Mr. Cha,
I tried to call you just now but was not able to reach you, so I thought I would send this email. As I mentioned on the
phone last week, sign applications such as yours, located in the Hollymead Town Center, must be reviewed/approved for
compliance with sign guidelines established by the Albemarle County, Architectural Review Board. This is because that
shopping center is located adjacent to a designated Entrance Corridor (Route 29). However, I visited your proposed sign
location and realized that your sign will not be visible from the Route 29 right -of -way. Because it is not visible from the
right -of -way, Architectural Review Board approval is not required for your sign permit.
You do still need to have your sign permit reviewed and approved by other divisions within our department. Since I do
not have to review your permit, I have forwarded it on to the other divisions that must review and approve it. Should you
have any questions regarding the status of your sign permit review, I would suggest you call Stewart Wright, Permit
Planner at 434 - 296 -5832, ext. 3024. He will be overseeing the review of your permit.
Please do not hesitate to call me should you have any questions.

Mr. Cha,
As per our phone conversation this morning, I am attaching the letter I mailed to you regarding your recent sign
application. As the letter states, your application was incomplete and cannot be reviewed until the missing
information is received. The information that is required is listed in the letter. As promised, I am also attaching
a copy of the approved sign criteria for that building at Hollymead Town Center. This criteria was developed
and approved by the Architectural Review Board. As I mentioned, only sign applications meeting that approved
criteria can be approved administratively by staff. Please note, the approved sign criteria require that the sign
colors be limited to red (PMS 187) or white, while your application shows pink, green and yellow colors. As I
mentioned, your other option would be to have the application reviewed by the Architectural Review Board at
their October 17a' meeting.
You are welcome to contact me once you have had a chance to review this. I would be happy to discuss it and
answer any questions you might have.
