Sign (Wall Sign)  
Submitted by Eric Kuczek  
a) Section V-2 (b) of the Architectural Design Standards state the sign and  
associated lighting fixtures should complement the architecture of the  
building on which it is placed and should be placed in an appropriate  
location on the building façade. If the building design does not clearly  
identify the appropriate placement for a sign panel, then individual letters  
are encouraged unless there is a clear location for adding panels, such as  
establishing one or more repetitive, common architectural features in  
order to create a repetitive sequence.  
b) Question the proposed location of the sign on the building. Staff notes sign  
panels have been approved for this building in the past; however, one has  
not been placed in this specific location.

screws.  
d) Section V-5(c) of the architectural design standards state “signs should  
have a matte finish, not have a glossy or reflective finish.” Staff notes a  
glossy finish.

adjacent to the proposed garage doors.  
h) Section IV-4 of the Architectural Design Standards state that large

applied in the proposed 2nd story gable to better meet this requirement.
