TD Ameritrade sign
Hello, Pete and Beth.
Thanks for your questions on the TD Ameritrade sign. I'm providing some answers and clarification, as we discussed on
the phone today.
1. Regarding the light fixture cut sheets, illumination type, and intensity, this information is only needed for external
light fixtures. The sign application/checklist should have been updated to make this clear, but it was not. We'll make
that correction this week. I'm sorry for the confusion.
2. In this case, given that we are working with guidelines and that the current view from the EC is somewhat restricted,
the comment on letter size ("the letters are too small for the sign band") can be taken as a recommendation; it is not a
requirement.
3. The ARB revised the CSP for Rivanna Ridge in 2016 to allow logos for businesses other than Giant. The change was
documented in the Jimmy John's sign application file, but the CSP document was not updated. That's my fault. I
apologize for the confusion.
4. Determining how much "centering" of a sign is required can be tricky when the sign contains multiple and different
parts. In this case, given that we are working with guidelines and that the current view from the EC is somewhat
restricted, I think there is enough flexibility available to allow the centering as proposed.
I think this just leaves the note about miIliamps to be added to the sign drawing. ("The level of illumination provided by
the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon.")
If you have other questions or if I can provide further clarification, please let me know.
Thanks.
Margaret
