Maverick’s justification letter outlined how
the lighting would be constructed.
However, this information was not included in the staff agenda
sheet. The TAB added the lighting
conditions, with the applicant’s agreement, rather than request a separate Design
Review for lighting.
There are no signs in the neighborhood taller
than 12 to 14 feet. The area will have
limited commercial development and is primarily residential. The TAB felt large signs are not appropriate
in the area. The TAB added the recommendation for a 12 foot sign. The applicant agreed to this condition.

designation of RNP is located 166 feet to the southwest across the intersection

The TAB liked most aspects of this project
except the 75 foot high sign along Blue Diamond. The applicant’s argument for the 75 ft. high
sign were:
·
The
speed limit on Blue diamond is 60 mph (Posted limited is 55mph)
·
Traffic
signal stanchion prohibits adequate sign visibility due to the vehicle speeds
along
·
Passing
motorists in either direction have obscured visibility caused by buildings,
traffic, and large trees;
·
The
traffic signal lights at Valley View are supported by a four diameter
pipe. (Not that large)
·
The
traffic signal stanchion blocks the proposed sign below 50 ft.
The staff argument against the 75 ft. sign were.
·
Vehicle speed and number of travel lanes along
·
Does not create undue hardships to merit consideration for an increased
sign height of this magnitude.
·
Other major transportation corridors in
·
40 foot high freestanding sign is more to scale with the 20 to
32 foot high buildings and overall massing of the 8 acre shopping center than a
higher sign.
·
Is not compliant with Enterprise Land Use Policy 11.3, which
encourages, in part, all signage to be integrated and compatible with on-site
buildings and surrounding developments.
The TAB agreed
with the Staff position.
My observations are:
·
A lower height sign is not blocked when traveling in the east
bound lanes.
·
A lower sign would have greater visibly when traveling in the west
bound lanes
·
A lower sign would provide sufficient time to make the turn at
Valley View.
·
Innovative sign design should be used to increase sign visibility.
·
The bill board on the Silverton property could partly be blocked
by the proposed 75 ft. sign.
Lighting was not
covered in the application. The TAB
recommended a condition for additional Public Design Review for lighting and
signage, except the 40 sign approved along Valley View.
