1 <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />ITEM NO. 5 <br />STAFF ORGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director <br />DATE OF WORK SESSION: October 2, 2023 <br />TOPIC: Gateway Design <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />BACKGROUND <br />The City Council authorized preparation of Gateway Design guidelines for key entrances into <br />the City and streetscape plans for the Hodgson Road/CR J intersection improvements. WSB <br />has completed a draft design manual and preliminary plans for the intersection. Jordan <br />Gedrose, from WSB, will be present to walk through the draft Gateway Guidelines and <br />proposed streetscape improvements. <br />Initial estimates of the streetscape components for the Hodgson/CRJ improvements are <br />approximately $500,000 of which entry monument signs are approximately $130,000. To stay <br />within budget constraints we will need to cut this back or phase in some of the proposed <br />improvements. We are also anticipating some modifications based on staff and council <br />comments. <br />Staff will be prepared to discuss optional elements that could be removed to reduce costs as <br />well discuss different entry monument options. <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION <br />Staff is requesting City Council direction on proposed design elements and comments on the <br />Gateway Guidelines. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.Draft Gateway Design Guidelines <br />2.Draft 49/J Streetscape plans
