Dear Stacy,
I reached out thisast mid-December,regarding the former store signage and some general
vandalism at the site. You were kind enough to communicate back on the 14th of December as
to notifying your sign vendor to remove bulbs left within the existing sign frames. This has not
yet occurred.
While the bulbs do need to be removed,the requirements of City Ordinance 401.15.G.15.c. do
also need to be addressed.
• Wall signs within cabinets do require a blank panel to be inserted to the cabinet. The
panel should be black. This applies to message boards as well. Alternately the wall
cabinet(s) could be removed, with any needed patching of the facade taken care of at that
time.
Additionally,as noted earlier light vandalism has occurred at the site; primarily to the wall pack
lighting at the east side of the building. Some of these lights have been tugged down. The
mailbox and planters have been used for trash disposal and should be kept clear or removed.
Kindly remove the existing sign frames from the building and repair the facade as appropriate or
remove the bulbs from the sign frames and have black panels inserted to all of them no later than
February 22, 2016.
Also, please have the site monitored for ongoing maintenance to the exterior and the parking
area.
Your prompt attention is requested. Please contact me with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Hultman
