MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: 07/12/04 MEETING DATE: 07/20/04 <br /> TO: Chair Stromgren & Planning Commission embers <br /> FROM: Susan M.H. Hall, Assistant City Manager <br /> SUBJECT: Silverwood Sign Plan <br /> Requested Action: <br /> Review the sign plan recently submitted to the City by the Three River Park-District for <br /> Silverwood, located at County Road E and Silver Lake Road. On July 20, the Planning <br /> Commission will hold a concept review on the plan. On August 17, the Planning <br /> Commission will hold a public hearing, with the request going to the City Council on <br /> August 24. <br /> Background: <br /> The Three Rivers Park District is gearing up to open walking trails on the former <br /> Salvation Army Camp Site, now called Silverwood, in mid September. The District staff <br /> is gearing up for this and has submitted a signage plan (see attached). They would like <br /> to install the signs within the next couple of months. <br /> Three types of signs are proposed for the site: (1) boundary signs; (2) directional signs; <br /> and (3) Temporary Park Entrance sign. All of the signs fit under the sign ordinance, with <br /> the exception of the directional signs proposed. The maximum size for a directional sign <br /> is 5 square feet; the proposed directional sign measures 8 square feet; thus, a variance <br /> of 3 square feet for each sign is necessary. One of the proposed directional signs is <br /> shown north of County Road E in the City of New Brighton. That sign would need New <br /> Brighton's approval. <br /> Attachments: <br /> • Letter from Three Rivers Park District <br /> • Sign Plan <br />
