Planning commission approves two downtown sign permits; one applicant asked to appear in person
Summary
The commission approved a sign permit for 171 North Main Street (PC26001) and another for 51 Main Street (PC26002). Commissioners approved PC26002 but one commissioner recorded opposition and asked applicants to appear in person for future requests.
The Martinsville City Planning Commission approved two historic‑district sign permit applications during its meeting. Document PC26001, for 171 North Main Street, was approved after staff and an applicant representative explained the proposal to replace inserts and the sign frame to update the sign’s color and appearance.
The commission then considered PC26002, a change of sign inserts at 51 Main Street (owner listed as Elliot Chandler Holding LLC). Staff described the proposal as updating the text on an existing wall sign with the same frame; the commission approved the change but recorded one opposing vote from Commissioner Anne Miller, who said applicants should appear in person in the future.
Earlier in the meeting the commission also continued/tabled a separate sign request for 10 North Lane because the applicant did not provide required dimensions and had not consulted with staff; commissioners voted to table that request until the next meeting.
Next steps: staff will record permit approvals for PC26001 and PC26002, and the tabling for 10 North Lane will remain on the next meeting’s agenda until the applicant submits required materials.
