Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />November 17, 2014 <br />Page 5 of 10 <br />the facade must be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission and City Council. <br />She then explained how the applicant is requesting to modify some of the regulated <br />elements governed by the conservation easement. She stated during the October HPC <br />meeting the HPC recommended the word "Rex" remain on the screen, but the marquee <br />can be modified. She then showed images of the proposed changes to the marquee. <br />Steve Stoneman, owner, presented. He wanted to clarify that he won't be adding "the <br />historic" in front of the words "Rex" on the screen. He passed out a second option for <br />the sign request showing only the words "Rex" on the screen in a "ghost sign" which will <br />be of wire mesh, to give more of a translucent feel. The marquee will be painted black. <br />Public Comment <br />Jean Morgan recommended placing the words "theater" behind "Rex" on the screen. <br />Commission Comments <br />Fahey stated she liked the changes presented and was fine without having "theater ". <br />She also likes how the marquee was modified. <br />Haley stated she looked to the old photos and believes the historical presence is still <br />being retained. She liked the creativity in retaining the "Rex" letters on the screen. She <br />recommended placing "Theater" under "Rex" which would further separate the new <br />restaurant from the old. <br />Echohawk appreciated his refinements based on their comments. But she was <br />concerned the wired "Rex" would be lost and not recognizable. <br />Stoneman stated he hadn't thought about that but does not believe they will be lost. <br />Watson stated he is not sold on including "Theater" but he would like to have the current <br />"Rex" font retained, whether in wire or not. He stated he believes the marquee looks <br />great. <br />Haley stated she would be willing to not include "historic ". <br />Echohawk stated she would rather retain the "Rex" font as well. <br />Haley made a motion to approve the resolution as recommended by staff, with the <br />exceptions that the applicant may make changes to the existing "Rex" sign with paint or <br />with wire. <br />Fahey seconded. <br />Motion approved unanimously by voice vote. <br />PUBLIC HEARING — 10101 Dillon Demolition Permit <br />
