SIGN CONTROL BOARD PAGE 2
DECEMBER 10, 2001
REGULAR AGENDA:
3. Consider renewal of 64 sq. ft. Class 4 Temporary Sign for Bradford Companies located on
Watters Road on the Twin Creeks Commercial property
Ms. Sally Leeper stated that the sign is in poor repair and recommended denial of the renewal.
MOTION: Upon a motion by Board Member Spivey and a second by Board Member Moore,
the Board voted 5 FOR and 0 OPPOSED to deny the renewal for Bradford
Companies located on Watters Road on the Twin Creeks Commercial property
4. Consider Subdivision Entry Signs for Malone Community Park (renamed to Celebration
Park).
Ms. Leeper presented the request to the Board and Mr. Brian Bristow was available for questions.
The following concerns were expressed by the Board:
• Needs of the park in relation to the residential community surrounding it should be
considered.
• The size of the identification signs is excessive, and with the name changing to
' Celebration they could get larger.
• Depth of one foot appears to be attractive to small children to climb on.
• Lighting of the sign should be ground only, shining on the sign.
• It was noted that the traffic engineer and lighting consultant have addressed issues
brought up at the public meetings.
• Visibility triangle will be adhered to.
• Smaller dimensions would be better, with possibly an 8-9 foot star.
• The concept of the star was positive.
• Mr. Bristow suggested the idea of removing the star from the structure and making it a
separate artistic element on its own in the event a consensus could not be reached with the
current design. A positive response was given to this concept.
Chairman Jones suggested the item could be tabled to allow for a public meeting at the
January meeting. It was noted that this would be held in the evening on Tuesday, January 7,
2002. A sign should be posted on the property notifying residents of the meeting.
MOTION: Upon a motion by Board Member Brown and a second by Board Member Moore,
the Board voted 5 FOR and 0 OPPOSED to table consideration for the Malone
Park (Celebration Park) signage until January 7, 2002, at 7:30 p in The motion
carried.
