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. ARB 201400036, State Farm Sign CLOVER LAWN SIGNS #1 – First Floor SIGN LOCATION Within the porch architrave on the first floor, or above the first floor storefront cornice where no porch exists.
