Window sign variance

The business owner argued the angled side windows should count as part of one window area, questioned whether the black border counts as signage, and cited a similarly covered business down the street.

Speaking for the applicant, he argued the code's plain English means the windows form one area since they're divided only by window framing, and said engineers he consulted agreed.

A resident questioned the window construction and urged the board not to 'hound' a struggling small business, suggesting the ordinance itself may need clarification.
