Subject: ARB 13 -20, VETSS Sign, Staff Comments
Randy - I have completed my review of the above -noted sign proposal. The following issues have been
identified and will need to be adequately addressed for an administrative approval.
ARB Review Fee:
The required $120 ARB review fee has not been paid for this application. The sign permit will not be issued
until that fee has been received.
Sign Colors:
Proposed Pantone numbers have not been provided on the drawing. List all the proposed colors and the Pantone
number equivalent on the sign drawing. Note: Red acrylic #2283 or its equivalent Pantone 485 are colors that
cannot be approved.
Sign Illumination/Electrical Permit:
On the application, you checked that an electrical permit was required and paid the $45.90 fee; however, no
electrical drawings were included indicating what the change is. Please provide those drawings to Stewart
Wright for review. An electrical permit is only required for a refacing when there are electrical changes being
proposed.
Add a note to the sign drawing indicating what type of internal illumination is proposed. If LED is proposed,
add 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 Background:
The sign drawing does not indicate exactly what parts of the sign are to illuminate. Provide a note indicating
exactly what is to illuminate. For example, if the text and logo both are to illuminate, include the following note
on the drawing:
"Opaque background, only the text and graphic shall illuminate"
