The applicant seeks approval for a new wall signage a building entry element. The site is located at 9896 N.
Michigan Rd and is zoned I -1 /Industrial within the Michigan Rd Overlay Zone. Filed by George Small, AIA, of
Design Point Inc.
The Petitioner seeks approval for a new exterior building entry element and new signage. The existing Ed
Martin name and Buick and GMC logos (wall signs) will be removed. The will be replaced with the words Ed
Martin, Buick and GMC. These signs will be installed on the new building entry element. Staff understands that
the tan brick and cornice features of the building will not be changed to white as shown in the graphic
rendering. Petitioner should verify this. The black band and the silver entry are the only changes to the
building.
Petitioner, please address the following outstanding comments:
1. Please provide more information on the materials this entry feature is made out of.
2. Please state whether or not you will be painting the entire front of the building.

We are concerned the modern style of the entry feature does not blend well with the classic architecture
and detailing of the building.

materials.
