Guest, Evelyn Harker, said she would like to see something done about the signs and banners in Old Town .which she feels detracts from the 1890's theme. Meyer responded that the City is looking at a special sign ordinance for Old Town which will go before the Planning Commission in about 30 days. Evelyn questioned why the present ordinance which does not allow temporary signs is not being enforced. In response Markham describe problems of enforcement in the past. Minutes of the April 13, 1992 meeting were approved as written. Bob Lord and Costo St. John presented their plan to paint the log siding above the porch roof line on the Silver Spoon in Butterfield Square and showed chips of the colors they would like to use. Lord also presented a series of photos showing the colored trim recently painted on the buildings in the Square. While Lord and St. John indicated a need to get approval right away, Markham, after considerable Board discussion, suggested the matter be delayed until the full Board can take action and that a sample panel be painted on the rear of the building so the Board'could see how it looks. Fagan presented color chips for a new paint coat on the two story building at 28475 in the~ Temecula Creek Plaza.
