FINAL REVIEW FOR DOUBLE FACE 3 X 5 (15 SQ.FT X 2 = 30 SF TOTAL)
MARKETING SIGN FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4104 SOUTH OCEAN BLVD.;
APPLICANT: SSB LAND HOLDING, INC.
• Bob Dawson noted that the sign conformed with the Town's building codes. It was noted
that this is the same sign that the Board reviewed last month. There was discussion that
the sign looked like advertising, and code calls for black writing on white, of which this
sign has "coming soon" in red. The content of the sign was discussed, and Mr. Dawson
stated under code, everything on the sign is allowed. Comment was made that the sign
needs to come down when the CO is issued. Also two conditions were put in place, to
change the red print to black (entire sign will be black on white), and to add the street
address. MOTION was made by MR. BELL/MR. HADEED to approve a sign with the
two conditions, the sign being in black and white and the addition of an address
according to the lettering size in the Town code. The following rollcall vote was taken:
Mrs. Pembroke no
Mr. Townsend no
Mr. Stern no
Mr. Hadeed yes Motion denied 4/3
Mr. Bell yes
Mrs. Colarullo no
Mr. Burd yes
The applicant asked what the objection is, with Chairman Burd noting that they don't like
all the information portrayed on the sign. Mr. Sliney reminded that Board that this is a
construction sign, not a sales sign, and is a temporary sign, not a permanent one. It
• was determined that the code does not specifically note what constitutes a sales sign
and a construction sign. It was clearly noted that the sign expresses what is being built

on the property, and its amenities. Mayor Hagelmann noted how Mr. Norman has
benefitted the town in many ways, and asked the Board to reconsider their decision.
