NUNU 1 ES PLANNIN AND ZONING CONMSSION MEETING OF FEBRUARY 4, 1999 PAGE 3 Todd Pressman, 28870 W. Hwy. 19N, Clearwater, was present. He stated that the site is a proposed, free standing Eckerds. They are proposing two free standing signs. One is permitted by Code and he is asking for consideration of a second pylon sign. The sign on SR 46 is proposed to be 102.82 square feet. The sign on Rinehart is proposed at 73.5 square feet. M r. Marder stated that the way Staff has been interpreting the code is that if theme were two signs permitted, the square footage would be distributed between the two. There would be two smaller signs as opposed to one bigger sign. Todd Pressman stated that this store is a hybrid. It is four separate, distinct, diverse uses under one store. The city's code states that in cases where three or more separate stores or businesses are located on the same premises, per square footage, an additional 25 square feet should be allowed. He stated that when this use is addressed to the code, it triggers virtually every element of the code that permits an increase. This site does need more square footage and it is well justified. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that site obstruction, trees, will be demolished during construction, so this will not account for any site visilility. There isn't anything in the argument that substantiates avocation of more than one sign. This is a PCD which means that the codes and regulations are not typical of everything in the book. PCD is more stringent. Mr. Skat asked what is more important, the two signs or the square footage. Mr. Pressman stated that the priority is S.R. 46. He indicated that something is needed on Rinehart, that this is the weaker area. M r. Mc stated that the 75' makes more sense than Was far as allowing signs. Frontage on two streets is a peculiar situation. He agreed that with two streets, two signs are needed that conforms to 75' for each. M r. Marder stated that the code reads that 50 square feet is allowed, and above 10,000 square feet up to 25,004 another 25 square feet is permitted. One 75 square foot sign is allowed by right, 25' tan. The City encourages most of the aggregate square footage to be on the building. It is optional with double frontage to have a second sign. Mr. McClanahan moved to grant two sigods, each one limited to 75 square feet. Seconded by W. Skat for discussion. r. Robert stated that he would rather see two signs with 5 square feet on Rinehart and 75 square feet on the other. Mr. VonHerbulis agreed. Mr. Shat withdrew his second and Mr. McClanahan restated his motion to grant two sins, one 75' and one 50'. Mr. Robert seconded. Mr. Marder asked that if two. signs are being considered, that the height and marnuYnerrt type signs be considered. Mr. Robert withdrew his second. Mr. McClanahan moved to approve 75' on one side and 50' on the other with a height linitation of 15'. Seconded by Mr. Robert. All in favor. Motion carried. Next on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a request for a Conditional Use for property located at 211 W. 25 Street in a GC -2, General Commercial Zoning Distract for the purpose of motorcycle sales and service. Patrick Hrabosky, 1307 E. Osceola Road, Geneva, was present. He stated that no motorcycles will be displayed outside, this will be for repair only. Mr. McClanahan stated that he doesn't think that this area lends itself to this type ofop� ration. Mr. VonHerbulis asked if the showroom was strictly for parts and accessories and how many employees will there be. Mr. Hrabosky stated that there would be no sales and he would have 2 other employees. He noted that he would have an exhaust system put in and that there is an existing garage door in the rear for service.

He stated that the site is too small for this type of operation. He stated that this area is congested already especially in the early mornings and in the evenings, and that it is entirely a residential area. Alain Beverly of Harrell & Beverly Transmissions, stated that he has been at this location since 1959. His concern is the proximity of the building to 25' Street with regards to parking. He is in opposition to this business at this location, but welcomes the applicant to come into Sanford. Another concern is a form of trash collection.
