<br />Mr. Hice noted that the graphic was preliminary. <br /> <br />Questions/Comments from Commission members and responses included: <br /> <br />- A question was asked about if it was the signage that was not permitted or the <br />banners. Mr. Greatens commented on allowable signage. Some signs shown <br />would not be permitted. <br />- Commission members were in agreement with plans and work as proposed <br />except for the proposed cross attachment and covering up of the original <br />masonic symbol. <br /> <br />Mr. Hice stated the graphic was preliminary and the latest drawings show that the <br />masonic symbol is not covered up. <br /> <br />Mr. Greatens asked the Commission members if the symbol could be specified in the <br />motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Wesenberg made a motion to accept the plans as submitted with the exception of <br />the banners and anything that would obscure the original masonic symbol. The motion <br />was seconded by Mr. Smith. The motion was approved unanimously. <br /> <br />3. Other business <br /> <br />a. Discussion Loop Trolley Project update <br /> <br />Mr. Tim Nittler with CH2M Hill gave a summary presentation with updated information <br />about the Loop Trolley. He stated that the design of the roundabout was similar to that <br />previously shown to the Commission, with the addition of granite curbing as <br />recommended. Additional parking was shown on the south side of Delmar Boulevard. <br />He stated that initially the Trolley had a stop in front of the Washington University Music <br />Building and the design was revised with a station stop on the south side of Delmar <br />Boulevard just west of Kingsland. He stated that the design changed again and a <br />station stop would now be directly in front of the University City Public Library. <br /> <br />Questions/Comments from Commission members and responses included: <br /> <br />- Is the new station location out of historic district? Mr. Greatens: Local historic <br />district begins at Kingsland Avenue so it is within the local historic district. <br /> <br />Mr. Nittler stated that, regarding lighting, the locations had not changed since last time <br />the Commission saw them. They were proposing to leave all pedestrian scale lighting <br />in place with the exception of the two large fixtures contained in the bollards. He stated <br />they were showing a proposed relocation of those lights to the north and south of <br />Delmar Boulevard with a note to coordinate with University City in the final location of <br />those lights. <br /> <br />Mr. Doug Campion with the Loop Trolley Company provided information about ticket <br />sales, ridership, and operational information <br /> <br />24 <br />Page of <br /> <br /> <br />
