The proposal is for a pole sign, twenty feet high, and sixty-four square feet of sign area per side. B.

She stated the sign as proposed meets the standards of the Bellevue Municipal Zoning Code. B. Boettcher stated the owner intends to install plantings at the base. T. Katers questioned the size of the base above grade. B. Boettcher indicated that it would be similar to the size of the columns on the building, approximately 12 to 15 inches. T. Katers questioned how bright the sign would be with the proposed white background. B. Boettcher stated there would be eight fluorescent bulbs within the sign cabinet so it will not be very bright. B. Kopperud stated the code does not specifically address sign brightness except under the electronic message board standards. B. Boettcher stated if the area behind the building develops there will be a chance the sign will become a multi-tenant sign.
