The following changes were agreed upon:

• Change (2) to prohibit portable and banner signs and to correct reference. Change also required to 8.08.00(A)1
• Make (3) consistent with other palette language, which I will be developing
• Prohibit Billboards in the district
• Allow interpretive signing that is approved by Historical Society and the AAB
• Sign approvals must go through the AAB
• On premise commercial signs no higher than 8 feet, less than 32sf, leading edge of sign setback 5 feet from property line, construction materials primarily wood with masonry footers & pillars… sign should be congruous with the construction of building
• Wall signage 5% per elevation on each road frontage not to exceed 16sf; mural shall be considered wall signage
