Response 06/09/08 - Staff met with Reverend Brad Carpenter today to discuss

this issue. The meeting consisted of showing him examples of what the sign

could look like as a monument sign and as a pole sign (these drawings have been

included in the packet to Council this week). Rev. Carpenter also presented a

rendering he had prepared, showing what the sign could look like as a monument

sign. Our discussion centered upon allowing a monument sign no higher than six

feet, with a pedestal base of a maximum height of 24 inches. In addition, the

sign is to be located a minimum of ten feet back from the right of way, and the

church will provide landscaping around the base. Staff is also recommending

that there be only one sign allowed on this site.



Requiring this sign to be a monument sign should lessen the potential impact of

the height and of the use of the LED. A rendering of what the sign could look

like when completed is attached. - RJ
