Marcie,
I have completed my review of the above -noted sign application. The following issues will need to be
adequately addressed for an administrative approval.
Wall Sign
Existing Sim
The photo- rendering shows both the existing and proposed signs on the elevation. Revise the photo- rendering
by removing the existing sign Teacher's Edition from the rendering.
Opaque Back round:.
ARB Sign Guidelines and the Zoning Ordinance require that the background of internally illuminated
backgrounds be opaque when illuminated. Revise the sign drawing by adding the following note: "The sign
background shall be opaque when illuminated. Only the text and logo shall illuminate. "
Freestanding Sign
Illumination:
The photo - rendering does not address illumination. Revise the rendering to indicate if it is illuminated. Indicate bulb type
and method (internal or external) if illuminated. If LED, 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.
Opaque Back ground:
If the pole -mount sign is to be internally illuminated, the sign background must be opaque when illuminated and
the following note is required on the rendering: "The sign background shall be opaque when illuminated. Only
the text and logo shall illuminate. "
You are welcome to contact me should you have any questions. Emailing revised photo- renderings is preferred.
