REVIEW OF DESIGN FOR ENTRY WAY SIGNS <br />Mr. Sanders reviewed the design of the entry way signs and stated that the cost per <br />sign would be approximately $30,000. Mr. Sanders also reviewed how this concept <br />could be used for secondary entry ways and also at the City's parks. 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 /> <br />The task force concluded the two entry way signs should be located along Highway <br />96. The first at the southwest corner of Highway 96 and Lexington Avenue. The <br />second at the southeast corner of Highway 96 and Interstate 35W. <br /> <br />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 />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 />
