RE: ARB-2029-95: Dogotopia Sign (Tax Map 45, Parcel 209)
Dear Mr. Forsyth,
We have reviewed your request for the above -noted signs and have approved the designs as illustrated in the attached
drawings with an original date of May 14, 2019 and a latest revision date of September 3, 2019. You may consider this
letter your Certificate of Appropriateness.
This approval is specifically conditioned on the following:
1. Execution of the design indicated on the final approved plans, attachments, materials, samples, and other
submittal items presented.
Please note the following:
1. Any changes in the approved design will require a new application and additional review.
2. "Opaque" means that light will not pass through the material. Consequently, the color of the background
portion of the face of the sign will not be visible when the sign is internally illuminated at night. If you have any
question about this requirement for an opaque background, do not proceed with the construction or installation
of the sign until you have spoken with County staff.
3. This ARB approval is only one approval required prior to installing a sign. An approved sign permit is also
required. Please do not proceed with the construction or installation of your sign until you have received your
signed permit. If you have questions about the status of a sign permit application, please contact the permit
intake staff at 296-5832.
4. Zoning, building, and other approvals may still be pending for your sign permit. This approval is only for the
Architectural Review Board/Entrance Corridor.
If you have any questions concerning this action, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely, ,,
