I have reviewed your revised submittal for the above - referenced application. You may consider this letter
your Certificate of Appropriateness for the Dairy Queen wall signs described below.

WALL SIGN — RESTAURANT
Type: Cabinet with embossed face
Quantity: 1
Locations: Centered below the "DQ" cabinet, aligned with the metal band, on the west elevation
Materials: Aluminum, polycarbonate
Sign size: 8'5" tall x 2'1" long
Text: "Restaurant"
Colors: Black (3630 -22) background, White (3630 -20) letters, orange (PMS 1375) border, brushed
aluminum cabinet

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: "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. It appears that the opaque backing of the DQ sign on the north wall has
separated from the sign face, resulting in a portion of the sign background not being opaque. This must be
resolved. The entire background of each sign must be fully opaque.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Principal Planner
