Commissioner Hovingh asked if the two signs would be put on the north or south side. Mr. Quaglia responded that they both would be put on the north side as these are two separately owned properties. The public hearing was opened. Bill Hirst, 235 Main Street, stated he agreed with the conditions recommended by staff and urged approval of this application. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Hovingh was concerned about the size of the sign and hoped it wouldn't overwhelm the "Downtown Center" sign. Mr. Hirst stated that he didn't believe the proposed sign would overwhelm the shopping center. -3-
