Consider a request by Michelle Brunner for approval of a Certificate for Alteration to allow three window signs and one proiecting wall sign for the new Quirky Bird business on Part of Lot 6, Block 23, Original Town of Lockhart, zoned CCB (Commercial Central Business District) Planning Staff Kevin Waller reported that the applicant proposes three window signs and a projecting wall sign for the new business entitled The Quirky Bird. Two of the window signs are identical in content and feature the business logo, measure four square feet each, and will be located on the large front window panels on both sides of the business' entry. The signs will be window decals and the text will utilize a whimsical-type font. The third window sign measures six square feet and will be located on the right-side window panel above one of the two new business logo signs. The proposed projecting wall sign, made of metal and measuring 15 square feet, will utilize the existing bracket that formerly held the SolYL Luna business hanging sign. Mr. Waller explained that it is not known how the proposed projecting wall sign would be attached ifthe canopy that was recently approved for the building was installed first, as the canopy's attachment would compromise the location of the existing bracket for the projecting sign. The sign, at that point, would need to be lowered to beneath the canopy as a hanging sign, but would not fit the category of a pre-approved sign. Mr. Waller explained that were this to take place, no additional approvals would be necessary. Mr. Waller utilized a PowerPoint presentation, answered Commissioners' questions, and stated that Staff recommends approval.

He shared the Building Official's email on the matter, dated March 16, 2020, which read: "The electrical services for the building at 207 E. Market Street have been in that same location for decades. In my opinion, the LHPC should not be involved in determining the location of electrical services. The location of the services should be determined byt the electrical: superintendent and/or the building official." Waller continued and shared the Electric Superintendent'semal. of the same date whichread: "There is no where else we can run these power lines to, and they have to stay where currently located in order to feed the building. We can get with the business and schedule an outage with them and shorten the length of the lines to avoid it looking bad. Please understand these lines have been like that for Chair Lairsen commented that he agreed with the opinions of the Building Official and the Electric Superintendent because none of them are experienced in the electrical field to make a proper decision. He added that he was glad the electric department would be willing to shorten Mr. Gibson added that moving the wiring would affect the interior circuits oft the building.
