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 an amendment to the application
and must be reviewed and approved by the Architectural Review Board.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
1. This approval does not include any window signs. If window signs are proposed, a separate application must be
made, reviewed and approved by the Architectural Review Board.
2. Please note that "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.
3. Please note that exposed neon is not approved.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Principal Planner
