Board approves 16.4-sq-ft foam sign for Studio A on East 5th Street
Summary
The Design Review Board approved case DR26-09 for a 16.4 sq ft foam wall sign for Studio A (206 E. 5th St.). The sign will be stud-mounted, painted gold/bronze, and meet downtown zoning; lighting may be controlled by timer or photo cell.
The Davenport Design Review Board approved a 16.4-square-foot wall sign for Studio A at 206 East 5th Street after staff said the proposal met downtown design guidelines and zoning requirements. Staff presented renderings and recommended approval in accordance with the submitted materials.
Studio A owner Amy described the proposed finish as "a little bit more bronze than shown" to coordinate with building features. A Sign Works representative explained the letters will be stud-mounted and painted with waterproof paint; the largest letters will be about 10.5 inches tall, the second line about 4 inches, and the overall width roughly 103.25 inches. Board members asked about durability and how long foam letters last; the petitioner said they are a less expensive option but can last a good amount of time when properly finished.
The petitioner said lighting could be controlled by a timer or a photo cell and staff noted sign brightness must conform to existing zoning regulations. The board voted to approve the design as submitted with no amendments recorded.
