Old Business: None
New Business:
245 Windward Way — changing the face of an existing freestanding sign. Beige
background to match bldg. It strikes the committee that there might be a bit too much
lettering for the size of the sign. John moved to approve; Bill seconded. Approved 5-0.
Glacier State — new freestanding signs at 600 Liberty and 506 Ist Ave W. Looks like a
bunch of rocks piled up. Landscape work still needs to be done. Committee wants to see
plan — suggest low lying juniper (keep in mind traffic vision). Bill moved to table both
signs; John seconded. Motion to table passes 6-0.
Other Discussion:
Potential Awards Program — intent is to promote ARC. Should it be the downtown
core? City wide? Doesn't need to be an annual thing. If the focus is the downtown, it
should not be limited to just preservation. It should include restoration. Maybe award it
at a council meeting. Residential? Probably not, but maybe another entity would. Maybe
we could partner up with another group for funding — BID or Chamber? Think about a
sign category. Discussed facade loans.
