Questions and Comments concerning potential/future projects.
Frank Zampano of Zumpano's Ristorante & Pizzeria of 180 East Chestnut Street, Burlington, WI had submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness and Sign Permit Application, both of which were for idea recommendations and not approval.

The first request was for placing a window in the corner of the building, with the hopes of adding additional windows as their budget allowed. A Sign Permit Application presented, with color renderings, detailed a two dimensional sign with their logo.

The Commissioners discussed the window placement and the sign and felt that Mr. Zampano should come before the HPC Committee on the Agenda once they have details from Dennis Spankowski for the sign, and at that time could also present the drawings for the window placement for approval.

The colors presented for the building were Roy Croft Red and Bungle House Grey, both of which were HPC appropriate colors. Acting Chairman Stone entertained a motion to approve the colors for the building. Motion was made by Commissioner Kott to recommend approval of the color choices for the building as presented. Seconded by Commissioner Whittow. There was no further discussion, all voted aye and the motion carried.

There being no further items for discussion, Acting Chairman Stone entertained a motion for adjournment. Commissioner Kott motioned for adjournment, seconded by Commissioner Henney. All voted aye and Acting Chairman Stone adjourned the meeting at 7:02 p.m.

Minutes respectfully submitted by:
