Box 646 Orange, VA 22960 RE: ARB-2017-86: Piedmont Power Sign (refacing) Dear Mr. Rickett, I have reviewed the above -noted sign applications and I took the sign application to the Architectural Review Board meeting on October 2, 2017 for further guidance. The following revisions are requested to make the proposal consistent with the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines. 1. The use of the orange color (PMS 1645) is not in general accord with the Sign Guidelines, which prohibits overly intense colors (Section 4e). A darker hue of orange is requested. 2. The Sign Guidelines recommend the use of three colors or less (black and white count as colors). This sign utilizes five colors; please reduce the number of colors to comply with the guidelines. 3. The Sign Guidelines recommend the use of three typefaces or less. This sign utilizes seven typefaces; please reduce the number of typefaces to comply with the guidelines. 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. Sincerely, px� Heather McMahon Senior Planner hmcmahon(kalbemarle.org 434-296-5832 x3278 cc: ARB-2017-86 L.F.

Box 646 Orange, VA 22960 RE: ARB-2017-86: Piedmont Power Sign (refacing) Dear Mr. Rickett, 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 fee for ARB Review ($129) 2. Identification of proposed materials and colors. Include standard color id numbers (Pantone, Benjamin Moore, etc.) for all of the materials, text, graphics, etc. 3. Indicate whether the sign is internally illuminated or not. If it is, indicate which areas of the sign are opaque and which are illuminated. Internally illuminated cabinet signs must have opaque backgrounds. (Opaque materials don't allow light to pass through. When lit only from behind, the color of an opaque material cannot be detected nor can objects be seen through it.) Please re -submit your sign drawings, including the missing information. (You may email the revised drawings to me at hmcmahonkalbemarle.org 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, 9dibe-l-, Heather McMahon Senior Planner hmcmahon(kalbemarle.org 434-296-5832 x3278 cc: ARB-2017-86 L.F.
