PlanningBoard | 2005-05-23 | 2 | Ms. Barbara Nemer expressed concern about a sign to be erected at Donald Lum School on Otis Drive, and that the sign is to be over eight feet tall. She noted that it was larger than any other sign in Alameda schools, and expressed concern that it would be plastic and illuminated. She believed it would be a safety hazard because of its location at a crosswalk and a corner, and believed it would be hideous. She would like to see a wooden sign, illuminated by plant lights. She noted that this school was one of the nicest on the Island. Mr. Piziali noted that this sign was not the purview of the Planning Board, and that the Board of Education would be the property entity to address. The Planning Board has no control over this sign. Mr. Lynch advised that the designs, plans, building inspections and contracts for schools go through the school board of the local jurisdiction, including design review. Ms. Diane Voss, 1815 Otis Drive, expressed concern about the Donald Lum School sign, which would cost over $8,000, and the monthly cost would also be at taxpayer expense. She would consider a "No" vote on the taxpayer-funded school assistance if her money were to be spent this way. Ms. Liz Cleves, 1815 Otis Drive, spoke in opposition to this sign, and expressed concern about safety at the corner and the crosswalk with respect to the proximity of the sign.
