Motion passed unanimously. Case No. DR/03 -17. US Bancorp Piper Jaffary sign re- submittal. John Upgren, applicant, Gary Nassas and Chris Clark. On November 4, 202, the Commissioner reviewed this proposal and suggested to the applicant from the sign company that the sign should be a projecting sign. The representative agreed to the projecting sign without confirming it with the business represented, or the owner of the building. The owner of the building, John Upgren is requesting a re- submittal. Mr. Upgren requested a design review for two US Bancorp Piper Jaffray signs. The building is on the corner of Main Street and Mulberry Street. Both proposed signs are solid brass 20" by 3'11" satin finish with flat cutout; solid brass letters, polished finish attached. The signs will be installed at the corner of the building. Each sign will be light with an existing fluorescent 4" wide fixture above and angling the light down and toward the wall. The fixtures will be painted to match the red brick wall. Mr. Nassas was concerned about the large construction trucks that park on the street would block the signs. The business would like as much retail exposure as possible. The brass projecting sign was too heavy. Commissioner Johnson suggested that the signs be relocated. Mr. Clark voiced his concern about the HPC giving design suggestion since the Commission is not qualified to do so. From his standpoint the signs would best suit the business' purpose if the signs were placed on the corners of the building.
