RE: ARB-2018-15: Integrity Auto & Diesel sign refacing
Dear Mr. Schuyler,
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). Your property does not have a Comprehensive Sign and
therefore does not qualify for a waived fee.
2. Dimensions of the sign indicated on the sign drawing, including overall height from ground;
cabinet size, length, width, and depth; and base size.
3. 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.)
4. If you intend to light the sign, an electrical permit and associated fee for the internally lit cabinet
sign is required regardless of whether an electrical apparatus already exists in the cabinet. Please
include manufacturer cut sheets describing illumination type, intensity, style, shielding, color,
and height of the proposed lighting. All lighting must meet ordinance requirements as outlined in
Section 4.17 of the Zoning Ordinance.
5. Identification of proposed materials (i.e., acrylic) of the sign indicated on the sign drawing.
6. A complete landscape plan that lists the quantity, species, and height at planting of the proposed
plants. Please note that shrubs planted within the EC must be planted at a 24-inch minimum.
Please re -submit your sign drawings, including the missing information. (You may email the revised
drawings to me at hmcmahon@albemarle.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,
Heather McMahon, Senior Planner
