Consider Improvements to Park and Library Signage
The 2008 work plan includes discussion of installing a permanent electronic
message center in City Center Park as a means of improving communication
with residents. The location for the proposed sign is the northeast intersection of
West 78th Street and Kerber Boulevard, just outside the Fireplace Room in the
Library. Currently we utilize two portable signs with black plastic letters to
advertise community events. These signs require transportation from storage
each time they are used in addition to changing the letters that make up the
message. We know these signs are effective in communicating news of
upcoming events to our residents; however, some consider these signs to be
"outdated" or even "tacky."
We contacted Sign Source - Attracta, a local sign supplier, to assist us in
studying alternatives to the old style trailer signs. They recommend we consider
a Daktronic Communication Package including a 32-inch by 119-inch message
board with the capability of displaying four lines of 6-inch amber letters or one
line of 25-inch letters mounted on a brick monument and footing. This sign
would be similar to the message centers at Chapel Hill Academy and the
American Legion. The approximate cost of this style and size of message center
is $28,000.
Installation of an electronic message center at this location would require a
conditional use permit and a variance. The variance would allow a message area
exceeding 25% of the total sign area, placement of a message center within the
50-foot setback from an intersection, and placement of a second ground sign
within 300 feet from any other ground sign on the parcel. The message area of
the sign proposed is 45% of the total sign area, the proposed location is
approximately 35 feet from the intersection and the existing ground sign near the
driveway to the library is approximately 230 feet away.
A variety of documents supporting this item are attached, including the proposal
from Sign Source - Attracta, an image of one of the signs currently in use, two
images of the proposed location for the message center, and excerpts from the
city code addressing electronic message centers. Mr. Greg Rendall, representing
Sign Source - Attracta will be available at the work session to answer any
questions concerning the Daktronic message center product.
The City ot Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play.
