Brentwood Town Offices should be allowed visible signage. Facade signage would be more difficult to see than a ground sign. The existing trees block a clear view of a facade or monument sign at the required setback. Additionally, the site's grade at the optimal sign location slopes east toward the parking lot adding to the visibility problems. Another factor staff has considered is the amount of boulevard along Lexington Avenue. Currently, the east side of Lexington Avenue has a boulevard from curb to property line of approximately 33 .feet. Page 1 of 2
