ITEM #3
INFORMATION REGARDING SIGNS AT BLUE MOUNTAIN COFFEE HOUSE
22488 BARTON ROAD, SUITE 106, GRAND TERRACE, CA
Director Materassi said she would like the Planning Commission to confirm her proposed action
regarding the newest sign on the east facing wall. She proposed issuing a permit for the new sign
under the umbrella of the Planning Commission's previous approval, indicating the style of signs
she has are consistent with the Barton Road Specific Plan. If the Planning Commission is not in
agreement the Director's proposal it would be necessary for the business owner appear before the
Planning Commission to get approval.
Commissioner Huss said the new sign looks good and is consistent with the other signs present at
the business, but she specifically stated she did not appreciate the method she used to get the
approvals.
Chairman Sims said he remembered specifically suggesting at Planning Commission Meeting of
September 19, 1996, to Ms. Leogrande that she meet with the Planning Department before installing
any new signs.
Commissioner Ellis said he would like to hear Ms. Leogrande's response as to why she put up the
new sign without the proper approval and permits. He said he would like the Commission to be able
to explain how it feels about her approach to this process.
Director said the sign permit fee is $50 and reviewed the entire process involved in code
enforcement. To avoid code enforcement action Ms. Leogrande must file a sign permit application
within two weeks of the letter Director proposes to send
