Subject: ARB201600008 Speedway - Sign
Jodi,
I have reviewed the proposed sign application, Speedway #4652 located at 1172 Richmond Road, and have the following
comments:
1. The proposed design for the pylon sign face replacements is inconsistent with ARB guidelines and previous
approvals. ARB guidelines limit signs to three colors or less, and in 2009 a similar sign proposal for this site
including Dunkin' Express logo colors in addition to the Hess /Wilco colors went to the Architectural Review
Board for review and was not approved. The previous approval was based on the Dunkin' Express panel colors
being consistent with the other panels on the sign. Please revise the Dunkin' Express panel colors to coordinate
with the Speedway and gas pricing panels (red, white, black).
2. Revise the drawing to indicate that the background of all illuminated sign panels is opaque and that only the text
and graphics shall illuminate.
3. The ARB has previously determined Red acrylic #2283 to be an inappropriate color for signs, with Red #2793
(Pantone 187C) as an acceptable substitute. Revise the proposed channel letter color to an appropriate color.
4. The proposed vinyl color is noted as 3M 7725 -63 Geranium, which is slightly different than the other red
shade(s) proposed; consider revising proposal to use a consistent color in all locations.
S. Add a note indicating that the ACM panel color white matches the canopy color white.
6. Add the following note to the 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 within 15 days of the date of this email 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 email 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.
