The recommendation of the Historic Preservation Board will be transmitted to the City Commission for final approval. PROPOSED SIGNAGE The applicant is proposing to place a wall sign on the north wall of the building at the first floor level. The sign will contain the name of a new business (Perfect Balance- Martial Arts & Fitness) occupying the first floor of the building.

Roll Call: Roll call was performed. Board members present constituting a quorum: Ms. Clyatt, Ms. Dison, Ms. Lahiff, Ms. Shelley, Mr. Kurtzman, and Mr. LaMonica Absent: Mr. Ruiz de Castilla and Mr. Hochstim City staff present: Ricardo Soto - Lopez, (Planning Director), Sanford A. Youkilis (Acting Planning Director), Lluvia Resendiz (Administrative Assistant). M. Administration: The Board held a workshop to discuss the strategic planning for the future designation of historic sites. The Board divided the city map into sections and each member was designated 'a section where they will visit the surrounding sites in search of properties which have the potential of being designated historic. Ms. Lahiff made a motion that two members of the Board request the Mayor to allow them to speak at the public hearing when the re- designation amendment to the LDC is presented for second reading at the June 10, 2008 Commission meeting. Ms. Dison seconded the motion. Vote: 5 Ayes 0 Nays. Mr. Youkilis advised that staff will request that the Villagers postpone the grant for an additional six months in order to get the project going. The project could be funded in the new fiscal year. The Planning Department will have surplus funds and Mr. Youkilis advised that he will request the City Manager to allow him to reprogram the surplus funds and do the project in this fiscal year. (Ms. Shelley entered the room) IV. Approval of Minutes: Mr. Kurtzman moved to approve the April 21, 2008 meeting minutes as corrected and Ms. Lahiff seconded. Vote: 6 Ayes 0 Nays V. Certificate of Appropriateness Applications HPB -08 -018 Applicant: Alfredo Agon (Perfect Balance, Inc.) Owner: Harvey Amster Location: 5900 Sunset Drive (Amster Properties — Dorn Buildings) Request: Installation of wall sign HPB Minutes May 27, 2008 Page 2 of 3 Action: Mr. Youkilis advised that applicant was requesting to place a wall sign which will read "Perfect Balance and Martial Arts" at 5900 Sunset Drive. The proposed non - illuminated flat sign is 15 square feet and does not exceed the regulations for wall signs in the LDC. It was recommended by staff that the sign be approved with the conditions that the color red be replaced with another color. The applicant, Alfredo Agon, requested a second sign on the east side to also read "Perfect Balance" in order to provide business exposure. Mr. Agon advised that the second sign he was requesting will be smaller in size than the first sign. Mr. Kurtzman questioned the window sign regulations and recommended that the applicant install a window sign on Dorn Avenue in order to avoid the wall sign from impacting the building's structure. Mr. Youkilis advised that a permanent window sign is permitted however the window sign is limited to 10% of the window space. The applicant requested that it be on the wall because without the exposure the business will be difficult to identify. He requested that the Board take into consideration that within a year about six different businesses have come and gone in the Amster Building. After further discussion the Board agreed to approve a second sign along Dorn Avenue with the condition that it be smaller. Ms. Clyatt suggested the red lettering be replaced with dark blue letters because she felt that the red letters do not compliment the building. Mr. LaMonica recommended that the applicant explore different font styles in order to present a unified look. He felt that the proposed font was too strong, assertive, and loud. Ms. Shelley also felt that the font should be changed. Mr. Agon stated that he will incorporate the Board's recommendation and replace the red color lettering for dark blue. With regards to the font, the applicant kindly requested that - - -Mr. LaMonica provide him with the font style he would like to see the proposed font replaced with. Ms. Lahiff suggested having the first sign flushed to the center to better compliment the center of the building and that both signs are uniformed. Mr. Kurtzman replied that the columns will prohibit the sign from being centered to the fagade however. Mr. Kurtzman was also concerned about spacing. He felt that the sign should be symmetrically centered between the columns. Motion: Ms. Shelley moved to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness and Mr. Kurtzman seconded, with the following conditions: 1. Approval of a second sign to be affixed on the east fagade of the Amster Building (Dorn Avenue). 2. Replace the red colored letters with a dark blue color letters to match the awning. 3. Propose another font which should be more in character with the building's design and introduce the proposal to the Planning Department to make a recommendation to the City Commission. Vote: 6 Ayes 0 Nays The applicant requested that the word "Personal Training" be replaced with "Fitness." The Board agreed so long as the change is within the boundaries of the sign requirements. Mr. Youkilis advised that staff has no objection. VI. Historic Designations 1 Public Hearing: - None HPB Minutes May 27,2008 Page 3 of 3 I. Adjournment.
