The Board offered the following comments for the benefit of the applicant's next submittal. Please note that the following comments are those that have been identified at this time. Additional comments may be added or eliminated based on further review and changes to the plan. 1. Reduce the awning size to one that is traditional and revise the awning position so that it has a more traditional relationship to the window. 2. Eliminate the uplights at the canopy /trellis. 3. Clarify and coordinate the drawings regarding the use of a raceway for the Applebee's letters. If a raceway is proposed, indicate on the drawings that its color will match the color of the wall to which it is attached. 4. The apple graphic as proposed is not appropriate. A smaller graphic may be acceptable. 5. Limit the Applebee's channel letter sign to 9'8" in length. 6. Coordinate the architectural and sign drawings. 7. Confirm that the tagline sign is proposed. If it is, provide a to -scale drawing showing the tagline sign on the building, with dimensions. The sign shall not overlap or obscure architectural detail. 8.
