RE: ARB- 2009 -40: Ntelos Sign (Tax Map 32, Parcel 37C1)
Dear Ms. Neal:
I have reviewed your request for the above -noted sign. Because the sign meets the ARB Design Guidelines and
the Comprehensive Sign Criteria for the Retail Center at Seminole Trail and Proffit Road, I am able to review this
proposal administratively for the ARB. I have approved a sign of the design outlined below. You may consider
this letter your Certificate of Appropriateness.
WALL SIGN 1
Type: Channel Letter
Materials: Aluminum, Acrylic, Vinyl
Overall Sign Size: 5' -1" (W) x 3' -3" (H)
Text: "Ntelos ": 5' -1" (W) x 18" (H)
"wireless ": 2' -6" (W) x 8" (H)
Graphics: The "n" embedded in a blue triangle and a blue swoosh over "Telos"
Colors: Text: "n ": White
"Telos" and "wireless ": Black
Returns and Trim Caps: Black
Triangle and Swoosh Graphics: 3M 3630 -157 Sultan Blue (same as 3M 230 -157 Cobalt Blue)
Location: Horizontally and vertically centered in the sign band over the southernmost entrance on the west
elevation.
Illumination: Internal LED modules. The triangle graphic and swoosh will be opaque at night. Sign faces must
appear white when illuminated at night.
This approval is predicated on the fact that the design and materials, as proposed and listed above, will be used.
The acceptance of approval implies that the applicant has agreed to execute the design as indicated on the
submittal items presented, and as listed above. Any changes in the approved sign or materials will require an
amendment to the application and must be reviewed and approved by the Architectural Review Board.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
1. This approval does not include any window signs. If window signs are proposed, a separate application
must be made, reviewed and approved by the Architectural Review Board.
2. This ARB approval is only one approval required prior to installing a sign. A sign permit is also required.
If you have not already made an application for a sign permit, please contact the permit intake staff at
296 -5832 for requirements.
3. Please note that "opaque" means that light will not pass through the material. Consequently, the color of
the background portion of the face of the sign will not be visible when the sign is internally illuminated at
night. If you have any question about this requirement for an opaque background, do not proceed with
the construction or installation of the sign until you have spoken with County staff.
4. The level of illumination produced by the LED lights shall not exceed the level of illumination produced
by a single stroke of 30 milliamp neon.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me at 434 - 296 -5832 x 3029.
Sincerely,
Eryn Brennan
Senior Planner
