The Historic and Architectural Review Commission Sign Subcommittee is responsible for
hearing and taking final action on sign applications, by issuing Certificates of Design
Compliance based upon the City Council adopted Downtown Design Guidelines. This is a
regular scheduled meeting of the Sign Subcommittee, for consideration and possible action on
the following:
1. Review and possible approval of the minutes from the January 8, 2009 Sign Subcommittee
meeting.
Motion by Johnson to approve the minutes as presented. Second by Knight. Approved 3-0.
2. Consideration and possible action on a request for a Certificate of Design Compliance for
signage at City of Georgetown, Block 40, Lot 7(NW/PT), located at 715 S. Main Street. (CDC-
2008-047)
Wyler presented the application. The winery on the square is moving locations and
changing its name and therefore its sign. The sign will be attached above the canopy,
centered wit the Main Street entrance. It will be 84 inches wide by 24 inches tall and will
read “Georgetown Winery” with two bunches of grapes in each of the upper corners as
shown in the rendering. A tan background will be used with burgundy text and trim to help
tie in the sign with both the building and the business. Slotted angle irons will be used to
attach the sign. At the time of the application, no illumination was proposed.
Staff recommends approval of the sign based on compliance with Design Guidelines 9.1, 9.9,
9.13, 9.17, 9.18, and 9.21.
Motion by Knight to approve the sign as approved. Second by Johnson. Approved 3 – 0.
3. Adjournment. Gonzalez adjourned the meeting at 5:44 p.m.
