Report to City Council regarding Directional Sign Program November 19, 2002 Page 3 of 4 Attached as Exhibit "B" to the Resolution is the recommended design and specification for Colton's Kiosk Program. Hoak Outdoor Advertising, the company who currently manufactures and maintains the residential kiosk signs in Colton and other cities, has provided input that is consistent with the specifications of the sign's design (i.e size height, lettering height, etc). The new kiosks will be comparable to the existing residential kiosks, with a slight modification in style and design. The RV Kiosks shall bear the name "City of Colton," a slogan if desired (i.e Miracle Mile of RVs) and the City logo. New residential kiosks will be required to be built pursuant to these specifications, absent the slogan. Each panel shall bear the Dealer or residential development name. It shall have only one line of text and shall have no text other than the business name; logos or characters other than punctuation are not permissible. The font shall be the same on each panel. The formatting of each panel shall be identical (i.e alignment), other than the RV Dealer or residential development name and length of directional arrow, as permitted by available space after the name is on the sign. The specifications allow a total of seven panels. The initial RV Kiosks will have enough panels to accommodate five panels and the one panel equivalent to the size of two for the RV Dealer not located in the American RV Expo mall. If and when another RV Dealer opens for business North of Washington St. and requests to purchase a panel on a sign, the panel of the RV Dealer with the one panel equivalent to the size of two panels will be modified to be consistent with the specifications and other panels. There shall, however, be no more than the equivalent of seven panel spaces allowed on any of the Kiosk sign faces, as called out for in the specifications. Should the attached Resolution be adopted, staff will negotiate with directional sign companies to find a suitable organization to administer the Directional Kiosk Sign Program. Costs of installing the signs will be borne by the sign company and the businesses purchasing space on the sign. The successful candidate will work with Community Development, Engineering and other city departments, as necessary, to install and maintain the signs Financial Analysis Typically, companies administering directional sign programs charge a monthly fee to each participating business. The fees collected pay for the initial construction of the sign, the construction of each panel and maintenance of the sign. The City will have no costs associated with implementation of the Directional Sign Program other than the initial administration and occasional monitoring of the signs to ensure compliance with the approved program. Environmental Impact The signs have been designed to conform to the existing residential directional signs and the City Engineer has reviewed the specifications and locations of the RV Dealer signs to ensure that vehicular and pedestrian safety is not compromised.
