This amendment does not guarantee a common area sign placement nor does it indicate that the Design Review Board supports off premise signs. The addition of this language relates only to the uniqueness of this application. Rules #17 should read as follows: Perimeter pad site monument signs will be permitted along Eagle Road and the Highway 44, those signs must adhere to the materials and the design elements of the attached designs. Signs may be permitted on the north side of the walkway on Highway 44 where they conflict with perimeter landscaping installed as part of this development.

Rules #19 should read as follows: All monument and non-internally illuminated signs of individual letters must be of at least 1 inch thickness and can be mounted flush to the surface which they are attached. The flush mounting would prohibit excessive drilling through the granite facing of the monument sign therefore requiring less repair to the sign face and type needed to be changed. Site specific condition #12 should be revised as follows: Interior illumination is not permitted for monument signs unless said illumination is of a design considered as halo lighting. The Design Review Board reviewed and acknowledged examples of halo lit signs and supports the use of this lighting for this development. This would include any loop monument signs that are proposed by the developer at the time of individual tenant confirmation.
