Boston Scientific Water Sign age Discussion <br /> <br />Mr. Lchnhoff stated with the recent acquisition of Guidant by Boston Scientific, they plan to <br />replace the Guidant signage with Boston Scientific signagc. Based on a preliminary review of <br />their wall and monument sign proposal, no speeial permits will be needed because the new <br />sigtlage will not exceed the sign area or dimensions of the old signage (a regular sign permit will <br />still be required for each sign that is visible from the public right-of-way or neighboring <br />propcrties). However, Boston Scientific is considering changing the dimensions and possibly the <br />color ofthe signage on their watcr tower. <br /> <br />Dan Riehle, Facilities Manager for Boston Scientific, stated Boston Scientific had more letters <br />than Guidant did and he did not believe the sizc of the lettering \vould matter on the water tower. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated given the prominence of the water tower and the sign this needed <br />to come before Council. He askcd what was the size of the letters being proposed to be put up. . <br />Mr. Riehle responded the "13" and "S" would be bigger than 24". <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked Council if this was what they wantcd. <br /> <br />MOTION: Couneilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Pellegrin seconded a <br />motion to approve the Boston Scientific Water Tower Sign age and it be <br />dccmed an insignificant change and did not require Boston Scientific to go <br />through thc planning process. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated she was surprised the City was restrictive on other signage within <br />thc City and not on this property also. <br /> <br />The motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />8.
