5. PUBLIC HEARING - St. Elizabeths Episcopal Church -
Sign Variance
Chairman Matthews asked the St. Elizabeths Episcopal
Church representative to come to the podium and state his
case.
Mr. Curt Oxford representing St. Elizabeths Episcopal
Church stated that the City of Sebastians code allowed
them three (3), two sided twenty (20) square foot signs,
one on each side of the property with frontage. What they
are requesting is two (2), one sided signs at thirty two
(32) square feet, one facing Biscayn and one sign facing
Clearmont to be joined at the corner. He continued by
stating that if they were to use all the square footage
allowed by the code, they were entitled to one hundred
and twenty (120) square feet of signage but were only
requesting to use sixty four (64) square feet maximum and
would waive the other footage allowed.
Mr. Oxford also stated that the Church had already
purchased the two (2) thirty two (32) square foot signs
that they were trying to salvage.
Mr. Bruce Cooper explained the code to the members of the
Board and stated that he did not feel that this case met
the criteria to grant a variance.
Ms. Heinicke mentioned the future growth of the area as
it is zoned commercial. She questioned whether the sign
as allowed by the code could be seen in the future.
Motion Heinicke/
I move we consider the distance from Highway #512 for
viewing the sign as a hardship in this case.
Motion died for lack of a second
Motion Shields/Stephenson
I move that based on the evidence presented, there
is no finding that a hardship exsist.

in this case, as fee waivers are given to Churches in all
