Board pulls Phinney Design Group sign application for 1 Franklin Square over vinyl post sleeves, requests revised submission
Summary
A board member flagged vinyl sleeves in the Phinney Design Group signage application for 1 Franklin Square; the Design Review Board pulled the item from consent and asked the applicant to submit revised drawings showing wood posts or other natural material.
The Design Review Board removed the Phinney Design Group signage application for 1 Franklin Square from the consent agenda on June 12 after a member pointed out specifications for vinyl sleeves and caps on freestanding sign posts.
Board members said vinyl sleeves are inappropriate in the city’s historic and T6 urban core district and discussed conditioning approval on all‑wood posts or asking the applicant to return with revised drawings. The Chair proposed tabling the application to allow the applicant to submit amended materials; the board agreed to have staff (Beige) relay the conversation and place the revised application on the next consent agenda if it meets guidelines.
Next steps: applicant to submit revised drawings showing natural post finish (wood) or an alternative that meets historic‑district standards; staff will place the item on the next meeting’s consent agenda if the submission conforms to conditions.
