RE: ARB-2018-80: Fifth Street Place Apartments Sign
Dear Blake,
I have reviewed the above -noted sign application. The following revisions are required to make the proposal consistent
with the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines,
1. Provide cut sheets for the ground -mounted light fixtures. Provide manufacturer's information indicating that the
fixtures emit less than 3,000 lumens.
2. The ground -mounted fixtures must be shielded by landscaping so that the fixtures are not visible from the street.
Landscaping should be used to integrate the sign into the overall landscape. Provide a landscape plan showing the
Iandscaping proposed to accomplish this screening.
These are the guidelines that still need to be. met:
• Ground mounted lighting should be shielded by landscaping so that it is not visible from any adjacent property or
right-of-way.
• Use ground cover, shrubs and/or trees to integrate freestanding signs into the overall site landscape.
• Light should be shielded, recessed or flush -mounted to eliminate glare. All fixtures with lamps emitting 3000
lumens or more must be full cutoff fixtures.
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,
9a,���
