Home My WebLink AboutARB201400085 Review Comments Miscellaneous Submittal 2014-07-10Brent Nelson From: Brent Nelson Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2014 5:11 PM To: 'Tracey - Expedite The Diehl' Cc: Stewart Wright Subject: ARB 201400085, Chick -fil -A Signs, Staff Comments Importance: High Tracey - I have completed my review of the above -noted ARB sign application. The following issues have been identified. Currently there is no approved site plan and no ARB approved site and building plan. I cannot approve this ARB application until there is site plan approval and ARB approval of the site and building plans. Do not begin construction of any signs until you have both ARB sign approval and an approved sign permit. Regarding the freestanding sign. 1. Revise the sign drawing with notes to clearly indicate just what illuminates. The zoning ordinance requires that the sign have an opaque background. Include a note that the white background shall be opaque. 2. 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. 3. The sign location and landscaping around the sign cannot be evaluated until the site plan/landscape plan has been approved. 4. Sign brick base material must match the approved building material. Currently, no building material has been approved. Re ag rding the wall signs: 1. The zoning permit planner will not evaluate the wall signs for compliance with the zoning ordinance until the site plan has been approved. 2. The wall signs cannot be evaluated for compliance with the ARB sign guidelines until the ARB has approved the building design. 3. 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. You are welcome to contact me should you have any questions or concerns. Brent Brent W. Nelson Planner Planning Services Department of Community Development County of Albemarle 401 McIntire Rd.

WE need to get the signs into production. WE can't do that without your approval. So we hope to at least get a verbal and know that we need to resolve the site plan before issuance. As long as the signs meet your requirements and square footages we can start producing them. That alone takes 2 to 3 months.

After doing a bit of research I discovered that the site plan for this new Chik -fil -a hasn't even been approved yet. I can't complete my Zoning review of these permits until the site plan has been approved by the County. I'll keep them moving and let other reviewers look at them, but they can't be issued until we have an approved site plan for this site.

The ARB fee would however have to be received before I could issue an ARB approval letter. As I mentioned, I do not handle the other fees.

Re ag rding the freestanding si= The Architectural Review Board (ARB) has given staff the following direction regarding the approval of reader boards: • Reader boards shall have an opaque background. • Only the letters may be illuminated, but illumination is not required. • Reader boards shall not exceed 40% of the size of the overall sign face. • The background color of the reader board shall be black or some other color already on the sign face. • Construction of the reader board shall be integral with the main sign. • The track holding the letters shall have minimal visual impact. In your current proposal, the reader board does not have an integrated appearance with the overall sign. The idea is to have a section of the sign allowing for changeable text without it looking like a separate reader board. If LED is proposed, the following note limiting the intensity of the light is needed on the drawing: The level of illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon. The Pantone color numbers for all proposed colors, except black and white, are required on the sign drawing. Notes are required on the drawing clearly stating that the background is to be opaque and only the text and graphic shall illuminate. Regarding menu boards: 4.15.16 REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN SIGN TYPES f. Menu signs. An outdoor menu sign shall be permitted as a directory sign only on a lot with a permitted drive - through use and shall not be visible from any street.
