Staff Report by Sepler: neon sign has not been designed in accordance with the design guidelines, and is non-conforming, exceeding 1 square feet. Smith asked about color with Sepler confirming its being consistant with the stock OPEN signs. Committee report (Yawman/Landis): Ya\~an expressed concern over cost of signs other than stock items and Landis stated that the proportion of the sign to the opening and to th building was not distractive.
