As far as I understand it, your proposed sign is not allowed because the sign area has reached its maximum allowance and no further signage will be permitted. in which case, I'm afraid I have to deny your application for the Certificate of Appropriateness as well. Please respond to this email to confirm this statement.

Please bring the sign into our offices next week and I will evaluate the colors against the Pantone chart we have here. However, you will still need to revise the sign drawing to include the materials and the appropriate colors and resubmit it to me.

Please see actual site photo attached Heather, I did contact the sign company again and they could not give me any information regarding the color numbers, etc. So if you can't approve using the sign we already have, based on the attached photo, then we will have to have it remade to your color specifications and per your size guidelines which we hope you can give us. Bart we sized the sign that we had made up according to the space to the left of the Printing Company's sign .... if we do need to remake the sign we will use the size according to your guidelines that we didn't have when we first applied for the sign. Please let us know how we can move forward .... we are more than willing to totally meet your guidelines if you will help us with your requirements.

I took their sign colors by and compared them to the Graphtone Sign that your office approved and the colors are equivalent. So am hoping your office will approve the sign colors as proposed in our drawings. Yes, we wish to proceed with any revisions you require. I have tried to contact Bart Svoboda but have not been able to reach him to date. I'll try again today and get back with you.

Please see the attached letter for more detail. I want to reiterate that approval from the ARB — which will result in a Certificate of Appropriateness — is just one approval, and not and overall approval of the sign permit application. I encourage you to contact our Zoning staff, as it was brought to my attention that the amount of signage already on that fence may be over the allowed amount, which would preclude additional signage.

Please email or call my colleague in Zoning, Bart Svoboda, in regards to the amount of signage permitted on that fence. We will need to resolve the question of how much signage on that fence is permissible before I can continue with this ARB application review.
