Proposals for Design Review
1. ORB 97-027 Artistic Glass Studios - Dwight Matheny, Owner
413 Cleveland Street (Signage Request - New Sign and Replacement)
Mr. McCarty presented background information stating the applicant proposes changes
to existing signage on a storefront window, new signage on an existing canopy and a new
business identification sign hanging from beneath the canopy perpendicular to the sidewalk.
A photograph of the existing storefront and two drawings of the new signage were
submitted for illustration. '
Dwight Matheny, the owner/applicant, displayed examples of the artistic glass work
done by the studio. He responded to general questions regarding the proposal. All colors
will remain the same, except as indicated on the elevation drawing. No verbal or written
, support or opposition was expressed.
Mr. McCarty said the applicant is considering staWs recommendation to enhance the
main entrance door and transom area with designs reflecting the stai~ed glass business, in

keeping with the design guidelines, in due time. Staff recommended approval as the
proposal is consistent with design guidelines and a good addition for downtown.
Member Herberich moved to approve ORB 97-027 as presented. The motion was duly
seconded and carried unanimously.
Mr. McCarty requested the applicant to submit drawings indicating the actual lettering
size for area calculations by zoning staff.
2. ORB 97-028 - Angies Restaurant. Angie Chaconas, Owner
725 Cleveland Street -- (Awning and Signage Request - New and Replacement)
Mr. McCarty presented background information, stating the applicant proposes to add
'awnings and signage to three sides of an existing restaurant. The interior is being
remodeled. Although it was not required, staff was consulted regarding colors for exterior
and roof repainting. The applicant wished to ensure the roof tiles more closely reflect roof
colors in the vicinity. Mr. McCarty noted the applicant has reversed the awning color
scheme from what was submitted in the packet. The owner feels an off-white canvas
canopy with red lettering would be more appropriate for the area than a red awning.
.
louis Chaconas, son of the owner, appreciated the Design Review Board for providing
an important safeguard by helping guide property owners regarding design decisions. If not
for the design review requirement, he would have contracted for red awnings, which he
realizes would not have been appropriate when backlighted at night. The awnings will be
an eggshell color, a half shade lighter than the exterior walls. As he does not want or need
to use his entire sign age allowance, he will eliminate the word, "restaurant" from one
awning. He requested board approval, stating the awnings will be a plus for downtown.
No verbal or written support or opposition was expressed.
Mr. McCarty endorsed the proposal with its reversed color scheme and minimal
signage. Board members agreed, stating the red canvas would have faded. In response to
a question, Mr. Chaconas stated backlighting is still being used.
Member Plisko moved to approve DRB 97-028 with the condition the proposed colors
shall be reversed from what was presented in the application. As discussed above, the
main canopy will be off-white with red lettering. The motion was duly seconded and
carried unanimously.
Board and Staff Discussion
Member McCann and Mr. McCarty extended holiday greetings to all.
Mr. McCarty submitted the 1998 DRB meeting schedule as approved at the last
meeting, and a list of advisory board application submission deadlines for the first quarter
of 1998.
