This proposal is for the refacing of the existing sign. Just as with the other Ivy Properties sign, we cannot continue to leave this ARB application in a state of indefinite deferral. You will either need to submit revised drawings addressing the issues in my original email below or request that the application be withdrawn. If neither happens, I will have to issue a letter of administrative denial of the application. I would appreciate it if you could get back to me by the end of the day tomorrow, Friday. Brent Brent W.

I missed all of last week due to flu. This project is moving very slowly but I think in the spring it will pick back up. Due to this I am requesting an indefinite deferral of ARB 2013 -109 Ivy Properties Sign. As soon as this project revisions are approved I will contact you so that we may start the process again. Thank you and have a great day! Tara Stephens 4 X 1144 E.

I am the planner who is handling the review of your Architectural Review Board sign application for this proposal. I need to get you to reply to this email and request an "indefinite deferral of ARB 2013 -109 Ivy Properties Sign ". This will have no negative impact on the review of your proposal and will allow me to keep it active in our tracking system. You will then have as much time as you need to get back to me with your revised proposal. Without a deferral request, technically I should have denied the application. Thanks, Brent Brent W.

Importance: High Hi Brent, Another employee here, Tara Stephens has taken over this sign. We are still going forward with the sign but a completely different appearance- masonry, etc. Our client is a bit hard to reach and slow to get back to us, but she sent him proofs last week. Please feel free to contact her with any questions. Her email is tstephenskgropen.com. I will remind her that the application will need to be reconsidered and to contact you.

Importance: High Katie - You and I last spoke about this proposal on September 12th. I pointed out that the sign drawing did not contain the note requiring an opaque background — see my August 28th email below (yellow hi- lite). Otherwise everything looked ok. I have not received the revised drawing from you and was wondering what the status was on this proposal. Please let me know. Brent Brent W.

Please let me know if further revisions are needed. Thanks very much, Katie Cullinan <image001.png> 1144 E.

We will not be changing the bulb type from what is existing, will we need to take specifications from the existing sign ?. Regarding the sign panel, it was designed in this way to match the existing panel with the colored logos and white background. Is there any way that we could keep the logo colors for the lettering, as this is the same as the existing sign, or do we have to invert the colors? Thank you, Katie Cullinan <image001.png> 1144 E.

The following issues have been identified that will need to be adequately addressed for an administrative ARB approval. 1. Your sign drawing shows dark blue and pink colors but does not list those colors in the legend. Please revise the sign drawing to include a list of all sign colors (include the PMS equivalent number for each color) and indicate where the color is used on the sign. 2. Please revise the sign drawing to indicate if the sign is internally illuminated. If it is, indicate the bulb type. If LED is proposed the following note is required on the sign 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. " 3. The Zoning Ordinance and ARB Sign Guidelines require that the sign background be opaque, non - illuminated at night. Only the text and graphic can illuminate. Please revise the sign drawing to include the following note: "The refaced cabinet panel shall be opaque, non - illuminated at night; only the text and graphics shall illuminate " Please email revised drawings back to me. 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.
