Most of the residents and home owners of Oakbrooke have been notified of the initiative to consider putting up a sign at the entrance to our neighborhood. Below is the letter that was sent out: (Edited to keep the location of our neighborhood private)
I have long wished we had a sign to identify our little neighborhood of Oakbrooke. So I started researching some sign ideas and presented a few designs with various colors, font styles and sign shapes to several
neighbors for their input. Ultimately we decided the sign shown below should be present to everyone in the neighborhood to see if you would be interested in contributing to the sign for our development.
The sign shown is about 4’ wide and 3’ tall. It is made of a High Density Urethane, and looks like wood, but lasts longer. I propose the sign be mounted to stained wooden posts near the street sign. (There is an existing easement on that corner for a sign) and some landscaping be put in around it.
The sign itself costs about $1,200 (including shipping) a couple hundred more for posts, plants, mulch, (solar lighting??) and the sign would cost no more than $1500. I will install it all at no cost (but would welcome help!) There are 14 families in Oakbrooke, so if everyone pitched in we could get the sign for about $100 each. Please respond to this request by filling out the enclosed self addressed stamped card to say if you are
willing to help out. If all do not want to contribute each person’s share would be a little higher, so at this time I only ask that you pledge up to a certain amount. The final cost for each family will be determined by how
many pledge to support.
If In a couple of weeks it looks like there is enough interest, I will put up a mock sign in my yard, to show what it would look like, then ask for your contribution as I order the sigh. Please call me if you have any questions or comments.
