Importance: High
Hi Tara - As I mentioned in our phone conversation earlier today, we cannot continue to leave this ARB
application in a state of indefinite deferral. Your deferral request dates back to May 19, 2014. You will either
need to submit revised drawings addressing the issues in my email of May 6, 2014 below or request that the
application be withdrawn. If neither happens, I will have to issue a letter of administrative denial of the
application.
I would appreciate it if you could get back to me by the end of the day tomorrow, Friday.
Thanks,
Brent

Subject: ARB201400057, Ivy Properties Sign, Staff Comments
Tara - I have completed my review of your Architectural Review Board (ARB) sign application. The following
issues have been identified that would need to be adequately addressed for my administrative approval.
ARB Purview:
In our phone discussion, I had indicated that ARB review /approval may not be required due to the limited
visibility from the Route 250 West and Route 250/29 Bypass Entrance Corridors. However, I have since learned
that the ramp connecting Route 250 West /Ivy Road to the bypass is an Entrance Corridor in itself, so this
proposal will require ARB review and approval. However, it will be an administrative review with me.
ARB Review Fee:
The required $120 ARB review fee was not included with this application. The sign permit will not be released
until that fee is paid.
Sign Materials:
Revise the sign drawing to indicate the manufacturer's name and product ID for the sign structure materials
(stone). Provide samples of the material for review.
Pantone Numbers:
Revise the sign drawing to indicate the Pantone numbers for all proposed sign colors. This includes the
proposed color for the monument roof. Pantone numbers for white or black are not required.
Landscaping:
ARB General Sign Design Guidelines require a planting proposal using ground cover, shrubs and /or trees to
integrate the freestanding sign into the overall landscape development of the site. Albemarle County's
Recommended Plant List can be found at:
http:// www. albemarle .org/upload/images /forms_center /departments /Community Development /forms /applicatio
ns/ Approved _ Plant _List _04- 21- 03.pdf
Sign Location:
The proposed sign location straddles the property line and does not meet required setbacks. Revise the sign
location to meet required setbacks.
Sign Illumination:
Revise the sign drawing to include a note indicating the sign is not to be illuminated.
Miscellaneous:
Include a note on the drawing indicating what the black hooks are at the base of the sign monument.
Please contact me should you have questions regarding this email.
