WALL MOUNTED SIGN (EAST ELEVATION). For attached awning or canopy signs, the building facade area shall be the width of the awning or canopy itself times the height of the building (UDO Section 9.080.B.4). In other words, only the 25' width of the canopy can be used to calculate the allowable 10% of wall sign, not the entire 124'-4" width of the building. By my calculation, the 10% signable canopy area shall be based on 543.75 sq. ft. (25' canopy width x 21'-9" canopy height) of the canopy facade. As a result, canopy-mounted signage is limited to 54.38 sq. ft. Revise the application accordingly.

MONUMENT SIGN. There is a platted 40'-wide utility easement along the eastern bondary of the subject property. Said easement is not shown on the site plan that was provided with the sign permit application--only the platted 20' platted building setback line is shown on the plan. It appears that the proposed monument sign location may encroach into 40' utility easement. Structures such as monument signs are not allowed to encroach into a utility easement. Show the 40' U/E on the site plan and ensure that the monument sign is not located within the easement.

CANOPY COLUMNS. The decorative letter blocks and number blocks proposed to be used on the canopy columns do not include any advertisement, corporate logos, lists services, etc., and as such are considered to be an art/architectural embellishment. No sign permit shall be required for said embellishment since they aren't considered signs.

Misc

SIGN ILLUMINATION. The monument sign detail appears to indicate that the only illumination of said sign will be done via an exterior, ground-mounted floodlight to be installed near the base of the sign. It does not appear that any internal illumination of the sign is proposed. Please confirm that this is the case.
