Subject: Flow sign proposal
Greg,
I have a few comments and questions about your Flow sign proposal:
Zoning has indicated that the number of proposed freestanding signs
exceeds the quantity limit, that the proposed freestanding sign square footage
exceeds the allowance, and that the proposed freestanding sign heights exceed
the allowance. Consequently, these signs cannot be approved.
The pylon style freestanding signs do not meet the EC Guidelines and
cannot be approved by staff. Monument style signs can be approved by staff. It
is recommended that any proposed freestanding signs be revised to a monument
style.
The drawings submitted with the ARB application do not include all of
the information that the sign checklists require. Please consult the checklists
and revise your drawings accordingly. A list of missing information follows.
This list may not be complete. Please review the checklist carefully before re-
submitting.
o The VW clip drawing does not address proposed colors, color samples,
materials, illumination type, areas of illumination, areas that are opaque, or
depth of sign.
o The Flow nameplate drawing does not indicate which portions of the sign
will illuminate. Color samples were not provided.
o The Audi cabinet drawing does not indicate which portions of the sign
are to illuminate. Not all colors have been identified on the drawing. Samples
have not been provided. Materials have not been identified.
o The PMS 447C for the directional sign is identified as dark gray. Our
Pantone color set identifies it as a dark green color. Is the number accurate?
o Staff is not likely to approve the reflective surface for the
directional sign. Revising to a non - reflective finish is recommended.
The phrase "black vinyl with white keyline" on the drawings should be
clarified.
Your drawings say "concept only ". Please double -check that the designs
you are proposing will fit within the sign bands that are available and
eliminate the "concept only" note.
What is the horizontal line above the Flow nameplate on the
architectural elevation?
Please provide a complete, updated submittal for review.
Thanks.
Margaret
