ZVFK - #11 Old Town Square, Suite 200 Applicant - ZVFK Architect/Planners Request - Exterior and interior window signage Hermie Lapoint, representing the applicant, spoke briefly about the proposed signage. She stated the sign proposed for either side of the door will be made of brass and bolted into the wall. She added the bolts will protrude slightly and will be made of brass. She stated that above the doors, on the transom, the Old Town logo with ZVFK's suite number is proposed to be there. She further stated that directly above the door, in the second floor window, "ZVFK Architects/Planners" and the old town logo would be placed. The purpose of having the suite number on the transom sign and on the second story window is to indicate the location of ZVFK's office. Wayne questioned if the stone would have to be chipped away to attach the plaque. Hermie replied that there would be no grinding of the stone, that the plaque would be bolted to the wall. She added that this sign would be more dimensional than flush with the building. Wayne stated his concern about having holes drilled into the building. Dick questioned the number of holes needed to anchor this sign to the wall. Hermine replied that it would be no more than two per sign. Carol questioned the use of mortar to attach the sign. Hermine stated that the stone is higher than the sign therefore, mortar can not be used. Wayne asked what would happen to the sign and the holes if ZVFK left this location. Hermie stated that there is an agreement that any tenant that leaves the premises must fill in any holes to the exterior of the building, etc. She added that the best location for the brass signs is at the proposed location because it is at eye level and there it good color contrast with the building. Wayne stated that historically, the placement of the brass signs is correct but he needs assurance that the holes will be repaired if ZVFK leaves. He added that he liked the idea as long as the stone is not chipped LPC Minutes of 3/20 • Page 3 away.
