The Department had the following comments:
,
e
e
The Departments preference would be for sign locations that did not interrupt
architectural futures of the building, Perhaps an area at,either side of the building
above the third story windows would better accommodate signage.
The lighting fixture information is not specific for the pole-mounted lights. The
applicant needs to specify type.
Specify color of new screen wall and metal roof.
Specify changes to ground signs. Variance approval may be required depending on
proposed changes. If change in copy to existing sign (replacement of address with
building name) no variance would be required.
The Department recommends that the Special Studies Committee approve the request after
all comments and concerns have been addressed.
Note' The item only requires approval by the Special Studies Committee.
