The Committee expressed their preference to have the applicant add a raised border to the wall
sign to add the dimensionality required by the Design Guidelines. The Committee also discussed
whether the kiosk was appropriate for the Village, but ultimately decided to support the kiosk
because it improves the pedestrian experience. The Committee also determined that the kiosk
does not fit the definition of an electronic reader board sign because of the user controls the
messaging and the kiosk would not be a distraction to passing motorists.
Vice Chair Berlin made a motion, seconded by Chair Hoag, to recommend approval of the project
with the following conditions:
1. The wall sign shall have a matte finish;
2. A border shall be added to the perimeter of the wall sign to add dimensionality; and
The motion passed 3-1-1 on the following voice vote:
