Heather,
My apologies... it is a tanish/grey color to compliment the sample picture I sent you of the precast. It will be pantone
7530. The background will be the precast I sent you already that you approved.
Thanks,

Hello Travis,
Thank you for submitting the landscape plan.
Your last revised drawing, dated 8/2/17, states that the 36" x 20" precast sign with sandblasted letters and logo would be
painted "Taupe — Tan background" yet your last email provides Pantone numbers for three different gray values. Please
clarify whether you are:
a) no longer using taupe and tan;
b) whether the background will be painted one color and the letters another;
c) what the background value will be versus the letter color if the two will be different.
In addition, please revise the drawing to correctly reflect your final color choices. Add the Pantone numbers to the
drawing.
Once I receive a corrected proof that correctly reflects your color choices, I can review the application. I will let you know
when I sign off on the permit, which, yes, you can pick up in person at out intake desk.
Thank you,

Heather,
Here is the landscape plan for Wintergreen/Oak Hill Farm. You can see the columns in the midst of the landscaping. Also
the color painted in the blasted precast will be one of the following... Grey Pantone 427C, 428C or 429C... we are not sure
how dark we are going to go until the precast is blasted.
Please let me know if this will finally release the permit and let me know if I can pick that up in person.
Thank you,
Travis Cole

Hi Travis,
As I understand it,this material (precast concrete, correct?) will be sandblasted into the Oak Hill Farm sign and logo--is
that correct?Your latest drawing states that the "precast letters and design"will be "sandblasted and painted"--what is
the color of the paint your propose?
Please provide that information with a standard ID for the paint color; I will accept these images of the sandblasted
precast concrete in lieu of any color identification for the sign background.

Heather,
Attached is the precast for the sign...this is the color. It would be sand blasted down. Unfortunately our supplier does
not have an online catalog..only hard samples. May this picture work for approval? If not I will need to drive the sample
out to you..but I can't leave it I would need to bring it back that same day. Let me know.
Thanks,

Here is the spec'd out column detail for you. I am working on trying to get a landscape plan as I believe that is the last of

Hello Travis,
Thank you for the revised site plan which shows the proposed sign distances from the ROW.To answer your question,
your previous submitted site plan reads"LE 10= 10' landscaping and signage easement (HOA),"which led Stewart and I
to question whether there was an easement on this strip of land, and if there is,whether the easement holder is aware
of the proposed sign placement?The request for a letter from the easement holder on our application is a courtesy to
the applicants,to make them aware that proposed development on lands under easement need prior permission by the
easement holder. If there is no easement on this strip of land,then no permission (i.e., no letter from the easement
holder) is necessary to attain.
I look forward to receiving your revised sketch and landscape plan.
Thanks,

I have a new sketch I'm going to send. Hopefully I can get the landscape plan from the engineer soon as well.The check
was sent out yesterday and I will have the detailed color sketch shortly.
One final question.The signs are not in an easement so why do I need a letter from the easement holder?

Good morning,Travis,
Thank you for sending a revised site plan, but as Stewart has already noted,the distance of the proposed signs from the
VDOT right-of-way is still needed.
As for your other questions,yes, a conceptual landscape plan is required for all freestanding sign proposals, as per the
application; even a sketch would suffice as long as your planting intentions are reflected in the sketch and the plant
species are named. Similarly, colors and their standard color identification numbers(whether you use Pantone,
Benjamin Moore, 3M,Sherwin Williams or another standard paint manufacturer for which we have paint chips for
comparative analysis) are also required.As I stated explicitly in my letter, material samples for the proposed CMU,
precast concrete,and stone veneer are not necessary; however,your color proof should provide the standard color
identification numbers as well as color swatches printed on the drawing at the very least.
As a courtesy, I have attached to this email an example of a sign application package that has included all of the
information requested in the application.
Let me know if you have further questions.

Here is the updated placement showing them out of the site distance.Also I do not think they have a landscape plan set
up yet...will this hold up our permit?
I am working on the letter from landowner.
As for sample..the sign is cast precast which as you can imagine is not easy to do a quick sample..can I email a full color
proof?

Kristopher,
I am working with John and Jeremy on the Oak Hill subdivision signage. I just got a call today from Stewart Wright(ccd
on this email)...he noted"at it seems the columns are in the SDE VAR site distance easement. Can you show a more
detailed plan showing they are not...or if they are we need them to be relocated?Also can you send over the exact
setbacks form pavement and property line?
Stewart,
There will only be one sign on the right hand column as you pull in.
Thanks,

Hi Travis,
Yes,the site is just within the EC overlay area and it is visible from Old Lynchburg Road (which is an EC); I made a site
visit out there yesterday just to confirm that,which is why it took me a few days to respond to your application.
Yes, please drop off any physical samples to our reception and let them know it's for me. Any supporting documents you
have digitally you can email to me.And please tell the engineer to either email me the revised site plan or also drop off
copies at our reception.
