RE: ARB -2015 -147: Sprint Signs
Dear Ms. Quick,
Fax (434) 972 -4126
I have reviewed the above -noted sign application and have identified a few issues with the proposal. The following
revisions are requested to make the proposal consistent with the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines and the
Comprehensive Sign Plan approved for this building.
1. The Comprehensive Sign Plan for the "Shopper's World Retail Building" applies to this proposal. A copy is
attached.
2. The criteria of the approved Comprehensive Sign Plan require that signs be located in the sign bands above the
awnings. Entrance Corridor sign guidelines require that signs not obscure architectural details. The proposed
location obscures decorative brickwork. Please revise the location to place the signs over the awnings and to
avoid the decorative brickwork.
3. The sign appears to be overscaled for the available wall area. A maximum height of 24" is recommended.
4. Add the letter heights to the sign drawing.
5. Color samples were missing from the application. Submit samples of the yellow and gray /silver colors for review.
6. Add the following note to 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."
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.
ASiincerely,
