Lexington Avenue and there is no driveway access to the property off of this street, it is reasonable to have both signs located on County Road E where the primary entrances are. Wall Signage 1201 County Road Sign District 4 E (Permitted) (Proposed) Max Total Area (Includes E Street Flats building 200 SF 325.5 SF and 3 retail tenants) Max Height None - Properties in Sign District 4 are permitted a total of 50 square feet of wall signage. In multi- tenant buildings or sites, the permitted sign area may be installed by each individual business establishment that has some exclusive use of the primary level of the building. The applicant is proposing a wall sign measuring 25 feet by 3.5 feet, or 87.5 square feet, for the largest retail bay. This request is justified given that the tenant will occupy 114 feet of frontage. All other wall signage for the E Street Shoppes building meets the Sign Code requirements. Wall signs are proposed for the E Street Flats building as well. One sign would be located on the south building wall facing County Road E and measure 10 feet wide by 5 feet tall, or a total area of 50 square feet. The second sign would be installed on the east building wall facing Lexington Avenue and measure 18 feet wide by 3 feet tall, or an area of 54 square feet. The request for additional wall signage for the E Street Flats building is reasonable because the size of the building and the large setbacks from the public streets make signage difficult to see. The building is setback approximately 360 feet from Lexington Avenue and 70 feet from County Road E. The proposed wall signs would cover approximately 2 percent of the east building façade and 0.4 percent of the south building façade.
