Re: ARB 09 -108, Jiffy Lube Sign
TMP 061WO -02 -OB -00300
Mr. Kelly,
Fax (434) 972 -4012
I have completed my initial review of the above -noted proposal. The following issues would need to be addressed before
I could grant my administrative approval.
Wall Signs:
Revise the wall sign drawings to:
• Indicate the proposed materials for the channel letters and logo box
• Indicate the method of illumination (internal or external and the bulb type) for the channel letters and logo box.
If LED is proposed, revise the sign drawing to include the following note:
o "The level of illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a
single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon. "
• Include the following notes:
• "The proposed dark red vinyl color is equivalent to paint color SW 2905. "
• "Logo can to have a non - illuminated background or an opaque (zero light transmission) background,
only the arrow logo and ring shall illuminate — logo can to be fabricated such that no light spills
outward from the top, bottom, sides or back.
• "Channel Letters with translucent faces to be fabricated such that no light spills outward from the
top, bottom, sides or back. "
Freestanding Sign:
• The following issues have been identified at this time:
• The proposed location of the freestanding sign is off -site in VDOT right -of -way and therefore cannot
be approved.
• A proposed landscape plan, integrating the sign structure, into the overall development would need to
be submitted.
• The sign drawings would need to be revised to indicate the proposed fluorescent bulb type.
• The sign drawings would need to be revised to include the following notes:
• Cabinet sign and reader board shall have a non - illuminated background or an opaque (zero
light transmission) background only the text ` jiffy lube ", circle and "J" with arrow shall
illuminate.
• The cabinet shall be constructed such that no light spills outward from the top, bottom, sides
or rear.
• The drawings do not indicate if the reader board is to be illuminated. Staff will be asking the ARB at
the January 19th meeting if they will allow administrative approval of reader boards with the condition
that they shall not be illuminated.
o The sign drawings would need to be revised to indicate the proposed materials for the cabinet and
cabinet base. A sample of the brick proposed for the cabinet base will need to be provided for review
and approval.
If you have any questions concerning the above, please contact me.
