I have completed my review of your latest revisions and identified the following issues, previously outlined in my email
of March 13, 2012, that still remain.
Issue: Background Color:
• From my previous comments of March 13, 2012:
• Limit the background color to blue (the shade of blue shall coordinate with the shades of blue used for the
backgrounds of existing signs in the shopping center).
• In your latest submission - The background color is purple not blue.
Issue: Sign Location/Size:
• From my previous comments of March 13, 2012:
• Limit the sign location to over the door and centered between the gutter beneath and bottom of the window
above —just as the existing Burger Oasis sign is (see attached photo). The Burger Oasis sign was approved at
a 3'- 6" height x 7' width. This proposal is for a 4' height x 5' width sign. The additional 6" in height appears
to over crowd the distance between the gutter and bottom of the window.
In your latest submission — this issue has not been addressed:
Sign drawing needs to state that the sign is to be located on the roof above the door in the same location
as the previous "Burger Oasis" sign.
Sign drawing needs to indicate the overall height and width dimensions of the sign. These dimensions
need to match that of the previous sign "Burger Oasis" 3' — 6" tall x 7' wide.
Issue: Sian Lighting:
From my previous comments of March 13, 2012:
The sign application did not indicate if the sign is to be illuminated. If it is to be illuminated, the application would
need to be revised to indicate the location and type of light fixture, include the bulb type /wattage and not exceed 3,000
lumens. The lighting would need to be external to the sign and located on the roof as with the other illuminated signs
in the shopping center.
In your latest submission — this issue has not been addressed:
• The revised drawing did not indicate if the sign is to be illuminated. A recent site visit showed a newly installed white
light fixture directly beneath the sign. That fixture is white and it needs to be black or bronze to blend with the
existing roof color and the color of other roof light fixtures.
• The sign drawing needs to be revised to indicate the bulb type (e.g. halogen, LED etc), bulb wattage and a cutsheet of
the light fixture will need to be provided. Bulbs wattages exceeding 3,000 lumens cannot be approved for the fixture
currently installed.
Issue: Color ID:
From my previous comments of March 13, 2012:
Provide color samples of all proposed colors or revise the sign drawing to include the Pantone number for each
proposed color.
In your latest submission — this issue has not been addressed.
Issue: Proposed Text & Graphic Dimensions:
From my previous comments of March 13, 2012:
Revise the sign drawing to include the dimensions (height & width) of the text and graphics.
In your latest submission — this issue has not been addressed.
The revised sign drawing does not include dimensions (height & width) of the text and graphics.
The size of the sun logo overcrowds the overall sign. Reducing the diameter of the logo, to allow the background
color to show on all sides of the logo would be appropriate.
Issue: ARB Review Fee:
From my previous comments of March 13, 2012:
The required $120 ARB (Architectural Review Board) review fee was not provided with this application. The
sign permit will not be issued until that fee is paid.
In your latest submission — this issue has not been addressed.
Please contact me should you have any questions.
