Approval of Minutes: Mark moved to approve the March 22 minutes; Janet seconded.
Approved 4-0.
Old Business:
Redneck Chic — 119 E Idaho; freestanding sign. They would like to go with the option of
doing one sign face on the pole (parallel to the street) and using the other sign face on the
east wall of the building. Carol moved to approve; Mark seconded. Approved 4-0.
Applebee's — 2322 Hwy 93 N; new restaurant (reconsideration of prior condition of
approval — alternative suggestion); they would rather not do the false window. As an
alternative, they drew up an option which changes the mechanical room door to the east side
and adds an awning over it. The location of the tree changes slightly. Some discussion
regarding the space between the awning and the door. Janet moved to approve; Mark
seconded. Approved 4-0.
New Business:
1322 Whitefish Stage — new freestanding sign. Sign was already built and does not comply
with sign ordinance. Applicant not present. Carol moved to table with the suggestion that it
be brought into compliance and landscaping be added at the base. Mark seconded. Motion
to table passed 4-0.
Albertsons — 900 W Idaho. Changing part of wall logo for pharmacy. Carol moved to
approve. Janet seconded. Approved 4-0.
Rent -A -Center — 35 W Idaho. Not listed on agenda, but is fairly minor change to existing
sign. New face for freestanding sign which tweaks the logo, but main purpose is to drop the
loans/checks cashed listing, which they no longer do. Carol moved to approve; Janet
seconded. Approved 4-0.
Other Discussion: None
