Are "pole wraps" an architectural feature?

[JFrost]

I am not an architecht and am asking for assistance.

Our community has a sign code that exempts "architectural features" from the area calculation of a sign. However, the definition as described in the code is very vague. A question to be answered is in the eyes of the Architect community, is, "are pole wraps an architectural feature?"

Thank you in advance for your help.

What's a pole wrap?

Do you intend to have lettering on the wrap? If so, that's not the intention of the exemption.

When a sign ordinance exempts architectural features it's simply allowing you to make your sign attractive without penalizing you.

For example, a cornice is clearly an architectural feature, but you can't have a 12" cornice withg a flat spot for text and expect it to be exempt.

If that's where you were heading, nice try, but no go.

Something that wraps a pole. Leather grip on a golf club, box beam, or a couple of axles on a Rose Bowl float. Sugar coating like the phony end grain chunks on Gehry's serpentine thingy that only fools the fools.

Sounds like freedom. handle with care.

Hey, dude, that was Art. Maybe irony, too. Handle with care.
