Brandess Building Sign Program Summary
April 1, 2014
Purpose of the Sign Program
The intent of this revised sign program, as amended on March 1, 2014, is to provide a
prescribed set of parameters for future signage for the tenants of Brandess Building,
wanting visibility from the North Frontage Road. Though a previous sign program was
established, there is currently no detailed record of said sign program in the records of the
Town of Vail. This update re- establishes the sign program for the Brandess Building,
bringing the building and its signage into compliance with Title 11, Sign Regulations,
Vail Town Code.
East and West Elevation Signs — Building Identification
The Building may maintain the existing building identification signs located on the
uppermost level of its east and west fagades. Said signs are internally lighted and shall
not exceed their current dimensions. Should these signs be replaced, a new building
identification sign shall comply with Chapter 11 -6, Business And Building Identification
Signs, of the Vail Town Code.

sign of six (6) square feet. Mullions that are more than twelve inches (12')
