Item #1: Chairman Redding called the meeting to order at 6:17 p.m. by announcing a quorum, consisting
of all members.
Item #2: Review and approve the minutes of the meetings held on March 16, 2004. There was a motion
by Mr. Sparrow, seconded by Mr. Held, to approve the minutes as presented. There was no discussion
and the motion carried unanimously.
Item #3: Conduct a Public Hearing and take any appropriate action regarding an application filed by
Diego's Restaurant requesting a variance to the Town's sign standards. Mr. Petty explained to the Board
that the sign Diego's Restaurant wants to erect would violate the Town's sign standards in three ways:
(1) the height of the letters, (2) the total square footage of the sign and (3) illumination. Mr. Tom Allen,
a partner with Maguire Partners, was in attendance representing the applicant and answered several
questions from the Board. The Public Hearing was opened at 6:20 p.m. Mr. Scott Bradley of 10
Paigebrooke Lane in Westlake spoke in favor of the application and suggested that the one -foot
restriction on the height of the letters makes little sense if, for example, Renaissance Hotel were to use
only a single "R". for its logo sign that otherwise would fit within the overall size limitation. As no one
else wished to address the Board the Public Hearing was closed at 6:22 p.m. There was a motion by Mr.
Held, seconded by Mr. Brown, to approve the application filed by Diego's Restaurant to alleviate a
hardship. Mr. Sparrow suggested that due to the development expected in the future the Board of
Aldermen should take a look at the current sign standards. There was no further discussion and the
motion carried unanimously.
Item #4: There was a motion by Mr. Brown, seconded by Mr. Frey, to adjourn. There was no discussion
and the motion carried unanimously.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:25 p.m.
Approved by the Zoning Board of Adjustment on September 27, 2004.
