ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 14, 201310 <br /> <br />gateway sign be about 50% larger, roughly 15 feet wide by 9 feet tall at the highest point. Mr. <br />Higgins estimated that this sign would cost approximately $24,070 to manufacture and install. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer <br />indicated that staff also met with Mr. Tamble at the site to <br />discuss landscaping around the sign. With the natural setting and lack of water for an irrigation <br />system, Mr. Tamble is suggesting limestone rock outcroppings cascading down the slight incline <br />from the sign location with some plants and shrub material that are more draught tolerant. Mr. <br />Tamble estimates $7,500 should be budgeted for landscaping. This cost would be reduced with <br />City cHe requested the Council discuss the matter further and direct staff on how to <br />proceed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Werner <br /> asked if the sign would be slanted to face the west for viewing. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer <br /> discussed how the sign would be positioned at the intersection. <br />He explained that some of the vegetation would have to be cleared out and mowed down to assist <br />in making the sign more visible. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes <br /> commented that she was not in favor of putting a sign at this corner of <br />the intersection given the poor visibility. She recommended the sign be located near the office <br />building. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung <br /> opposed the gateway sign and expressed concern with the growing <br />size, scale and expense of the project. He suggested that the expense for the sign be invested in <br /> <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br /> supported the gateway signs as they assisted in branding the City of <br />Arden Hills and were a priority for the Council. She suggested the sign be placed near the office <br />building as the area was already mowed. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br /> wanted to see the gateway sign move forward, however, he was not convinced this <br />corner of the intersection was the proper location. He stated he was surprised by the proposed <br />expense. <br /> <br />Councilmember Werner <br />indicated that the south side of the intersection may be a better fit for <br />the gateway sign. The sign would be in a manicured location and the size could be reduced. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br /> suggested the sign proceed on the south corner of the intersection to <br />assure it could be completed yet this fall. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer <br /> estimated the cost for the gateway sign would be reduced by half <br />if the sign were moved to the south corner of this intersection. He commented that the sign would <br />have to be pushed back from Cleveland Avenue to assure that sight lines were clear. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to <br />County Road E-2 and 35W for a cost not to exceed $17,000. The motion <br />carried (4-1) (McClung opposed). <br />
