Randy -
I have reviewed the above -noted sign application. The following revisions are requested to make the proposal consistent
with the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines and approved Comprehensive Sign Criteria for this shopping center.
1. Revise the sign location to match the location required by the approved Comprehensive Sign Criteria (CSC) (see
attached). Approved CSC state the following regarding sign location:
"Centered left to right over storefront. All sign bottoms to align across roof. Sign tops not to exceed top
elevation of lower slope of roof."
Note: the proposed sign location is not aligned with the sign bottoms of the other existing signs and the sign top
exceeds the top elevation of the lower slope of roof.
2. Revise the sign colors to include only those permitted by the approved Comprehensive Sign Criteria. Approved
CSC limit sign colors to the following:
White, black, green, or gold (PMS3).
3. Revise the sign drawing to indicate the sign cabinet frame color. Approved CSC require that the color be bronze.
4. Revise the sign drawing to include the following:
a. A note stating: "The sign face shall have an opaque background, only the text and graphic shall illuminate."
b. A note stating: "The level of illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination
produced by a single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon."
Please respond by email within 15 days of the date of this email indicating whether you will or will not proceed with these
revisions. Your decision to make the revisions will suspend the 60 -day review period associated with your original

Brent
