This recommendation is subject to compliance with the plans dated and received 10/9/17, Federal, State, and Village Codes, regulations, and policies, and the issuance of all required permits, and the following conditions: 

3. The Design Commission acknowledges the petitioner's right for a code compliant ground sign, but for any ground sign taller than 4-feet, the petitioner shall return to the Design Commission for review of the proposed ground sign. 

4. This review deals with architectural design only and should not be construed to be an approval of, or to have any other impact on, any other zoning and/or land use issues or decisions that stem from zoning, building, signage or any other reviews. In addition to the normal technical review, permit drawings will be reviewed for consistency with the Design Commission and any other Commission or Board approval conditions.  It is the architect/homeowner/builder’s responsibility to comply with the Design Commission approval and ensure that building permit plans comply with all zoning code, building permit and signage requirements.
