Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />October 20, 2014 <br />Page 5 of 12 <br />Watson stated the applicant can make any changes to the text on the marquee without <br />a need for an amendment to the conservation easement. He asked staff what other <br />changes would be needed. <br />Trice gave detail on what would require a change. <br />Stoneman stated his primary focus is the change to the screen. He recommended <br />coming back next month with some additional modifications that might be more <br />accepted. <br />Fahey wanted to clarify ownership, especially after the Empire Sign issue. <br />Stoneman stated he is leasing the building and has a letter from the owner stating his <br />understanding of the project. <br />Robinson stated the letter will satisfy the ownership concerns. <br />Fasick stated she would recommend exploring the change on the screen to focus on the <br />REX theater while still placing the Madera Grill somewhere on the screen as well. <br />Echohawk recommends placing "Historic Rex Theater" as well. <br />Stoneman said it might get too busy, but he will look at some options. <br />Watson made a motion to continue this request to next month. <br />Haley seconded the motion. <br />The motion was passed via voice vote. <br />PUBLIC HEARING - 1245 Grant and Alteration Certificate (Continued from 9/25) <br />Watson asked for any conflicts from the board.
