What this means
The Landmarks Commission allowed Camp Bar to add a decal on its front door glass, but said no other signs can go in that window unless a temporary sign permit is issued and an after-the-fact sign permit is obtained. It also approved repairs and deck replacement at the Cedarburg Art Museum and Society after hearing that rot and water damage had weakened the porch structure. The museum project will proceed once the building permit is received, and a grant from the Greater Cedarburg Foundation is helping pay for it.
