The submitted sign details for the new DRB meeting are the same as presented at the August 24th DRB meeting. The reason for the resubmission is due to the color samples inaccuracy. The discrepancy in the coloring came because we submitted digitally printed samples of the colors based on the correct PMS color,which varied from the actual painted colors used on the signage. The actual colors used matched the PMS color numbers as specified, but the printed samples we submitted were inaccurate. Thus we are now submitting for approval the actual color chips for review. DESIGN REVIEW BOARD WOLF PEN CREEK DESIGN DISTRICT STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Jason Schubert, Staff Planner Report Date: January 2, 2008 E-mail: jschubert@cstx.gov Meeting Date: January 11, 2008 For CARINO'S ITALIAN GRILL (DRB) (07-00500321) Item: Presentation, possible action and discussion regarding sign details for Carino's Italian Grill located at 620 Harvey Road in the Wolf Pen Creek Zoning District. Applicant: Grant Barnby, Wakefield Signs Item Summary: Signs proposed in the Wolf Pen Creek zoning district must receive DRB approval and a sign permit to be installed. At the August 24th Design Review Board meeting, the applicant received approval for their request to replace the signage for the restaurant. After the signs were installed, Staff observed a discrepancy between the proposed and installed signs. This discrepancy involved the main background color, PMS-141, which appeared to be a brighter yellow than the gold-like color provided in the sign details and color sample (see pictures). As provided in the attachment, the applicant states that the discrepancy came because they "submitted digitally printed samples of the colors based on the correct PMS color, which varied from the actual painted colors used on the signage. The actual colors used matched the PMS color numbers as specified, but the printed samples we submitted were inaccurate." The applicant has brought this item forward to have the sign and colors approved as installed. Yellow and red color combinations in signs have consistently been a concern of the Design Review Board in the past for Wolf Pen Creek sign proposals such as Office Max, Sonic, Rudy's Texas Bar-B-Q, and Cavender's Boot City. Issues/Items for Review: 1. Signage • Design • Scale and proportion • Colors, materials, and lighting • Compatible with adjacent signs • Corporate signs Attachments: 1.

Case #07-00500321 (JS) Jason Schubert, Staff Planner, presented the item stating that this item had come before the Design Review Board on August 24th wherein the Applicant received approval for their request to replace the signage and the details thereto for a restaurant located at 620 Harvey Road in the Wolf Pen Creek Zoning District. He further explained that Staff observed a discrepancy between the proposed and installed signs, involving the main background color, PMS-141, which appeared to be a brighter yellow than the gold color originally provided by the Applicant and the Applicant has resubmitted this item to have the sign and colors approved as installed. Grant Barnby of Wakefield Signs, Applicant, answered questions in general from the Board Members, particularly the inaccuracy of the digitally printed samples of the colors presented to the Design Review Board versus the actual painted colors used on the sign. Ward Wells expressed the need to inform staff that the color difference does happen quite frequently and requested that future applicants present samples of the material instead of digitally printed color samples. Nancy Sawtelle concurred. Ward Wells motioned to approve the sign and colors as built for Carino's Italian Grill located at 620 Harvey Road located in the Wolf Pen Creek Zoning District.
