b. Sign Placement <br />The wall sign is proposed for the east wall facing the Outdoor Plaza. See page 5, Attachment A for <br />location on the wall. The letters are 9 inches high, which can be read from at least 300 feet. <br />The monument sign is shown straddling the property line and parallel to the street. The edge of the <br />right of way is approximately 20 feet from the edge of the curb. A monument sign that is <br />perpendicular to the traveler is more readable for motorists but must be setback a minimum of five <br />feet, which would set the sign back 30 feet from the edge of the vehicle travel lane. <br />The building's address is not shown on the sign or the building but is required by the Sign Code to be <br />placed on the monument sign (Permanent Free - Standing signage in Commercial /Industrial Zones <br />TMC 19.20.040.) <br />c. Sign Design <br />The monument sign is placed in a bed with ground cover and surrounded by evergreen <br />rhododendrons, which at maturity for this low growing evergreen can be three feet in width and 4 feet <br />in height. <br />B.
