The Livingston Board of Zoning Appeals meeting on September 28, 2026, approved the August 24 minutes and held a public hearing on Matthew Hill’s variance request for the ground sign at 1034 East Main Street. The discussion focused on whether multiple hanging signs on the structure counted as separate signs under the local ordinance. The city representative requested denial to ensure consistent enforcement, while Hill cited prior guidance, investment in the sign, and increased sales. The board unanimously denied the variance; the city indicated Hill could submit a new permit application or consider alternatives.

After the vote, a member asked staff to look into a comparison with another sign that may have been treated differently. The transcript identifies no procurement, contract, or budget activity.
