Committee holds relocation request for 33 Main Street projecting sign pending precise siting and mounting details
Summary
An approved projecting sign for 33 Main Street was reconsidered after building plans showed a different primary entrance; the committee identified a preferred bracket location near the double green doors but held the application for revised elevations and exact mounting details.
The committee reviewed a request to relocate a previously approved projecting sign at 33 Main Street to a different entrance (double green doors). Members accepted that the green doors are a legitimate entrance and expressed support for placing the bracket closer to the door, but they said the application lacked the detailed elevation and mounting-height information needed to issue a final approval.
Commissioners asked the applicant to indicate exact mounting points (centered between the column and door jamb), confirm vertical clearance from the sidewalk (the committee reminded applicants that the bottom of projecting signs must be at least 7 feet 6 inches above the sidewalk), and provide a scaled drawing showing how the sign relates to adjacent architectural features. The applicant was directed to return with those details. The committee voted to hold for revisions.
Why it matters: sign location relative to actual building entrances affects wayfinding and streetscape coherence. Accurate, to-scale elevations are required for staff to verify compliance with the HDC sign guidelines.
Next steps: applicant to submit revised elevation drawings and exact mounting details; staff to place the item on the next agenda once documentation is complete.
