Recommendation
The Commission regrets that the awnings, light fixtures and exposed conduits were installed prior to review or permit. No objection to issuance of permit for proposed back-lit blade sign with letters reading "Mr. Smith's" as shown in supplemental drawings received 10 March 2015 which indicate sign no larger than 5 feet and 8 inches, lowering of first floor awning to within the masonry opening, removal of second floor awnings, and removal of light fixtures. Remove all exposed electric conduits and cables, which are not appropriate to the character of the historic building. Note: Any subsequent modifications to the approved design, including those made during DCRA technical review, must be re-submitted to the Commission for approval prior to issuance of permit.
