RE: ARB201100017 Applebees Pantops Renovation and Signs
Tax Map 78, Parcel 73A2
Dear Mr. Renoux,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on April 4, 2011, completed a preliminary
review of the above -noted request to install new wall signs, to install new awnings over windows and doors,
and to install a canopy with signage over the main entrance. The Board offered the following comments for the
benefit of the applicant's next submittal. Please note that the following comments are those that have been
identified at this time. Additional comments may be added or eliminated based on further review and changes
to the plan.
1. Reduce the awning size to one that is traditional and revise the awning position so that it has a more
traditional relationship to the window.
2. Eliminate the uplights at the canopy /trellis.
3. Clarify and coordinate the drawings regarding the use of a raceway for the Applebee's letters. If a
raceway is proposed, indicate on the drawings that its color will match the color of the wall to which it is
attached.
4. The apple graphic as proposed is not appropriate. A smaller graphic may be acceptable.
5. Limit the Applebee's channel letter sign to 9'8" in length.
6. Coordinate the architectural and sign drawings.
7. Confirm that the tagline sign is proposed. If it is, provide a to -scale drawing showing the tagline sign on
the building, with dimensions. The sign shall not overlap or obscure architectural detail.
8. Provide dimensions on the drawing for the Neighborhood Grill & Bar sign in the canopy.
9. Eliminate the LED lighting in the channel of the canopy.
10. Add this note to the sign drawings: The level of illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the
illumination produced by a single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon.
11. Submit the $590 building permit review fee.
You may submit your application for continued ARB review at your earliest convenience. Application forms,
checklists and schedules are available on -line at www.albemarle.org /planning.
Revised drawings addressing the comments listed above are required. Include updated ARB revision dates on
each drawing and an ARB approval signature panel. Please provide a memo including detailed responses
indicating how each comment has been addressed. If changes other than those requested have been made,
identify those changes in the memo also. Highlighting the changes in the drawing with "clouding" or by other
means will facilitate review and approval.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
