Commission tables two sign applications, notes small adjustments to Wayfair signs and approves corrected minutes
Summary
The commission tabled an incomplete application and a no-show sign application, accepted minor relocations for Chamber Wayfair signs, and approved corrected minutes after motions and a vote.
The Stark District Commission moved to table an incomplete application from Gregory Bayer and Crystal Gregory and to hold the Settlers Rock Realty LLC sign application until the applicant appears. The commission also heard an update on Wayfair directional signs placed by the Block Island Chamber of Commerce and accepted small location adjustments for vision and water-line concerns.
Commission members discussed that the Settlers Rock sign was already installed; staff will clarify whether the applicant must remove or reapply for the altered sign. The commission directed staff (Jennifer) to handle the administrative follow-up and to treat similar cases consistently.
The commission reviewed and corrected typographical and factual errors in minutes from April, May and June meetings (including name spellings and wording about shutters and administrative approvals). After motions and a second, the commission voted to accept the corrected minutes.
Specific items reported in the meeting: - Gregory Bayer and Crystal Gregory: application incomplete; item tabled until next month. No hearing held. - Settlers Rock Realty LLC: applicant not present; commission to table the sign application and staff to advise on whether the sign already placed must be removed or retroactively approved. - Block Island Chamber of Commerce Wayfair signs: several approved signs required slight relocations for sight lines and to avoid a water line; the relocations were accepted as minor adjustments. - Minutes corrections: the commission made a motion to accept corrected minutes for April 28, May (noted as May 18/19 corrections in record) and June 23, with a second and an "Aye" recorded on the vote-call.
Commission members noted that some signs had been moved only a few inches to a foot to avoid utility conflicts or improve visibility. Members also discussed consistent enforcement after examples of other businesses putting up signs without prior permission.
The meeting closed after approving the corrected minutes and taking the administrative actions above.
