Item 9ACITY OF
SOUTHLAKE
MEMORANDUM
January 27, 2009
TO: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
FROM: Chris Tribble, Director of Community Services
SUBJECT: Approve the Conceptual Design for Park Monument Signage
Action Requested: Approve the conceptual design for park monument signage.
Background
Information: Two new parks are currently under construction, Liberty Park at
Sheltonwood and Royal and Annie Smith Park. Both parks
currently do not have park signs designed. Several existing
parks throughout Southlake do not have visible park signage
that meets Southlake design standards.
Cooper Designs was contracted to develop a park monument
sign for Liberty Park at Sheltonwood and Royal & Annie Smith
Park and that could be used in a variety of parks in Southlake.
Objectives of the design concept:
• Versatile design
— Multiple configurations
— Various stone or brick options to match park
appearance or theme
• Traditional and lasting design that signifies a city park
• Standardization of design to eliminate recurring design &
engineering costs
• Maximum visibility of park name with night lighting
Financial
Considerations: Cost of the monument will vary substantially based on the
configuration selected.
Standardization of monument design will avoid recurring design
costs and custom construction premiums.
Strategic Link: This item is linked to the City's Strategy Map related to the
focus area of Quality Development and meets the corporate
objectives to Invest to Provide and Maintain High Quality Public
Assets and to Provide Attractive and Unique Spaces for
Enjoyment of Personal Interests.
