Anna,
My comments below were based on the printed drawings.The PDFs don't include the transom "black infill" error. So,
that must have just been a printing error.

Subject:Auto Zone ARB review comments
Anna,
I'm sorry for the delay in providing review comments on your Auto Zone ARB resubmittal (site plan with
revision date of 2/3/2020, architectural elevations with revision date of 9/18/2019, and floor and roof plans
dated 9/12/2018). My comments are:
1. The transom windows changes were made, but corresponding changes were not made in the floor plan
and the new transoms are rendered black in the elevations. Is the black infill a mistake?Was the floor plan
just overlooked? Please clarify and provide revised drawings accordingly.
2. The brick(wirecut 200 Velour and Pebble Beach Velour, both Carolina Ceramic Brick) and stucco colors
on the revised elevation differ from the previous submittals (Firehouse Environmental Stoneworks brick;
beige brick stucco). Please provide the updated brick samples for review.
3. Thank you for submitting sign drawings and updating the red and orange colors. Note that both wall and
freestanding signs require separate permits. Signs will not be approved with this ARB application. Though
a complete sign review has not yet been done, note that:
a. the background of the freestanding sign must be opaque,
b. the sign drawings reference the brick color/manufacturer associated with the previous architectural
submittal,
c. the building and sign brick must be coordinated.
Please provide information addressing comments 1 and 2. When staffs review of this information indicates that
all conditions of approval have been met, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be issued for the building and site
design.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks.
Margaret
