Mike as per our discussion,
The colors are already on the building and will stay in the same color palet.
We understand the sign issue and will work with the city as the other projects not to exceed the number. We are
ok that are signs are the 245.
Many thanks for the help and please let me know who I speak to your absence, and who thye letter is being
handed to in permits.
Have a great trip and we'll speak when you return.

Ryan, I've personally reviewed the minor mod plans to exedite things. Just a couple questions/notes. 1.
1. Color codes and swatches are needed; can they be provided at this time?
2. Construction projects are allocated a total of 250 sq ft of sign area, which can be broken down and placed on
the project site. The drawings show a total of 245 sq ft. This would max out the area. Unless perhaps you were
thinking about a combination of sign area and mural-type graphics which we could review for exception (non-sign
graphics such as what you see placed on the construction fencing of other projects).
Please respond and I will continue pushing this along.

Mike,
Nice talking to you yesterday.
The revised drawings were already received in your office, and they are so minor that it appears unnecessary to
go through this step. The changes on the revised set are as follows:
Canopy moved from the west to the east side of the front of the building
Added small backlit signs between the pilasters on the east wall
Deleted fabric canopy between pilasters on east wall
Added a small soffit on the west side of the front of the building
We have been trying to get this sales center open for sometime now, and (no fault of your department by any
means) we are hitting a lot of large speed bumps every step of the way. This building was an existing structure,
and will not be permanent. We have opened parts of Ocean Ave, and the reason for using this structure was to
help beautify and occupy this critical downtown corner during the upcoming years of construction.
For the above mentioned minuscule changes to be subject to comment and critic, it will only continue to delay our
progress. Please let me know if you concur with this and that this step can be skipped or if this paper can be
signed off on by you.
Thanks again for all you help today and in the years past, and I am sorry to hear about the broken foot.
Best regards,
Ryan

Ryan, in brief, minor modfication review is necessary for all building or site improvements proposed inconsistent
with an approved site plan. Since your appoved site plan did not include the temporary sales center, this separate
review is typical and necessary to review against applicable regulations. We coordinate this review with others
with the intention to minimize comments and time in permit system.
We only need 4 sets of drawings showing the changes (in this case it would be pages A2.02 and A3.01 rev. date-
5/9/06).
A letter listing the changes to the site and facades, written out to me or Ed Breese, Principal Planner.
A review fee of $100.
Once received, I'll get this turned around as quickly as possible. Let me know if you have any further questions on
this process.

Ryan,
When Mike asked about the building colors, he did not specify the new awning color. Is it also intended to
be the same color as the existing building? If not, can you specify the color and provide a small sample? Thanks,

Re: 500 Ocean Plaza - Sales Center

Boynton Beach, Florida
Ed,
This letter is in reference to changes that were made to existing building on site, as shown on Hirsch
Associates, drawings A2.02 & A3.01 dated 05-09-2006.
Items:
1. Existing roof overhang was removed from north-east corner of the building.
2. Added Pilasters with Backlit signs in between them on the east elevation of the building.
3. Entire North and East elevations have been refinished with stucco and accent band around the
windows.
4. Stucco band was added to the metal flashing.
5. New graphic sign box was added to the North elevation.
6. New frame stucco overhang was added with integrated recessed can lights on the north-west
corner of the building.
7. 2 existing door openings on to Ocean Ave. were removed and infill with masonry. Doors were
no longer needed due to combining of two interior spaces
8. Existing roofing membrane was removed and refinished with new roofing membrane.
Please contact me with any questions or comments.
Thank you,
