Tanya - I have completed my review of the above -noted sign proposal. The following issues have been
identified that will need to be adequately addressed for my administrative approval.
Sign Materials:
• Revise the sign drawing to indicate the material proposed for the sign posts and the backer panel (behind
the granite)
Sign Colors:
• The application included a square metal color sample labeled on the back as Pantone Warm Gray 4C,
Text Paint Fill. The color of the sample does not match Pantone Warm Gray 4C — it is much darker.
Please explain discrepancy.
• In the title block section of the drawing, it states that the posts are to be black when the drawing states
they are to be Cool Gray 4C — please correct.
Sign Dimensions:
• Revise the sign drawing to indicate the total width of the sign text.
Sign Landscaping:
• ARB Sign Guidelines require the use of ground cover, shrubs and/or trees to integrate freestanding signs
into the overall site landscape. A landscape plan, addressing this, was not included. Provide a landscape
plan showing the use of a variety of shrub types and heights and ground cover in a design that ties the
sign into the wooded landscape behind it. A professional such as a landscape architect or horticulturalist
should be able to assist you with this.
Sign Illumination:
It appears the sign is not to be illuminated. If correct, add a note to the drawing indicating that.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.
