Consider request for monument sign on High Street (Heritage Board).
The Moorpark Historical Society has proposed placing a monument sign on High Street.
Discussion
On May 28, 1996, Charles Schwabauer of the Historical Society made a presentation to
the Planning Commission requesting approval of a monument sign to commemorate the
planting of the historic Pepper Trees on High Street by Robert Poindexter. This sign is
proposed to be 6 feet long, with a sign face area 5 feet wide by 3 feet high. The sign letters
will be white on a hunter green background, with brown posts. The Commission reviewed
the proposed sign at the May 28 meeting. Chairman Torres moved and Commissioner
May seconded a motion to recommend to the City Council that the proposed sign be
approved. This motion was approved on a 4 - 0 vote with Commissioner Marten absent.
The City Council is asked to review the size of the proposed sign, its location, construction,
wording and orientation to the street. As proposed, the sign would be considered a large
historical marker sign. As an example, the sign on the Moorpark Community Church
(historical marker No. 55) located at Charles and Walnut Street is shaped like a map of
Ventura County and is 29" x 20 ". The proposed location between the gazebo and the
existing driveway (by the fence) has been proposed. The construction as described is
substantial. Charles Schwabauer has confirmed that the Historical Society will maintain
the sign. The proposed wording is shown in the attachment. It is proposed that the sign be
placed perpendicular to High Street so that it can be viewed from the street as well as the
sidewalk. The size of the sign is relatively large. Staff feels consideration should be given
to approving a smaller size for the sign.
Recommendation
Approve the sign and location, determine appropriate size of sign.
