ARBY'S RESTAURANT
REQUEST FOR NEON HIGHLIGHTING
PLANNING & ZONING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM #92-164
FROM:
Members of the Planning & Development Board
~~
Christopher Cutro
Planning & Zoning Director
TO:
DATE:
August 6, 1992
RE:
Request by Arby's Restaurant for Neon Highlighting
(2015 S. Federal Highway)
The district manager of Arby's Restaurant located at 2015
S. Federal Highway has requested to add neon highlighting to the
roof of the structure.
The neon highlighting will be red and will be added to a portion
of upper roof line and front corners of the main roof.
The subject property is located in the Coastal Village design
area and neon is not a listed architectural feature in this
design area.
This structure was built prior to the community design plan being
adopted. In addition, other structures in the corridor have used
neon as an architectural feature, most notably Pep's Sea Grill.
We would ask that the Board determine if the applicant should be
allowed to use neon on the existing structure.
This item has been scheduled for Planning and Development Board
consideration on August 11, 1992.

In response to Mr. Fleming, Mr. Cutro said the applicant has indicated that he
will move the dumpster.
The motion carried unanimously.
D. COMMUNITY DESIGN PlAN REVIEW
1. Review request by Arby's Restaurant located at 2015 S. Federal
Highway to add neon highlighting to roof area of structure.
Mr. Cutro advised that Arby's Restaurant, located at 2015 South Federal Highway,
has asked to add neon light1~g to the roof of their structure. The highlighting
will be red and will be added to a portion of the upper roof line and front cor-
ners of the main roof. The subject property is located in the Coastal Village
design area and neon is not listed as an architectural feature in this design
area. However, the building was built prior to the Community Design Plan being
adopted. In addition, other structures in the corridor have been allowed to use
neon, most notably Pep's Sea Grill. Staff asked the Board to detenm1ne whether
or not to allow neon to be used on the existing structure, since other buildings
may try to do this in the future.
In response to Mr. Collins, Mr. Cutro said the Coastal Village architectural
design stretches up and down Federal Highway and is lapped over a series of
buildings that were not built in an architectural design. Mr. Cutro thinks a
precedent needs to be built, taking into account the architectural style of the
existing buildings.
In response to Mr. Collins, Mr. Cutro advised that this is not considered a
sign and that the amount of neon being placed on the building is minimal. He
considered it to be an architectural highlight.
Joe Trapani with Ryan-Markland Sign Company stated that neon lighting will
greatly increase nighttime business at restaurants because people will be less
fearful of coming out at night.
At this point in the meeting, Attorney Cherof returned to the dais.
Mr. Collins envisioned the area looking like Las Vegas if too many neon lights
are installed. Mr. Johnson thought red neon highlighting might be gaudy
looking. He asked if any studies have been conducted regarding illumination
affecting drivers. Mr. Trapani did not believe there is enough neon on the
building to cause an accident or look gaudy.
Chainman Lehnertz said whatever the Board does is going to provide a precedent
and he expressed concern about creating garish neon lighted buildings. He won-
dered if it would take away a little bit of the garishness if the two vertical
pieces of neon were removed. Mr. Trapani said Arby's has asked that those be
removed anyway.
Mr. Trapani plugged in samples of neon lighting to display to the Board.

Mr. Miller shared some of the concerns about setting a precedent of this kind of
architectural feature. Mr. Fleming pointed out that the Board has flexibility
and also that many restaurants have gone out of business in this area.
Mr. Cutro stated that the neon only covers a portion of the horizontal element
of the roof. He felt it would look better if it is extended along the roof
lines instead of just stopping in the middle of the building. Mr. Trapani said
Arby's Restaurant did not want to take on the additional expense to do that.
Mr. Davis asked how the sign requirements and criteria deal with neon.
Mr. Cutro said a wall sign can be done in neon and can be up to 1~ sq. ft. for
each lineal foot of building frontage.
Mr. Cutro pointed out that neon is not called out as an architectural feature
treatment in the modern district.
Motion
Mr. Fleming moved to approve the neon as submitted. The motion died for lack of
a second.
Motion
Mr. Collins moved to deny the request by Arby's Restaurant to install the neon
sign located at 2015 South Federal Highway in Boynton Beach. Mr. Davis seconded
the motion. The motion failed 2-4.
Motion
Mr. Fleming moved to approve the neon with the deletion of the two vertical
pieces. Mr. Miller seconded the motion.
Mr. Collins was afraid that Pandora's Box will be opened up by approving this
request and was not in favor of this type of illumination.
Chainman Lehnertz thought it was important to note that several members of
this Board have mentioned that this is not something they want to get out of
hand and needs to be restricted. It should be noted by any other applicants
that come before this Board that while some small judicious use may be per-
missible, anything too heavy would be looked at in disfavor.
The motion carried 4-2. Mr. Collins and Mr. Davis cast the dissenting votes.
8. COMMENTS BY MEMBERS
Mr. Miller wondered if the ordinance could be changed to include specific guide-
lines and to restrict the percentage of neon used. Attorney Cherof advised that
the Board can make this recommendation to the City Commission through these min-
utes and the Planning Director if the Board feels this might be a trend in the
future. He said it may be something that should be specifically addressed in
