accurately reflect the proposed colors are acceptable.)
o Provide a site plan showing proposed landscaping around the sign, including botanical names and planting sizes.
o Additional submittal materials may be required if review by the Architectural Review Board is necessary. (The
applicant will be notified if this requirement applies.)

Tips for using these tables:
1. Begin by choosing one of the locations approved for signs on the Clover Lawn buildings. Each
individual table outlines the design criteria for a particular location on the buildings.
2. Once you identify an approved location, proceed to "sign type" within that table. That information
identifies the type of sign that is allowed in that particular location.
3. Then identify the corresponding size limitations.
4. Then identify the corresponding requirements for color, mounting, logos, illumination, etc.
