RE: ARB -2016-89: Town & Country Freestanding Sign
Dear Ms. Kilmartin,
I have reviewed the above -noted sign application. The following revisions are requested to make the
proposal consistent with the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines.
1. Revise the sign drawing to include the following note: "The same brick and mortar manufacturer
and product ID (color), approved for the building shall be used for the sign structure."
2. Revise the sign drawing to include the following notes providing color coordination between
tenant panels:
a. "Tenant panel background colors shall be limited to white."
b. "Text colors for all tenant panels shall be limited to Red: PMS 187 and Black."
c. "There is no limit to graphic colors as long as the total per panel does not exceed 3 plus
black and white and the colors contribute to a coordinated appearance for the overall sign
structure."
3. Show the sign on the landscape plan with the sign structure integrated into the overall landscape
design with the use of additional plantings. The revised sign location requires an amendment to
the existing approved landscape plan. Approval of this sign application cannot be granted until
the amended landscape plan has been approved.
4. Provide lighting cutsheets of the proposed gooseneck style fixtures. Cutsheets should clearly
indicated manufacturer name and product ID, fixture color (black or bronze preferred), bulb type
and wattage. Lumens emitted must be less than 3,000.
5. Revise the drawing to include the following note limiting the intensity of the LED bulbs "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.
Sincerely,
Brent Nelson
Senior Planner
