Comments were received from the Historic District Commission and the Zoning Administrator. Presenter: Grant Gao, Designer The hearing opened at 7:52 PM Mr. Gao stated the previously installed sign has been removed. The owner thought the sign was included in the original awning permit. They would like to legalize the sign and put it back up. Acting Chair, Jeanne K. Krieger, stated the proposal requires review by the Historic District Commission sense it is in the Historic District. Until they have appeared before the Historic District Commission the Board cannot act on this today and it will have to be continued. There was a discussion about the photos submitted and previous signs. A Board Member, David G. Williams, stated there are too many signs advertising the store currently. There are window signs that they are not allowed to have. (Mr. Gao responded the banner has been taken down and he will work with his client to fix this). Mr. Krieger suggested a continuance.
