Subject: ARB 13 -42, Kangaroo Sign, Staff Comments
Importance: High
John - I have completed my review. The following issues have been identified and will need to be adequately addressed
for an administrative approval.
Sign Colors:
Comment: ARB Sign Guidelines recommend limiting the total number of sign colors to three. Additional colors can be
approved if they contribute to a coordinated appearance. Revising the proposal to show the middle panel yellow
background color to match the yellow color in the kangaroo (as it does in the existing sign) would limit the overall
number of colors to five and provide a more coordinated appearance.
Recommendation: Revise the sign drawing to include all the proposed Pantone color numbers for the bottom and middle
sign panels and a note indicating that the background color of the middle panel will match the yellow color of the
kangaroo in the top panel.
Sign Lighting:
Comment: The sign drawing does not indicate if the text "REG" in the middle and "DSL" in the bottom sign panels is to
illuminate. If it is to illuminate, an opaque background is required so that only the text "REG" and "DSL" shall illuminate.
Recommendation: Revise the sign drawing to indicate whether or not the text of the middle and bottom sign panels is to
illuminate. If it is, include the following note: "The middle and bottom sign panels shall have an opaque background, only
the text REG and DSL and the gas pricing shall illuminate." Indicate the blub type for the illumination of the REG and
DSL. If LED is proposed, the following note regarding intensity is required: The level of illumination provided by the
LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon.
Gas Pricing:
Comment: The Architectural Review Board has required that the intensity of LED pricing being limited.
Recommendation: Revise the sign drawing to include the following required note: Daytime intensity limited to
70% of maximum intensity; Nighttime intensity limited to 16% of maximum intensity with automatic dimming at
dusk.
Please contact me should you have any questions.
