Hi Brent, I have FINALLY heard back from Faith Christian Center about the landscape plan for their proposed freestanding sign. Attached are the revised drawings. The date shown in the rendering is the last date I made changes to this drawing, but would you rather I changed it to today's date? Thanks!

From: Brent Nelson <bnelson@albemarle.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2019 5:58 PM To: Beth Robinson <beth@htsva.com> Subject: RE: ARB 2019-93, Faith Christian Center, Freestanding Sign, Staff Comments Beth - Margaret asked the ARB for direction regarding your sign proposal and my Comment #1 (yellow highlight) to you. Margaret reported back the following: 3 It was the consensus of the ARB that synthetic stucco can be used for signs regardless of the material to which it is attached. However, the condition where the sign meets the ground must be addressed. 8" of a durable solid material (not EIFS) must be provided at the base unless the sign is located in a landscape bed whose design avoids potential maintenance issues of EIFS at the ground. My suggestion to you would be to revise your application to address my original comments #2, #3 and #4. We can then evaluate whether the sign location avoids the need for 8" of a durable solid material (not EIFS).

The topper and ledge detail will be fabricated in the same way as the body. There is a polystyrene core, then the polyarmor plastic coating, and last the stucco texture finish. Does this help?

Could you email me a construction detail of the sign/sign structure so we can see all the materials involved and how it is put together. Indicate what the curved topper and the gray horizontal element directly above "2186 Richmond Road" are made of.

I can confirm that I do plan to proceed with making revisions to my submittals. That being said, I am curious about item #1 below. Perhaps I am calling the material by an unfamiliar name. The proposed sign will be constructed from expanded polystyrene, coated with a hard plastic (referred to as Poly -Armor), then sprayed with a stucco finish that is 100% aggregated acrylic. There are other signs in the EC that are made from the same material. The first one that comes to mind is the monument sign at River's Edge (on Rt 20). The graphics for this sign also have the stucco texture. A new was recently installed at Pantops Shopping Center that has an EPS faux brick base. And lastly, I believe that the "Charlottesville Health & Rehabilitation Center" sign on Rio Rd is made from EPS (photos below). As there is a precedence for prior approval of this material we do not plan to make this change. Please let me know if this is something that will need to be reviewed by the board, or if an administrative review will be possible. I will reach out to the church regarding a landscaping plan for the base of the sign. I will also revise the drawing to clarify the location of each proposed color, and revise the date of the drawing accordingly. The hyperlink below did not work for me (http://cob- Ifiche03/WebLinkWA/2/doc/243427/Pagel.aspx?searchid=e929d35f-26e0-493e-ab58-dab5d0949f8f). Could you verify that the link is correct? In the meantime please don't hesitate to call or email with questions. Thanks!

From: Brent Nelson <bnelson@albemarle.org> Sent: Friday, August 9, 2019 12:01 PM To: Beth Robinson <beth@htsva.com> Subject: ARB 2019-93, Faith Christian Center, Freestanding Sign, Staff Comments Hi Beth - I have completed my review of your ARB sign application. The following revisions are requested to make this sign proposal consistent with the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines. 1. The ARB has determined that synthetic stucco is acceptable for signs if mounted on a solid such as concrete block and if limited to use as a flat surface as a background for lettering. Include a sign construction detail indicating this requirement is being adhered to. 2. Show the sign location on the approved landscape plan. Depending on the location, additional planting may be required to provide an integrated appearance with the overall approved landscape plan. 3. Revise the sign drawing to clarify the location of each proposed color. 4. Include a latest revision date on the sign drawing for these requested revisions. To assist you with the above requested revisions, the approved plans for this development (including building drawings, building materials and landscape plan) can be found HERE on-line. You will need to use the print/download as a PDF option. Please respond by email within 15 days of the date of this email 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 so we can wrap this up quickly. 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.
