Sean McCarthy asked for a translation of the sign, which was in Spanish. Mr. Cardenas stated the name on the sign meant mountains and it also stated "eat like at home" and "delicious and healthy". Sean McCarthy stated it was not necessary to have pictures of food on the sign. Krista Callaghan stated the applicant should verify the size of the letters with the Village's sign code. Mr. McCarthy suggested the name of the restaurant on the sign with restaurant/deli underneath. Brandon Miller inquired about color scheme for the sign. Mr. McCarthy stated a couple of colors are fine but they should complement the architecture and color of the building.
