RE: ARB 201400093, Brown Subaru Signs
TMP 045000000068D4
Dear Ms. Mahone,
Due to your lack of response to my comments of August 5, 2014, it appears that you are unwilling to revise
the above -noted sign proposal to satisfy the Entrance Corridor Sign Guideline as indicated below. As a
result, I am unable to administratively approve this proposal.
1. Sign Guideline: 9b, Wall Signs, Channel lettering (mounted on a raceway or individual letters) is
preferred to cabinet signs because cabinet signs tend to appear less integrated with the building.
Channel letters overlay the wall material and allow the building to "read through " with less
interruption. This results in a more coordinated overall appearance.
Staff comment: Revise the sign drawing by removing the panels shown behind the channel letters.
You may appeal this decision to the Architectural Review Board. To do so, you must submit a request in
writing to the Director of Planning within 10 days of the date of this letter, using the address in the letterhead
and referencing the ARB file number above.
Sincerely,
Brent W. Nelson
Planner
