The Historic and Architectural Review Commission Sign Subcommittee is responsible for

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. Consideration and possible action on a request for a Certificate of Design Compliance for the
addition of lighting to an existing sign and a bird repeller for City of Georgetown, Block 41,
Lot 8 (pt), ± 0.08 acres, located at 716 S. Austin Ave. (CDC-2007-030).
Robbie Wyler presented the case, the applicant is asking for approval of lighting for a sign
and a bird repeller box.
The applicant, David Voelter explained that the County Historical Museum has spent two
years looking at different lighting options. They are now asking to put in strip fluorescent
lighting with a conduit from the attic and then hiding the conduit along the framework and
columns.
There was discussion about the bird repeller placement and color of the box being installed.
The box will be hidden from view and Mr. Voelter assured the Committee that the sound
emitted from the box was inaudible to the human ear.
Motion by Johnson to approve the addition of lighting to the existing sign and permission to
install a bird repeller in the most appropriate place on the building with staff approval, in
black or white color, depending on the chosen location. Second by Knight. Approved 2 – 0.
Meeting was adjourned at 9:12 a.m.
