DIRECTOR MATTERS: Mr. Hass started by answering some questions from the previous meeting: Accessory structure location maps - will have better location maps with dimensions in future . Advertising on benches - Ms. King explained that benches along streets were handled as a freestanding sign, and required a sign pennit. She then explained about benches at locations like Wal Mart, away from streets, and among many other advertisements at the entrance to the store, and noted that this type has not been addressed in the past. 3 . - . PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JULY 16,1998 Mr. Pliska had suggested that a legal opinion be obtained as to whether the City has a right to regulate signage on a bench outside his property. Chmn. Munsart and Ms. King noted that because of the present situation with the City Attorney, this issue may have to be put off for a while. Ms. King also conunented that she thinks a bench with advertising placed on the interior of a property should be treated differently than a similar bench on the front property line near a street. Chmn. Munsart also brought up the subject of large department/chain stores storing landscape articles, etc., on the sidewalk and parking lot. Ms. King indicated that this issue will be added to the list for the attorney opinion. VFW and American Legion property - Mr. Hass indicated that in the available records that were checked, no definitive answer is available on ownership. County computers were down and those records will have to be checked later. . Radiuses of driveways - Mr. Hass stated that he is in the process of writing a memo to the City Engineer on this matter. Mr. Schulke offered some information about DOT and Indian River County requirements for driveway radiuses. Mr. Pliska suggested that the City institute a requirement above the present minimum. Mr. Thomas cited the driveway at Papa John's Pizza on CR 512. Ciiy Attorney attendance at P & Z meetings - Mr. Hass noted that there is a financial issue involved in this, and possibly with a new City Attorney, this could be addressed in any contract drawn up. He is in the process of writing a memo to Mr. Frame on this issue. He noted that the contract for the present City Attorney stipulated City Council meetings, and occasional workshop meetings only, and if she attended any other Board meetings, she was paid an additional hourly wage. Catalano - Mr. Hass gave a report on this issue and referred to the minutes of the meeting of October 16, 1997, in which the applicant indicated "ten (10) or twelve (12)" cars on the lot, and also the fact that he was told by Mr. Massarelli that boats were not allowed on this lot.

Mr. Hass offered to get a legal opinion, at a future date, on a verbal agreement made by Mr. Catalano . There was also discussion on the issue of calculating parking spaces on a car lot. Ms. King noted that at present, the number of spaces have been calculated on the office size, plus other criteria. Discount Golf sign - Mr. Hass reported that the red sign at the u.S. 1 location is not neon, but an internally lit sign, and it meets the City's Riverfront code.
