The discussion revealed that there was other work being done on the site that has not been permitted, which would have triggered the review for the sign to the Landmarks Commission.

The request is to provide, in addition to the signage proposed;

1) original drawing of the building

2) show building elevations with proposed changes

3) show site plan with any changes to plant materials and building elements

4) provide detail on sculpture that was removed and it's significance to the industry

5) provide a complete scope of work already being undertaken and planned

6) submit a building permit application for work within scope

The committee stressed the importance of the building's architectural value to the Landmarks District and given the fact that the terra cotta sculptured medallion was removed, the replacement should be significant in materials and complimentary.

The sign proposal left the committee members feeling that the proposal was not appropriate for the building style, particularly with the materials.

The directive was for them to study the material of the proposed round sign and to potentially use more substantial material with relief. Study the font style that will compliment the building style (1950's). Letters on a raceway nor vinyl is not appropriate.

Contractor was asked to provide signage in context with the whole building frontage.

The next Landmarks Commission meeting that the project can be presented is on October 28th. This should give adequate time for the proposal to be refined.

1) Peg mount letters or increase thickness of letters.

2) Find an authentic font to the period.

3) Forward revision to committee via email.
