Mr. Abbott replied that he cannot speak for what is there right now as it was that way when he came into the picture. He then explained that the basis for their request and what they are trying to achieve is to have 18 inches to the bottom of the lowest price, which is the diesel price, and 18 inches of landscape in the foreground. He added that the reality is they will do what needs to be done and find some ways and measures to make sure the pricing can be seen. noted that what he sees on the screen is very different from what he has in front of him. He asked if there was a color board, to which the applicant replied that the Commissioners are passing it around. After viewing the board, noted that the colors look much closer to what is on the screen than what he has. Mr. Abbott agreed that the two colors on the Danville elevation are nowhere near the contrast on the printed copies. Chair Narum stated that when this area was built, there was a lot of discussion and emphasis on making it look like residential and blend in with the housing behind it. She noted that one of the things she really likes about the current signage is the area that states T because it strikes her as residential. She added that she understands why the applicant does not want it to say Bernal Corners because it is not anywhere near the ExtraMile; however, she asked Mr. Abbott if they would consider T there. Commissioner Blank stated that an equal case could be argued that Bernal Corners is very neighborhood. He indicated that he thinks there will be a lot of possibilities when potential solutions are proposed. Chair Narum stated that she does not disagree with Bernal Corners but assumed that it has to do with branding. Mr. Abbott stated that one reason they have a singular chilled wine band color over the ExtraMile Market is because the center door is split, and people can go either way. He noted that the ExtraMile Market entrance is the entrance to the right, and they struggled with what to do with the middle, whether they should put a band there as well and ExtraMile Market over it. He added that while there is room in the signage program to do this, it does not make sense. He stated that strictly from his perspective, there would be more balance to put Bernal Corners at the center, with the ExtraMile Market and the Jack in the Box on either side. Commissioner Blank asked if Mr. Abbott if he has spent any time watching the facility. Mr. Abbott replied that he did so for about one to one-and-a-half hours.
