Sign Design <br />At their May 21, 2012, meeting, that City Council directed Staff to work with Fourth Dimension <br />Signs and come back with a refined design for a gateway sign at County Road E and Lexington <br />Avenue. Staff met with Fourth Dimension and provided the parameters given by the Council in <br />terms of the design of the sign. Staff also reviewed gateway signs from other communities <br />around the Country. <br />Fourth Dimension reworked their designs and has provided a concept that is based on the <br />Council's May 21St discussion. The proposed sign has a slightly curved top and solid base. The <br />curves of the sign backing mimic the curves of the Arden Hills logo. The backing for the <br />lettering of the sign has been done is a slightly lighter shade than those presented at the last <br />meeting, and is of a stone finish. The base of the sign would be aluminum. The stone finishing <br />would wrap around to the back of the sign as well, though there would be no lettering on the <br />back of the sign. <br />Fourth Dimension did provide two slightly different options; one includes no side columns, and <br />the other shows what the sign would look like if metal columns were included. The purpose of <br />the two iterations is to show Council options of what might be possible. Either design can be <br />altered further if the Council deems it necessary. <br />Fourth Dimension has been asked to provide a cost estimate for the sign. The quote would also <br />include the cost of providing LED lighting at the base of the sign. The quote should be ready to <br />present to the Council at the Monday work session. <br />Attachments <br />Proposed Sign Design from Fourth Dimension <br />City of Arden Hills <br />June 16, 2012, Work Session Meeting <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
