Hello Adria,
Yes, I'm happy to help you out with this by looking up the Mattress Firm CoA. Unfortunately, the sign application for
Mattress Firm (passed in 2016) did not provide a color sample of the raceway — it just included a note stating that the
raceway would match the wall color as per the ARB criteria. I say "unfortunately," because looking at a Google Street
View of the store, it's apparent that the raceway doesn't match the wall color very closely and is therefore rather visible
behind the white text:
fi le:///I:/D EPT/Comm unity%20Developm entIPlanni ng%20D ivi si on/Design%20Planni ng/ARB/action%201etter/2017/Signs/ARB%202017-44%20TM obi I e/ARB201... 2/9
6/22/2017 ARB2017-44 Correspondence 7.htm
That's why it's important for us to see the colors of the raceways proposed before they are installed. It may be that this is
the closest color to the existing brick that the applicants could get at the time; I imagine you would know more about
what options are available in raceway colors than I do, however.
Let me know how else I can help you. I've been in touch with Bob Pingry, who has sent an email verifying that the light
fixture on the southwest tower will be removed so that the proposed T -Mobile channel letter sign can be centered
vertically and horizontally in the architectural element, thereby complying with the ARB CSP. All I will need, now, in order
to approve the CoA and sign off on the building permits, are revised drawings showing correct placement of the signage.

Hello Adria,
I am sorry, but I am unable to answer your question to the detail you would like, as a matching paint color would depend
on the color of the existing brick. I suggest you or your client take a Pantone color chart with you/him or her to the site
and verify which color comes closest to the brick that is on the building. We have a Pantone paint chart here in our office
if you'd like to stop by and borrow it.

Hi Adria,
All Comprehensive Sign Plans can be found on the ARB website:
http://www.albemarle.org/department.asp?department=cdd&relpage=4214
The one for Town and Country is listed on that website:
07800-00-00-009CO I Town & Country Shopping Center
All that the Comprehensive Sign Plan for Town & Country says in regards to Raceway color is that it should "match wall
color." If the wall is comprised of bricks, then your client will need to find a paint color that closely matches those
particular bricks.

Hello Adria,
Thank you for sending me the attached revisions; unfortunately, additional changes will be needed in order for the
proposed signage to comply with ARB criteria and standards. Please see the attached letter for further clarification.
In short, the revised proposal does not vertically center the T -Mobile wall sign in the southeastern corner tower on the
south elevation (which faces Rt. 250, the Entrance Corridor). To comply with the Town & Country Comprehensive Sign
Review, the sign must be centered. That means the light fixture that is currently centered in the tower (and which was
not approved by the ARB in the final site plan) will need to be relocated. I have stated as much in the letter that I am
attaching here, and I have posted in today's mail a copy of that letter to the property owners on record as well as to you.
Please let me know if you have any concerns or questions.

Thank you, Bob.
I noticed that my previous email to you included a rather important mistake: I said the "southwestern" tower, but I meant
southeastern. The south elevation (facing Rt. 250) of the easternmost tower is the one which has a light placed in the wall
area where the T -Mobile sign should be placed in order to comply with the ARB criteria established in the Town &
Country CSP. Please remove the light on the south fagade of the eastern tower, not the southwestern tower as I
mistakenly wrote earlier.

Good afternoon, Bob,
Thank you for your telephone calls this afternoon. As I stated in my return voicemail message and then in our
conversation, the CoA for T Mobile's panel on the monument sign has been approved, and to clarify a
misunderstanding: no, just because Mattress Firm's panel sign on the monument sign is non-compliant with
the ARB -approved Comprehensive Sign Plan does not mean that future tenants will not be able to erect panel
signs on the existing monument sign until Mattress Firm's violation is rectified. Current and future tenants can
apply for wall and panel signs regardless of other tenants, and may expect CoAs for designs that comply with
the Comprehensive Sign Plans established for the building and for the freestanding monument sign.
In regards to T Mobile's request for a wall sign on the southwestern tower of the building, once the existing
light fixture has been removed (which was installed without ARB approval) and the sign can be centered
vertically and horizontally in that wall space between the brick soldier course above the top of the awning
and the brick sills of the second -story windows, then the proposed sign will be compliant with the ARB's
Comprehensive Sign Plan for the Town & Country Shopping Center. I will need an email from you stating
your intention to remove the light fixture so that the sign can be placed accordingly, and then I will need
Adria at Hightech signs to resubmit revised drawings that show the sign in its proper location. I will need both
of these items before I can issue a CoA and sign off on the building permits.

Hello Adria,
Unfortunately, these revised drawings still do not comply with the Comprehensive Sign Plan that requires that wall signs
be centered horizontally and vertically above the awning and below the second story windows. I have attached an
illustration that I just threw together to demonstrate what centered vertically and horizontally would look like; I hope the
illustration will be of assistance to you. Another means of achieving vertical centeredness is to count the number of brick
rows between the soldier course of bricks above the top of the awning and below the window sills and make sure that an
equal number of brick rows exists between the top of the sign and the bottom of the window sills and between the top of
the soldier course of bricks above the awning and the bottom of the sign.
Please note that the current light fixture in that wall area (above the soldier course of bricks above the awning and below
the second story windows) was installed without ARB approval and specifically where the Comprehensive Sign Plan
delineated any wall signs should be mounted. The sign cannot be centered until the issue of the light fixture is resolved. I
am unable to approve any CoAs until the sign proposal comes into compliance with the regulations established by the
Comprehensive Sign Plan. That means that something needs to be done about the light fixture.
I placed a call to your office Wednesday at 11 a.m. I would appreciate speaking with you over the telephone as I might be
able to better clarify the revisions necessary for this proposal to comply and necessary for you to receive a CoA for this
sign's installation.
Thank you.

Hello Adria,
Please find attached a Certificate of Appropriateness for the refacing of the panel sign on the existing monument sign at
Town and Country only. I have also approved the building permit for the panel sign [B2017 -01089-S]. However, I am
unable to approve the requested illuminated channel letter wall sign on the south elevation (which fronts the Entrance
Corridor) until the outstanding issue (its need to be centered in the corner tower according to the criteria established in
the Comprehensive Sign Plan) is resolved.
To clarify, the requested wall sign on the north elevation will not be visible from the Entrance Corridor and does not need
ARB review or approval. However, since you have combined the request for both wall signs in one building permit
[B2017 -01090-S], I am unable to sign off on that building permit until the issue with the south elevation is resolved. You
might consider coming in and filing a separate permit for the wall sign on the north elevation, so that you can install that
one sign in the immediate future. The sign on the south elevation still needs a CoA before any permit can be issued.
Please let me know if you have any questions or are in need of any clarification.

Attachments: ARB2017-44 CoA with approved drawing 1.pdf
Hello Adria,
Please find attached a Certificate of Appropriateness for the refacing of the panel sign on the existing monument sign at
Town and Country only. I have also approved the building permit for the panel sign [B2017 -01089-S]. However, I am
unable to approve the requested illuminated channel letter wall sign on the south elevation (which fronts the Entrance
Corridor) until the outstanding issue (its need to be centered in the corner tower according to the criteria established in
the Comprehensive Sign Plan) is resolved.
To clarify, the requested wall sign on the north elevation will not be visible from the Entrance Corridor and does not need
ARB review or approval. However, since you have combined the request for both wall signs in one building permit
[B2017 -01090-S], I am unable to sign off on that building permit until the issue with the south elevation is resolved. You
might consider coming in and filing a separate permit for the wall sign on the north elevation, so that you can install that
one sign in the immediate future. The sign on the south elevation still needs a CoA before any permit can be issued.
Please let me know if you have any questions or are in need of any clarification.
Thanks,

We would allow 2 signs. I don't have the permit in front of me to say what the square footage allowed is.

It looks like they want two signs? Is that going to be allowed?

Hey Stewart,
I did follow-up with the customer to confirm that they are proposing one sign. I believe the two photos are just showing
the different elevations from the entrance and from the road.
I will confirm that shortly.

Adria;
I am reviewing the sign permits for T -Mobile at 930 Olympia Drive on Pantops. All the information provided in the permit
package says one wall sign only, but the 2 photos suggest a second wall sign. Can you confirm whether or not there will
be a second wall sign?

Thank you for sending me the attached revisions; unfortunately, additional changes will be needed in order for the
proposed signage to comply with ARB criteria and standards. Please see the attached letter for further clarification.
In short, the revised proposal does not vertically center the T -Mobile wall sign in the southeastern corner tower on the
south elevation (which faces Rt. 250, the Entrance Corridor). To comply with the Town & Country Comprehensive Sign
Review, the sign must be centered. That means the light fixture that is currently centered in the tower (and which was
not approved by the ARB in the final site plan) will need to be relocated. I have stated as much in the letter that I am
attaching here, and I have posted in today's mail a copy of that letter to the property owners on record as well as to you.
Please let me know if you have any concerns or questions.
Thanks,

Hello Ms. Sprouse,
I am writing to you in reference to the Application and Checklist for Sign Permit which you submitted to our office for the
T -Mobile signs at the Town & Country Shopping Center on Rt. 250. The present proposal does not meet the criteria
established in that shopping center's comprehensive sign program nor the criteria established for the monument sign in
ARB2016-89. Therefore, changes are requested. For more details, please see the letter attached to this email, which has
been posted today.
You have 15 business days (i.e., until June 8, 2017) to submit the corrected documents and supporting materials so that
your application for a permit can move forward. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at this
email address or at my telephone number below.
