RE: ARB-2017-10: Sparrow Hill Subdivision Sign
Dear Mr. Rector,
Fax (434) 972-4126
I have reviewed the above -noted sign applications. The following revisions are requested to make the
proposal consistent with the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines.
1. Revise the sign plan to specify the materials of each component including the sign, the bar that
supports the sign and the monument base.
2. Revise the sign plan to specify the colors of each component including the sign, the bar that
supports the sign and the monument base. In the case of the veneer on the monument base
provide information on the veneer to be used including the vendor, the veneer name, and a color
graphic provided by the vendor showing its colors. Be aware that there should only be three or
less colors utilized.
3. Revise the sign plan so that all of the sheets show the sign in the same orientation. The
landscaping sheet and sheet 2 appear to show the sign rotated 90 degrees in comparison to the rest
of the sign plan, including the rendered image on the landscaping sheet.
4. Revise the sign plan so that sheets 2, 3 & 4 show the sign at the correct scale and location.
5. Revise the sign plan so that the landscaping does not cross the right of way line and the location
of the existing fence is shown.
6. Revise the Landscape plan so that the table specifying the plantings includes the text "Quantity"
above the appropriate column.
7. Revise the sign plan so that the sign, and the monument base, meet the setback requirements for
signs in an R-1 zone. Provide dimensions showing that that ordinance will be met.
8. Revise the sign plan to include dimensions for the text height of both lines of text on the sign.
9. Either provide a note specifying that there will be no internal or external illumination of the sign
or provide all required information on any illumination.
10. Revise the page numbers so that they each have the correct number. The third and fourth sheets
in the sign plan are not numbered correctly.
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,
PaV Saternye
