Discussion of and possible action on approving the following Certificates of
Appropriateness:
A. - Randy and Beverly Pendleton
Beverly Pendleton - 24 West Plaza
presented a drawing of the front of the building along with proposed 4'
lettering for their sign which will read “Antiques.” Claudia Hunt stated
that she did think the lettering size was to scale with the building and
that the font was not appropriate. She also expressed concern that the
sign did not give the name of the business. Mr. Pendleton stated he
had found old photographs of the building, and the proposed colors
and letter sizes are similar to what was there. Mr. Denney stated he
would have no problem with the lettering if it were reduced in size by
about a third. A reduced copy was made and reviewed. Motion to
approve the color scheme and lettering with the condition that the
lettering be no larger than 3'6" tall, with the same proportions as
submitted, was made by Paul Denney, seconded by Jerry Raper. Brian
Wear inquired whether painting the stucco would violate the design
guidelines, and Mr. Denney stated it would not since stucco is
commonly painted. Motion carried 3-2 with Brian Wear and Claudia
Hunt in opposition.
B. - Mr. Ressler advised the
Victor E. Ressler - 728 1st Street S.W.

Lancaster. Motion carried 5-0.
