provide landscaping on the corner. At first the staff.. was
considering constructing an entrance sign .or monument with
landscaping. However, the City Council decided to only landscape
at this time and possibly construct a sign at a later date.

designed to allow for a sign at a future date. The City Council
will have to approve the final bids for the project.
