CAR COUNTRY/FREESTANDING SIGN
Statement of the 14jatter - -
' Staff has been meeting with'Mr. Robert Knauf, Attorney, representing
Car Country, regarding a freestanding sign requested by the car
dealers in the Paseo Del Norte area, specifically located on Lot 10
of the Dixon Ford lot.
The City is building a mini-park on Lot 11 of Carlsbad Tract 72-3
adjoining Lot 10. Part of the Agreement was to allow an easement
across Lot 11 to install and maintain an underground electrical
conduit from the car dealer's electric meter to furnish power to the site. Mr. Knauf has agreed to draft the easement document and the City will furnish the description for the easement as well as a location map. As part of this Agreement, the Tri-City Auto
Dealers' Association will pay all metered electrical charges to energize lights and timers in the City park located on Lot 11. The Parks and Recreation Director indicates there will be minimal
lighting in the park.
The Tri-City Auto Dealers are proposing a sign 35 feet in height
with 150 square feet of sign area with the Car Country logo on
the face of the sign. This includes a rectangular "next exit''
notice on the side of the pole. The diameter of the logo part of
the sign is 12 feet. In addition to the agreement that staff has
reached with'Mr. Knauf, it will be necessary for the Tri-City Auto
Dealers' Association to obtain a coastal permit-. This, of course, cannot be accomplished until the City has approved the sign.
