Conway board approves multiple storefront signs and an awning replacement
Summary
The Conway Community Appearance Board approved certificates of appropriateness for window and door graphics, hanging bracket signs and an awning replacement for several downtown businesses, finding the proposals compliant with the UDO. The board also noted an insurance claim related to a city vehicle hitting an awning.
The Conway Community Appearance Board on Monday approved several certificates of appropriateness for storefront signage and an awning replacement across downtown businesses.
Miss Dennis, who presented the applications, said the Long Law Firm at 211 Laurel Street proposed a fixed window logo that leaves the total graphic under the UDO limit: the window area is about 35.4 square feet, the maximum graphic allowance on that window is 8.9 square feet, and the proposed logo measures 7.1 square feet. "The request is compliant with the UDO," she said. The board moved and voted to approve the application.
At 910 3rd Avenue, the applicant for 46.19 Interiors & Fine Gifts sought a double-sided hanging bracket sign (about 3 square feet) and door/window graphics. Miss Dennis said one door graphic measured 21.6 square feet but "the hours-of-operation area is 1.58 square feet" and that the UDO excludes that hours block from the coverage calculation; after excluding that area the design met the 5.4-square-foot maximum for door graphics. The board approved the item.
For 327 Main Street (Simply Trendy), board members reviewed a 30.3-square-foot wall sign, a 3-square-foot hanging bracket sign and modest door graphics. Board members asked about color in the renderings (noting the logo appeared pink and black); after discussion the board approved the proposal.
At 317 Laurel Street, a Grady's Jewelers application asked to replace a damaged canopy with a black powder-coated aluminum awning. Speaker 6 told the board the original awning had been struck by a city recycling or garbage truck and that the business has been resolving an insurance claim for more than a year. The board described the proposed replacement as a like-for-like installation and approved it.
All sign and awning items were approved by voice votes during the meeting. No appeals or denials were recorded.
The board also approved minutes from the Oct. 22 meeting and adopted its 2026 meeting schedule earlier in the session.
