II. CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS:
A. COA 474: Community #6 Food Stores, 139 NW 5th Avenue, West Settlers
Historic District. Amjad (Michael) Hammad, Authorized Agent.
Item Before the Board:Reconsideration of a Certificate of Appropriateness
for the installation of two (2) wall signs.
The proposal involves a request for approval of previously installed flat wall
signs. The sign on the west side measures eight feet (8') by four feet (4') and
reads: "Community #6 Food Stores, Groceries, Money Orders". The sign is
plastic and features blue letters on a white background. The sign on the north
side is identical to the west side in dimension, materials, sign face, and copy.
Ms. Uguccioni provided additional background to the Board. At its meeting of
September 5, 2001, the HPB denied the request to approve the proposed
signs. The Board felt strongly that special attention was needed to the
graphic representation. The applicant was not able to attend the meeting to
adequately present the project and address the Board. Therefore, the
applicant requested the Board reconsider the proposal. The installed sign is
very similar to the sign it replaced, which was installed in 1999.
Mr. Hammad asked that the sign be allowed temporarily until he improves the
property, which is anticipated within one year. He requested that the sign be
allowed for 18 months.
It was moved by Ms. Elliott, seconded by Ms. McDermott and passed 7-0 to
approve for 18 months from November 7 , 2001 based on positive findings to
i
LDR Section 4.5.1(E) and LDR Section 4.6.7(F) to approve COA 474 for
signage for 139 NW 5th Avenue.
B. COA 488: Sundy Harvest, 10 SE 1st Street, Old School Square Historic
District. Michelle Balfoort, Authorized Agent.
Item Before the Board: Consider a Certificate of Appropriateness for minor
exterior alterations, change of roofing material from the original wood shake
shingle roof to a standing seam copper roof, installation of a free standing
sign and color selection.
Ms. Uguccioni presented the item to the Board through review of the staff
report. Staff recommendation to approve the request subject to the following
conditions:
1. That the wood shake shingle roof be retained.
2. That the material for the new railing and pickets be identified.
3. That the shutters adjacent to the south doorway be eliminated.
Ms. Balfoort the railing and pickets would be wood.
The Board discussed the application of copper roofs throughout the Sundy
House project. Some Board members had a concern with the change of roof
material to copper.
It was moved by Ms. Sloan, seconded by Ms. Sexton, and passed 6-0 based
upon positive findings with LDR Section 4.5.1 to approve COA 488 for the
sign and elevation change for 10 SE 1st Street with the following conditions:
1. That the shutters adjacent to the South doorway be eliminated; and,
2. That the roof material be changed to copper shingles.
III. DISCUSSION AND ACTION ITEMS
Dave Bodker stepped down from the following item as he is the landscape
architect on the project. Please send him a conflict form.
A. Recommendation to the City Commission regarding a waiver request to
LDR Section 4.4.1(C), which requires the combination of adjoining lots of
record which do not individually meet minimum lot requirements and were
under the same ownership as of October 18, 1994; for Lot 20, Subdivision of
Block 65.
Ms. Uguccioni presented the item to the Board. These are 50 ft. frontage and
the required lot size for the OSSHAD zoning district is 80 ft. frontage. Mr.
Tony Forman purchased Lots 19 and 20 from Mr. Henry Freeman and he sold
Lot 20 as a single-family residential site. He wants to convert Lot 19 into an
office building. In October, 1994, the City Commission adopted an ordinance
which required 2 adjoining non-conforming lots that are under the same
ownership must be combined to meet the lot frontage and area requirements.
-2- HPB Minutes 11/07/01
Since Lot 20 has been sold, the conversion cannot be considered until the
City Commission determines this as a buildable site.
There was extensive discussion by the Board regarding the request.
It was moved by Ms. McDermott, seconded by Ms. Sexton, and passed 5-1
(Simon dissenting) to recommend approval of the waiver in that the lot will be
consistent with the existing development pattern within the block.
