RECOMMENDATION: ~ Review proposed sign design and provide comments, if desired
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
The cost of the signs will be paid by developers. Ongoing
maintenance is expected to be minimal, except that any signs that are
damaged through vandalism or vehicle accidents will need to be
repaired or replaced by the City. The replacement cost would be
approximately $9,000 to $10,000. This is comparable to the
replacement cost for the existing concrete signs.
DESCRIPTION: Approximately eight years ago, the City installed concrete City
Entrance signs at four locations (City entrances at north and south ends of San Ramon Road, north end of
Village Parkway, and north end of Dougherty Road). A fifth sign was added at the south end of
Dougherty Road in 1994. These signs are rectangular cast concrete with an integral tan color and painted
logo and lettering (see Exhibit 3).
One of the conditions for the eastern Dublin development projects is to provide City Entrance Signs for the
eastern City entrances. The first ofthese signs is due to be installed soon on Hacienda Drive just north of
1-580 (see Location Map, Exhibit 4). However, a new design and material is being proposed for these
signs, as shown on Exhibits 1 and 2 and the rendering to be displayed at the meeting, The new signs are
constructed of a polished granite with brass logo and lettering, The top of the sign will simulate the hills
behind the sign with two levels and colors of granite. These granite signs are the same overall 8' length as
the existing concrete signs. The height is graduated, and is about 3" shorter than the existing signs at the

high end and about 10" shorter at the low end. The size of the logo and lettering is about I" smaller than
that of the existing signs. The top of the new sign is just three feet above finish grade at its highest point. .
The existing signs are about three and a half feet above grade.
