Resident warns library sign placement could confuse patrons near Burgess Orchards
Summary
A resident asked the Alpine City Planning Commission to consider moving a library sign that sits near the corner of Bateman and Alpine Highway and could suggest the parking lot is library‑designated; city staff said the quasi‑public sign met code standards and did not require planning commission review.
Cheryl DeGroot of Cascade Avenue raised a public comment March 3 asking the commission to reconsider the placement of a Friends of the Alpine Library sign on the corner of Bateman and Alpine Highway, saying its current location could mislead patrons about where to park once the orchard is operating.
"It's a very nice sign, but it's on the corner of Bateman and Alpine Highway, very far from the entrance of the library," DeGroot said. She asked that the sign be moved closer to the library entrance so patrons will not assume the corner lot is designated orchard parking. Staff (Ryan Robinson) responded that the sign was submitted and permitted under the quasi‑public sign standards in the sign code; quasi‑public signs do not require planning commission review and the sign, as submitted, met code criteria. Robinson recommended residents who are concerned contact city staff for follow‑up; the commission treated the comment as a communication to be noted in the minutes.
No formal action was required; staff said they would follow up with the applicant and can check whether relocating or re‑siting the sign to the library entrance is feasible and compliant.
