Ms. Super,
Attached please find the comments for ARB201600137 Grit Coffee Bar—Sign.
I've also attached copies of the Stonefield Town Center Comprehensive Sign Plan (CSP) sign criteria.
I apologize for the sign review taking longer than we normally prefer. Our reviews are currently backed up
because of a temporary reduction in review staff and a large influx in applications.
There was also the issue with your sign being installed without approval, which is a zoning violation, and they
do not meet some of the CSP criteria.
Therefore, I had to discuss the signs with other reviewers and get permission to allow some variability from
the CSP unless we were going to require you to take down the signs already installed and have new signs
made.
Once you read the comments you will see that we have given you some allowances, to avoid another set of
signs of the correct size being required, and therefore hopefully you will feel the delayed review was
beneficial.
Please address the comments listed in the attached letter so that we will have a sign plan that includes all of
the information we need.
Thank you,

The blade sign was around 7 feet high.With all the awnings and canopies out there 9 feet doesn't seem to work well.
The blade signs disappear under the canopies.

Stewart,
Did you measure the height to the bottom of the projecting sign as well?
Even if Margaret agrees that they can do the things different from the sign plan they will still need to do at
least one round of edits for their sign plans. They are not yet showing all the info we now require to be on the
sign plan itself. A change from the way things were doing before.
Thanks,

Thank you! That helps a lot.
I think I can probably support things thing, but I will double check with Margaret first.

Patty;
I went out there and fished my tape measurer up to the sign. It is a little over 8 inches to the top of the sign band and 8
inches above the awning.8 inches instead of 10 inches. I measured a few other signs out there the same way that were
in that area. Found 2 that were 7 inches to the top of the sign band or the awning. Nothing glaring out there. It all looks
uniform.Close enough. I'm not going to worry about 2 inches. It's just not noticeable.
Thanks
Stewart

Stewart,
For my review of the GRIT Coffee Bar I did a site visit today.
First,the signs are already on the building despite not being approved yet.
Second, it is not on the corner of the building that they had marked in their submission.
This is my first circumstance like this.
What happens?
Thanks,
