Please find your CoA attached. I have approved your sign permit for ARB review and passed it on to the next reviewer. When all reviewers have approved your sign permit, you will be notified. Thanks, Heather McMahon, Senior Planner Albemarle County Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 434-296-5832 x3278 hmcmahon@albemarle.org From: tobey@tobeyspawn.com <tobey@tobeyspawn.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2019 9:38 AM To: Heather McMahon <hmcmahon@albemarle.org> Subject: RE: Tobey Bouch shared "Sign modifications.tif' with you Heather, The existing sign has been removed as of last week. Can you please look at the attached draft and confirm that it falls within the standards you outlined previously? Overall dimensions of the sign would be 25"H x 160"W. The font is Elephant and the color would be satin black on 1/2" compressed board. Thanks! Tobey Tobey M.

While that alteration meets the Zoning Ordinance language that prohibits signs extending above and below building walls, it does not address the two ARB comments I sent to you in the letter dated November 21 (attached), which are below: 1. Revise the size of the wall sign so that the entirety of all letters fall within the sign band area and provide at least 4" of clearance between the bottom of the sign band and the bottom of the letters as well as at least 4" of clearance between the top of the sign band and the top of the letters. Ensure that no letter extends above the cornice or below the wall plane. 2. Vertically center the sign in the sign band. The sign size has not been revised so that the entirety of all letters fall within the sign band area (which is the white portion of the wall space; the red flashing at the very top is coping, and not part of the sign band area) and provides at least 4" of clearance between the bottom of any portion of the sign (i.e., the bottommost is the tail of the 'y') and the bottom of the sign band area as well as 4" of clearance between the top of any portion of the sign (i.e., the uppermost are the top of the 'T' and the top of the 'b') and the top of the sign band area. This can only be achieved with further reduction of the sign size or redesign of the '*T,' 'b', and "y.' Furthermore, the sign mounting rails and the letters have not been moved so that the sign is vertically centered in the sign band area. Therefore, this revision does not meet the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines or the requested changes provided in the November 21 letter to you which is attached to this email. I cannot approve this sign application until these requests are met.

Please see the attached letter for more detail. Thanks, Heather McMahon, Senior Planner Albemarle County Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 434-296-5832 x3278 hmcmahon@albemarle.org From: Heather McMahon Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2018 9:57 AM To:'tobey@tobeyspawn.com' <tobey@tobeyspawn.com> Subject: Wall sign and ARB application Hello Tobey, I am replying to your telephone call/message from yesterday. Forgive me for not returning your call, but I thought it would be easier to direct you to the applications you will need via email rather than spell them out during a telephone conversation. For your wall sign to be approved after -the -fact, you will still need to turn in a sign application that will be reviewed both by Zoning staff for compliance with the Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 18, Section 4.15) and by ARB staff for compliance with the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines. All of these forms can be found through the County's ARB website: http://www.a1bemarie.org/dept orms.asp?department=cdsigns. Please let me know if you have further questions.
