Old Business: Berkshire Hathaway – 123 S Main St – wall sign & paint color –
Kari presented 2 options using palettes from the Design Guidelines.
The committee had questions regarding the "quilted” texture in the
renderings. Kai Lindborg from Finnish Finish stated the old sign
bolts would be removed. The committee requested a paint chip for
each color presented since each screen may not accurately present
the colors and it is a checklist requirement. Susanne and Cara had
questions regarding the sign material. Julie suggested a light neutral
background on the round disc with the logo. Kari suggested that Kai
send photos of each paint chip held against the brick on the building.
Kari will forward photos to the committee for approval. Cara moved
to approve the sign as shown with the recommendation that they
consider coloring the disc with the logo a different color and that
they also send Kari photos of the paint colors against the brick for
approval, Robin 2nd, approved (6-0).
