ITEM DESCRIPTION SOURCE STATUS
3.1 Discussion regarding street sign design in Austin
Ranch
Pat Dunlap advised that the Austin Ranch development
representatives had requested permission to place street
signs in their development, which do not comply with the
newly approved street sign design of the rest of the city.
They wish to place dark green signs with the Austin Ranch
logo on them. It was consensus of council that the street
signs in Austin Ranch should be the same as the rest of the
city, blue with the city logo, so that anyone entering
Austin Ranch also knows they are in the City of The
Colony. The Council did agree to allow Austin Ranch to
place a medallion of their logo on top of the street sign
poles if they choose to. Mr. Lucillo Pefia with Billingsley
Co. said he will take this information to his designers and
will let the city know what they plan to do.

Corps of Engineers
Mr. Lambert advised that the city has received another
request from the Corps of Engineers for information

for the next 5 to 10 years. He further advised that staff

could easily provide the information they have requested
with a maximum of 10-15 hours of work. Tomlin
Properties and Matthews Southwest will provide other
information the Corps has requested. This item will be on
the October 19, 1998 agenda for council approval.
