Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, July 15, 2013 <br />Page 4 . <br />Mr. Marrie stated, Seneca has one. <br />Mayor Rinker asked, are you talking about entryway signs or back in the subdivision? <br />Mr. Marrie stated, I am talking about the pole that will say Sandalwood that is sitting on SOM <br />Center Road, the new sign. It's not there, but it will be there. Before, we had signs that listed <br />Walnut and Butternut. That could be true in a lot of other places. Also, Aintree North has three <br />or four streets back there off the main street. 1Vlayor Rinker stated, my neighborhood does as well, but we created our own sign with Service <br />years ago. It's like a doctor's list. You have them all listed. The direction we talked about was <br />creating a consistent signage arrangement which is what we are doing. If there are things to add, <br />how best to do it is the question. I don't think we had a clear cut answer to if you can do an <br />entryway feature where you can list them or not. Aintree North, I don't think we have ever listed <br />all of the streets. We have always had the entryway there. I don't think there's been a <br />consistency. We are trying to be more consistent but if it's something where people feel it's <br />really a problem I think that we can go back and look at it. <br />Mr. Metzung stated, a lot of the signage we had, say, Seneca and Beech Hill was off the back. <br />The sign was incredibly confusing. Seneca was on the post and Beech Hill was a flag off of it. <br />People didn't know what they were seeing, which street is the street and which is the off-street <br />from that. It led to a lot of confusion. It wasn't uniform at all. <br />Mayor Rinker stated, another example is when you come up Raleigh and you hit Chase and <br />Derby and you get an Alice in Wonderland where you get one going one way and one going the <br />other way. It starts to look cluttered. I am not sure how effective it has been. I think we gage <br />how people respond. <br />Mr. Marrie stated, okay, let's see how it goes. <br />Mayor Rinker added, the idea is to make it easier to follow. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, it would be something for Caucus or a future thing to look <br />into. I know we will probably get comments on it. One last question, is there a range of the <br />sign? Are the letters at their maximum? <br />Mr. Metzung replied, I will find that out. I don't have the information with me. We looked at <br />the design of the signs and made a couple prototypes. It wasn't a very attractive piece. <br />Mayor Rinker stated, again, it may not be the best example because now we are looking at <br />what's really kind of a dated signage that we have in our neighborhood. We have goalpost signs <br />that have Worton Park and then it has a whole listing. That's something for future reference to <br />review whether we should come back and redesign it. <br />Mr. Marrie stated, thank you.
