New Business

2789 Cold Springs Road – By-Pass Market/sign 
Mr. James Hickey, owner of Charles Sign and Mr. Dennis Sick, owner of the By-Pass Market were present this evening to address the Board.  
Mr. Hickey stated the proposed sign is 20-feet tall and 8-feet at its widest point.  The sign is a double-sided pylon with two (2) internally illuminated sign cabinets.  Top sign cabinet is 35 square feet and the bottom cabinet is 25 square feet, totaling 60 square feet. 
Mr. Johnson explained that the ARB has never approved internal lit signs in the Village.  The Resolution from the meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals dated June 11, 2018 states the condition of granting the variance for 2789 Cold Springs Road was “the sign shall be lit only during hours of business”, with the knowledge of the internal illumination.  
A discussion between the Board members and Mr. Hickey determined this issue would have to be discussed with the Village Attorney, Mr. Baldwin.  The question is, which Board has the final ruling on lighting of signs.  
Mr. Hickey assured the Board the internal light is for the sign only and not for the surrounding area, the lighting is standard and there is no way to control brightness.
Mr. Sick explained there will be nice landscaping around the base of the sign to improve the appearance of the area.
Mr. King has no reservations moving forward on this matter, the motion is as follows:
Motion by Mr. King to approve the sign design and color lay-out excluding from the decision of sign size and illumination from the Zoning Board of Appeals previous action, second by Mr. Johnson. 
                                      Carried 3:0
Meeting adjourned at 7:20pm. 
The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday September 4, 2018 at 7:00pm 
Respectfully Submitted, 
Mary E. Augustus
ARB Secretary
