Community Appearance Board approves two downtown signage requests
Summary
The Conway Community Appearance Board on an early-agenda vote approved two certificates of appropriateness for downtown signage: a wall sign for Duplicates Inc. at 1108 Third Avenue and a window graphic for the Conway police substation at 223 Main Street.
The Conway Community Appearance Board on an early-agenda vote approved two certificates of appropriateness for downtown signage: a wall sign for Duplicates Inc. at 1108 Third Avenue and a window graphic for the Conway police substation at 223 Main Street.
Planning staff told the board the proposed wall sign at 1108 Third Avenue would be 72 inches wide by 30 inches high, covering roughly 15 square feet — below the Unified Development Ordinance maximum of 33 square feet — and said, "The sign is compliant with the UDO, and renderings were included in your packet." An unnamed board member moved to approve "as presented" and the motion carried with all in favor; the transcript does not record a numeric vote tally.
For 223 Main Street, staff described a window graphic 23.5 inches wide by 30 inches high that would cover about 4.9 square feet of a window area where the maximum allowed is 5.7 square feet. Staff noted the graphic commemorates Odell Cochran, who began working at the Conway Police Department in January 1978 and later served as a lieutenant and community services officer; the design was also judged compliant with the UDO. Board discussion noted an existing sign at that location had previously been too large and the applicants were seeking the correct sizing. An unnamed board member moved to accept the application as presented; the motion was seconded and carried with all in favor.
Both approvals were recorded as routine certificates of appropriateness; planning staff and applicants provided renderings and sizing measurements in the meeting packet. The board did not specify conditions or require amendments to the submitted designs during the meeting.
