In regards to the <br /> 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 /> 1 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 /> .. <br /> I <br /> ------ <br />
