70-72 DUNLOP STREET EAST SIGN INSTALL - AMENDED APPLICATION TO AMEND APPLICATION TO ALTER DESIGNATED HERITAGE BUILDING
Councillor, C. Riepma provided a brief overview regarding the application to install a sign on a designated heritage building at 70 and 72 Dunlop Street East. Councillor Riepma advised that the applicant had decided to make a change to the sign already approved by Council for 70 and 72 Dunlop Street East and has submitted an amended application to alter the Heritage Designation for approval.
Sean Mills from Signs n Display described the difference between the approved sign and proposed changes to the signage for 70 and 72 Dunlop Street East. He explained that the proposed design of the sign would include a black background with white lettering, be larger in size and backlit.
Mr. Mills discussed that a permanent rail would then be attached to the building at 70-72 Dunlop Street East and then signage affixed to the rail so that the sign can be removed and replaced easily. He provided an overview of the drawings related to the design sign for 70-72 Dunlop Street East.
Mr. Mills noted that this design proposal gives the capability to preserve the historical building instead of drilling more holes into the building when installing or replacing signage particularly if there happens to be a change in occupancy. Mr. Mills commented that the proposed signage was designed in keeping with the heritage guidelines and the Ontario Heritage Act.
