RE: ARB-2017-134: Colonial Auto Center pole sign refacing
Dear Mr. Smith,
We have received your above -referenced sign application. As this parcel is located within the Entrance
Corridor Overlay District, this sign proposal is subject to review by the County's Architectural Review
Board. 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. A site plan showing the location of the existing pole sign.
3. Dimensions of the sign indicated on the sign drawing, including overall height from ground;
cabinet size, length, width, and depth; and base size.
4. As the proposed cabinet sign is internally illuminated, indicate on the drawing which areas of the
sign are opaque and which are translucent. Internally illuminated cabinet signs must have
opaque backgrounds. (Opaque materials don't allow light to pass through. When lit from behind,
the color of an opaque material cannot be detected nor can objects be seen through it.)
5. An electrical permit and associated fee for the internally lit cabinet sign. Please include
manufacturer cut sheets describing illumination type, intensity, style, shielding, color, and height.
All lighting must meet ordinance requirements as outlined in Section 4.17 of the Zoning
Ordinance.
6. Identification of proposed materials and colors indicated on the sign drawing. Include standard
id numbers (i.e., Pantone, Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, et. al.) for all materials, text,
graphics, base, faces, trim caps, returns, etc.
Please re -submit your sign drawings, including the missing information. (You may email the revised
drawings to me at hmcmahongalbemarle.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,
9dPb(-'*-*r
