Their appeal does not articulate any such particularized effect. Their generalized and conclusory statements do not support a finding of aggrieved party status. If the appeal is entertained, the Board may approve, modify or disapprove the sign application at issue based on the Board’s assessment of the facts and governing ordinances. Bob Kuehn, resident of 7752 Davis Drive, attorney representing Ms. Bauer and Mr. Goldstein, addressed the Board with a PowerPoint presentation (attached). Mr. Kuehn stated that the approved signage was not compatible with the image of Clayton and feels that the size of the signage including the monument base violates the City’s sign ordinance. He said that the Planning Department and ARB took a narrow view of its requirements and does not have the authority to rewrite the ordinance and authorize the sign to exceed 25 square feet. He brought up the issue of the “rules of standing” and felt that the Board was making an effort to hear the “right” person instead of “merely observers”. Alderman Garnholz moved that the Board proceed to consider the appeal and allow appellants and the representatives of Central Presbyterian Church to present evidence regarding their positions as to the sign permit in question. Alderman Winings seconded. The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote. Mr. Kuehn continued with his presentation showing the Board examples of other signage throughout the City. He pointed out that the much larger 25 square foot sign will bring more people or members to their streets.

Kuehn continued with his presentation showing the Board examples of other signage throughout the City. He pointed out that the much larger 25 square foot sign will bring more people or members to their streets. He is urging the Board to accept the appeal and withdraw the Plan Commission/ARB decision. Tim Page, Executive Administrator, Central Presbyterian Church, and Tom Avery, Attorney representative, addressed the Board presenting a PowerPoint presentation. The presentation reflected a change in the signage. (attached)

In response to the Board’s questions, Mr. Page explained that the new design reflects a reduction of three to four feet in size; the signage will only carry the name and not list the current events and attractions. The signage is replacing the current outdated sign to which he believes the old sign is almost the same size as the new signage. Alderman Garnholz moved that the Board approve a modification to the sign permit application. Alderman Winings seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote of 6-ayes; 1 – nay (Alderman Boulton).
