Items 1 and 2 on the attached letter still need be addressed. The night view detail in the sign detail for the freestanding sign is a appreciated addition but we will need clear indication of which areas of the sign are opaque and which will be illuminated, the background must be opaque. For the landscaping I will need a sketch plan showing location, with quantity, botanical names, and planting sizes. Evergreen shrubs are recommended with a minimum planting height of 18 inches.

Would you be able to provide something which shows the sign occurring at least 5' from the property line? A survey or a plat that shows this would be ideal. As you can see, our GIS aerials show the sign outside of the property line. 4 i Thanks, Jeff P.

DO NOT CLICK on links or open attachments unless you are sure the content is safe. Jeff, Regarding the monument sign: 1. The existing pole is 6" round, 8' tall. However the pole cover is 8'1" x 6" wide x 18" deep (which is being removed). Overall height of the existing sign is 12'. 2. The new signage is a total, overall, of 30sgft.

Is this the case? If so, please provide an updated sheet of the submittal packet to show this and the dimensions of the existing pole. A word of caution, if the combined total area of the sign with this structure cannot exceed 80 sq. ft, per: 4.15.12 MAXIMUM FREESTANDING SI I I SIZE; SIGN FACE; M A U Each sign shall be subject to the following, as applicable: a. Size offreestanding signs and their suppoi•f sri•rreture. The maximur standing sign and its support structure shall not exceed two and one-hal allowable sign size. As the max allowed area for the sign itself is 32 sq.ft. I think it should be alright as the pole seems to be around the same size of the existing sign, which is 44 sq.ft. It just seems curious to have a 20 sq.ft size go atop of a pole over twice its size. Let me know if I'm misunderstanding anything. Thanks, Jeff P.

Unless you have a more accurate distance, I'm going to go off of our GIS measuring tool, which shows about 177' of building frontage. This point is actually not very important as the max total allowed for wall signage maxes out at 200 sq.ft, which greatly exceeds the sign area proposed. AF at I u.` r Also, the dimensions for the wall sign was given as 24" x 19'2" (38.3 sq.ft), however, I am going to go with 43.6 sq.ft (10.6 sq.ft for the "C" portion and 33 sq.ft for the "Comfort Inn" portion) Let me know if any objection to these numbers.
