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. "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.
2. Channel letters with translucent faces shall be constructed such that no light spills outward from the top,
bottom, sides or back.
3. Signs on the south elevation of this building are not visible from the Entrance Corridor and, therefore, do
not require ARB approval.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Principal Planner
