RE: ARB 12 -125, Seminole Place Sign
Noel,
I have completed my review of the above -noted sign application. The following issues have been identified and will need
to be adequately addressed for an administrative approval.
Sign Wall:
ARB Sign Guidelines state that materials used in both the sign and support structure should be complimentary. The
structure of a monument sign shall not overwhelm the sign and must be in proportion to the sign.
• Revise the sign proposal to include drawings showing the width, length and height of the sign wall. The drawing
should call out the product ID for the wall material. A sample of the wall material will need to be provided for
review unless the applicant has had it previously approved for other signage.
o Note: I believe the zoning sign height includes the sign wall. Stewart Wright, Zoning Permit Planner, has
been contacted for confirmation on this.
Sign Landscaping_
ARB Sign Guidelines encourage the use of ground cover, shrubs and/or trees to integrate freestanding signs into the
overall site landscape.
• Revise the sign proposal to indicate the proposed planting material at the base of the sign wall.
Opaque Background:
ARB Sign Guidelines state that cabinet signs shall have a non - illuminated background, or an opaque (zero light
transmission) background. The applicant has verbally indicated that only the text Seminole Place is to illuminate and not
the leasing text; however, that is not clear on the drawing.
• Revise the sign drawing to include the following note: The proposed sign is to have an opaque background; only
the text "Seminole Place " shall illuminate.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or concerns.
