RE: ARB- 2008 -173: Calico Homes Signs
Dear Mr. Schwartz:
I have conducted an initial review of the above -noted signs. In order for the application to be approved administratively, the
following issues must be addressed.
1. Change the color of the trim caps and returns on the channel letter sign to black, as required by the Comprehensive Sign
Review (CSR) guidelines.
2. The proposed font for the signs is acceptable, but needs to be identified on the drawings.
3. Indicate on the drawing the type of illumination used in the existing cabinet of the freestanding pylon sign.
4. Add the following note on the freestanding pole sign drawing: The empty tenant panel will be opaque until it is filled.
5. Add the following note on the channel letter sign drawing: Channel letters with translucent faces shall be constructed
such that no light spills outward from the top, bottom, sides or back.
6. Since a dimensioned drawing has not been provided, add the following note on the channel letter sign drawing: The
channel letter sign will be centered vertically and horizontally in the cornice of the projecting awning above the main
entrance.
7. The existing pylon sign has a blue pole and cabinet trim. The blue color is not coordinated with the existing building or
the proposed signage. The applicant is encouraged to repaint the cabinet trim and pole sign to a color consistent with
the CSR and EC Sign guidelines. The revised color of the cabinet trim and pole should be identified on the drawing.
The application may be approved administratively if the above issues are adequately addressed. If you would prefer that the
application as submitted be reviewed by the Architectural Review Board as scheduled on February 2, 2009, please notify me in
writing by January 14, 2009.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Eryn Brennan
Senior Planner
