This is for signage installation located at 7301 Southwest 57 Court, if staff can read it in, please. MR. LIGHTFOOT: Not a problem. I'll wait for everybody to clear the room.

This item is for the installation of signage at 7031 Southwest 57 Court. The applicant is for Biscayne Bank. At the September 4, 2012 ERPB meeting, this.item was deferred due to comments from the Board. As such, I believe the sign specifications weren't V. clear. I believe for the logo, you required it to have a plastic front opposed to what it previously had. Also, the sign above the bank MIAMI -DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

Therefore, the applicant has resubmitted si gnage for four signs for this building. They have reduced the size of the main bank entrance. Upon review, it is still larger than the one foot by eight feet. When combined, the lettering for Biscayne Bank itself is one foot by eight feet and the accompanying logo is eighteen inches by eighteen inches, which'equates to a sign larger than what the lease agreement still requires. That sign still complies with the land development code, but it's still a tad bit larger than what the lease agreement says. BOARD MEMBER CORRAL: What is a tad bit larger? BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: How much longer for your report? You know what -- BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: Wait, MIAMI -DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: Sharon, please, come on. It's common courtesy. BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: I know. BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: I'm sorry, Marcus, continue. Let him finish, please. BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: I know. BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: Then we can have your comments all you want. Marcus, please, finish. Sorry MR. LIGHTFOOT: No problem, no problem. What I have in my rep original height -- the on 18 -- had a total -- had a 18" and the total length o O ort is that the ginal sign was total height of f 186 which is approximately 13.125 square feet. They've reduced it down to the point where it's still -- when you take the total height of the sign, it's still 18" high, but the length was reduced to 114", which is about MIAMI -DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

So it still needs to be reduced further, so that it complies with the lease agreement that was submitted. The applicant did revise the signage details to show that the company logo would have a plastic face, which I believe was a comment from the Board as well Staff recommends approval for the signs, all of the signs, except for the one on the west elevation. Once again, all the locations are listed in the lease agreement. However, pursuant to the land development regulations for flat signs, you cannot have two flat signs and one facade. They're proposing one on the west tower and one on the bank entrance, all right? So, therefore, staff recommends approval with the following conditions. The approval for the north sign, the east sign and the west bank main entrance sign with the following conditions: The size MIAMI -DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

No exposed conduits or wiring. Any additional signage will require a separate submittal to the Board. Any comments and /or suggestions from the Board. Now please note that pursuant to the land development code 4.3 -- 20 -4.30, staff -- the ERPB does have the ability to approve the west tower sign, if they deem fit. Thank you. BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: You know-what, I am very discouraged that -- I mean, here we are again. This reminds me of the issue on Red Road, in the corner of Red Road and 80, with the tree and the sidewalk. I mean, nothing has really changed here. Nothing. And I know the applicant left the last time and waited until the end and didn't understand, didn't understand. I think they had two weeks to understand.

BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: And it was explained very easily of what the ERPB Board's recommendations were and what we didn't like, correct? MS. CABRERA - HERNANDEZ: Certainly. We always explain to the -- we always guide the applicants. BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: Okay. So here we are again with all the same, basically the same thing. BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: Okay. Real quick. If I understand correctly, the recommendation from staff is a recommendation for approval on the north sign, which is up on the tower. MR.

BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: And then the west down at the ground floor over the loggia? MR. LIGHTFOOT: Correct. BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: Now the west side, you have it up there also. BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: Well, no, staff recommendation -- MS. CABRERA - HERNANDEZ: Staff is not recommending that. BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: They're not recommending that. BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: Well, stop. I'm not understanding, so I understand. MS. CABRERA - HERNANDEZ: We can go in order per signs. BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: This one and this one.

That one they're not approving. My personal feeling on it is -- BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: No, that's another sign. BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: And that's just open to discussion to my fellow Board members is, I think it's more appropriate to have the sign on the north, as staff has said. I would also argue as well as on the west and not on the east. And then reduce the main entrance one to comply with code, which is reducing it by half an inch tall and by about a foot length. And they're done. That's just my suggestion. BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: I have a question. Are we allowed to have these signs -- we have never had signs -- Lourdes, we have never had signs on the top of buildings downtown; is that correct? Are they allowed or not? Let's get back -- BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: They're allowed. BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: They're al l owed? MIAMI -DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

CABRERA - HERNANDEZ: I just pulled out the previous tenant, retail tenant, the bank, HSBC, and there are clearly the -- actually, they were the first to occupy this building when it was first built. And here's the north -- BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: My question is, even though these were the plans, was this sign ever on the building, per se? Are you aware of the sign, if they followed through and put it on the building, even thought they got permitted to do so? MIAMI -DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

CABRERA- HERNANDEZ: If the building -- BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: On the building has four facade. Exactly. That's why -- the point is that they're asking for two on the west side. BOARD MEMBER SCHWARTZ: Right, BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: One up on the tower and one down at the loggia level. BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: First of all, I will have to say -- BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: Thank you, Lourdes. BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: You know, let me just start off here.

And let me tell you something, with all the signs there, there's no traffic. There's nobody -- you know. So the bottom line is, what-is the point of this? Because you're going to set precedence, you know, of all these signs. I think it needs to -- I mean, we need to know that you're there. We get it, but we don't need all these signs. MS. SCHWARTZ: We did discuss that, I believe -- I recall that we discussed that the western elevation sign should not be on the rooftop, that people in the downtown area, which faces -- BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: Downtown, MS. SCHWARTZ: -- downtown and where you live, like, you don't want to have to walk out of your townhouse and look at that rooftop sign, just as I didn't want MIAMI -DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

I don't believe that the western tower is necessary sign. They have the entrance sign. Yeah, the western one up on the top. I don't want to see our city turned into Time Square either. I think it looks trashy with all these signs. And I think you're right, people get it. We know where they are. You put one on the north elevation. You put one on the east elevation. BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: Let me -- is the north elevation the one -- BOARD MEMBER SCHWARTZ: That's enough. BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: Is the north elevation the one above town? Is that the top facing -- is that -- BOARD MEMBER SCHWARTZ: It would face -- it would face Sunset Drive, BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: And that's also facing -- BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: The north -- MIAMI -DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

So it won't be looking, you know, towards U.S.1, which is the north. And then the west one will be looking, well, towards U.S.1. as well in the other direction. BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: You know what -- BOARD MEMBER SCHWARTZ: I don't think that the western one should be there personally. Also, I think it does not add to the aesthetics of our town. I don't think it adds to the aesthetics of the building. BOARD MEMBER McCAIN right there. That's the hub BOARD MEMBER SCHWARTZ: And I think people get it.

You know, I'm willing -- I agree, no to the west, and I'm going to say no to the north, but you know what, the east one -- BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: Would you like -- would you like to go ahead and structure a motion? BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: Yeah, yeah. I'd like to make -- well, let metsee how you all feel MS. CABRERA- HERNANDEZ: Excuse me. BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: You know, the one on the east, the one facing east is facing Red Road. If I'm going to choose one, I would have to say that one. And the reason I'm going to have to say that one, because you're hitting all the people from High Pines, Pinecrest coming to South Miami from the north. So they're going to see, oh, well, Google says it's on Red MIAMI -DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC. (305) 373 -5600 1 2 M 5.

So I would agree to the east elevation. I would say the bank main entrance needs to be reduced. And I'm only going to vote for what's according to the land development code. The north elevation and the west, I'm going to say no. And let's not forget here, Board Members, in case you don't frequent this plaza, there is an additional sign that seems to evade us making a decision on, and that's as you go inside the plaza. Every establishment inside has a sign that, for some reason, we never get to approve here. BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: What, in the store fronts? BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: It hangs. BOARD MEMBER SCHWARTZ: Hanging from the inside. BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: Oh, yeah, MIAMI -DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: In addition, in addition, there's window decals on there. So, you know, from my standpoint, I would suggest making the bank main entrance to the land development code. And I will approve the east elevation. And, in addition, they're going to have that little sign in the plaza, but no to the north and no to the west. BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: Any additional comments or questions on this? And maybe we can get a -- BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: One more comment. BOARD MEMBER FERNANDEZ: Discuss with the applicant, so they're aware of what our intent is. BOARD MEMBER McCAIN: If the applicant wants to pull out this photo, I mean, I put an X and a yes.

Just so you understand, because we're going to make a motion. And maybe it will make it a lot easier if we're all on the same page about it Right now, as it stands, it looks like the majority of us are in agreement that the east sign is fine, as staff has recommended.

This application in particular was deferred, but maybe it got approved at some point and I guess it never got executed. I don't remember, to be honest with you. I wasn't living in South Miami in '05.

The applicant has revised. the sign in question and has provided the Board with revised signage details that provide more clarity on how the sign will be installed. STAFF ANALYSIS: The applicant: is proposing to ,install a total: of (4) signs that Will be mounted to the existing multi story building, Considered to be fiat signs, _Section 20-4.3(1)(5) All Other Zoning Districts., of the Land Development Code:, provides the following regulations for flat signs: FLAT signs with a total aggregate sign area, not to exceed twenty (20) percent of the area of any building face; for the purposes of sign regulation, there shall be considered to be only four (4) facades to any building; no single sign shall exceed two hundred (200) square feet in area.

West Elevation Bank Main Entrance) Originally, this sign was to have a total of eighteen (18) inches, a total length of one hundred and eighty -six (1.86), and a sign area of. approximately 13:125 square feet; which compiled with the regulations listed above for Flat Signs. However, it did not comply with the lease agreement that was supplied by the applicant. At the previous EXHIBIT "C', 7301 SW 57 Court ERPB "12 -062, _resented on September 18,.2012 Signage Installation meeting, it: was decided that the: sign be reduced so that it complies with both the lease agreement as well as the regulations listed above: for Flat .Signs.

However, the company logo portion of the sign. is eighteen (18) inches high, and eighteen inches long. Pursuant to Section 20= 4.3(1Vi)(1) of the land D,e_velopment Code,; The area of a sigm shall be computed by means of the smallest square, circle, rectangle, triangle, or combination thereof than will encatnpass the extreme limits of the- sign content; together, with any material or' dolor' krming an integral part of the background of the display or used to differentiate the sign from the, backdrop: or structure :against which it is placed, tiuf not including any - supporting structure clearly incidental to the display : Jtself or any other clearly incidental decorative element The proposed sign would have to be. treated as. one complete: sign. When 'calculate.d;. the proposed sign still exceeds the maximum length and he ght:.allowed .by the:Iease agreement. While the sign still cgrnpiles with the regulations listed for flat signs it =still .. exceeds that maximum requirements allowed in the lease agreement .... Because .of this, it: is :the recommendation of staff that the. sign be reduced further so that it complies with both the regulations listed. ih the lease agreement.

However even though this is a location that is permitted; in the Lease agreement,. staff cannot support it because the regulations listed for flat signs dictate that only one sign is allowed per facade, and as stated previously the proposed sign over the entrance is also on the west, elevation... East: Ele.vation,. The proposed sign still shows the company logo with lettering to the right that will read "Biscayne Bank" in blue lettering.. The proposed sign will have a total height of. twenty - one (21) inches, a total length of one- hundred eighty -six (186) inches, and a sign area of approximately 27.125 square fleet which does not exceed the maximum square footage allowed for flat signs.
