PC 110509 Special Meeting - Laserfiche WebLink

Commissioner Olson agreed that there is no “Pleasanton look” but that he liked the Sharks sign. Mr. Rasmussen stated that another option might be that the signs for the park on the west end and northeast end of the site could relate more to City parks and they would keep the Sharks Ice signs the same. Commissioner Blank said he did not want to remove the Sharks’ branding and thinks continuity of the theme is important; however, when he saw the night view of the sign with the City of Pleasanton being blue, it did not seem consistent. He noted that it might work when he sees the more detailed rendering. Commissioner Narum noted that the park entry signs at the west and east end will be the standard monument signs that are in all City parks, and the signs for the Sharks’ facility will be in the center. Mr. Rasmussen stated that the one with the reader board along the top is at the entry way to the Sharks’ parking lot. He confirmed they were proposing to have the signs developed at the two park entries and that if the City’s expectation was to have more of the traditional park sign design there, they could do that. He indicated that the Commission could add a condition to bring back the standard sign; otherwise, the sign Chair Pearce presented would be used twice, and the reader board sign would be located at the entryway to the parks. Ms. Giffin stated that this is not how the project is conditioned and that if these signs were changed to the other signs shown in the sign package, they would be outside of the lease area and would then be have to be maintained by the City. She indicated that as proposed and the way it is conditioned, all Sharks signs would be in the lease area and not in the other areas of the Park. She added that it would be awkward to extend the lease area for the signs, but that theoretically, the signs could be brought somewhere else within the leased area. Chair Pearce referred to the preliminary materials pallet, specifically the picnic table. She indicated that she uses the picnic tables at Valle Vista Park and they have umbrella holders. She inquired if it would be possible to substitute tables that have umbrella holders as some of the tables proposed are not under the shade. Mr. Fulford replied that this could be done. Chair Pearce stated that the users would provide their own umbrellas. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Scott Raty, Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce, referred to the mural in the back of the Chamber and inquired if it was any more or less Pleasanton colors than anything proposed by the applicant tonight. He urged the Commission to allow the private sector PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, November 5, 2009 Page 16 of 19
