Thank you for clarifying that Lyndsey.
I spotted something in another photograph that I wanted to ask you about. You had mentioned painting the front door
the same color as the trim. I see in the photograph that the front door and sidelights have a stain and varnished finish on
them rather than a painted finish. I had missed that when I responded previously about it as changing colors on painted
finishes is fine. However, since the front door has an unpainted finish, the stained and varnished finish should be
restored rather than painted over on the door and sidelights. I recommend sanding or steel wooling the damaged areas
to get a clean surface and to get any loose and flaking varnish off the wood. Then stain it to match the original stain
color and for a protective coating, they make polyurethane finishes in a satin luster so that it has some sheen to it like a
varnish would, but not a high gloss as that will make the wood look like plastic. The polyurethane finish will help protect
the wood longer, and it doesn't get that old blackened gummy look that varnish gets with age.
Cheers,
Paul

That is correct. Just taking off the existing names and attaching new to the already existing wooden structure. Sorry for
any confusion!

middle part between the posts. Lyndsey, was the plan to mount your new sign to the existing white board there, or
replace that part of it? The reason I am asking questions is I want to know if changing out the center of an existing
mounted sign constitutes the need to apply and go through the approval process for signage, and so I can properly
advise other easement property owners with signs as to what procedure to follow.

Queen”. Either way, it looks great. I think since it is going to be mounted on the same posts and will be the same
dimensions as the existing signage that it is a non-issue for me. Brian, do you need an official ok from me? As for paint
colors, that is up to your personal taste from the easement perspective. I don’t know if the city has guidelines on that.

> Good afternoon, Gentleman,

> I am checking in about updating the sign at 1008 Cumberland. I have attached a couple of drafts that the designer sent
over. We plan to use the existing sign structure. These three signs will be affixed to the structure. At least that is my
understanding. That is how it was done by the previous owner. Do these proofs meet the easement guidelines? If not,
please let me know what needs to be done to be within the guidelines.
