Location
Surrounding Area

Mr. Lew stated the proposal meets the guidelines for economic development and compatibility but deviates from the purpose statements and design guidelines for reducing signage.

 

MOTION: A motion was made by Member Buette and seconded by Member Shelton  to recommend that Town Council approve, OV3-07-05, Master Sign Program for Golf Villas Condominiums with the condition that the existing sign be painted to match the new sign.

 

Member Gribb stated he would vote against the motion because a second sign is outside of the code.
  
Chairman Zinkin stated he would vote against the motion because in his opinion this item is a variance and should be in front of the Board of Adjustment. Mr. Zinkin stated that the sign was unnecessary and sign pollution.  Mr. Zinkin also stated nothing in the environment had changed.
