compromise with a monogram; that the applicant will paint the "Arviso House" first and return to

to parking, the Baron's advised that they will not be violating any City Ordinances.

Review Board for the second structure

"white"

At this time, the public hearing was opened
A. Thanking staff for their efforts in working on the proposed project, Mr. Matthew Fagan,
representing the applicant, relayed the applicant's desire for the roof mounted sign to remain;
advising that although it would be prohibited in the Old Town Specific Plan, the intent would be
to create continuity, consistency, and harmony with the architectural quality as it may have
appeared in the 1900's; to further advertise, the applicant would desire the option to add signs
to the rear elevation of the second floor if necessary.
B. Providing history to the Temecula Stage Stop, Mr. Ed Dool, owner of the Temecula
Stage Stop, relayed his desire of having the option of providing signage to second floor tenants.
