THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE WAS LED BY CHAIRMAN HUSK. ROLL CALL: PRESENT: JAMES HUSK, CHAIRMAN WALTER SHIELDS ALAN SHISGAL, VICE CHAIRMAN FRED BUECHLING (ALTERNATE) ABSENT: ALFRED VILARDI JOHN PRICE (ALTERNATE) IT IS NOTED THAT FRED BUECHLING, ALTERNATE, WILL ACT IN BEHALF OF ALFRED VILARDI WHO IS ABSENT. ALSO PRESENT: BRUCE COOPER, DIR. OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RICHARD TORPY, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY OLD BUSINESS: MOTION BY FRED BUECHLING, SECONDED BY WALTER SHIELDS, TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE APRIL 7, 1992 MEETING, AS WRITTEN. ROLL CALL: YES: JAMES HUSK, CHAIRMAN WALTER SHIELDS ALAN SHISGAL, VICE CHAIRMAN FRED BUECHLING NO: NONE MOTION CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARING: LESLIE AND MILDRED PETERSON, IN REGARDS TO LOT 1, BLOCK 175, SEBASTIAN HIGHLANDS UNIT 6, HAS REQUESTED A VARIANCE TO CONSTRUCT A HOUSE TWENTY (20) FEET FROM THE FRONT PROPERTY LINE (WAVE STREET) WHEREAS THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF TWENTY-FIVE (25) FEET. PAGE 2 SCOTT SILVA, A CONTRACTOR AND OWNER OF HIGHLAND HOMES, WAS PRESENT TO REPRESENT THE PETERSONS. HE NOTED THAT WAVE STREET IS A DEAD END STREET AND WILL NEVER BECOME A THROUGH STREET. THE HOUSE WILL BE A NORMAL SETBACK FROM GEORGE STREET WHICH IT WILL FACE. THE VARIANCE IS FOR THE WAVE STREET SIDE. BRUCE COOPER POINTED OUT THAT WAVE STREET GOES INTO THE REAR OF CHESSER'S GAP WHICH IS A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT. THE CITY DOES NOT WANT TO SEE ANY TRAFFIC INTO THE FOOD LION BY WAY OF WAVE STREET. WAVE STREET IS AN EMERGENCY ACCESS ONLY TO THE REAR OF FOOD LION. A CULVERT AND BASE ROAD WAS CONSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY ACCESS TO CHESSER'S GAP. HE ALSO REFERRED TO A PRIOR VARIANCE REQUEST AT THE END OF MAIN STREET AND WIMBROW DRIVE WHERE WIMBROW DEAD ENDS INTO COLLIER PLACE. THIS WAS IN REGARD TO A FENCE IN THE FRONT YARD AND WAS GRANTED WITH THE CONDITION THAT IT COULD REMAIN AS LONG AS THE STREET WAS NEVER A THROUGH STREET. SINCE THAT TIME, THE ORDINANCE PROHIBITING FRONT YARD FENCES WAS CHANGED AND THE FENCE WOULD NOT NOW REQUIRE A VARIANCE. STAFF HAS NO OBJECTION TO THIS REQUEST BASED ON A MINIMUM TWENTY (20) FOOT SETBACK AND THAT WAVE STREET iS NOT A THROUGH STREET. MR. HUSK ASKED ABOUT THE BARRICADE AT THE END OF WAVE STREET AND WHETHER IT SHOULD BE REMOVED TO PROVIDE THE EMERGENCY ACCESS MENTIONED. MR. COOPER NOTED THAT LOW HEDGES AND SHRUBBERY WILL BE PLACED AROUND THE BARRIER WHICH EMERGENCY VEHICLES WILL BE ABLE TO RUN OVER. HOWEVER, NORMAL TRAFFIC WOULD NOT GO THROUGH IT. STAFF DOES FIND SPECIAL CONDITIONS WHICH ARE PECULIAR TO THIS PROPERTY THAN ANY OTHER CORNER LOT, SINCE THIS IS NOT A THROUGH STREET. MR. SILVA NOTED THAT NO OTHER VACANT LOTS FRONT ON TO WAVE STREET. MR. COOPER ALSO NOTED THAT THE iNTENT OF THE TWENTY-FIVE (25) FOOT SETBACK ON A FRONT YARD iS ON THROUGH STREETS. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 3:10 P.M. THERE BEING NO PUBLIC INPUT, THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 3:10 P.M. MOTION BY MR. BUECHLING, SECONDED BY MR. SHIELDS TO APPROVE THE VARIANCE AS REQUESTED. PAGE 3 ROLL CALL: YES: JAMES HUSK, CHAIRMAN WALTER SHIELDS ALAN SHISGAL, VICE CHAIRMAN FRED BUECHLING NO: NONE MOTION CARRIED. MR. & MRS. PETERSON THANKED THE BOARD AND MR. COOPER FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. PUBLIC HEARING: SEBASTIAN GENERAL PARTNERSHIP, BFT. IN REGARDS TO LOTS 3, 4 AND 5 OF CHESSER'S GAP SUBDIVISION PHASE I, HAS REQUESTED A VARIANCE TO CONSTRUCT A FREESTANDING SIGN APPROXIMATELY TEN (10) FEET FROM THE FRONT PROPERTY LINE, WHEREAS THE ORDINANCE WOULD REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF THIRTY-THREE (33) FEET. CARL FISCHER OF 523 CROSS CREEK CIRCLE WAS PRESENT TO REPRESENT THE APPLICANT. THE SIGN IS APPARENTLY TOO LARGE FOR THE PROPOSED LOCATION BECAUSE THE DECORATIVE BASE OF THE SIGN IS BEING INCLUDED iN THE CALCULATIONS OF THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE SIGN. MR. COOPER EXPLAINED THE CODE REGARDING THIS MATTER. CODE GIVES AN ALLOWANCE FOR A SHOPPING CENTER SIGN UP TO 150 SQUARE FEET, WHEREAS A NORMAL SIGN ANYWHERE ELSE IN A COMMERCIAL ZONE IS 100 SQUARE FEET. YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED A 48 SQUARE FOOT SIGN AT THE FRONT PROPERTY LINE AND IF YOU WANT A LARGER SIGN, YOU MUST START SETTING IT BACK. FOR EVERY FOOT YOU MOVE THE SIGN BACK FROM THE PROPERTY LINE, YOU GAIN TWO SQUARE FEET ADDED TO THE 48 SQUARE FEET. THE WHOLE SIGN AND THE BASE HAS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE COMPUTATIONS BECAUSE THE CODE SAYS A FREE STANDING SIGN MAY BE ON EITHER ONE OR TWO POLES AND THERE IS A MAXIMUM WIDTH OF THAT POLE. ONCE YOU EXCEED THE WIDTH OF THAT POLE, YOU HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ANYTHING OVER THAT AMOUNT AS SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE SIGN. STAFF AGREES THAT THE PROPOSED SIGN IS VERY ATTRACTIVE BUT ACCORDING TO MR. COOPER'S INTERPRETATION OF THE CODE, iT MUST MEET THE CODE OR GET A VARIANCE. MR. COOPER ASKED THE BOARD TO MAKE A DETERMINATION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY AGREE WITH THE HIS INTERPRETATION OF THE CODE REGARDING THE CALCULATION OF THE BASE OF THE SIGN AS PART OF ITS SQUARE FOOTAGE. THEN, IF THE BOARD AGREES, THE BOARD SHOULD PROCEED TO ACT ON THE VARIANCE REQUEST. PAGE 4 THE TOTAL SIGN, INCLUDING THE BASE, COMES TO 115 SQUARE FOOT. THE ACTUAL SIGN IS 76 SQUARE FEET. SUCH A SIGN WOULD REQUIRE A 33 FOOT SETBACK FROM THE PROPERTY LINE. MR. COOPER FEELS THAT THE VISUAL IMPACT OF A LARGE BASE ON A POLE SIGN IS SUBSTANTIALLY MORE THAN A SMALL POLE WHICH IS POSSIBLY WHY THE CODE WAS WRITTEN AS SUCH. THERE IS A 15 FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK REQUIREMENT. THIS IS GOING TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY DEEDING 15 FEET OF THE ADJOINING PROPERTY TO SATISFY THIS. BOTH PROPERTIES ARE OWNED BY THE APPLICANT, AND THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM. ATTORNEY TORPY ASKED THAT THE BOARD DETERMINE THE APPEAL OF MR. COOPER'S DECISION THAT THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE HAS TO BE CALCULATED AS PART OF THE SIGN BECAUSE OF THE MAXIMUM WIDTH REQUIREMENTS OF THE POLES. ALSO, YOU ARE CAUTIONED ABOUT THE FUTURE EFFECT OF GRANTING THIS VARIANCE, IF IT IS BASED SOLELY ON THE AESTHETICS OF THIS SIGN. AFTER FURTHER DISCUSSION, THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 3:45 P.M. THERE BEING NO PUBLIC iNPUT, THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 3:45 P.M. MOTION BY MR. BUECHLING, SECONDED BY MR. SHISGAL TO ACCEPT BRUCE COOPER'S INTERPRETATION REGARDING THE RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE BASE AREA OF THE SIGN. ROLL CALL: YES: JAMES HUSK, CHAIRMAN ALAN SHISGAL, VICE CHAIRMAN FRED BUECHLING NO: WALTER SHIELDS MOTION CARRIED. THE MOTION CARRIED THAT MR. COOPER'S INTERPRETATION OF THE SIGN ORDINANCE INCLUDES THE BASE AS PART OF THE OVERALL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE SIGN. THE BOARD CONTINUED ON TO DISCUSS THE REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE REGARDING ANY SPECIAL CONDITIONS OR CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH PERTAIN TO THIS; ARE THE CONDITIONS CREATED BY THE APPLICANT; AND THAT SPECIAL PRIVILEGES ARE NOT CONFERRED. PAGE 5 ATTORNEY TORPY NOTED THAT THE SPECIAL CONDITION MAY BE FOUND THAT ALTHOUGH THIS COMPONENT OF THE SUPPORT IS REALLY JUST FACADE AND NOT THE POLE ITSELF, IN A VERY REAL SENSE IT IS NOT SIGNAGE. THE BOARD MUST MAKE A FACTUAL DETERMINATION. LIKEWISE, THE AMBIGUITY OF THE CODE ITSELF AND NOT CONTEMPLATING THIS SITUATION MIGHT BE A CONDITION NOT CREATED BY THE APPLICANT. YOU MUST REMAIN CONSISTENT WITH YOUR FINDINGS. CONDITIONS MAY BE PLACED ON THE VARIANCE REGARDING NEVER ALLOWING THE BASE OF THE SIGN TO BE INCREASED OR NOT ALLOWING SIGNAGE TO BE PLACED ON THAT AREA. MR. COOPER NOTED THAT SPECIAL CONDITIONS COULD BE FOUND IN THE UNIQUENESS OF THE SIGN BASE ITSELF SINCE IT IS STRICTLY AESTHETICS AND SERVES NO OTHER PURPOSE TO ATTRACT ATTENTION. IT IS INCIDENTAL TO THE SIGN ITSELF. THE OTHER PART IS THAT THE PERCENTAGE OF THE BASE iS LESS THAN 50 PERCENT OF THE OVERALL SIGN. THE AMBIGUITY OF THE CODE IS A SPECIAL CONDITION ITSELF. A DISCUSS FOLLOWED CONCERNING THE PROPORTION OF THE BASE TO THE SIGN ITSELF. MOTION BY MR. SHIELDS, SECONDED BY MR. BUECHLING TO GRANT THE VARIANCE WITH SPECIAL CONDITIONS AS FOLLOWS: 1. NO WRITING OR ADVERTISING BE ALLOWED ON THE BASE. 2. THE BASE IS NOT TO BE EXPANDED UPON. A DISCUSSION FOLLOWED REGARDING THE MOTION MEETING THE GUIDELINES REQUIRED FOR A VARIANCE: SPECIFICALLY, WHETHER SPECIAL CONDITIONS EXIST THAT ARE PECULIAR TO THE LAND, THE STRUCTURE OR THE BUILDING; AND WHETHER THE CONDITIONS ARE NOT CREATED BY THE APPLICANT. MR. BUECHLING NOTED THAT TO APPROVE THE VARIANCE MAY BE GRANTING SPECIAL PRIVILEGES ON THE APPLICANT. MR. COOPER NOTED THAT THE BOARD MIGHT FIND THAT THE BASE IS PECULIAR BECAUSE IT IS NOT REPRESENTING ANY SIGNAGE AND NOT iNTENDED TO ATTRACT ATTENTION WHICH IS THE INTENT OF A SIGN. ROLL CALL: YES: JAMES HUSK, CHAIRMAN WALTER SHIELDS FRED BUECHLiNG NO: ALAN SHISGAL, VICE CHAIRMAN MOTION CARRIED. PAGE 6 CARL FISCHER THANKED THE BOARD AND NOTED THAT IT WILL BE A VERY AESTHETICALLY PLEASING SIGN AS OPPOSED TO A SIGN ON A POLE AND WILL BLEND WITH THE OVERALL DESIGN OF THE COMPLEX.
