1, Tree removal permit will be required prior to
removal of existing trees. If existing trees are 6-inch in
caliper or less in size, they could be transplanted,
instead of being removed. This is the appropriate time
of year to do that.
1. Need to include additional information on the
existing and proposed landscaping, including species
type, caliper size of existing and proposed trees, etc.,
refer to the attached approved landscape plan for the
property.
2. Identify the external light source for the monument
sign.
3. Per the recent amendment to the Sign Ordinance,
"all individual name plates need to be the same size,
color and font". All the fonts are in compliance, but
the top name plate is too large.
4. Please include a title block on the exhibit(s),
indicating property address, legal description,
applicant's name, contact information, date of
preparation, etc. It would also be helpful to reformat
the exhibits to either fit on a 24 x 36 sheet or two 11 x
17 exhibits (site/landscape plan on one sheet and
monument sign details on the other)
5. Have you considered other color choices for the
name plates and letters? Le. black plates with gray or
white letters?
