RE: ARB- 2010 -55: Merchant's Auto Comprehensive Sign Criteria and Specialty Guitars Plus Signs
Dear Mr. Sapp,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board (ARB), at its meeting on June 21, 2010, conducted a
comprehensive sign review for the Merchant's Auto building and reviewed the above -noted request for a Certificate of
Appropriateness for signs for Specialty Guitars Plus.
The Comprehensive Sign Review established design criteria for future signs for the Merchant's Auto building. Those
criteria are outlined on the attached form. Any future signs proposed for this building that meet these criteria can be
approved by staff without being forwarded for full ARB review at an ARB meeting.
The Specialty Guitars sign designs approved by the ARB are outlined in the enclosed letter.
If you have any questions about these actions, feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Principal Planner
