Summary

Commissioners asked for redesigned sign proportions and clearer guardrail details; designer said letters will be painted dimensional wood and will submit revised sign placement and guardrail detail in updated drawings.

The board reviewed the proposed painted wood sign and asked that it be reduced in size and better centered over the storefront opening to avoid overpowering the facade. One commissioner suggested shrinking the letter sizes and adjusting kerning so the sign reads as centered over the door rather than dominating the facade.

Members also requested a detailed guardrail drawing (posts, cap detail and how the rails sit between posts) and confirmation of decking material. The designer confirmed the decking will be a Trex composite board and said he will include guardrail and sign mounting details in the next submission.
