Tara - The corrected and added dimensions are great. However, you missed addressing the two other comments in my
earlier email (below) sent at 10:11 a.m. on October P. I have highlighted them in yellow.

Brent,
Attached is the proof again. I made a typo on the size of the bay area. Sorry about that! I also included the width of the
letters and arrow.
Will this work for you?

Tara - I am drafting the approval letter to issue once you have addressed all my comments. In doing so, I realized that
there is an error in your sign dimensions. The sign drawing indicates the overall sign height (text + graphic) is 24 '/2 ". This
conflicts with the grill panel height shown at 22-3/8"; please correct. Also, the drawing needs to indicate the overall length
of the sign (including the text & the arrow).

Tara - I have completed my review. The following issues remain.
Building frontage: Contact Stewart Wright directly with the building frontage (see highlight). You need to work with him directly to get his zoning
approval of the sign permit. I cannot issue an ARB approval until you have zoning approval.
Lighting: There are existing external sign lights visible in the photo- rendering (see highlight). This needs to be noted on the drawing.

RE: ARB- 2014 -123: The Phoenix Dance Studio Sign
Dear Ms. Rosene,
I have reviewed the above -noted sign application. The following revisions are requested to make the proposal consistent with the Entrance Corridor
Sign Guidelines.
1. The sign drawing is very difficult to read. The line work for "The Phoenix" and the dancer graphic is too light (unreadable). The notes on
the drawing (dimensions, labeling etc) are too small to read. Revise the sign drawing to address these issues.
2. Stewart Wright, Zoning Permit Planner, has indicated that the building frontage dimension is needed before he can complete his review.
3. Sign lighting is not addressed on the drawing. If there is existing, external lighting, this needs to be noted on the drawing.
Please respond by email within 15 days of the date of this letter indicating whether you will or will not proceed with these revisions. Your decision to
make the revisions will suspend the 60 -day review period associated with your original submittal. If you choose to complete the revisions, please
email the revised drawings to me. If you choose not to proceed with these revisions, staff will be unable to approve your application. Failure to
respond to this letter shall be presumed to be a request to proceed to action on the application without further revisions.
If you have any questions about this action, please contact me as soon as possible. I look forward to receiving your revisions and completing this
review with an approval letter.
Sincerely,
Brent Nelson
Planner

Erica - I am the planner reviewing your sign application for the Albemarle County Architectural Review
Board. I have completed my review. My staff comment letter, outlining the few issues to be addressed for my
administrative approval, is attached. A hard copy of the letter is in the mail to you as well. I have copied Tara
Stephens at Gropen so she can email the revised drawing back to me.
You are welcome to call or email me should you have any questions.
