Hellegers (E-mail) <br /> Cc: Greg Fenton (E-mail); Dave. Peterson (E.mail) <br /> Subject: Monument Sign Alternate <br /> Peter, <br /> Attached are two (2) drawings. The first one is single line sketch of the revised sign. The second is the site <br /> drawing that depicts the revised location of the revised sign. <br /> Here is what we are proposing to change: <br /> 1. Raise grad~ We will reduce the size of the sign by raising the grade under the sign so that only 1 foot of brick <br /> is exposed above the limestone rubble. <br /> 2. RJ1Quce text size. We will reduce the size of each text letter by 1" (from 10" to 9" and from 8" to 7"). This <br /> alone will reduce the size of the sign by 15" in height. <br /> 3. Rgduce O\lerall sion. We propose to reduce the overall size of the sign by 145 s.t. The current mock.up is 330 <br /> s.t. and the new sign is proposed at 185 s.f. <br /> 4.' 2-sided sign. The revised sign would be 2-sided, as opposed to the single-sided mock-up. This will allow <br /> better visibility of the sign from both directions on Hwy 96 and from Hamline Avenue at the Hwy 96 intersection. <br /> . The current mock-up is not visible traveling east on Hwy 96. <br /> ~_' ReDosition th\Lsignl!l-,,-ation. We propose to mount the 2-sided sign parallel with Hwy 96 approximately 180' <br /> west of Hamline Avenue. This will allow better visibility of the sign from both directions on Hwy 96 and from <br /> Hamline Avenue at the Hwy 96 intersection. The current mock.up is not visible traveling east on Hwy 96. <br /> I believe the reduced size, the 2-sided sign, and the revised position of the sign will better meet the needs of the <br /> facility, while addressing some of the concerns regarding the current mock-up sign. <br /> I will have additional drawings that provide a better visual description of the revised sign and its location in time for <br /> the meeting on April 6. <br /> <<Monument sign alternate 3.30.05.pdf>> <<Monument sign alternate location 3.30.05.pdf>> <br /> Bruce Th.:mlpson, Ass;stanl Oileelor <br /> Ramsey CI)vn"y PIO/W;(ly Managemenl <br /> 50 West Kel!c9g Blvd. Suite G60 <br /> Sailll Pau( MN 55102 <br /> Phone- (651) 206-2262 <br /> Fax: (60/) 266-??ti-1 <br /> . <br /> 3/30/2005 <br />
