RE: Rejection of Application: ARB-2017-18: Helix - Sign
Dear Mr. O'Brien,
Fax (434) 972-4012
We have received your above -referenced sign application. Your application was incomplete. We cannot
begin review until the missing information is submitted. The following items were missing from your
submittal:
1. The sign is within the Entrance Corridor (EC) and therefore must meet EC requirements. Please see the list of
required information on the "Application and Checklist for Sign Permit" under "Entrance Corridor
Requirements:" and supply the information listed.
2. An application fee is required for signs within the EC for buildings that do not have a previously approved
Comprehensive Sign Plan (CSP). This building does not have a CSP and therefore the $129 ARB Review
application fee is required.
3. Two different sign layouts were submitted. Only one sign layout may be submitted for each sign.
4. The height of each line of text must be provided in dimensions or notes.
5. The Pantone equivalent color numbers, or a color sample, for each color used in the sign must be provided. Even
if a color sample is provided, the color formula number and name for each color in the sign must be included in
the sign plan.
6. Please note that ARB Sign Guideline 4.e specifies that three colors or less should be used in signs, including black
and white, unless any additional colors contribute to a balanced/unified sign design. Both designs that have been
submitted exceed three colors.
7. Specify the type of illumination for the sign, even if it is existing.
8. If existing ground mounted lighting will be used to illuminate the sign add a note to the sign plan that states,
"Existing ground mounted lighting to remain. Any change to the illumination type or intensity must first obtain
ARB approval and an approved electrical permit." If the sign will not be illuminated then a note should state,
"This sign has been approved as a non -illuminated sign (no lighting). To add lighting, the applicant must first
obtain ARB approval and an approved electrical permit."
9. Since the sign application was found to be incomplete, a full review has not yet been done. Additional comments
may be made once a complete submission is received.
Please re -submit your sign drawings, including the missing information. (You may email the revised
drawings to me at psaternye(&_albemarle.ory or send the copies by U.S. mail.) If the missing items are
received within 15 days of the date of this letter, we will proceed with review, and the submittal date will
be adjusted according to the date of your resubmittal. If the missing items are not received within 15 days
of the date of this letter, the application will be denied and a new fee will be required to submit a new
application.
If you have any questions about this process, feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
i G✓
