RE: ARB-2020-75: Pantops Corner Bundle — Sign (TMP 0780055AD30200)
Dear Ms. Schlein,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on Monday August 17, 2020,
completed a review of the above -noted request. The Board took the following actions.
Regarding the Special Use Permit/Rezoning, the Board, by a vote of 4:0, forwarded the following
recommendation to the Board of Zoning Appeals:
Because the sign elements derived from the bundle sign provision do not impose
negative visual impacts on the sign design, the ARB has no objection to the proposed
bundle sign, with the modifications outlined in the staff report.
Regarding the sign design and the Certificate of Appropriateness, the Board, by a vote of 4:0,
approved the Certificate of Appropriateness with the conditions listed in the staff report,
amended as follows, and pending approval of the Special Use Permit by the BZA:
1. Correct the illustration of the masonry on the sign base to reflect red brick to match the
Wawa building.
2. Indicate on the drawing the specific colors of the Storage Sense letters. Show that the
red matches the Wawa letters.
3. Provide on the drawings Pantone equivalents for the red and green gas price colors.
4. Consider flush mounted signs for all tenant panels. It is preferred that the depth of the
channel letters should not exceed the depth of the moldings.
5. Revise the sign drawings to eliminate the note stating, "translucent sign panels regular,
diesel illuminate from behind."
6. Revise the plan to show sign and landscape locations coordinated with street tree
planting on Pantops Corner Way.
7. Consider the street trees, the sign, and the landscaping at the base of the sign as a
coordinated whole for an appropriate, unified appearance. Revise the landscaping
accordingly.
Revised drawings addressing the comments listed above are required. Include updated revision
dates on each drawing. Please provide a memo including detailed responses indicating how
each comment has been addressed. If changes other than those requested have been made,
identify those changes in the memo also. Highlighting the changes in the drawing with "clouding"
or by other means will facilitate review and approval. Include the attached Resubmittal Form for
proper tracking.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
