CENTER - SIGN PROGRAM - DESIGN REVIEW.
Wright stated that at the March 18, 1986 meeting the
Commission gave final design approval for the Mountain
Center. One of the conditions of that approval required the
developer to submit a sign program for the project for
approval. A sign program has been submitted that outlines
sign sizes, type, locations, and number of signs per
business. Wright stated tha Les Shapiro was present to make
the presentation.
Shapiro stated that he was asking for approval of a bronze
box, to be painted the same color as the building, and have
plexi -glass front on the average of 2 feet by 16 feet.
Shapiro stated that there would be signs on the south side
for each tenant and location signs on the north side for the
second floor tenants, which have their entrances on that
side. Also requested is a small sign for a project sign,
just showing Mountain Center on the east end of the entry,
possibly 8 to 12 inches by 3 feet.
Discussion followed regarding the sizes and number of signs
requested. The size of four square feet was discussed for
the location signs on the north side of the building, to be
placed either above or beside the doors.
Reynolds stated he was concerned that with so much square
footage on the south side of the building, it would be
extremely bright. He suggested that other options might be
considered, such as, rather than the light background and
dark letters, maybe have a darker background and light
letters.
Donaldson asked if Shapiro would consider reducing the size
to maybe 2 foot by 14 foot?
Shapiro stated he would work with whatever the Commission
suggested, as much as possible. A total of 360 square feet of
signage for the entire building, 12 signs at 28 square feet

Shapiro stated that with this total amount agreed upon,

sign permits.

signs, a four square foot sign on the north side for the
entrances of each second floor tenant and a four square foot
project identification sign.
