Otherwise, once I receive your response, I will make a note on the revised drawing that you intend to use only point as the material. However, as per #5 in my email response (below), I will still need a revised landscape plan that states which species of "Broadleaved Evergreen/Semi-Evergreen Shrubs" selected from the Albemarle County Recommended Plants List you propose to plant. Thanks, Heather McMahon, Senior Planner Albemarle County Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 434-296-5832 x3278 hmcmahon@albemarle.org From: Heather McMahon Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2018 4:21 PM To: 'Kevin Schuyler' <Kschuyier@cstoneilc.com> Cc: Margaret Maliszewski <MMaliszewski aibemarle.or > Subject: RE: Integrity Auto & Diesel Sign Refacing Application Hi Kevin, Thank you for your email. In response to the points you raised below: 1. The only instance in which ARB review fees for sign applications for parcels within the Entrance Corridor overlay district is waived is when that property is a building containing multiple businesses (such as a strip mall or shopping center) and has an approved Comprehensive Sign Plan. Your property does not have a Comprehensive Sign Plan and therefore does not qualify to have the review fee waived. I'm sorry you were under a different impression, but the fee of $129 is due and must be paid for the review of your sign application to move forward. 2. Thank you for providing the dimensions of the sign on the sign drawing. I understand that this is a pre-existing sign that you are re -facing; we ask all applicants to complete the application and provide all requested information, and to be consistent, we ask that of all of our applicants, no matter the scale of the requested changes (i.e., no matter if it's a plan to reface an existing sign or erect a new sign). We also try to keep all information conveniently located in one place (i.e., on a sign drawing) so that our Code Enforcement staff can easily refer to the application to verify all approved conditions have been met. 3. Your sign application did not specify that the lighting was external, but I have made note of that. 4. Just to clarify, the actual sign is not an acrylic face you intend to apply to the white sign band within the brick frame, but you intend to point the logo within the white sign band? Is that correct? I will make that note on your application. 5. We ask for you to provide the exact species of the 7 proposed shrubs so we can determine whether their full growth height is appropriate; we wouldn't want an applicant to plant a species that grows so tall that it obscures the signagel Please choose a plant and provide that information on a revised landscape plan. Please let me know if you have further questions. Thanks, Heather McMahon, Senior Planner Albemarle County Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 434-296-5832 x3278 hmcmahon@albemarle.orR From: Kevin Schuyler [maiIto: Kschuyler@cstonellc.com] Sent: Monday, February 12, 2018 3:56 PM To: Heather McMahon <hmcmahon@albemarle.org> Subject: Integrity Auto & Diesel Sign Refacing Application Dear Ms. McMahon: I am writing in response to your letter dated February 7, 2018, attached. In response to each numbered item... 1— Given the questions below, I believe there may have been some contusion around the request 1 am making. This is merely a refacing of an existing sign, not a newly constructed sign. The refacing involves only painting the existing sign and adding the 7 new shrubs. 1 am not proposing to change its shape, size, lighting, or location. I reviewed this sign refacing application on site with Margaret two weeks ago, and I was left with the impression that in this case the ARB fee would be waived. If I mis-understood the fee, let me know and I will pay using the online payment system and send you the receipt. 2 — I have re -attached the photo of the existing sign provided with the application and have written the dimensions on it. 3 —The sign is already externally illuminated. It is not proposed to be internally illuminated. 4 —The sign is already externally illuminated. 5 —The sign is made of brick as shown in the photo with the application and attached, again, herein. I have made a note next to the photo that it is made of brick. 6 —The landscape plan is shown on the diagram included with the sign refacing application. 1 have included It herein and noted that there are to be 7 new shrubs, no less than 24" tall at planting, chosen from the species list on the Albemarle County Recommended Plants List within the category entitled "Broadleaved Evergreen/Semi-Evergreen Shrubs." Please let me know how I can be of further assistance in completing this sign application. Best regards, Kevin Kevin W.

Please note that your property does not have a Comprehensive Sign Plan and so an ARB review fee of $129 is due; review cannot commence until the fee is remitted and the missing/requested information provided.
