The Applicant is requesting to increase both the total sign area and the sign copy area to add <br /> additional site details to the signs. The signs would provide directions to the numerous buildings <br /> onsite, employee parking and delivery areas. The signs are designed to complement the <br /> architecture of the new office building and are constructed of steel and aluminum. The proposed <br /> signs are not illuminated and as a condition of approval any future illumination of the signs shall <br /> be external and approved by planning staff. <br /> The Applicant is also requesting to replace the existing monument signs located along County <br /> Road F West at Innovation Way and at their existing eastern access along Lexington Avenue <br /> North. As previously stated the subject property is located in Sign District 6,where each property <br /> is allowed one freestanding monument sign measuring up to 45 square feet in area not to exceed <br /> 12 feet in height. For properties that front more than one public street, an additional freestanding <br /> sign may be permitted for each street front provided that each additional freestanding sign area <br /> does not exceed half the size of the maximum sign area allowed for a freestanding sign area in the <br /> underlying sign district or 22.5 square feet. <br /> Existing Freestanding Monument Proposed Freestanding Monument <br /> @ LAND MAKES,MC.
