PAGE 2 - DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE MINUTES - NOVEMBER 17,1999 MOVED BY WILSEY, SECONDED BY BARNES AND CARRIED WITH UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THOSE PRESENT TO APPROVE THE WALL SIGN FOR "316 FASHIONS" AT 110 SOUTH MAIN STREET WITH THE ABOVE CORRECTION TO CONDITON #1. 3. 110 North Main Street - "La Unica Mexican Food and Bakery" - Primary Wall Sign Community Development Director Brady stated this is a request for approval of the sign program for "La Unica Mexican Food and Bakery". He asked that Associate Planner Miller review the request with the Committee. - Associate Planner Miller noted that this is a request for four wall signs. She stated that "La Unica Mexican Food and Bakery" has been established on Main Street since 1983. She indicated that the restaurant is currently expanding due to its continued success. Associate Planner Miller stated that the Historic Architectural Elsinore Design Standards allow up to 60 square feet and the proposed signage is 69.4 square feet. Associate Planner Miller indicated that there are three built-in signage boxes for this building frontage. She noted that staffs main concern is that the applicant is proposing to have the restaurant name and logo cover an architectural column feature of the building. She stated that staff had submitted Exhibit 'B' as a possible solution, but the sign contractor has informed staffthat this layout is not workable due to electrical wiring difficulties. Associate Planner Miller stated that she submitted Exhibit '0' this evening as an alternative. Associate Planner Miller indicated that the applicant wanted to bring their original submittal to the Design Review Committee. Associate Planner Miller stated that staff is recommending that the Design Review Committee deny the applicant's original request and approve Exhibit '0'. Steve Harriman, Steve's Signs, provided a color exhibit showing a slightly revised version ofthe applicant's proposal. He noted the downsized letters so the three individual signs will fit within the built-in signage areas. He stated that the column is tile and it is flat with the rest of the building. He stated that staffhas removed the words "Mexican Food" from below the logo. He stated the colors will be muted, as there will be plastic faces on the signs. He stated that there are few color choices for plastic and the applicant choose a dark green and a popular red. Mr. Harrimer stated that the design as presented tonight has a well-balanced look and three out of the four signs are located within the built-in signage areas. He indicated that he was not sure of the exact sign area but that it will be less than 60 square feet. - Committee Member Wilsey noted that the photographs show a large tree in front of the restaurant that will block at least two of the four signs. Rose Topete, owner of La Unica, agreed that the tree is very big and stated that she would like to look into having the tree removed or trimmed as it does cover up some of the signs. Mrs. Topete also stated that the business has been on Main Street for 25 years, since 1974 years. She stated that Guadalajara has a nice sign but it is also a large neon sign. Mrs. Topete indicated that the sign will be balance and further noted that this is the only way to truly represent all three aspects of the restaurant. Mrs. Topete stated that she believes the sign will enhance the look along Main Street. Committee Member Wilsey suggested bringing the logo down to street level. Mrs. Topete stated that they are trying to attract drive-by traffic. Committee Member Matthies also noted that the restaurant already has window signs. - Committee Member Matthies noted that she sees the "La Unica" logo as bringing together two businesses. She said the original business included the Mexican Food and Bakery and the new business is the Tortilleria. She said this is a nice visual merging of the two. Committee Member Barnes stated that Exhibit 'B' is better as the tree will otherwise block the "Mexican Food" sign. He stated it is very unlikely that the tree will be cut down. Mr. PAGE 3 - DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE MINUTES - NOVEMBER 17, 1999 Harriman stated it would be unsafe to have a separate sign that low on the building face as then the electrical wiring would have to be run through the attic instead of on the roof. He further stated that the lower sign would block the building vents.
