The revised drawing would need to include a note indicating the raceway would be painted a color to match the wall to which it is attached. Brent Brent W.

If my customer wants to proceed with channel letters can they be mounted on a raceway?

Sign Type: Cabinet ARB Guidelines state: Channel lettering (mounted on a raceway or individual letters) is preferred to cabinet signs because cabinet signs tend to appear less integrated with the building. Channel letters overlay the wall material and allow the structure of the building to read through with less interruption. This results in a more coordinated overall appearance....... When channel letters cannot be adequately accommodated, internally illuminated cabinet signs may be considered. The proposed cabinet style sign type cannot be administratively approved since a channel letter sign can be accommodated in the proposed location above the 3 -part window and would meet the sign guideline. Note: the existing UNIVERSITY TIRE & AUTO CENTER channel letter wall sign was approved administratively earlier this year. Your other option is to request a full review of the current sign proposal by the Architectural Review Board at their August 20, 2012 meeting. A representative for the sign applicant would have to be present at that meeting. Other Issues: Color sample: • A Pantone color number (or color sample) would need to be provided for the proposed Pantone Reflex Blue which does not appear in the Pantone Formula Guide. Sign size: ARB Guidelines state: The size of a wall sign shall be coordinated with the size of the architectural element on which it is placed. The sign should not overcrowd the architectural element, the wall, or the sign area. • The sign in its proposed location is off - center to the 3 -part window beneath, has an over - scaled appearance with the available wall area and as a result does not appear integrated with the building design. Reducing the sign length to match the total window width and centering the sign with the window below would be more appropriate. Missing information: • Proposed dimensions (length & height) for both the text & the Bib man logo are not on sign drawing. Opaque background: • Both the Zoning Ordinance and ARB Sign Guidelines require that the background of cabinet signs be opaque. This was not indicated on the sign drawing. ARB Review Fee: • The required ARB review fee was not included with this application. The sign permit cannot be issued until the review fee is paid. Please reply by email no later than Noon, Monday, July 23, 2012 (sooner if possible), indicating whether or not you intend to revise the proposal for an administrative approval or wish to have the ARB review the current proposal at the August 20, 2012 meeting. Revised drawings are not required by the July 23rd deadline and can be submitted by email. Brent Brent W.
