Brion,
I just wanted to follow up on our discussion when you visited this the Community Development office this
morning. Items in italics are additional details that expand upon our discussion.
Items we discussed this morning:
1. The webpage we directed you to is: http: / /www.albemarle.org /arb. That has the information you will need for
the process, timeline and content of submissions to the Architectural Review Board.
There is a link for the ARB Submission and Review Schedule, but you can also find it at:
http: / /www.albemarle.org /upload /images /forms center /departments /Community Development /forms /schedules /Archit
ectural Review Board Schedule.pdf
Also, near the bottom of the page under "Where to get more help" there are also links to the Albemarle County Sign
Guidelines and the Albemarle County Design Guidelines.
2. We need you to provide samples of the proposed materials for all portions of the wall signs (please see 3.d. of the
previously sent "application incomplete" letter that I've attached where that was specified).
3. Since the building changes also need to be reviewed by ARB the sign submission will be evaluated at the same
time. Therefore, please have your updated sign submission (and the fee mentioned below) to the County on or
before the same day of the submission of the building's ARB application to avoid any delays. As discussed, any
coordination between the sign submission and the building submission would be beneficial. (The person who had
reach out to us earlier this week in reference to the building submission was Josh Cocagne at Lingle Design Group. His
number is 815 - 369 - 9155).
4. Please provide color samples for all portions of the signs.
The "Material Specifications" that were listed on the updated submission packet you sent this last Monday (218116) either
do not include Pantone numbers or are Pantone numbers we do not seem to have a color sample for. So please submit the
color samples as discussed.
5. The graphics that you submitted Monday (1/8/2016) have inconsistencies and errors and therefore review is
waiting until you submit again. As discussed please make sure you go through this packet thoroughly. At a
quick glance I had found errors on dimensions and scales. There had seemed to be confusion on the sign types
but today you clarified the portions that would and would not be raceways. Also, as we discussed by phone on
Tuesday (219116), the 'Sign Height" specified on the wall sign diagram sent by Carrie Goff does not seem to be
correct. That measurement should be to the top of the sign, not the bottom.
An item not discussed this morni
As mentioned in the letter sent to you on February 15Y 2016 (please see the paragraph below #4 in the letter), in moving
forward with an application that is not consistent with the previously approved Comprehensive Sign Plan a fee will be
required.
The current sign submission is not consistent with the Comprehensive Sign Plan. Therefore a fee in the amount of
$129.00, needs to be submitted with the next packet. The amount of that fee is specified near the bottom of the
Application Check List under "ARB Review" where it says "YES (This sign will be constructed in an Entrance Corridor and
it does not meet the conditions of a Comprehensive Sign Review. See ARB requirements next pages.)"
Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Thank you,
