Susan Istenes explained that on June 18, 2018, a Sign Subdistrict Plan was approved for the entire Centene Clayton Campus. The approved plan included a tenant sign option for an interior wall graphic. The unique sign was presented as an option for first floor tenants and was not specifically designed. The interior wall graphic sign is subject to property owner approval as well as Architectural Review Board approval. The subject tenant is a fitness club and will occupy parts of the first, second and third floors along the Forsyth Boulevard frontage. The applicant is proposing a 65 square foot wall sign located in the lobby area of the Wellbridge tenant space. The sign will be constructed of medium grey and dark grey metal and will be internally illuminated. The proposed sign is located on an interior wall, but due to the size and window wall system of the building, it will be highly visible. The sign will be setback from the building wall approximately 30 feet, which will reduce the impact of the large size. The proposed colors and materials are compatible with the building. The sign has received building owner approval. Staff believes that the proposed sign will be compatible with the surrounding character and will serve as an advertising feature as well as a design feature for the tenant space. The proposed sign conforms with the Sign Subdistrict regulations. The proposed sign seems to be of high quality materials and will complement the building façades and staff recommends approval as requested.

Mr. Manssouri thanked the Board for the opportunity to present this proposal. He noted that the sign complied with Wellbridge’s other tenant spaces throughout the Country; however, this location is more focused on a corporate setting. He indicated that the lighting will have a “halo” effect. He asked if there were any questions about the proposal.

Chairman Lichtenfeld referred to additional lighting shown on Sheet 4 of the submitted plans.

Mr. Manssouri indicated that there are additional lights within the lobby that are not part of the sign package.

Richard Lintz asked about the proposed illumination.

Mr. Manssouri stated that the letters are white with overlay in black/gray metal lit to create a halo effect. He indicated that the white lighting will be changed to red for the American Heart Association and pink for the Susan B. Koman foundation. He added that there may also be seasonal color changes; however, the lighting will at most times be white.

Chairman Lichtenfeld asked staff if the lighting needs to be specific.

Susan Istenes indicated that specific colors are preferred.

Chairman Lichtenfeld noted that the colors that are allowed should be included in the motion.

Stephanie Karr suggested that in addition to the colors, she suggested a time limit be included as well.

Hearing no further questions or comments, Ron Reim made a motion to approve the signage as requested with the condition that other than the requested and allowed red and pink for the mentioned charitable events, staff be provided proposed lighting colors and that they be approved by staff prior to use. In addition, the use of any color other than white not to exceed 30 days. The motion was seconded by Brian Maguire and unanimously approved by the Board.

ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW – BANNER COLORS – 212 S MERAMEC AVENUE

Josh Goodman, HDA Architects (project architect), was in attendance at the meeting.

Susan Istenes explained that on February 5, 2018, a Sign Subdistrict Plan was approved for the subject property which included wall signs for the commercial tenant spaces, identification of the apartment use entrance and a series of banners that are permitted to display graphics. The banner colors were approved as fall colors to coordinate with the public art bicycle racks located around the building. The bicycle racks are yellow, orange, red and green. The applicant is now requesting to revise the banner color scheme. The property (zoned PUD) contains a multi-family apartment building with restaurant/retail space on the first floor. A total of 12 banners are allowed on the building. The Sign Subdistrict allows for up to five banners depicting graphics and the remaining banners will be solid colors. The applicant is proposing indigo and yellow for the banner colors. The following table outlines all signage allowed by the approved Sign Subdistrict.
