Hi Khris,
AKT is planning to open in January so they can't wait for approval of the purple illumination. They have
opted to change the halo illumination color to white. Attached is the updated rendering with the
changes requested. Let me know if you need any additional info.
Thanks!

Hi Khris,
Thank you for checking with the ARB chair. I wrote the CSP for this center, and did not include any
language that would prohibit other colors of illumination. Nonetheless, I will forward your note along to
my client to see how they wish to proceed. I believe their feeling is that the purple halo illumination is
what makes the letters interesting. Without that, they're just white channel letters. I'll be in touch
with their wishes shortly.
Thanks!

Hi Beth,
I checked with the chair of the architectural review board to gauge his interpretation of the approved
comprehensive sign plan and the requested revisions mirror his interpretation. If the client does not
want to make the requested revisions, we will have to deny the application, then you can appeal the
decision if you chose. We are juggling the upcoming schedules the soonest available meeting will be
either December 16t" or January 6t". If we go the denial/appeal route do not forget that temporary signs
are available, and the sign on the parking lot side of the building does not require ARB approval. (We will
check with Zoning on how to approve just one of the three signs.)
Thanks,

Hi Khristopher,
Thank you for your email. I don't see in the CSP for Riverside where illumination color is addressed. All
it says is that illumination shall be non -blinking. My client is pretty attached to the purple halo effect,
it's also a standard for their brand. What are my options for having this reviewed by the board?
Thanks,

Hello Beth,
I have received and reviewed the application for the AKT Wall and Canopy signs for The Shops at
Riverside. The application will need to be revised according to the Comprehensive Sign Plan for the
shopping center as detailed in the attached letter. Please revised the elevation drawings to show these
revisions and resubmit.
Thank you,
