street, the additional height would make it seem like the sign is similar in height to the church, Mr. Dubowski agreed. Mr. Kearney did not think the church would be opposed to decreasing the sign height. He does not want the sign to detract from the building and the neighborhood but they need a functional sign. Mr. Gearhart thought the sign height should be decreased because it would make the historic marker look very small in comparison. Mr. O'Malley reminded the Commission to look at the structure in relation to the building and the area. He added that it would be inappropriate to approve the proposal if the LED portion is not expected to be permitted. He cautioned the Commission to not discuss changes to the design during the meeting. Mr. Schumann suggested the applicant revise the proposal to better reflect the age of the church. Ms. Lieber reviewed the sign code update schedule and said it will probably be approved by City Council in the fall. Mr. Schumann moved, seconded by Ms. Cardarelli, to table the new sign proposal for 20- 16508; North Olmsted Universalist Church at 5050 Porter Road, which was approved 8-0. COMMUNICATIONS Celebrate North Olmsted - Local History Series Ms. Lieber reported that the committee met the previous week and decided upon a weeklong series of social media posts the week in August when Homecoming would normally have been held. Because the event is cancelled, this series is an opportunity to celebrate local history. The theme will be Then and Now, and each day may have a different topic, such as transportation, residential development, schools and the Homecoming parade. Once the topics are finalized, a call will go out for photos that can be collected into albums and slide shows on the website. Butternut Ridge Pocket Park Ms. Lieber said the committee met with the selected artist last week to refine the concept and go over various options the artist had considered. City Council will be voting on the appropriations and bidding authority for the pocket park at their June 16 meeting. The legislation was amended so that no city funds can be used for the project. To date, $10,000 has been committed by individuals and community groups to cover the city cost. Certificates of Appropriateness The lighting change at the North Olmsted Branch Library was approved with the submission of a zoning -compliant photometric plan. Fixtures will be a somewhat more ornate lantern style than currently exists today. ADJOURNMENT With no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:23 pm.
