Sign (Wall and Ground Sign)
Submitted by William Geschke, A-Sign-Above
a) Submit additional detailed elevations depicting proposed ground and wall
sign width with dimensions and materials labeled.
b) Section V-2 (b) of the Architectural Design Standards states that 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 facade. Revise elevation to center the sign between
the window and gable vent. Verify sign does not overlap any existing trim
or other architectural features.
c) Section V-2 (a) of the Architectural Design Standards states that all signs
should be reviewed for their impact on the overall building facade.
Question overall size and square footage of proposed wall sign in relation
to the building facade.
d) Section V-4 (a)(2) of the Architectural Design Standards states that the
lettering within a sign panel should not exceed approximately 70 % of the
height and length of the sign panel. Revise proposed wall sign to better
meet this requirement.
e) Section V-3 (b)(2) of the Architectural Design Standards states that
whenever a building is located 30 feet or more from the street, its ground
sign should be placed on a solid base. Suggest removing the existing posts
and placing the sign on the existing base to meet this requirement.
f) Section V-4 (c)(3)(i) of the Architectural Design Standards states that
generally 10 items or less of information per sign are a typical amount of
information the average person can comprehend while driving. This is
based upon the principle that the more readable the type face and the
better the contrast between the letter and the background, the more
readable and comprehendible the sign. Revise overall design of ground
sign to better meet this requirement.
g) Section V-5(c)(3) states “Signs should have a matte finish, not have a
glossy or reflective finish.” Verify a matte finish.
h) Question if any ground illumination is proposed.
i) Question if additional landscaping is proposed.

Alteration (Door Replacement)
Submitted by Ashley Ressler
a) Question the appropriateness of the proposed door material. Staff notes a
metal door is proposed. Metal doors have not been an approved material
within the historic district. However, staff notes that the proposed door
replacement is located on a non-contributing, detached garage within the
Historic District. The garage was constructed in 2003, prior to the property’s
inclusion in the city’s Historic District.
