Hal Welch made a motion to accept the request for a 30 day
extension to complete the contract for the Georgetown/ Goldsboro
Community Survey Contract. Seconded by Kevin Stubbs and carried by
unanimous vote.
The representative from New Fashion Gift and Beauty supply came
into the meeting. The Board explained to her that the application
had been conditionally approved based on the dimensions of the sign
meeting the Sign Regulations.
Review on Appropriate Sign Lettering Styles was tabled until the
May 6, 1993, meeting.
The Board reviewed and made adjustments for the 1993/94 Budget.
Mr. Olinger will work with Mr. Welch and any other member
interested within the next two weeks to compile a written
justification for requests. This descriptive support document will
be attached to the 1993/94 proposed budget.
Mr. Olinger recommended the Board consider a proposed video project
for fiscal year 1993/94, for educational purposes. The cost of a
half hour documentary on the historic areas in Sanford is
approximately $3,500 which would include editing, film work and the
narrative. The archival research will have to be done separately.
The Board concurred that this type of project would be beneficial.
A discussion was held regarding having a Signage Program, for
directional signs, included in the 1993/94 budget. Comprehensive
Signage Program would be a plan that would be continuous throughout
the entire City. Mr. Welch indicated he previously consulted the
company that did the plan for Orlando. The cost of the plan is
approximately $1500. It was determined that this program appears
to be a City wide project. It was suggested that a Task Force
composed of a person from the Historic Preservation Board, person
from the Mainstreet group and a person from the City be formed in
order to look at the options available for this type of project.
It was requested that at the. May 6, 1993, the Board discuss
forming a Task Force.
Mrs. Straehla informed the Board that The Welcome Center will open
on Monday, April 5, 1993.
Under other business the Board agreed to send a letter of
commendation from the Board to Tommy Spears for doing such a great
job in renovating his building. It was recommended the letter be
jointly signed by the Chairman and the Mayor and provide the
newspaper with a copy of the letter for a positive write up. Since
David DeVaughn did the work for Mr. Speer it was suggested he be
listed in the article. Mr. Olinger stated he would take care of
the letter of commendation. Mr. Welch recommended placing David
DeVaugh on a list as a prospective Board Member.
