John,
I have completed my review of this application for compliance with the Architectural Review Board (ARB) Sign
Guidelines and identified the following issues that would need to be addressed for approval.
Sign Color /Approved Comprehensive Sign Criteria:
1807 Seminole Trail has established Comprehensive Sign Criteria (see attachment "1807 Seminole Trail pdf'). These
criteria indicate that the approved sign type would be channel letter and the approved color is PMS 220 or raspberry vinyl
3M 3630 -133. Since the proposed Blue Acrylic 2114 does not correspond with the approved color, we are not able to
approve this proposal administratively. You have the option of requesting that the application be taken to the ARB for a
full review at the June 18, 2012 meeting. You can also propose new comprehensive sign criteria for the building and
request approval at that meeting. To request a revision to the approved Comprehensive Sign Criteria you would need to
use the attached Word doc "1807 Seminole Trail" to edit with your proposed criteria and resubmit along with a letter or
email from the owner indicating that he is requesting this change.
Sign Location/Dimensions:
ARB General Sign Guidelines state that sign's size must coordinate with the architectural element's size, and the sign should
not over -crowd the architectural element, the wall, or the sign area. The total height of the building fascia, where the signs are to
be located, is not indicated on the drawing; therefore, this cannot be evaluated.
• Recommendation: Revise the sign drawing to indicate the total height of the building fascia (sign location).
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or concerns.

John,
I have attached the approved Comprehensive Sign Criteria for 1807 Seminole Trail. As you will note, the blue
channel letters for Blue Ridge Bank could not be approved administratively. As I mentioned, Stellar One had
installed a blue and gold color channel letter sign without permit. It was taken to the ARB in 2008 and they
were required to change the color to the approved sign color, raspberry
vinyl overlay (PMS 202) with the trim caps and returns bronze and the raceway painted PMS 423C to match the building.
