necessarily ensure architectural compatibility. Therefore, in addition to the enumerated
standards, consideration shall be given to a sign's relationship to the overall appearance of
the subject property as well as the surrounding community. Compatible design, simplicity
and sign effectiveness are to be used in establishing guidelines for sign approval.
.
Section 8-2A-8(C)(5)
Sign materials and overall appearance shall compliment with the building architecture and
colors as determined by the Design Review Board.
C. DISCUSSION:
.
A master sign plan has been proposed for the existing dentist office and the new multi-tenant
professional/medical office buildings located at 125 and 151 North Stierman Way, known as
"Eagle Professional Park, November, 02". The master sign plan may not be changed unless
