6 <br /> Mr. Huja asked if the BAR gets requests from other businesses for a LCD screen <br />will they approve them. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wolf said that perhaps the guidelines should be revisited. <br /> <br /> Mr. Huja said he understands the desire to have a sign, and said he does not object <br />to it facing the mall. He said he is concerned about setting a precedent to allow LCD <br />screens which is not allowed by the sign ordinance the way he reads it. He said it is an <br />internally lighted sign. He said he is also concerned about promoting things such as beer <br />on the sign. <br /> <br /> Mr. Taliaferro said he favored the sign the way it was originally presented, and <br />supports the appeal. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Ms. Edwards, Mr. Hutto said there is no restriction <br />within the lease about putting up temporary signs. He said the video terminal is the <br />industry standard. He said he thinks he could insert a LCD screen legally and take it out <br />when there are no events. He said he thought that the screen could be used to promote <br />other events, but he came back with the compromise of the cover. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said this is a complicated issue. He said he does not think this is <br />something the sign ordinance anticipated in that the Pavilion is not a structure and the <br />LCD screen is new technology. He agreed with Mr. Taliaferro and said there is <br />something to be said for having a visible sign. He said he thinks this is an exception <br />because there is no building or window. He said he is reluctant to overturn the BAR, but <br />supports the appeal. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris said he is sympathetic to the Pavilion wanting a sign to face the mall. <br />He noted that it will be blocked by the box office. He said they can legally wheel out <br />screens now for each performance. He said he is troubled by the concern about <br />commercialization of the public space and advertising beer. He said it would be fine with <br />him to advertise upcoming events. He said he is included to support the appeal. <br /> <br /> Ms. Edwards said she is struggling with this issue. She said this would help the <br />first time visitor to the Pavilion. She said she is concerned about the size of the sign and <br />adhering to the ordinance. <br /> <br /> Mr. Huja said the lease may be contrary to the sign ordinance. He said <br />advertising beer bothers him. He said he does not object to the sign facing the mall, but <br />he will vote against the appeal. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris asked if the images could be restricted to non commercial <br />announcements. <br /> <br /> Ms. Davies said if there is concern about creating a public forum on public <br />property Council can defer that question. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris asked if Mr. Hutto is willing to volunteer to have no commercial <br />images on the screen. <br /> <br /> Mr. Hutto said he would need advice before answering that question. He noted <br />that advertising upcoming events is commercial. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said he is inclined to approve the appeal, though he said there is value <br />in looking at the lease. He said he would find it difficult to restrict content. He said it <br />would be visible only during Pavilion events to people who have purchased tickets. He <br />said he is prepared to move forward with the vote. <br /> <br /> Ms. Edwards asked that given the time frame are temporary signs an unreasonable <br />option. <br /> <br /> <br />
