ARB 2012 -30, Crozet Dentist Sign, ARB Staff Comments
Ms. Rice,
I have completed my review of your sign application. The following issues would need to be adequately
addressed before I could grant my administrative approval.
Dimensions:
Issue: Dimensions (length & height) for each row of text and the mountain logo were not included on the sign
drawing. Approved sign criteria for this development limit letter height to 15 ".
Recommendation: Revise the sign drawing to include the dimensions (length & height) for each row of text and
the mountain logo; limit letter height to 15" max.
Reverse Channel Letter, Opaque Faces & Returns:
Issue: Architectural Review Board (ARB) Sign Guidelines indicate that the faces and returns of reverse channel
letters shall be opaque when illuminated. This is not indicated on the sign drawing.
Recommendation: Revise the sign drawing to include a note indicating the faces and returns of the reverse
channel letters shall be opaque when illuminated.
LED Illumination, Intensity:
Issue: The ARB has determined that the following criteria should apply to the intensity of LED lighting. The
level of illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a single stroke of 30
milliamp (ma) neon.
Recommendation: Revise the sign drawing to include the following note regarding LED lighting 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. "
Emailing revised sign drawings, while not required, is preferred. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you
have any questions or concerns.
