All seven chalk board signs will be removed, and Mr. Romp would like to replace them with three lighted changeable letter signs on the side of the building and add two rows of changeable letter signs on the bottom of the sign in front. He noted these changeable signs will be used to display specials. Mr. Gomersall questioned if any of the building signs will have changeable copy. Mr. Romp confirmed they will be changeable copy.

Mr. Miller noted there aie tag board signs along the wooden fence. Mr. Romp agreed to remove them if this proposal is approved. The members will include the removal of these signs in the motion. Chairman Gomersall verified presently the Danny Boy sign in the front does not have any changeable copy. Mr. Miller requested that the Amish Friend sign be removed as it is clutter, which is something this board is trying to avoid. He added the treatment guide can be removed as a simple handout should be sufficient. Mr. Romp agreed to adhere to this request.
