CITY OF MOORPARK,CALIFORNIA City Council Meeting of '7-/s-49009 ACTION; MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL 41' AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Deputy City Manager" DATE: June 25, 2009 (CC Meeting of 7/15/20009) SUBJECT: Consider City Entry Sign at Tierra Rejada Road/SR-23 and Princeton Avenue/SR-118 and Resolution Amending the Fiscal Year 2009/2010 Budget for Funding the Project DISCUSSION The City recently hired Outdoor Dimensions to create different design concepts for consideration. This item was presented to the City Council at its April 1, 2009 City Council meeting. Council directed that the sign be spot lighted rather than internally illuminated and that consideration be given to the use of solar lighting. In addition the Council wanted to see a design which was more in keeping with the character of Moorpark. Staff has worked with the sign contractor on a more simple and straightforward design that appropriately represents Moorpark. The Concept: This proposed sign would be used in the raised landscaped medians and at the street side of entry locations such as Grimes Canyon Road. A color version of the proposed sign is attached. The sign is proposed to be five feet tall with a one and a half foot stone base. The sign would be eight feet wide and have a depth of sixteen inches. It would be constructed to be a "break-a-way" style sign so it would not create a hazard for errant automobiles if it were struck in the event of an accident. The sign is proposed to be externally illuminated by solar lights. The sign is to be a painted map brushed aluminum with a brushed finish. The City seal would be cast bronze, in color, with raised areas. The sign is proposed to be single-faced, i.e. signage only on one side. The letters are half-inch aluminum painted dark bronze with a brushed finish. This concept can be used in street medians, on corners, at the side of the street and is low prcfile enough so as not to be a visual distraction to drivers. The design is an enduring design that should not go out of style. 034 Honorable Mayor and City Council July 15, 2009 Page 2 Costs and Maintenance: The cost for fabrication of one sign is $9,665.00 with installation costs at $1,940.00 for a total cost of $11,605.00. The sign would be maintained by the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department as part of the overall maintenance of the area in which it is located, i.e. a median or landscaped corner, or streetside. Maintenance costs are expected to be nominal. Proposed Siqn Locations: City entry signs are proposed to be strategically located throughout the City. Some signs would be located at or near the City's physical boundary while other signs may be located at freeway off-ramps. There are two locations within the City where conditions of approval required that reservations be made for the location of a City entry sign, one is at the southwest corner of the Princeton Avenue off-ramp and Princeton Avenue and the second location is adjacent to the Warehouse Discount Center sign on the south facing slope along Los Angeles Avenue. In addition to these two locations there is one additional sign location on Grimes Canyon Road which will be dedicated as part of the development of that residential subdivision. There are also potential locations within the City's medians at Tierra Rejada Road and SR-23 and potentially within newly installed raised medians in Los Angeles Avenue. Staff is proposing three signs to be constructed and installed at this time. One sign would be installed in the new Tierra Rejada Road median located just west of the southbound SR-23 off-ramp. A color photo mock-up is attached. This location would welcome residents and visitors to the City after they exited the north and southbound off ramps of SR-23. The addition of a City entry sign would complete the recent improvements in this area of Tierra Rejada and provide a highly visible location. A second sign would be installed at the southwest corner of the SR-118 off-ramp and Princeton Avenue at the Kavlico location. The sign would be angled across the corner to be visible for southbound traffic. The third sign would be located in the Princeton Avenue median immediately north of the SR 118 freeway and visible to northbound Princeton Avenue traffic. This sign would be installed at approximately the location of the second or third tree from the south boundary of the median. FISCAL IMPACT The median sign in Tierra Rejada as well as the two Princeton Avenue off ramp signs would be funded from the Tree and Landscape Fees Fund (2150), for three signs at $11,605 each for a total of $34,815. As of June 30, 2009 there was $82,719 in that fund. Should the Council choose to direct staff to install additional signing funding from developer deposits are available for one additional sign now. Warehouse Discount Center had a condition of approval on its project which required the payment of$25,000 to the City to be used in its sole and unfettered discretion. One expense that was anticipated for this money was the placement of a City entry sign. These funds could be used for the fabrication and installation of one sign on that site. The Toll Brothers development on Grimes Canyon has a condition of approval requiring the payment of $25,000 to the City to be used in its sole and unfettered discretion. One expense that was anticipated for this money was the placement of a City entry sign..
