AGENDA ITEM — 3B ,-ARZEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: April 22, 2024 TO: EDA President and Commissioners Dave Perrault, City Administrator FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Gateway Signs Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: N/A N/A EDA President and Commissioners Should Consider Funding Source: N/A The EDA President and Commissioners should discuss and provide direction to City staff on next steps for the potential future installation of gateway signs. Background At the October 24, 2022 meeting, the EDA President and Commissioners discussed the future installation of gateway signs. Initially in 2018 there were six potential locations for gateway signs with Highway 96 and Lexington Avenue being identified as the priority location. A conceptual design and cost analysis was prepared by WSB for this location (Attachment E). During the 2022 meeting, the President and Commissioners discussed possible locations and added Lake Valentine Road at 35W to the list of potential locations. Staff was given direction to conduct a comprehensive review of potential locations and bring back a list of sites to the EDA for further discussion. Included with this memo are maps that identify existing, previously identified, and potentially new gateway sign locations (Attachment B). It should be noted that with some of the previously identified and new locations that the City may not have sufficient right-of-way for placement of a gateway sign. The City would need to acquire additional right-of-way or obtain an easement from the Property Owner for installation. These are merely potential locations selected at a high-level for consideration. Based on the EDA's direction, an analysis for feasibility would need to be conducted. The 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Plan has benchmarks for the construction of gateway signs in 2025 and 2027 (Attachment A). Based on this information, staff seeks direction from the EDA on handling gateway signs. Page 1 of 2
