the following conditions:

units.
2. The applicant is encouraged to provide complete sign information on the drawings for review at this
time to avoid a future ARB sign submittal.
3. Indicate the color /finish for all fixtures in the luminaire schedule.
4. Add the following note to the plan: "Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits 3,000 or more

Please provide:

dates on each drawing and an ARB approval signature panel.
2. A memo including detailed responses indicating how each condition has been satisfied. If changes
other than those requested have been made, identify those changes in the memo also. Highlighting
the changes in the drawing with "clouding" or by other means will facilitate review and approval.
3. The attached "Revised Application Submittal" form. This form must be returned with your revisions to
