Traditional Channel Letters and 2-inch deep dimensional letters are well outside the applicant's financial
means. The applicant's building has a large street frontage and currently does not have any signage for
her clients to identify her location other than a small panel on a detached monument.
The proposed panel sign is congruent with similar signs at the adjacent properties. The northern
neighboring property of Posey Plumbing and CrossFit at 607 S Pearson both have panel signs and the
southern neighboring property of The Flower Ranch at 901 S Pearson has multiple panel signs on their
fence.
The applicant is attempting to provide the city with signage at the requested depth of 2 inches while
being able to inform her clients regarding her location and services, similar to her adjacent neighbors.
