The following issue remains to be addressed for my administrative approval. Sign Lighting — bulb type and wattage Revise the sign drawing to state that an LED bulb is proposed for the lamp fixtures, assuming that is correct. If not correct, indicate what the bulb type is. The web site for the Baselite (see page 2 of the Baselite link below) appears to indicate that LED bulb wattage is limited to 10 watts. Please correct me if I am wrong. Your sign drawing (attached) states that a 35 watt bulb is proposed. Note: Architectural Review Board Sign Guidelines require that the external illumination of a sign be with a bulb that is "white light" — versus a bulb that is a yellow /orange light like RPS bulbs. Also, the our zoning ordinance requires that the bulb be under 3,000 lumens in intensity so it is not required to meet the dark sky full cutoff requirement.

Revise the sign drawing to indicate the Pantone color number for the proposed Duranodic Bronze letter face. Approved CSC allow for Warm Gray 1 — 11. 3. Sign Lighting: a. Revise the sign drawing to include: i. A note indicating the wall signs are to be externally illuminated, assuming they are. ii. A note indicating the manufacturer and model number of the light fixture. iii. The following note: "The light fixture is to be shielded and positioned so that it illuminates only the face of the sign." iv. The location of the proposed wall light fixtures. v. The following note if LED illumination is proposed: "The level of illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon. b. Revise the lighting cutsheet provided by indicating all of the options chosen including model number, fixture finish, light source (bulb type /wattage) and mounting type; black and bronze are considered appropriate colors.
