Lauren Hovde, Staff Planner presented the staff report stating that the proposed sign package included two attached signs and one freestanding sign. On the front façade, the sign will
include text in a white font and graphics displaying ice arena activities in black. The design is accented by a maroon swoosh on one side. The sign area is 162 square feet. The second
attached sign does not include text, but shows silhouettes in black of people participating in ice arena activities. The sign area is 139 square feet. The total square footage of attached
signage proposed, 301 square feet is within the allowed amount for this building of 500 square feet. The freestanding sign request involves only a sign face change. The sign structure
is not being altered with this request. The proposed sign face includes graphics of snow in white with a blue background. The text is shown in white and is accented by a maroon swoosh
on one side.
Chris Pletcher with Wakefield Signs presented modifications for the blue on the freestanding sign to be a softer shade of blue and to change the hockey player and figure skater silhouettes.
Mr. Kinnard suggested adding spacing and back lighting to the silhouettes.
