Commission approves awning recoveries at 391 Main Street; discussion on logo placement

Applicant representative Myra Lobano presented application 33-2026 on behalf of Ruben Bello to recover existing awnings at 391 Main Street. "We're proposing to recover existing awnings, so no dimensions are being changed," Lobano said, adding the new fabric would be a slightly darker orange and that the awnings would display palm trees and the wording "dine in take out and delivery."

Commissioners raised design questions, including whether the palm‑tree logo would be symmetrical across each awning. Lobano and commissioners discussed the storefront context and confirmed that the business had merged two spaces on Main Street, affecting awning placement. "They merged the 2 spaces," a participant observed during the exchange, noting the combined storefront length.

After discussion of color, logo placement and neighboring awnings, the commission approved the awning recoveries by voice vote. The approval preserves existing dimensions and permits the change of fabric and added logo and wording as described in the application.
