VII. Correspondence And Petitions: None VIII. Chair And Member Comments: Chair Birdman welcomed new student member, Gracia Seeley. Seeley introduced herself and expressed her interest in being involved with the Heritage Preservation Commission. Commissioner Kelly asked about neighborhood signage for the Country Club District and if they were able to have more than two signs. Staff Liaison Bodeker asked Commissioner Kelly to ask the person requesting the sign information her contact information and she would be happy to help them through the process. More than two signs would likely require a variance which is an application through the Planning Commission.
