Mr. Strobel — I am the planner reviewing your Architectural Review Board (ARB) sign application for the
above -noted sign. I have completed my review of your proposal against established ARB Sign Guidelines. The
following issues have been identified that will need to be adequately addressed for an administrative approval.
Only signs that are visible from the Route 29 Entrance Corridor require ARB approval.
ARB Review Fee:
The required $120 ARB review fee was not included with your application. The sign permit will not be issued
until that fee is paid. Include a note with the check indicating that it is for the review fee for ARB201300176.
S
A sign drawing for Sign E was not included in this submission; please provide.
Sign Colors:
Revise the sign drawings to include the Pantone equivalent number for all proposed sign colors and indicate
what the trim cap and return colors are for the channel letters.
Sign Dimensions/Photo-rendering:
The photo- rendering of the channel letter wall sign only shows a close -up portion of the building facade, not the
entire facade. Provide a photo- rendering of the entire facade, with the sign in its proposed location. Revise the
channel letter sign drawing to show the outer perimeter of the brick sign band behind the sign. Include overall
dimensions (width and height) of the brick sign band on the drawing. This is needed to determine whether the
sign is in proportion to the sign band.
Channel Letter Faces & Returns /Opaque:
ARB General Sign Design Guidelines require that faces and returns of halo -lit (reverse) channel letters be
opaque. Revise the sign drawings to include a note indicating that.
LED Intensitv:
The ARB requires a limitation to the LED lighting intensity. Revise the sign drawing to include the following
note regarding LED intensity:
The level of illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a single stroke of 30
milliamp (ma) neon.
Please contact me should you have any questions or concerns. Emailing the revised drawings back to me is
preferred.
