This approval is predicated on the fact that the design and materials, as proposed and listed above, will be used. The acceptance of approval implies that the applicant has agreed to execute the design as indicated on the submittal items presented, and as listed above. Any changes in the approved sign or materials will require a new application and additional review. PLEASE NOTE: A CHECKED BOX MEANS THESE CONDITIONS APPLY TO YOUR SIGN APPROVAL X “Opaque” means that light will not pass through the material. Consequently, the color of the background portion of the face of the sign will not be visible when the sign is internally illuminated at night. If you have any question about this requirement for an opaque background, do not proceed with the construction or installation of the sign until you have spoken with County staff. X Three tenant panels are included with this approval, permitted background colors for the other three tenant panels, yet to be approved, include Red PMS 1797C, Green PMS 330C and Brown PMS 4705C (all with white text). If you have any questions concerning this action, call Brent Nelson at 434-296-5832 x 3438.
