She stated staff added Condition#5 recommending that the conduit for the electrical service to the signs shall go through the mortar joints of the brick so that the exterior brick on the building is not damaged. The Committee Members discussed the 7100K LED illumination of the sign and felt it may be too blue and cool toned; 3000K is a warmer light and is typical for the Historic District. The Members felt 3000K is sufficient and asked if the applicant would be willing to reduce it from 7100K.
