Ice-cream shop approved with two signs; board flags need for food-truck rules
Summary
AJ Alsup’s conversion of a former hair salon to an ice-cream shop was approved with a requirement to reduce three requested signs to two; the board discussed temporary vendor and food-truck activity on adjacent lawn and urged the planning commission to consider clearer regulations.
AJ Alsup told the board the proposal converts a former hair salon into an ice-cream shop with three proposed sign surfaces; after discussion Alsup agreed to reduce the request to two signs and the board accepted the conditional-use application with that change.
Board members reviewed sign square-footage limits, projecting-sign height and mounting rules and noted a two-sign-per-building policy. Alsup said the business would likely eliminate the storefront vinyl sign and expand a circular corner sign to keep within square-foot limits: “We’ll drop back to 2 signs,” Alsup said. The board also discussed temporary vendor operations and food trucks on the adjacent lawn (East End Park area). Alsup described the vendor area as seasonal and artisanal rather than a permanent drive-through food service, and said trucks would be temporary and oriented to the lawn and park access. Several members said the town lacks consistent food-truck regulations and suggested the planning commission consider rules for temporary vendors. The application was accepted with the signage reduced to two signs and standard permit conditions.
