be budgeted. He displayed internal signs, noting dollars have been set aside for Draw signage so it can be coordinated with The COR. Development Manager Lazan stated this document is a first draft and once done, Development Services Manager Gladhill will incorporate it into the framework so signage intent is clear. Commissioner Elvig asked if there can be a prototype to give a sense of scale and to assure lettering is easy to read. He asked about color coordination to depict areas of retail, restaurants, park, etc. Development Manager Lazan stated color coordination could carry through with street signs, light pole banners, etc. so you know when you have left one district and entered another. He indicated the intent is to have pedestrian scale informational signs. Commissioner Backous stated he supports the designs, likes the coordination, pedestrian designs, and agrees with the need to assure readability. He suggested the City increase the reader board on Highway 10 to assure it can be read. Development Manager Lazan advised the reader board sign is designed to expand in size. Commissioner Elvig left the meeting at 7:48 p.m. Commissioner Wise asked if the City will allow reader boards on the building. Development Services Manager Gladhill stated the general Sign Code includes dynamic wall signs and the Council will need to look at an overall Citywide sign package. He noted technology is coming forward and the City should reconsider wall signage. Commissioner Wise asked about the impact on signs as a result of the Armstrong interchange height. Development Services Manager Gladhill stated once the Armstrong interchange design is finalized, it will be brought forward as a zoning item to consider height of signage, etc. Commissioner Wise stated as a COR tenant, he does not want a metal County directional sign to be located 15 feet before his nice looking sign. Development Manager Lazan stated he has spoken with Solomon about its interim sign and there is an understanding that when Armstrong goes in, the sign will go away. He stated he will continue those discussions with Solomon. Development Manager Lazan stated he will schedule a series of meetings with Development Services Manager Gladhill to structure narratives, rework square footage allowable, draft language on shared drive /signage to quantify it, and bring the Sign Package and Design Framework Modifications back in draft form for HRA consideration.
