Files that she submit a revised deadline schedule. Mr. Welch
indicated that he would write a letter to Ms. Elliott recommending

to the National Register of Historic Places be by the end of the
fiscal year. Due to the delay in submitting the nomination for the
Georgetown area Ms. Elliott has asked to proceed with documenting
and surveying the remainder of Goldsboro. Once completed, she will
prepare both National Register Nominations.

Discussion was held regarding sign regulations in the Downtown
Historic Commercial District. Jay Marder, Director of Planning and
Development, was present and reported that the sign guidelines
prepared by the Historic Preservation Board were included in the
draft of the Land Development Regulations. These provisions will
be considered by the City Commission at public hearings to be held
July 13 and 27, 1992.
It was requested that the last sentence under Section E(5) in the
Sign Guidelines be changed to read as:
* If located under an awning or marquis, be located
perpendicular to the building face and centered under
that structure.
and under Section G a sentence be added to read as:
* Alternative Signage - The Historic Preservation Board
shall have the authority to review and approve proposed
signage that does not comply with these regulations.
Jerry Mills moved to approve the two changes to the Sign
Guidelines. Further discussion was held regarding a deadline for
buildings to come into compliance once the Sign Guidelines are
adopted as code or whether all existing signs would be grand -
fathered in until changes were made to the sign then they must
comply with the new code. It was recommended to leave wording as
is. Seconded by Kay Bartholomew and carried by unanimous vote.
