Mr. Leopold stated that wasn’t part of their package. Mr. Layer then asked about the color of the returns. Mr. Leopold stated they were dark bronze. Ms. Hanley asked if the sign should be an anchor point on the center of the awning as it appeared to be a bit asymmetric. Mr. Leopold stated it appeared it was centered on the entire bank of windows and the awning over top of the door. Ms. Hanley questioned the accuracy of the dimensions of the building and wanted to ensure an installer would be able to pick the exact centerline and place the sign above the awning. Mr. Layer stated that he agreed that the sign centered above the awning as in the diagram would look best. Mr. Hanley made a motion that the request for approval of new wall sign and new tenant replacement sign panel for Banfield Pet Hospital located at 414 Maple Ave. E, Docket No. PF-05-20-BAR, be approved with the clarification that the logo is centered above the awning.
