ARB General Sign Guidelines state the following regarding wall signs:
"Lettering should be in proportion to the sign and the building for visual clarity and overall balance. "
"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. "
Issue: The sign size, as currently proposed, does not meet the above guideline. The sign overcrowds the wall and
approved sign band area.
Recommendation: Reduce the sign size adequately so that it does not overcrowd the wall and sign area — leaving an
adequate amount of brick area showing on all four sides to frame the sign.

Subject: Bangkok 99 Revised Layout
Mr Brent Nelson
Attached is the revised layout for the sign Bangkok 99. Note ;;; There is 9" on each end of the sign. The sign is
13' long and the wall is 14'6" wide.
The customer would like the sign on one line (like his sign in Crozet) but the design of the building don't allow
this, He is allowed the square footage, so I don't think he should be penalized because of the building design.
and make a smaller sign. This sign is not cheap. The Restaurant is open and he needs his sign.
Thank You
