1.      Approval of the April 21, 2004 Meeting Minutes.

Some changes were made to page 3 of 3 of the draft minutes.

 

Commissioner Lyman moved, seconded by Commissioner deGrazia, for approval of the draft April 21, 2004 meeting minutes with the noted revisions, on a voice vote, the motion was unanimously approved.

 

2.   Consideration of a Request for a Subdivision Monument Sign, Located on The Proposed Diamond Lake Road Entrance of the Indian Valley Subdivision, Submitted by Concord Homes, Inc.

      Jeff Hitz of Concord Homes provided an introduction to the project and gave some history on the monument sign and the changes to date.

 

      Commissioner Lyman asked about the details of the Route 83 signage.  Peter Di Iorio answered that the sign would be located on a base of sandblasted wood to accommodate some comments made at the Village Board meeting.

 

      Commissioner Lyman and Chairman Staub both preferred the masonry materials that were originally presented to the Village Board because the materials are of a higher quality than the other proposed wooden sign with wrought iron.

 

      Commissioner deGrazia likes the wrought iron but prefers the idea of being consistent with the proposed Route 83 sign which is proposed to be made out of masonry materials.  

 

      Commissioner Lyman moved, seconded by Commissioner Lyman, for approval of the proposed Concord Homes wall sign as submitted.  On a voice vote, the motion was unanimously approved

 

3.   Consideration of a Request for One Three Foot by Two Foot Wall Sign, Located at 207 Robert Parker Coffin Road, Submitted by Dr. Tom VanAnrooy for Northwest Chiropractic.

      The Architectural Board thought the proposed sign was acceptable in size, color and style.

 

Commissioner deGrazia moved, seconded by Commissioner Lyman, for approval of the proposed subdivision monument sign as submitted using the original masonry materials.  On a voice vote, the motion was unanimously approved.

 

 

OTHER BUSINESS

The Architectural Board reviewed the information submitted by Nationwide Product on Copper Tops and Finials for the Historic Downtown area.  The Board preferred the sample round finial that was submitted for the meeting and would prefer the use of that finial rather than the pineapple finial within the Historic Downtown.  Each merchant would not have to come before the Board for approval if the finials used were the same round type as the sample that was submitted for the Board’s review.

 

Adjournment:  Chairman Lyman moved, seconded by Commissioner deGrazia to adjourn the meeting.  On a voice vote the motion was unanimously approved.  Meeting adjourned at 7:46p.m.
