Hi Brian,
Per your email I have addressed the 4 items you asked with regard to our office signage in Vail Village. Your
email is included in this chain,however,here are the questions/answers:
Additional Information Needed from Applicant:
1. We need to see the mullion dimensions in order to properly calculate the "window area" (see E. 2. Below) Mull
dimensions:
The north and east facing window (12 windows and 9 windows respectfully)—the vertical and horizontal
mulls are 3 3/4".
The northern-most set of 4 windows facing east are 3 3/4"vertical and 3 3/8" horizontal. The east
facing window to the south is 3 3/4" vertical and 3 3/" horizontal.
2. Based on outcome of mullion dimensions the "window area" needs to be shown in sq. ft. and then the
proposed signage as a ratio of that "window area" shown in sq.ft. and then expressed as a %to determine if
compliant with the 15% maximum requirement.All windows have been shown in the attached documents
relative to their size and percent of coverage.
3. It appears there is a door logo as well—not sure if that is existing or proposed, but the same information as
above will be needed for that graphic if part of this application. This is a logo for an internal door—not part of
the application— my apologies.
4. Please confirm the proposed lettering is white vinyl and if there is a background to the lettering or not.The
lettering is white vinyl.
Thank you, please let me know if you have further questions.

Hi Michael,
I'm in receipt of your application for Desi�n Review Si�n Application submitted last week.The code is
very specific about window signs and tells us what is needed to review and approve an application and
I've distilled the relevant info below to help better outline what precisely is needed for us to review.
Before we can move forward, I will need a little more information from Impact Graphics and Signs to
determine if it will be compliant with Vail's sign code.
Additional Information Needed from Applicant:
1. We need to see the mullion dimensions in order to properly calculate the "window area" (see E.
2. Below)
2. Based on outcome of mullion dimensions the "window area" needs to be shown in sq. ft. and
then the proposed signage as a ratio of that "window area" shown in sq. ft. and then expressed
as a %to determine if compliant with the 15% maximum requirement.
3. It appears there is a door logo as well—not sure if that is existing or proposed, but the same
information as above will be needed for that graphic if part of this application.
