The board approved a 10-foot digital sign for WestMeadow Creamery under a special permit limited to the current installation; motion passed 4–0 with one absence. No county referral was required for the signage-only application.

Tom Holland represented WestMeadow Creamery on July 1 in a request for a digital, two-post sign 10 feet above grade, where the local statutory height limit is 8 feet.

Motion to approve the special permit was made by Board Member Chandra Cotter, seconded by Board Member Roberta Thomas; the recorded vote was 4 ayes, 0 noes, 0 abstentions, 1 absent (Terri Easterly). The minutes state that no county referral was required for signage-only applications.
