The current signage is approximately 20 years old. It is extremely weather worn and the old logos do not reflect our current corporate brand. The signage will be of higher quality materials, will complement the properties and will display DD&F's current corporate logo. The style of the signs themselves will preserve the historic elements of the old signs with a fresh and updated look that will make the DD&F offices more visible for clients and guests visiting our offices. Attached to the Application are the legal descriptions for each property, detailed drawings of the new signs stating materials and construction features for the signs, and the surveys showing where the signs will be placed. The signs will be placed in basically the same locations as the existing signs; making sure they are within the appropriate footage from the property line and other code requirements. The sign for the 521 Rock Street location will need to be a bit taller than the current sign. This is due to the increasing number of cars parked on 6th and Rock Streets that block visibility. The new sign at 601 Rock Street will be at the corner of 6th and Rock and located so it can be seen by visitors coming down Rock Street and/or 6th Street. It will be well within the property lines. DD&F Building LLC and DD&F Building 2 LLC are limited liability corporations established by the stockholders of DD&F Consulting Group in order to invest in office properties for the benefit of DD&F Consulting Group. Once properties are purchased by DD&F Building LLC or DD&F Building 2 LLC, they are leased to DD&F Consulting Group.
