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 April 9, 2009 Sign Subcommittee
meeting.
Motion by Moore to approve the minutes as presented. Second by Pergl. Approved 3 – 0.
2. Consideration and possible action on a request for a Certificate of Design Compliance for
signage at City of Georgetown, Block 51, Lot 8(S/PT), located at 823 S. Austin Avenue. (CDC-
2009-008)
Wyler presented the application. The applicant seeks approval to replace one hanging sign
and one projecting sign due to the change in business ownership within the building. The
new signs will remain the same size and material as the existing ones and will remain in the
same location. The only change will be the verbiage and color of each sign.
Pergle questioned the vibrancy of the red on the printed example. The owner, Avis Wukasch
was present and responded that the ink in the printer she used was brighter than the sign
would be. She said the red would be the same color dark red that is used on all Keller
Williams’ signs. Johnson questioned whether the signs would hide the historic gas pumps.
Ms. Wukasch stated the pumps would not be hidden as the signs were proposed to go into
the existing frames that did not currently hide the pumps.
Motion by Pergle to approve the Certificate of Design Compliance for signage as presented.
Second by Moore. Approved 3 – 0.
3. Adjournment. Chair Johnson adjourned the meeting at 5:36 p.m.
