John Hoecker, managing age for the Shoppes of Boynton, reporte that they are attempting to modify an entryway to one of tn major anchor tenant spaces. A grea eal of money has been invested in this shopping center, an there are no plans to do anything w " h will detract from its appearance. "Ross Dress for Less" wi occupy the largest space in the buil "ng. This area lacks identity. The space has been vacant for ove year, and that problem has been res ved by filling the space with "Ross Dress for Less". The problem countered in filling the space resul from the fact that the space is set back from the remainder of t center. Because it is an anchor s ce, and the largest space in the building, the owners feel it warran ore identity than currently exis 25 MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 19, 1995 MarkSal14archited for the project, reported that a new sketch exists which addresses staff's comments and his client's need for identity. They arrived at a proposal which replicates the triangular peaks, but extends the peak to a higher elevation over what was originally Freddy's. In doing this, the sign band can be placed in the identical height location in relation to the ground. He displayed photographs of the current conditions, and a sketch of the proposal. At a meeting with Ms. Heyden, there was discussion relative to bringing the two columns forward so that they are flush and will allow a location for placement of the "Ross" sign. If the peak is replicated to match the top parapet of the building, no advantage is gained. The sign will still remain at the same elevation, and will not be able to be seen from the street. The applicant is proposing to align the trim bands. This will then permit the "Ross" sign to be placed in line with the "Luria's" sign. The applicant is attempting to match the height of the "Luria's" sign. Mr. Saltz feels that if the Commission approves raising the peak, he can work out everything else with staff. Ms. Heyden advised that the applicant has taken staff's comments, worked with them, and met staff somewhere in between. The applicant is proposing a letter height of 72". The sign program for the shopping center was amended in 1993 to allow letters up to 48". She would approve the sketch as long as the letter height is not greater than 48". Mr. Saltz pointed out that when the sign program was amended to 48", it was done for Ben Franklin which is a junior anchor. "Ross" would not want a sign less than "Luria's". The original sign criteria called for all the anchor tenants to have one color sign, and all junior anchors to have another color. Vice Mayor Bradley pointed out that the project could be approved subject to the sign matching the size of Luria's sign. Commissioner Rosen asked for clarification on the design of the "Ross Dress for Less" sign. Mr. Saltz explained that the "Ross" sign is blue in color, and it is internally neon lighted. The sign has individual channel letters. Mayor Taylor inquired as to the height of the individual letters. 1000 Quincy, store architect for RossDJ'ess furless, explained that if they use 60" "Ross" letters, they would then use 30" "Dress for Less" letters. "Ross" would like to maintain parity with the other major tenant in the center. The "Dress for Less" portion of the sign will be located lower than the "Ross" portion. It is essential that the name "Ross" be the same size as Luria's (5'), and then the lower band at 30". Mayor Taylor feels this tenant will then have a sign, when the two lines are combined, which measures approximately 8'. Luria's may then have the same complaint. Mr. Quincy stated that the lower the sign location is placed, the more the planting area will obscure it. There is not sufficient room to place the entire logo in the upper area. "Ross" feels the 5' sign 26 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA Motion SEYl'I!;MBER 12, 1995 Mr. Wische moved to approve the signage for Boynton Estates,as prese~ted tonight, subject to staff comments.

COMMENTS BY MEMBERS Mr. Aguila stated that several meetings ago, Chairman Dube brought up an issue about this board acting in the capacity of the Community Redevelopment Advisory Board. He inquired about the status of that issue. Chairman Dube felt there was duplication of effort. He said he brought this up because the Community Redevelopment Advisory Board was not having meetings for awhile and they did not have anything to discuss. He said he had discussed this with Ms. Heyden, and she did not feel there would be any problem adding it to the Planning and Development Board agenda when something arises. Mayor Taylor advised that the City Commission has not yet officially discussed this issue. Mr. Aguila inquired about the status of RaceTrac. Mr. Haag advised that the berm along the west property line and the landscaping on the berm, as well as the sign and the unity of title connecting the little portion of the property that RaceTrac bought with the regular site, are the only outstanding Planning and Zoning Department issues. 18
