MSKIUUV i C Ii .-N1 nW The Local Landmarks guidelines follow the rehabilitation model. The owner is proposing to install a pizza sign between the second and third floor of the north fagade. The applicant has applied to erect a 2'x4' red, green and white sign with "pizza" written in black letters. However, the drawings submitted show a 3'x6' sign. When asked about this inconsistency Mr. McHugh stated that he would speak to the sign contractor and get back with the Commission Staff. The staff has since tried to contact both Mr. McHugh and the sign contractor with no luck. As a result the staff has to go by what is on the actual application, i.e., a 2'x 4' sign. Furthermore the applicant has also failed to include information pertaining to how the sign will be lit, how it will be attached to the building and powered and how deep the sign is. Staff recommendations must be made in accordance with the guidelines set for each property and to apply them to all applications. Because of this the staff does not require any more specifications on the sign do to the fact that another sign would violate Local Landmark Guidelines, which clearly states that a business in a landmarked building is only allowed one suitable sign. The business in question already has a sign in the form of an awning, thus the staff has to recommend denial of the application.
