New Signage at Entrance

You may have noticed some new signage at the entrance to the community recently. There used to be a large white sign in the center median for Gum Grove Park. The Association had a traffic study conducted in 2015, and the consultant concluded that the sign’s located was a safety hazard, as it blocks the visibility of drivers trying to turn left into the Gum Grove Park parking lot. Since this signage is regulated by the Coastal Commission, the Association had to obtain approval from them to relocate the signage. The approval process took 9 months, but the Coastal Commission ultimately approved the Association’s request. The large white sign was completely removed, and a brand new black sign with the same verbiage and dimensions was placed at the corner of the driveway to the Gum Grove Park parking lot. A “Coastal Access” sign was placed on the stacked stone directory monument to comply with Coastal Commission requirements.

Furthermore, the Association has fabricated and installed custom monogram lettering with a rust colored heron in the empty space above the arbor between the two vehicle gates. The Board felt that this area was very focal and that by adding this element, has helped to improve the aesthetic of the entrance to the community. The Board would like to give a special thank you to former Board President Mark Rohling, who came up with the concept for the design. We hope you all enjoy the new improved signage at Heron Pointe!
