RE: ARB-2017-114: Capital Tristate wall sign
Dear Adria,
I have reviewed the above-noted sign application. The following revisions are requested to make the
proposal consistent with the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines.
1. Include the standard lighting note on the drawing as internal illumination is proposed: The level of
illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a single
stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon.
2. Indicate which areas of the sign are opaque and which will are illuminated on the sign drawing.
3. Provide manufacturer cut sheets for the illuminated sign which describes illumination intensity.
Verify that the lights are non-blinking.
4. Verify on the sign drawing that the placement of the sign is at least 6” below the cornice/roof
line.
Please respond by email within 15 days of the date of this letter indicating whether you will or will not
proceed with these revisions. Your decision to make the revisions will suspend the 60-day review period
associated with your original submittal. If you choose to complete the revisions, please email the revised
drawings to me. If you choose not to proceed with these revisions, staff will be unable to approve your
application. Failure to respond to this letter shall be presumed to be a request to proceed to action on the
application without further revisions.
If you have any questions about this action, please contact me as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Heather McMahon
Senior Planner
