Sandwich Board Discussion:
Ms. Garrett brought up the fact that that the regulations
merely state that signs must be 2'x4';perhaps other standards
should be in place also. Mr. Huey proposed that we suggest
guidelines against which applicants may apply for permits; this
would also simplify GPC judgments for these applications. Mr.
Huey volunteered to put in writing some guidelines regarding
appearance, maintenancer/epair, location, and the best way to
handle changeable letters. These guidelines would not necessarily
be codified.

Announcements
Mr. Tailford showed pictures of a possible new sign to be
placed at all entrances to the village. Signs at other villages
were discussed, and members had some suggestions for the
designer, Mr. Kessler. The signs should provide information
easily read in the smallest possible size and should be in a
muted color. Ms. Robertson thought the words "established 1805"
could be added.
Mr. Huey reported that he had seen informational arrows
added to roads to point out fire hydrants in a town where he
visited and thought it was a good idea.
Adjournment: 8: 50 p. m.
Next Meeting: February 27, 7 p. m. -joint meeting between
Village Council and GPC to discuss neon signs.
