Possibilities for reducing the size of the parking lots must be exhausted.

A landscape plan will be required to be submitted to MPC staff prior to final approval.

SIGNAGE: Install hanging projecting double-sided wooden sign panel framed in decorative metal. The approved sign is 33" wide by 4'-6" tall and 9.33 square feet. It is to be mounted at a 45-degree-angle over the building's corner entry and hung from an existing metal signage arm which extends 4'-4". The sign is to be mounted ~14'-6" above the ground.

AWNING: The sloped awning on both sides of the building and arched above the corner entry is approved with the following modifications and conditions: 1) the awning tieback size is to be no larger than 1-and-1/2 inches in diameter (if engineering dictates the tiebacks be of a larger diameter, they must be reviewed by HZC staff for alternatives prior to issuance of a building permit); and 2) the bottom of the awning on both sides shall be mounted at a level such that it does not cover the storefront header on the Market Square facade [not including that of the transom]. The following additional conditions apply to the Wall Street-elevation: 1) the awning shall not be arched over the middle side-entrance; 2) the awning may cover only the first four bays (not the eastern-most bay; 3) the awning shall incorporate recessed panels (similar to those in the awning at 4 Market Square) to align with and be the same width as the building pilasters; and 4) the awning may have a different neutral color within the recesses.

The issuance of a building permit is conditioned on the receipt of a letter from the Industrial Development Board (as holders of the tax credits) stating their authorization of implementing the proposal.
