Staff Planner Lindsay Boyer presented the staff report which stated that the applicant is
requesting a fayade alteration and new signage. The proposed fayade change includes
covering the existing metal material with white Austin stone and the removal of the
awning. No windows or doors will be covered or changed. The roof line will be lowered
to match the height of the neighboring buildings.
Ms. Boyer also stated that the proposed sign is an attached metal sign approximately 16
square feet in size (4 x 4). The sign will be black and white, with single blue neon tube
around the edge. The type size for the word "BAR" will be 7 inches, and 9 inches for
"315". The proposed sign would be located above the window on the left side of the
building front.
Ms. Sawtelle motioned to approve the farade alteration and signage as submitted. Mr.
King seconded the motion, which passed unopposed (4-0).
AGENDA ITEM NO 5: Discussion, consideration, and possible action on a
fac;ade change and attached signage for O'Bannon's, located at 103 Boyett in
Northgate. (TF 05-102)
Senior Planner Trey Pletcher presented the staff report which stated that the applicant is
requesting signage, painting the awning of the building using the same colors as that of
the attached signage and to stain the exterior fayade.
Mr. Fletcher also stated that the proposed sign is 58.5 square feet. The allowed square
footage is 180.0. The proposed sign is wood composition. The colors consist of
Shamrock for the "Q'Bannon's" lettering and the bar below. The "Tap House" lettering
and graphic will be Vanilla Cream. The building fayade is proposed to be stained dark
brown. The awning colors should be compatible wit the overall color scheme of the
fayade. Solid colors or simple muted striped patterns are appropriate.
Concern was raised regarding the visual impact of the awning color pattern given the
length of the awning and the front fayade. Various alternative patterns were discussed to
improve the proposed appearance. Consensus was attained among the Board and the
applicant to emphasize the various parapet wall heights by painting two foot in cream and
the remainder with Shamrock color.
Mr. King motioned to approve the signs and the stain as submitted, and the awning to
be painted in sections corresponding with the change in building height to be painted
mainly in Shamrock green with 2foot sections of cream in between. Mrs. Sawtelle
seconded the motion, which passed unopposed (4-0).
