HomeMy WebLinkAbout#06 - Sunfish Lake Park Sign STAFF REPORT
DATE: May 1, 2018
REGULAR
ITEM #: 7
MOTION
TO: City Council
FROM: Ben Prchal, City Planner
AGENDA ITEM: Sign for Sally Manzara Nature Center
REVIEWED BY: Emily Becker, Planning Director
BACKGROUND:
Representatives of the Sally Manzara Nature Center reached out to City staff inquiring about adding
signage for their nature center. Staff recommend adding a third bar to the current entrance sign for
Sunfish instead of installing a new sign. Staff was able to find the manufacturer of the original signs and
put the two in touch to create a rendering for review. There were a few factors that played into this
recommendation. Staff took into considered that the organization has limited funding and this option
would be less costly than erecting a new sign, this also eliminates having multiple signs, and it would
maintain constancy.
PROPOSAL:
The nature center is requesting permission from the City to allow them to purchase a separate bar of their
own to add to the current Sunfish Lake Park sign. Does the City Council have an issue or further comment
related to this proposal?
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is not expected to be a fiscal impact to the City.
STAFF AND PARKS COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Staff feels that it would be appropriate to allow the addition of a third bar to the current Sun Fish Lake sign
as it is an added amenity to the park and this will maintain consistency for signage. The Parks Commission
has reviewed the graphic and was in support of the addition. There was also the mention of moving the
Nature Center to the top and putting the park hours on the bottom. Staff is recommending approval as
shown in the included rendering.
“Motion to approve purchase and installment of the sign as it has been presented by the Sally
Manzara Nature Center”
OPTIONS:
1) Recommend approval of the additional bar.
2) Recommend denial of the additional bar.
ATTACHMENTS:
