Powell City Council approves '2C' gateway-sign design, asks staff to refine materials and lighting
Summary
The Powell City Council voted to approve design option “2C” for new gateway signs and discussed stone finish, landscaping and backlighting; staff to follow up on final materials and lighting details.
The Powell City Council voted to approve design option “2C” for the city’s new gateway signs and directed staff to refine finish, landscaping and lighting details.
Council members discussed multiple mock-ups and materials before settling on option 2C, citing a preference for the warmer brown stone appearance and potential planting or moss accents. A council member noted the top image shown in the packet is a photograph of natural stone while the catalog samples will reproduce a cultured-stone look. Council members asked staff to confirm how closely the final manufactured stone will match the photograph and to bring back details on shrubbery and lighting.
Council discussion also included nighttime lighting treatment. A council member said the council had previously discussed backlighting behind the sign to make it stand out at night; staff were asked to consult with Ryan (staff) on how to implement backlighting rather than only spotlights. The motion to approve the signage using option 2C (one of the original picks) was moved, seconded and the motion carried.
Next steps are for staff to finalize material samples, landscape plans and the lighting approach and return to council for any final procurement or installation approvals.
