Unanimously carried. GEORGE KOLB~ 3 MARKET STREET First on the agenda was a request from Mr. George Kolb seeking permission to light an already approved sign at 3 Market Street. Mr. Kolb stated there are three awnings which were approved by this Board. Because the sign is so small and where it is placed, his tenant in the building (who also resides on the second floor) would like to put three low voltage spotlights from the awning (50 watts - casting approximately 28".) Mr. Morris suggested gooseneck light coming down onto the sign. Mr. Kolb stated one of the things he would like to do is "wash" the front of the building with light - with three separate spotlights (one from each awning) which would accent the building with lights. The lights would be shining up. Mr. Kolb went on to state with the goosenecks - because of where the sign is located - they would have to put two lights directly onto the sign and he feels that is too bright. Mr. Kolb stated that the bulb is approximately 2 ~A" in diameter. Mr. Moran asked if there was anyone living on the second floor and Mr. Kolb answered - yes his tenant rents the entire building. Mr. Morris then asked if the spotlights would reach the windows of the second floor - and Mr. Kolb stated it may but did not feel this was a problem since his tenant rents the entire building - in fact he may be buying the building soon. Mr. Kolb stated if the Board had a problem with the three lights - he would just install the one by the sign - he just thought it would accent the entire building in the evening. Mr. Alexander asked if the lights were adjustable and applicant answered yes they were. Mr. Alexander stated he felt that if a new tenant takes over the space - he would have the fight to change the wattage if it is too bright. Mr_ Kolb also stated he has no problem with the Board placing a contingency on his approval stating that if they feel it is too bright - he would lower the wattage. At this point Mr. Alfonso made a motion to approve the three lights at 50 watts each contingent upon Mr. Kolb agreeing to lower the wattage if the Board thinks it is too bright and if the tenant on the second floor
