Title
Appl. #PL2021-422 - SIGN APPLICATION - Lee's Summit High School, 400 SE Blue Pkwy; Gould Evans, applicant
Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant seeks approval of two (2) oversized, freestanding, scrim sign structures located off the southwest corner of the school building. The two signs will be oriented in different directions to address the west and south entrances to the building. The scrim structures are architectural features that provide a distinctive visual and textural aesthetic to both entrances as part of the facility upgrades currently in progress. The western-facing structure will have letters mounted on it that read “Lee’s Summit High School”. The southern-facing structure will have a graphic design perforated into the scrim that reads “Lee’s Summit High School” and also has the image of the tiger head mascot. The southern-facing structure will replace the historic tiger head that has long adorned the same southern-facing building façade. The historic tiger head is being relocated elsewhere on campus.
Proposed Motion:
I move to APPROVE Appl. #PL2021-422 - SIGN APPLICATION - Lee's Summit High School, 400 SE Blue Pkwy; Gould Evans, applicant.
