Healey, 2nd member Steinhorst, approved by vote 3-0 Conclusion: Application is approved as presented for: Item 1: hanging sign Motion by member Healey, 2nd by member Steinhorst.

Application presented by: Hispana Sign. Requesting new illuminated channel sign. Architectural Review Board June 15, 2022 Minutes pg. 2 Board discussion: Sign as proposed would be mounted in 2 sections; 1 lightbox mounted to brick façade, 1 channel letter sign on raceway, with letters illuminated. Internal illumination is permitted in this zoning area. The ‘SMOKE SHOP’ portion of the signage as proposed would not fit entirely on the brick as it is larger than the available space, and thusly would cover part of the roofing trim as well as hang down over the window. The members of the board objected to the signs size, and asked that it be resized and/or reshaped to fit entirely on the brick area only; either above the window or to the left of the window. Another option we suggested would be to change it to a window sign. Public Comment: None Public comment remains open Conclusion: Application is not approved as presented. Board requested applicant re apply with changes as described. 3. 84 Main Street. The Breakfast & Burger Club. Application for an awning. Application presented by: Mersina Ocampo, Owner.
