RE: ARB 2014 -01, Al Carbon Sign
Dear Ms. Hernandez,
We have received your above - referenced sign application. Your application was incomplete. We cannot
begin review until the missing information is submitted. The following items were missing from your
submittal:
1. A drawing, to scale, showing dimensions of the sign (length, height, depth).
2. An elevation drawing (s) or modified photograph of the entire building, to scale and in color, showing:
• The sign location on the building, sign height above grade, and the length of the building frontage.
• The sign lettering and graphics in their proposed location.
A color illustration of the front and side elevations of the sign showing:
• Indication of sign type (channel letters, cabinet, panel, etc.).
• Indicate on the drawings the proposed materials and colors. Include standard color identification
numbers (Pantone, Benjamin Moore, Acrylic, etc.) for all materials, text, graphics, etc.
• Provide accurate physical samples of all colors proposed in the sign, preferably in the material
proposed. (Paint chips that accurately reflect the proposed colors are acceptable.)
• For internally illuminated signs, indicate which areas of the sign are opaque and which are
illuminated. (Opaque materials don't allow light to pass through. When lit only from behind, the
color of an opaque material cannot be detected nor can objects be seen through it.)
• Location of proposed light fixtures and manufacturer cut sheets describing illumination type,
intensity, style, shielding, color, and height. All lighting must meet ordinance requirements as
outlined in Section 4.17.
4. Comprehensive sign criteria for this shopping center have been approved and are attached. The
required sign criteria include:
a. The sign must be a panel type sign.
b. There cannot be more than four colors, including the background color.
c. The sign text color must be white.
d. The sign background color must be a shade of blue that coordinates with the background
color of existing, previously approved signs in the shopping center.
e. Graphics, if used, must be incorporated as an integral part of the overall sign.
f. If illumination is desired, the sign must be externally illuminated.
Please re- submit your sign drawings, including the missing information. (You may email the revised
drawings to me at bnelsonkalbemarle.org or send the copies by U.S. mail.) If the missing items are
received within 15 days of the date of this letter, we will proceed with review, and the submittal date will
be adjusted according to the date of your resubmittal. If the missing items are not received within 15 days
of the date of this letter, the application will be denied and a new fee will be required to submit a new
application.
If you have any questions about this process, feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Brent W. Nelson, Planner
