Advisory committee approves engraved rock sign for 10–12 Dave Kim Lane with natural-stone finish
Summary
The committee approved an engraved boulder-style sign for a property at 10–12 Dave Kim Lane, asking the applicant to submit a color swatch if a blue letter color is chosen and encouraging a natural stone finish rather than painted white.
The advisory committee approved an engraved rock sign for a property identified as 10–12 Dave Kim Lane on July 15, with the condition that the rock remain natural in color and the applicant submit a color swatch for the lettering if they choose blue rather than the application’s black.
Matthew (applicant representative) presented a site plan showing the proposed location set well back from the road in a semi-rural context. He said the sign would be a natural boulder with engraved lettering; the application referenced a painted white background in an earlier drawing, and committee members asked for clarification. The applicant said the client preferred blue lettering but agreed to submit a color swatch for staff approval to avoid an overly bright or fluorescent appearance.
Committee members said rock signs have precedent in campus- or neighborhood-scale approaches and that the proposed sign location is less visible from the town center. Kevin Cuesta and others recommended that the boulder be left as a natural stone color rather than painted white; the applicant agreed to provide a swatch of the intended blue type for staff review.
The committee approved the application by roll-call vote and specified that staff receive the final color sample so that the finish will be appropriate to the site.
Next steps: applicant to submit a color swatch for final staff sign-off; staff to file the approval and the color sample with the HDC application records.
