Mr. Sanders also reviewed how this concept could be used for secondary entry ways and also at the City's parks. The task force concluded that the proposed style of sign could be incorporated into other signage that the City may choose to build in the future. The task force concluded that in the future that further design studies could be done with these other signs to more fully refine their designs. The task force concluded the two entry way signs should be located along Highway 96. The first at the southwest comer of Highway 96 and Lexington Avenue. The second at the southeast corner of Highway 96 and Interstate 35W. The task force reviewed samples provided Mr. Sanders of various materials and colors which could be used for the sign and the retaining walls. In regards to the sign face, the task force concluded that a monolithic cast stone (8 inches wide) in a light gray with recessed black letters would be most aesthetically pleasing. The task force also concluded that an"anti-graffiti" coating should be applied to the sign. The cost of this coating is estimated at $.10 per square foot every three years.
