Hello Julia,
The banner logo was too large, so I eliminated it. The new banner dimensions are 36 inches tall by 85
inches wide. Grand Opening! Letters are 9 inches tall each.
The sign currently on the building is set inside of a metal frame. We are planning to remove the sign
insert from the frame, remove the current vinyl stickers for "Dreamsleep Mattress" and replace with
vinyl stickering as shown with design I submitted. The vinyl stickers are going to be 18 inches tall, I was
just gonna order locally from Minuteman Press. We planned on doing this ourselves, unless that's not
allowed.
I attached updated photos of the banner.
Let me know what else is required.
Regards,
Michael Melnick

Good afternoon,
I am reviewing the two applications you submitted for Flipside gaming.
For the vinyl banner - the application calls out this is 3'x10' and being hung under the front windows.
The square footage of this sign is allowable (max for a temporary banner is 32 sq ft). Therendering
does not call out the dimensions of the logo or the letters. Temporary banner signs must follow the
design guidelines of the Zoning District, therefore, the logo on the banner cannot exceed 18". Please
submit a rendering calling out the logo and letter sizes.

The wall sign seems to be zoning compliant; please have the fabricator of the sign create a rendering
calling out the dimensions so we have it in the file.
Once I receive these items, I can place you on an agenda; I am anticipating putting this on the Oct7
agenda, but will need these by Monday, Sept 28.
Thank you,
