Committee conditions Oakberry and asks for stacked frontage sign to preserve facade art
Summary
The committee approved an illuminated blade sign for Oakberry and required the frontage 'açai' portion be stacked (two-line) to avoid covering existing purple artwork on the building; the blade mounting was conditioned to match adjacent signs' elevations.
Solutions Electrical presented blade and frontage sign designs for Oakberry at 2619 NW 2nd Ave. The blade sign was described as illuminated aluminum, mounted with the bottom at about 8 feet above sidewalk, and the frontage channel letters were proposed as illuminated flush-mounted characters. Committee members repeatedly flagged the purple triangular artwork on the facade and recommended a two-line (stacked) frontage sign so the sign does not interfere with the building art.
One committee member moved to approve the blade sign with a condition requiring the mounting elevation to match adjacent signs on the block; a subsequent motion approved the frontage sign with a stacked "açai" line to preserve the purple artwork. The applicant accepted the conditions. "We have had some difficulty with the landlord on this property..." the presenter said, noting coordination challenges; the committee stressed consistency in elevation and proportion across adjacent signage.
