Hello Mr. Fener,
Thank you for submitting the latest revisions of the proposed sign drawings so promptly. Please find your Certificate of
Appropriateness attached. Hard copies will be posted in today's mail.
There is still an outstanding issue regarding the need to provide a Letter of Revision for the site development plan for
Shoppers World (now 29th Place)which was approved in 2012—this is a separate issue, not related to the Architectural
Review Board's review of this sign proposal. I look forward to a project manager contacting me so we can proceed with
this tangential case.
Cheers,

Wayne/Sheila,
This should address the items they asked about—there is no Orange (it was changed to Copper and they have
color samples I gave to the attorney to submit)the plant legend is added and the LED illumination note was
added to each sheet that had the LED spec.
Please resubmit and let me know if they need anything else.

Wayne,
As soon as I get the LED illumination note added I will forward.
Our latest drawing has 8 pages which is why it caught my eye when they referenced page 3 of 7 for one of the
items.

Great! I will check to see if the changes were previously submitted. I'm pretty sure we have submitted the
last changes sent. If you could send me all three so I can verify,that will be great. I was not in on this one
from the beginning.

Hi Wayne,
I just left you a voicemail message but I am following up with a more detailed email. I was out of the office all of last
week but I received your LOR yesterday morning, when I returned to my office, and I have looked at it today. There are
still some outstanding issues that need to be addressed.
1
First of all, the submittal is on 8.5x11" paper, but the scale is for 11x17" paper, so t e whole right-hand side has been
cut off. Could you please send me a digital file (via email) of the revised submission—I will print it out here.When you
send me the revised sheets in their full format,and when I review them to ensure compliance with the Design
Guidelines, I will be able to sign off on the ARB request. But that's just step 1...
Secondly, I apologize for not clearly explaining the difference between the ARB application and the LOR,which are two
separate things (step 2).A site development plan (file number SDP2012-16) was approved for the Shoppers World (now
called 29'Place) in 2012. In that file, Bohler Engineering included landscape plans with their site plan set. Because the
proposed placement of this new sign that you and your client are requesting will alter the landscaping approved in that
landscape plan, a Letter of Revision will need to be made for SDP2012-16 (not ARB2017-133). An engineer at Bohler
Engineering will need to update the approved landscape plan (sheet L3.01) and revise the landscape key(on sheet L3.06)
for the site plan set for file SDP2012-16 Shoppers World.
The engineer at Bohler who stamped the landscape drawings in 2012 was Joseph J. Plumpe. I recommend that you reach
out to Bohler Engineering in Warrenton (540.349.4500) and relay this information along with your own landscape plans
so they can see the changes you are proposing.They will need to provide me with updated site plan set sheets (again,
L3.01 and L3.06 for SDP-2012-00016)for this LOR. You've already paid the fee for the LOR, so you do not have to do that
again, but I will need revised sheets from Bohler Engineering to move forward.
Alternatively,there is a completely separate LOR underway for the McDonald's at 29th Place;the engineer responsible
for that is Lane Hargroder at Balzer and Associates. It might be easier for you to contact him and ask him whether he can
just add the landscaping alterations to his LOR if he hasn't already completed the drawings and submitted his application
for an LOR yet. His contact information is:
'Lane Hargroder'<LHargroder@balzer.cc
Please call me if you have any further questions.

Hi Sheila,
I'm having the LED note added,the other two items we on our latest drawing (revision 14B) not sure if that
was the set of drawings that was submitted.
I should have the drawing updated a little later this afternoon.

Hello Sheila,
That's unfortunate; a letter was sent in the post the same day—was that not received? If not, please let me
know what a good contact address is for you all.
We don't need revised materials within the 15 day response period, we just need to know whether you/your
client intends to respond to the requested changes and continue with the application process. Please let us
know that as soon as possible (before the end of the next week, preferably).

Heather,this is Sheila Morris,
We had an email crash and lost about 8 weeks worth of emails. I looked through my emails and your original
email was not there. I do apologize for the mishap, but it was out of our control. Is there anyway we can
extend this time I will need to forward this email on to my customer? My boss is unavailable presently to
discuss this with him.

Hello Mr. Showalter,
On December 19th, I sent a letter via the post and attached to an email (also attached to this email) that stated
the sign application for the 29th Place monument sign (ARB2017-133) was in need of revisions to meet
compliance. As the letter attached stated, we need to know within 15 days of your receipt of the letter (which
is tomorrow, January 5, 2018) whether you intend to move forward with this application. Please respond at
your earliest convenience.

Hi Mr. Showalter,
I have finished reviewing your application for a monument sign at the entrance to 29th Place on Seminole Trail
as per ARB sign guidelines, and revisions are requested in order for the application to meet compliance. Please
see the attached letter for more detail.
In addition, the owner (or you,the applicant) will need to submit an application for a Letter of Revision to the
approved landscape plan on the latest site development plan as your ARB submission proposes to change the
landscaping in that area where the new monument sign will be erected. Please update the approved
5
landscape plan (sheet L3.01) and revise the landscape key (on sheet L3.06) inS thesite plan set for SDP2012-16
Shoppers World.This will be LOR#2 to SDP2012-16, which is a Minor Amendment to a previous site
development plan. If you have further questions about this aspect of the review, which is tangential to the
ARB review, please contact myself or Megan Nedostup, whom I've CC'ed on this email to you.
Please let me know if you have further questions.
