RE: ARB- 2009 -34: Three Notch'd Center
Dear Mr. Perkins,
I have reviewed your recent submittal for the above - referenced proposal, which included the following
drawings: site plan sheets 1 -18 with revision date of 8/24/09; architectural drawings SKI and SK2 dated
August 27, 2009; and a sign drawing, undated. The changes made in these drawings address the
outstanding conditions of ARB approval. You may consider this letter your Certificate of Appropriateness.
This Certificate of Appropriateness includes ARB approval of the design criteria for wall signs for this
building, as follows:
a. Sign type: Reverse lit channel letters
b. Illumination type: Internal LED
c. Colors: Black faces, trim caps and returns
d. Size limits: 18" letter height, max
e. Locations: Centered over first story windows and doors
f. Mounting: Raceway, raceway color to match wall surface
g. Graphics/logos: Limited to 18" maximum height and black faces
This Certificate of Appropriateness also includes ARB approval of the freestanding sign design, as
follows:
Type: Monument
Materials: Acrylic letters mounted on slate, slate mounted on brick base (brick to match building: Old
Virginia "Poplar Forest ")
Location: West side of central pedestrian entrance to site
Overall Sign Size: 3' 9 3/4" tall x 9' 11" long x 2' 3" deep
Panel Size: 7' 11" long x 1' 4" tall
Text: "Three Notch' d Center"
Colors: Letters: Arctic white
Graphic: None
Illumination: None
Please note that sign permits will still be required for all proposed signs and the final location of the
freestanding sign will not be approved until the sign permit is applied for and approved.
The approval for this Certificate of Appropriateness is predicated on the fact that the design and materials,
as proposed and exhibited for review, will be used. The acceptance of approval implies that the applicant
has agreed to execute the design as indicated on the site plan, attachments, materials, samples, and other
submittal items presented. Any change in the approved design or materials will require an amendment to
the plan and must be reviewed and approved by the Architectural Review Board.
Please note the following:
1. This application is approved with the condition that mechanical equipment shall not be visible from the
Entrance Corridor.
2. Changes made to the site or architectural plans after issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness can
delay the signing of mylars and the approval of building permits. It is in the applicant's best interest to
notify ARB staff of such changes and to initiate the review of amendments to ARB- approved plans to
avoid future delays.
3. 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.
4. The level of illumination produced by the LED lights for the wall signs shall not exceed the level of
illumination produced by a single stroke of 30 milliamp neon.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Principal Planner
