RE: ARB- 2015 -13: Bojangles Sign
Dear Mr. Gordon,
I have reviewed the above -noted sign application. The following revisions are requested to make the proposal
consistent with the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines.
Regarding the freestanding sign proposal:
1. The drawing appears to show internal halo - lighting of the text and graphics but does not indicate how that
is going to be achieved. Provide a detail of the cabinet demonstrating how the internal halo - lighting will be
produced. Revising the proposal to show only external illumination of the sign cabinet would eliminate the
need for this.
2. Revise the sign drawing to indicate the monument brick will be the Triangle Brick "Old South Handform"
approved for the building.
3. Revise the sign drawing to indicate the directional sign cabinets `Enter" & "Exit Only" will have opaque
backgrounds; only the text and graphics shall illuminate.
4. Revise the landscape plan provided to show planting integrating the sign into the existing planting plan.
This should include shrubs and ground cover. Indicate both the common and botanical name for the
proposed shrub(s) and ground cover. Show the location of the ground- mounted lighting on the landscape
plan. The light fixtures must be located so the shrubs shield their visibility from the Entrance Corridor.
5. Revise the sign drawing to indicate the ground - mounted fixture housing color; black or bronze fixtures
would be appropriate.
Regarding all ll proposed signage:
1. Zoning approval is required. Address all of the issues identified by Stewart Wright, Zoning Permit Planner
(434- 296 -5832 ext 3024).
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
