Tina - I have completed my review of your Architectural Review Board (ARB) sign application. The
following issues have been identified that will need to be adequately addressed for my administrative approval.
S4m Type:
ARB General Sign Guidelines indicate that panels behind channel letters would be inappropriate as channel
letters are supposed to let the building wall (architecture) show from behind. Revise the sign drawing by
removing the panels shown behind the channel letters.
Sign Colors:
Revise the sign drawing to clearly indicate the Pantone face and trim cap color numbers for the channel letters
and the logo cabinet.
Sign Opaque Background:
Both the zoning ordinance and ARB General Sign Guidelines require that all cabinet signs in the Entrance
Corridor have non - illuminated, opaque backgrounds. Revise the sign drawing to include the following note for
the logo cabinet.
"The blue background of the logo cabinet shall be opaque, non - illuminated; only the star graphic and
cabinet border shall illuminate."
LED Intensitv:
Revise the sign drawing to include the following note regarding the intensity of LED lighting:
"The level of illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a single stroke of 30
milliamp (ma) neon."
Sign Band Dimensions:
Revise the sign drawings to indicate the sign band height and width dimensions for each of three wall signs.
You are welcome to contact me should you have any questions. Please email revised drawings to me.
You left me a voicemail earlier this afternoon. I assume you were wanting to find out the status of my review.
Let me know if you still want me to return your call.
