REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
OCTOBER 6, 1998
Mr. Rosenstock stated the Auto Care sign has too many colors. He recommended that the
Commission require the developer to use only one additional color for the remainder of the
tenants who would be occupying space on the sign.
Motion /"
Commissioner Titcomb moved approval subject to staff review of the exhibits tonight, the
monument sign versions designated as Exhibits 1 and 2, with the two stipulations of a full
review by staff on both measurements and layout of these signs as well as the stipulation of the
choice of one color only for all tenant infill plaques in the remaining slots (i. e., the blue).
Commissioner Denahan seconded the motion.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz appreciated the work done by the applicants to revise this plan. She
further thanked the Planning & Development Board members for their perceptiveness in
realizing the original sign was not suitable for the building. She is pleased with the end
product.
Attorney Cherof pointed out that there were seven slots shown on the exhibits that did not
indicate "future tenants", For the purposes of the motion, he explained those slots should be
included in the motion.
Commissioner Titcomb explained that his motion implied that those spaces were for future
tenants and they must be in compliance with the "one color rule".
Mayor Taylor requested that the record reflect the fact that all future tenant signs would be
advertised on the sign in the one color.
The motion carried 5-0.
G. Approve the purchase of a scoreboard and bleachers for Ezell
Hester, Jr. Parle using funding from the Recreation Dedication
Reserve Account #641-000-1-473.60. Bleachers to be purchased
from Outdoor Aluminum at a cost of $18,198 under SNAPS
agreement #805922, and the scoreboard to be purchased from
Scoreboard Enterprises at a cost of $5,995
Mayor Taylor is in favor of the scoreboard at Hester Park, but is concerned about the cost of
approximately $12,000 to purchase the scoreboard and install it. He questioned whether or not
this item was put out for bid.
John Wildner, Parks Superintendent, said staff did many comparisons with respect to the
scoreboard and the one that is recommended was selected by P.A.L. Scoreboards can cost as
little as $1,500 and as much as many thousands of dollars more than the one recommended.
Installation of the scoreboard is expensive from an outside contractor, but staff is confident
Facilities Management would be able to do some of the work In an effort to reduce the cost of
installation from the original estimate. Mr. Wildner confirmed that this scoreboard is much
smaller than any scoreboard that would be found at area high schools.

REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
OCTOBER 6, 1998
Mr. Burson advised that the petitioner has worked very hard to give the City a very attractive
complex. There will be concrete instead of blacktop throughout the project. This signage will be
controlled to maintain the integrity and dignity of the property.
Mayor Taylor feels a great deal can be done with landscaping. He requested that the petitioner
do the best job possible with shrubbery to maintain the integrity of the Congress Avenue
corridor. Mayor Taylor is pleased with the changes that were made. He would not support a
motion that would approve the sign that is on the agenda, but he would support a motion to
approve the revised sign. .
Attorney Cheraf explained that Exhibits #1 and #2 (handed out this evening) must be
incorporated into the motion and be made part of the record.
Commissioner Titcomb is very pleased with the correction on this project. He questioned
whether or not the City has a condition with respect to the number of colors in conjunction with a
project and its signs. Mr. Rumpf explained that what is currently in the Code has been applied
to the building signage - not freestanding signs.
Commissioner Titcomb recalled extensive discussions with the petitioners at Woolbright Place
regarding colors and signage for multiple tenants to create an overall look. He questioned
whether or not there could be a monochromatic approach to this sign or a limitation. Mr. Rumpf
explained that the petitioner has stated that the colors will be limited to those depicted on the
exhibits. The future tenants will be advertised with the color blue.
Mayor Pro Tern Tillman feels the language needs to be changed so that the City dictates how a
sign will appear.
Ms. Stauffer agreed that no other colors would be introduced. The future tenants would have to
be blue copy on white background panels. Red is being left as an option.
Attorney Cherof said he is not clear on what was expressed on this condition. He questioned
whether the tenant section would be consistent in color or variable in color. That needs
clarification and he recommended expressing this in a condition of approval that the tenant
portion of the sign be all one color.
Commissioner Denahan can support this p 'oject and suggested that revision of ':he Ordinance
be addressed at the October 19th ad hoc committee meeting.
Commissioner Titcomb did not feel that would be the appropriate time to address the
Ordinance.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz feels prior to addressing this issue at a workshop meeting, there should
be a meeting with all people involved including staff who could provide recommendations to the
Commission. At the present time, the ad hoc committee is trying to develop some minimum
standards for landscaping of existing buildings. Signage will be addressed at a later date
following strong recommendations from staff.

Commissioner Oenahan moved to approve Consent Agenda Item 0,3. Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz
seconded the motion that carried unanimously.

Request approVil/ ~ sign progl7lm (TAl/LED 70 ZD/06)
Commissioner Titcomb requested information from the applicant since this item has been
controversial. He pOinted out that the trend has been to use monument signs along Congress
Avenue and questioned the reason why this sign is a pole-tYpe sign.
Motion
Mayor Pro Tem Tillman moved to remove this item from the table. Commissioner Oenahan
seconded the motion that carried unanimously.
Annette Stauffer of Sign Craft and Gerald Burson, President of the Company, approached the
podium. Ms. Stauffer displayed graphics that depicted the originally proposed sign. When staff
requested changes, new graphics were presented to the Planning & Development Board two
weeks ago. The new proposal meets staff's recommendations.
Commissioner Titcomb explained that although the buildings on this site have been
controversial, in his opinion, they are very handsome, He felt the pole signs were not
compatible with the buildings. The new drawings submitted this evening indicate a pleasant
change to a monument sign.
Ms. Stauffer explained that the smaller of the two signs located on Woolbright Road is 14'-6".
The larger sign on Congress Avenue has been reduced to 18'-6" in response to staff's
recommendation to reduce the sign to less than 20'. Staff also requested that the applicant
reduce the width of the sign from 12' to 11'. The secondary sign has been reduced by 3'.
Maurice Rosenstock, One Villa Lane, a member of the Planning & Development Board,
congratulated Lube Connection for the reduction in this sign. While sign appearance is a
subjective opinion, Mr. Rosenstock recommends that the color combinations be limited to blend
together. If the City allows everyone to put their logos on signs regardless of the colors of those
10gos,.'I serious problem will be created in this City.
In response to Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz, Mr. Rumpf explained that the Community Design Plan
has a limitation on colors. In the past, that restriction has been placed on the building signage
itself. This sign conforms to those requirements with the exception of the color blue that
replaces the color black. That change is positive and does not conflict with our Code
requirements. Mr. Rumpf pointed out to the Commissioners that the sign listed on the agenda is
the former sign. Staff has not yet reviewed the revision. Mr. Rumpf reviewed the proposed
change with the petitioner just prior to this meeting and at a cursory glance, it appears to meet
the additional restrictions placed on it by staff.
