Concept signage is included below to identify character and intent. Each element will be carefully designed, proportioned, and placed with respect to the Developments architectural approach, the surrounding community aesthetic, and the City of Bozeman as a whole. All signage, with the exception of the home address markers, will be designed and installed by the Bridger Meadows Developer. The Signage will help enhance the character of the community, by being informative and appealing to residents and visitors alike. Entry Monument Sign Bridger Meadows Subdivision will include an entry sign to identify the development as “Bridger Meadows”. The sign is to be located in the open space north the Southeast edge of the property whereof Shady Glen Lane where it enters the property from the Links. The sign will be free-standing, internally illuminated through solar power, and integrated with a landscaped planter. The shape, size, and color of the sign will complement the surrounding environment and the Bridger Meadows Design Standards. Typical and Secondary Signage Typical trail marking and street signs such as the City/GVLT standard trail head and pet waste/leash requirements signage will be posted in the community areas and at trails. Sign placement will include trail entries, street fronts, emergency access, and the community/play areas. To reduce visual clutter and communicate development information such as enhancing the preservation of the federally protected wetlands, signs will be limited to necessary areas to inform residents and visitors. Wayfinding Directional signage will be located to demarcate trail entries and the community/play areas. Signs denoting the boarder of the wetland and wildlife refuge will also be provided to mark the boundary of the wildlife refuge area boundary. Signs will be similar in design to signage utilized and prevalent elsewhere in the city to promote familiarity and consistency. Typical examples are represented below: Bridger Meadows Neighborhood March 3, 2021 PUD Preliminary Application – Signage Plan Outline Page 2 h:\bridger meadows pud\20-0601 pud prelim plan\(24) subdivision signage 03-02-2021.docx Lot Address Signage Address markers are to be installed on the main entry façade of each residence. Numbers shall be in a block print, a color in contrast to the background, and located near the entry where clearly visible from the street. The proposed development signage is typical for an R-1 residential area and will serve to inform pedestrians and community occupants of wayfinding and the neighborhood standards while continuously protecting the active riparian areas, wetlands and wildlife habitats. They have been created to establish the language and design criteria for the built environment and are based on a commitment to establish a strong “sense of place” for the Bridger Meadows community. Interpretive Signage The project developer proposes to include interpretive/educational signage at two locations in the project. The signs will include educational and informative information on the federally protected wetlands and wildlife refuge. They will outline a brief background on the area and provide identification for the typical wildlife one might expect to see residing in the area. Signs will be mounted at the community/play area in the southeast corner of the development and near at the end of the trail intersection located within common open area 02 at the sidewalk near lot 7. Signage is still in development but is expected to be similar to the examples noted below and no larger than 24” by 36” in size. Examples of signage are still in design.
