Flonda 33425 Re: Major Site Plan Modification Justification Our I:~!e No_: PUGA042 Dear MIke: This justif'ication is pursuant to the letter from Mr. Ed Breese dated January 28, 2005 for a wall sign modification for the west and south elevations to the site plan related to the Safe & Secure Self Storage project located on the Northeast corner of Congress Avenue and Southwest 30th Avenue. The site plan and project signage were originally approved on October 7, 2003. The project is now in its final stages of construction and the owners need their standard company logo and colors for signage on the building. This includes the corporate shield logo of the "&" and red lettering. The Lanham Act prohibits federal, state, and local governments from altering a registered trademark. When the site plan was originally submitted and approved, the wall signs were a beige tone. This same color is used for other architectural accents on the building. After further review, it became apparent that the wall sign would blend into the building and not be identifiable. We previously received a minor modification to change the color of the lettering on the free standing sign to cardinal red. This color has been chosen as a corporate logo for 0:\PUGA042\Letter to Rumpf. FeD 17, 2005,doc Mr. Michael Rumpf February 18, 2005 Page 2 of 3 Safe & Secure and as shown by the attached photos in Exhibit "A", is currently being used in the Safe to Secure facility in Royal Palm Beach. Clearly, the red letters are compatible with the architectural features and scale of the building and thus comply with the Community Design Plan. The red lettering is consistent with other signage in the neighborhood. If you drive through the City, quite frankly, red lettering seems to the predominant signage color. In fact, commercial buildings to the South and North of the subject site utilize red lettering for their signage, including self-storage facilities and other recent retail developments. Attached as Exhibit "B" are photos of existing buildings both to the north and south of the subject that are currently using signage with red lettering that is consistent with our request. Furthermore, we are not aware of any signage for commercial uses in the vicinity of the project that use beige tones. It is critical to our client's business that the signage for proper identification of this facility is consistent with the corporate colors that Safe & Secure has chosen and which are also compatible and consistent with signage of other commercial projects within the City of Boynton Beach. The proposed south wall signage at 1.8% and the west wall signage at 1.4% of the building frontage complies with all size regulations that are required by the City code. The other change proposed besides this modification of the color of the lettering is that the sign will actually be smaller. As indicated in Exhibit "C", a wall sign comparison chart, current approval for the west elevation is one hundred and thirty six square feet (136 sq. ft.) and the current approval for the south elevation is one hundred and sixty two square feet (162 sq. ft.). However, we will be reducing the size of each of these elevations to one hundred and seventeen point three square feet (117.3 sq. ft.). So not only will the signage be smaller, the signage will be the same size on both elevations. This allows for consistent and aesthetically pleasing signage. Furthermore, this is almost fifty percent (50%) less sign area than is allowed on the west elevation, and approximately twenty percent (25%) less than is allowed on the south elevation. The plans show that the scale of the signage is certainly inline with the project. Thus, our request for the red lettering is consistent with the signage in the area and throughout the City. If an attractive image is not communicated by signage, the business will rarely get the clientele it wants or be able to let people know the true flavor of the business, If a business's "aesthetic" appearance is not pleasing, the customer can, and often will, go elsewhere. An on-premises business sign is a critical element of a real estate site. One must understand the total effect of all communication available or being utilized by the business, particularly the communication afforded by specialized color. To maximize its full potential a business must be capable of being seen, and once seen, it must be capable of being remembered. O:\PUGA042\Letter to Rumpf. Feb 17, 2005,doc Mr. Michael Rumpf February 18, 2005 Page 3 of 3 Lack of recognition is a strong reason for use of a standardized sign and standardized color. Additionally, the sign must be distinguishable from its surroundings and must be sufficiently conspicuous to attract attention. Signs provide direction and needed information. As a planned, architectural feature a business sign can be colorful, decorative, even distinguished. For all these reasons, we respectfully request that the Site Plan Modification for the west and south elevations be approved. veCTrUIYYOUrS, ~~ankoff ( / ~SM:ek \ Enclosure O:\PUGA042\Letter to Rumpf.

Modification of monument sign letter color from dark beige to red and blue and change to proposed wording on the sign (as depicted on the attached plan); and . Modification of wall sign letter color from dark beige to red and change to proposed wording on the wall (as depicted on the attached plan) . Please be informed that the proposed change to the monument sign on the revised plan date stamped 1/11/05 is "minor" as defined within the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 4 - Site Plan Review. However, be informed that the proposed change to the wall signs on the revised plan date stamped 1/11/05 is not "minor" as defined within the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 4 - Site Plan Review. The wall signs may not continue to be processed by the Building Division as a permit application, due to the following: 1. According to the Community Design Plan section of the Code, sign colors shall be complementary to the colors of the structure on which it is located. The original approval of the wall signs achieved this requirement by utilizing the trim color of the building for the sign lettering. With the proposed change to red letters, two rows of verbiage 26 inches high and 21 feet in length, at a height of approximately 30-32 feet in the air, the sign becomes the most prominent feature on the building. This appears to conflict with the Community Design Plan. The monument sign, due to its small scale, was deemed appropriate for the corporate colors requested by the applicant. . Page 2 January 28, 2005 Staff is open to discussing other alternatives. However, the proposal should be more complementary to the building colors. Should you desire to continue the wall sign modification as proposed, you must apply for a Major Site Plan Modification and a Community Design Plan Appeal. As part of the application, you will need detailed plans, application fees in the amount of $1,150, and an understanding that the process takes approximately ninety (90) days. Should you desire to amend your current application to reflect the above comments, please submit revised drawings. Please contact me at (561) 742-6260 if you have additional questions.

The subject of this request is for a minor modification to the Site Plan Signage in order to be consistent with the Corporate Logo and colors. This will entail the verbiage on the signs being changed from Safe & Secure Storage to Safe and Secure Self Storage. The company phone number will also be included on the monument sign. The colors are consistent with the corporate logo, that is now established for other Safe & Secure storage facilities in this area. The dimensions will remain the same.
