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. The level of illumination produced by the LED lights shall not exceed the level of illumination produced
by a single stroke of 30 milliamp neon.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Eryn Brennan
Senior Planner
