Checkers is requesting relief from the roofing requirement and the architectural
features requirement.
When this appeared before the Planning and Development Board, there was a 3-3
vote; therefore, it has been forwarded with a negative recommendation.
Vice Mayor Aguila advised that he is opposed to the Community Design Plan, but
since it has not been changed, it must be dealt with. Adding features to a very
modern building does not make it a Mediterranean building. He suggested the
Community Design issue be addressed soon.
Commissioner Walshak pointed out that Texaco and Wendy's do not meet the Design
Plan.
.
Ms. Cottrell feels this building will be an asset to the community. This design
has been tried in only six other areas, and has been modified even further to
meet the design guidelines for the City. It is a modular building which is 141
wide by 54' long. Checkers has attempted to meet the language and intent of the
requirements. The total package of the design closely meets the intent with
only a few exceptions for which variances are requested. She displayed photos
of buildings similar to the one being proposed. Ms. Cottrell feels that with
the streetscape and the inclusion of the cut coral stone, the building will meet
the intent of the guidelines. There will be a wrought iron railing around the
patio and a fountain on the patio. The neon is mounted along the fascia and the
stucco treatment will be textured.
Commissioner Katz would like the sign to match the colors of the building. Mr.
Koncal said the corporate identity has been altered severely to meet the design
guidelines. A great deal of time and effort has gone into working with staff to
meet this styling. Mr. Koncal- said he would consider changing the monument sign
-~--to a teal and white sign in lieu of having to do a barrel tile roof. Since this
is a modular building, they are not equipped to add a barrel tile roof at this
time. He asked that the fascia and equipment screen be allowed as shown. They
will add the cut coral stone in lieu of the tile. There will be no black and
white checker on the building. The glass block is back lighted with neon and
they wish to keep that neon.
In response to a Question from Vice Mayor Aguila, Mr. Koncal said they would
attempt to do the columns in the cut coral, but he was not certain they would be
able to do so. If they cannot, they will paint the columns.
Vice Mayor Aguila asked if ~heckers has flexibility for the equipment shieid.
Mr. Koncal said they can make the equipment screen taller so that no equipment
can be seen. Checkers will have a satellite dish, but it will not be visible
from the street side.
e
Commissioner Walshak remarked that when finished, the building may be the best
looking building from 1-95 to Congress Avenue.
Vice Mayor Aguila commented that this building is attractive and Checkers has a
good product; however, he still feels this is the wrong site.

Commissioner Walshak moved to approve Item VIII-C.1. Mayor Pro Tern Matson
seconded the motion. She noted that this motion includes all stipulations and
the trading off of the roof for the sign. The motion carried 4-1. (Vice Mayor
Aguila cast the dissenting vote.)
'.~
Ms. Heyden noted that staff had not reviewed the photos the Commission viewed
this evening and she was not aware of whether or not they were the same as the
elevation staff reviewed and commented on. Vice Mayor Aguila said Checkers was
not held to the photos. They were held to the comments from the colors they
addressed and the cut coral.
Ms. Cottrell stated there are very slight differences from the elevations.
Mayor Pro Tern Matson said that the photos were only used as an example. The
photos were not part of the discussion.

The City Commission can decide that the use is not a ,ropriate and was never
intended to be allowed in the CBD, or that it is appropriate and is a matter of
interpretation. If it is found to be appropriate, a zoning code text amendment
should be instituted. That would require a $250 fee.
