Summary
The Design Review Board approved a building sign and a monument sign for the Sims Lohman project on Highway 98, adding a condition that the monument base use white textured stucco to match the building.
The Walton County Design Review Board on Jan. 7 approved two sign applications for the Sims Lohman project on the north side of Highway 98 in District 4 and added a material condition for the monument base.
Tim Brown, Planning and Development, presented two related applications from Vintage Sign and Light: a building sign measuring 18.2 inches by 120 inches (15.17 square feet) and a monument sign measuring 72 inches by 102 inches (51 square feet) on a 0.69-acre site zoned Coastal Center. The staff report concluded both signs were compliant.
Applicant representative Jim Sutton brought physical samples and exterior elevations for the board to review. Board members discussed materials and finishes and several asked that the monument base be changed from a brick panel to a white textured stucco to better match the building façade. A motion to approve the building sign passed unanimously, and the monument sign was approved with the stated finish modification.
Approvals apply to the signs as presented and subject to the monument base material change. The applicant and staff will proceed with permitting consistent with the approved designs.
