The applicant is requesting approval of a Development Plan and ADLS for the construction of a

located just north of the 5/3 Bank, under construction, and in front of the Super Target store.
Please see the informational packet prepared by the applicant for an overview ofthe site and
proposed building elevations. All T AC concerns have been addressed.
The following items are those that require the Department would like to see modified:
1. The Department would like to see a single color for the awnings. Perhaps green to
match the doors. We request that the applicant confirm that the wall heights will
screen all roof-top mounted equipment.
2. The applicant is proposing a total of five (5) signs, as illustrated on the plans, they
have indicated that will be reduced to three where one (1) is permitted.
a. The Department is not in favor ofthe request for a total of three signs.
b. Are the wall signs green or black? Provide greater detail of the signs. One
rendering shows green and the other black. How are they illuminated?
c. The signs proposed for the east and west elevations exceed the size limitation of
the ordinance, 60 square feet, and appear in disproportion to the rest ofthe
building. As measured by Ordinance they are 88 sq. ft. in area. Please reduce in
size to be compatible with the building proportions.
d. What are the sign faces? Exposed neon is not acceptable! This comment also
applies to the ground sign.
3. Provide cut sheet of building lighting fixtures. Which light style are you proposing.
There are several on the page provided.

have been addressed.
