Community Board 2 Meeting – May 15th, 2025

B. Approval of the design and halo lighting of the individual transom sign letters and the sign and sidewalk lighting installed in the canopy; and
C. Denial of the hanging signs as being larger than usual and that they be of the same design and conform to the standard size for similar signs in the district; and
D. Denial of the flags and that any replacements be of the same shape as other flags in the district and hung from the building in the usual manner of flags or banners rather than on the edge of the marquee; and
E. Approval of translucent material for the roof of the marquee, provided that Commission staff verify that the material and method of installation are of a high quality.
