Historic zoning commission approves Red Door Boutique sign; staff to confirm final size
Summary
The McMinnville Historic Zoning Commission approved a certificate of appropriateness for a 4x8 metal sign for Red Door Boutique at 108 West Main Street, with staff-directed adjustments if the sign would obstruct windows or architectural features.
The McMinnville Historic Zoning Commission approved a certificate of appropriateness for a new hanging metal sign for the Red Door Boutique at 108 West Main Street, with staff to confirm final dimensions and placement.
An applicant representing the boutique told the commission the sign is a 4-by-8 metal sign from a previous location that the business intends to hang under the existing awning using appropriate anchors. The applicant said he would remove old brackets and install the sign between the storefront windows. He also said he would adjust the sign if it proved too wide to leave an acceptable amount of brick visible at each side.
Commissioners and staff discussed how the sign compares with neighboring signs and emphasized that it should not obscure window features. Sean (staff member) said the proposal “meets all the applicable guidelines” as presented but recommended a field check; the commission agreed that staff may verify the final installation and, if minor size adjustments are needed (for example to 4-by-7), the applicant would not need to return to the commission.
The commission voted to approve the COA as presented, with the caveat that staff verify that the sign does not cover windows or architectural features. The motion had a second and the chair announced the motion carried; a roll-call tally was not recorded in the transcript.
