Coupal, Jr., City Manager FROM: The Planning Department SUBJECT: Bata Hi -Y Sign (Broadway and State Streets) Slit The Planning Department has made a study of the location proposed for a Beta Hi -Y sign giving the Bangor High School direction. The proposed site on the Broadway median strip which is city property has one sign there at this time. We feel that: 1. Sig in on this median may create a potential traffic hazard for visibility and may cause confusion to the flaw of traffic. 2. Additional signs may cause the effect of a aeries of Sig rie. We also discussed the possibility of the sign being placed at another location an Broadway, and decided that no other location would be suitable either because of a safety hazard or lack of space. Mr. Eaton, Superintendent of Schools, was called and asked if there would be a sign placed at the north entrance of thm school since one has fust been a inted at the south entrance. He said, 'No plans had bean made for another sign, and had no objections if one ware to be placed there.' We feel that a directional sign of this size may create traffic problems, and, at this time, we Cannot sea a suitable site for this sign• If Beta H1 -Y desires to erect a Sign, It appears that the north entrance of the high school would be a suitable location for an identification sign. EM:k Respectfully submitted, ward ✓. imi Maxaimic Planner Beta HS -Y Club requests permission to erect a sign oa city property as follows: 1. Sign to direct traffib to the New Bangor High School. 2. Sign to be erected at the corner of State and Broadway on the grassy area between the two Broadway streets. Exact site to be determined in cooperation with the City Planning Board. 3. Proposed sign is 3' by 5' to be white background with maroon lettering and is to read "Bangor High School 2 miles". An arrow will indicate proper direction. In smaller lettres at the bottomq "Courtesy Beta H1 -Y Club - 196$." 4. Sign will consist of a piece of weatherproof plywood to resemble the pattern established and in use on municipal adXXrw properttes. it dXXXIY0 is planned that sign will be made by the Fire Department Paint Shop. $. Sign will be mounted between painted Lx4 posts and will be placed high enough to be clearly visible; exact height to conform with recossmndations of the Planning Board. 6.
