Home My WebLink AboutARB200800068 Review Comments Miscellaneous Submittal 2009-02-24�� OF ALg �'JRGINZ� COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road, North Wing Charlottesville, Virginia 22902 -4596 February 24, 2009 Farid Faizy FRF Graphics 1452 Ashland Drive Charlottesville, Virginia 22911 RE: ARB- 2008 -68: ZamZam Kabob Sign Tax Map 61, Parcel 123G Dear Mr. Faizy: I have reviewed your resubmittal for the above - referenced project received December 30, 2008. Outstanding issues that will need to be further addressed are shown in italics after the original comment from the Staff Comment Letter of October 15, 2008. Sign drawings of the multi- tenant, freestanding sign were not included with this latest submission. Sign drawings of the 2 side panel signs at the business entrance were not included with this submission. I am referring to the side panels that are a part of the 3 -panel sign at the business entrance. The sign drawing, included in this submission, for the panel sign at the business entrance states that it is non - illuminated; however, there are existing lights on the sign structure. Revise the sign drawings for the 3 -panel sign at the business entrance and the panel sign in the multi- tenant, freestanding sign to correspond with all the design details in the installed signs, including text, colors, graphics, and lighting. Comments: In this latest resubmission, the sign drawings for the left and right sign panels at the building entrance show a "kabob" graphic between the 2 lines of text. The kabob graphic was not on the existing right and left side panels reviewed and approved by the ARB on June 16, 2008. Recommendations: Revise the sign drawings for the left and right sign panels, at the building entrance, by removing the "kabob" graphic. 2. Sign drawings of the multi- tenant, freestanding sign were not included with this latest submission. Provide a sign drawing of the panel sign in the multi- tenant, freestanding sign reflecting the PMS colors used on that installed sign. The sign drawing of the middle panel in the 3 -panel sign, included with this submission, states that the colors are vinyl Oracal 651 Standard Green and Red. These are not PMS colors. Black is also used on the sign but is not referenced on the drawing. If a PMS number is not available for the green and red vinyl colors, then provide a sample of each. Black does not have PMS color number and can simply be referenced as "Black Text" on the drawing. Comments: In this latest submission, sign drawings for the 3 -panel sign and the tenant panel sign do not list the proposed colors with their PMS numbers. Vinyl Oracal 651 Standard Green and Red are not PMS colors. Black and white do not have PMS color numbers and can simply be referenced as "Black" and "White" on the drawing. Recommendations: Revise all sign drawings to list all of the proposed sign colors and their PMS color numbers. Since black and white colors do not have PMS numbers, they can simply be listed as "Black" and "White". Sign drawings of the multi- tenant, freestanding sign were not included with this latest submission. The sign drawing, included in this submission, for the panel sign at the business entrance states that it is non - illuminated; however, there are existing lights on the sign structure. Revise the sign drawings to indicate that the multi- tenant, freestanding sign will remain unlit. Provide lighting cutsheets of the existing sign lighting on the canopy at the business entrance and indicate all options chosen. All external lighting in excess of the 3,000 lumens threshold shall be a full cut off style fixture. Revise the sign drawings to indicate that the lighting shall be shielded so that it illuminates only the face of the sign and does not shine beyond the edge of the sign. Comments: In this latest submission, the sign drawings do not address lighting. The existing 3-panel sign at the business entrance has existing lights on the sign structure; however, this is not noted on the sign drawing. The sign drawing for the 12" x 96" tenant panel sign does not state that the freestanding sign will remain unlit. Recommendations: Concerning the 12 " x 96" tenant panel sign: Revise the sign drawing for the 12 " x 96" tenant panel sign to include the following note: "The multi - tenant, freestanding sign will remain unlit. " Concerning the he 3 -panel sign at the building entrance: Revise the sign drawing for the 3-panel sign at the building entrance to include the following note: "The existing 3 -panel sign is externally illuminated by lights mounted on the sign canopy structure. These lights shall be shielded so they illuminate only the face of the sign and do not shine beyond the edge of the sign. " With your next submission, provide lighting cutsheets of the existing lights that illuminate the 3-panel sign at the building entrance. Please be aware that all external lighting in excess of the 3,000 lumens threshold is required to be a full cut off style fixture. Please provide: 1. Two copies of revised drawings addressing the aforementioned comment. 2. A memo indicating specifically how the condition has been satisfied.
