RE: ARB-2020-65: Wawa Signs
Dear Matt,
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. The sign area is broken up by an aluminum trim piece that helps reduce the perceived scale of
sign area. However, the height of the base visually overwhelms the sign. Revise the sign design
so that the base does not overwhelm the sign.
2. The fuel panel area has a cramped, overcrowded appearance because there is no clear space above
or below the gas price signs. Revise the sign design to increase the spacing surrounding the gas
price panels to alleviate the overcrowded appearance.
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.
