on that side of the building and ground lights will be
hidden within the berm.
dr. Beechick said that back lihting of the letters would
not give adequate illumination because of the dark brick
background. The same problem exists with the ground sign.
Originally the sign had a dark background , but it was
changed to ,old.

The ign will be setback only 3 feet From the west
property line.
