Subject: ARB 2011 -111, Advance Auto Sign, Shopper's World
Jennifer,
I have completed my review of your sign application for Advance Auto at Shopper's World and have identified
the following issues that will need to be addressed before I can administratively approve this application.
Issue: Sign Colors/Labeling
The proposed channel letter color, Red acrylic #2793, is not labeled on the drawing. The proposed trim cap and
return colors for the channel letters and logo not indicated on sign drawing; bronze or a color matching the face
is preferred.
Recommendations:
Revise the sign drawing to clearly indicate the proposed face color for the channel letters and the trim cap /return
colors for the channel letters and logo; bronze or a color matching the face is preferred for the trim cap /returns.
Issue: Raceway Color
Entrance Corridor guidelines require that the raceway be painted to match the surface to which it is attached.
The sign drawing does not indicate that.
Recommendations:
Revise the sign drawing to include the following note: "The sign raceway shall be painted to match the surface
to which it is attached to. "
Issue: LED/Note Regarding Intensity
Internal LED is proposed. The ARB requires the following standard regarding LED intensity: The level of
illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma)
neon.
Recommendations:
Revise the sign drawing to include the following note: "The level of illumination provided by the LED lights will not
exceed the illumination produced by a single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon. "
Issue: Logo Dimensions /Sign Drawing
The width dimension for the proposed logo is not shown on the sign drawing.
Recommendations:
Revise the sign drawing to indicate the width for the proposed logo.
Please contact me should you have any questions or concerns; emailing the revised drawings is preferred if
possible.
