Gateway Plan Discussion
Ed Anzek, Planning Commission Director, discussed the Gateway Plan noting the |
following: |
* Donald Westfall, Lombardo, has SPEC drawings and has pledged to place City |
Gateway signs at (3) three various locations throughout the City. He further stated that |
by using his own subcontractors he could reduce the cost by (1/3) one third. |
* City will obtain permits from the Oakland County Road Commission who has already |
given approval of such permits. |
Mr. Anzek provided a history of the Gateway Plan noting the following: |
* A Committee was established.1000 survey responses were received that indicated |
that the residents viewed the Rochester Hills community as Historic, Distinctive and |
Progressive with attention on Housing, Parks, Education and Museum. |
* Four (4) panels will be represented separately; green for Parks, Historic theme for |
Historic districts - all will show a meandering band which represents the Clinton River |
and Pathways which run through the community. |
* Gateway signs will have a larger width at certain locations or be more vertical where |
the City has narrow right-of-ways. |
* City is pursuing Corporate sponsorship and will offer a panel of limestone rock for |
engraving of the Corporate name without detracting from the Gateway Sign itself. |
Jim Duistermars stated that the whole idea behind the Gateway Plan is to establish the |
City's own identity, setting Rochester Hills apart from neighboring communities. |

Conservation Easement signs every 100 feet identifying the Conservation Easement; |
