VILLA NOVA, 3505 SOUTH OCEAN BOULEVARD (TOWN LOTS #87 & 89) , ANNE E. r CARR, DIRECTOR OF MARKETING, PRESENT. Chairman Galizia said Villa Nova approached the Building Official and requested the Community Appearance Board forego the procedure and re- view the Villa Nova application for a temporary sales sign. Members discussed the application and the logo which was incorporated into the Villa Nova sign. At the June 30, 1983, Community Appearance Board Meeting, members agreed no decorative logo was to be permitted on permanent signs . Anne E. Carr, Director of Marketing for Villa Nova, addressed the mem- bers and explained the sketch of the temporary sales sign which indi- cates a height of 15 ' to allow the sign to be seen above trucks park- ing at the site. The 'Grand Opening' is set for this weekend, said Mrs. Carr, and we are requesting approval of the sign. If no logo is permitted on a temporary sign, continued Mrs . Carr, we will have another one (without logo) made up. The sign must be erected so the public will be able to find the sales center, stated Mrs . Carr. i COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD Regular Meeting �., November 27, 1985 Page 2 of 5 Mr. Savino said he has no objection to a logo; however, there is a rule against a logo so members must decide if Villa Nova will be permitted a logo on their temporary sales sign. Mr. Arnold said there should be no blanket rule against logos as some are attractive. When Chairman Galizia questioned the actual size of the sign, Mrs. Carr stated it was 6 feet by 4 feet (24 square feet) and is 11 feet high to allow the sign to be seen above the height of a pick-up truck. When the sign is placed in the ground, said Mrs . Carr, it will be approximately 9 feet high, situated in the center, East of the construction fence. After a lengthy discussion, the following recommendations by the Com- munity Appearance Board were noted on Exhibit No. 1 of the Villa Nova temporary sales sign sketch which was dated November 27, 1985, and signed by Anne E. Carr to indicate her agreement. Sign should not be more than 8 feet from ground level to the top of the sign. Logo allowed on temporary sign only. Sign should be no more than 25 square feet.

Mr. William Walker, Resident Manager at Coronado Ocean Club, who signed the request of November 7, 1985, was not present at this meeting. Chairman Galizia stated members of the Community Appearance Board made a survey of the signs in question after the Special Meeting held r'►, November 14, 1985 . At this time, Mayor Sullivan addressed the members and thanked them for their service to the community. Members discussed the various signs at Coronado Ocean Club at length. It was stated that the entrance and exit signs should be just 2 feet high and illuminated. Mr. Savino said there is an exit sign on the West side at Coronado that measures 39" x 24" which is illegal. The Coronado Club sign (with logo) that is on the wall was never approved by the Community Appearance Board nor was a permit issued for that sign, said Mr. Savino. Mr. Keller and Mr. Arnold said the Coronado Ocean Club should be identi- fied with an address . Mrs . Johnson agreed that an address should be added to the entrance sign. Mr. Arnold said he has no objection to the wall sign at Coronado Ocean Club as the lettering is nice . Mr. Savino said he would be in favor of leaving the lettering on the wall. 4 COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD Regular Meeting November 27, 1985 Page 4 of 5 After much discussion, members agreed the following letter, to be signed by Chairman Galizia , should be sent to Coronado Condominium Association, Inc. , regarding their request for sign approvals . "In answer to your November 7, 1985, letter to the Building Inspector, the Community Appearance Board, at its Regular Meeting of November 27 , 1985, chose to disapprove all signs from Numbers 1 through 8. We are recommending that you have: one Entrance Sign with street number, not to exceed 3 square feet, to be 2 feet off ground level; and, one Exit Sign with street number, not to exceed 3 square feet, to be 2 feet off ground level (both signs to be illuminated) . The location is to be approved by the Highland Beach Police Department. We also find that the Exit Sign on the West side of the Coronado Site exceeds the size permitted by the Code and should be reduced in size, not to exceed 3 square feet, and should be illuminated.
