Rizzo and Diersen
115 Commerce Street & 549 Milwaukee Avenue, Burlington,
WI 53105
Mr. Rizzo was present to discuss signage, lighting
and solid metal back door issues regarding his project
for the above-mentioned address.
Mr. Rizzo presented signage he was requesting to
place on the Milwaukee Avenue side of his building to
include raised lettering in color gold. Signboard made
of dibond, a very thin material. Pictures and color
renderings were presented. A Sign Application had been
submitted and approved previously.
Mr. Rizzo also presented a gooseneck light fixture in
dark bronze to illuminate the proposed sign. He stated
the previous approved lights would not function well
with the new proposed sign, nor would the mount
effectively.
The third item for discussion was the back door
previously installed without HPC appropriateness
approval. After a lengthy discussion, the Commissioners
took action on the following:
Chairman Stelling entertained a motion to recommend
approving the solid metal door, to include with plants,
either four or six panel (to be brought back by
representative), and to allow the door to be painted as
presented. Motion made by Commissioner Henny, seconded
by Commissioner Strong. There was no further discussion,
all voted aye and motion carried.
Chairman Stelling entertained a motion to recommend
approval to revise the light fixtures to RLM Classics
2LSA30 as presented in dark bronze. Motion made by
Commissioner Strong, seconded by Commissioner Henney.
There was no further discussion, all voted aye and
motion carried.
Chairman Stelling entertained a motion to recommend
approval to revise the sign to raised beveled letters,
on dibond product, to include thickened edges in colors
presented. Motion made by Commissioner Henney, seconded
by Commissioner Strong. There was no further discussion,
all voted aye and motion carried.
The Commissioners also discussed the three panels,
previously approved, which Mr. Rizzo had wanted to
discuss replacing with one linear piece. After some
discussion, the Commissioners and Mr. Rizzo came to
agreement that the previously approved three panels
would remain and the lights could be centered on the
panels.
