Mr. Johnson reported that the Board would only grant a variance to the sign code when it involved the historic character of a building. Ms. Ruby suggested that on page six ( 6) of the Ordinance a change be made deleting the words "architectural plans" and replacing them with the phrase "plans and/or photos.
