Owner of Hope Bayou Outfitters tells board poor signage has hurt customers; promises follow-up on installation details
Summary
The applicant testified that limited storefront signage since opening in 2023 has made the shop hard to find and asked for a projecting sign, new lighting and a wooden backing; she pledged to provide precise dimensions and installation details after approval.
The applicant for a sign permit told the board that poor visibility has affected business since Hope Bayou Outfitters opened in 2023 and described what she said would remedy the problem. "We they can't find us because of signage," she said, explaining the current sign is limited to a door and window and a projecting sign on Main Street would make the store easier to find.
She described the proposed sign and installation details: a painted inlay set into a wooden backing, sealed for weatherproofing, and two swan-neck fixtures to illuminate the sign from above rather than a backlit display. The applicant acknowledged the application materials listed "58 inches" for the circle but did not clarify whether that is diameter or circumference and said she would retrieve the vendor's specifications and provide firm dimensions and attachment details on request. The board approved the application by voice vote; the transcript does not record conditions beyond the applicant's offer to follow up.
