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