Brava Bar, LLC, 27 Housatonic St., Map 43 Parcel 176, new signage. Whitney Asher, owner of Brava, presented his application. His existing sign is vinyl and is in the window of his bar. For better visibility, he wishes to replace that sign with one that will hang perpendicular to the building. His proposal is for a sign made from the top and bottom of a wine barrel, sandwiched together, and hanging from a bracket which looks like a barrel rack. The sign will look like his logo, will measure 22-23 inches and will have clearance of about 7’ 10” above the sidewalk. Goose neck lighting will shine down on to the sign.
Steve Oakes, the new owner of this building, was present and endorses the proposed sign. SS made a motion to approve the sign as presented and LK seconded the motion. The Commission voted to agree
3-0.
Mr. Oakes said that he will be making major renovations to the façade and will be coming before the Commission for approval.
