I. The Tequesta Community Appearance Board held a regularly scheduled
meeting at the Village Hall, 357 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, Florida,
on Wednesday, May 30, 1990. The meeting was called to order by Vice -
Chairman, Paul Coben at 9:30 A.M. Community Appearance Board
members present were: Vice -Chairman Paul Coben, James Coble, Ruth
Maitland, and Victor W. Strahan. Steve Kennedy, Deputy Building
Official, was also in attendance.
II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
Deputy Building Official stated a discussion was needed regarding
the standard signage at the Fashion Mall Shopping Center. The
Agenda was approved as amended.
III. NEW BUSINESS
A) An application from Norah Lind, d/b/a The South Pole, for the
installation of two (2) single face illuminated wall signs at
150 U.S. Highway One, North (The Fashion Mall); a 2' x 16'
sign on the east elevation, and a 2' x 4' sign on the south
elevation.
In attendance with Norah Lind was Wendell Baker of Baron Sign
Company who stated that the sign for the east elevation had been
redesigned from a 2' x 16' to a 2' x 15' sign. Vice -Chairman Coben
explained to the Board that a standard sign concept for Fashion Mall
had been previously approved. Mr. Coben pointed out there is a
variation to that standard comprised of a red line on the Heidelberg
sign. It had been previously requested to adjust the sign standard
to allow for that red line. Before the Board today is another
request to allow for a variation from the standard, to allow for

blue outline to the lettering. Norah Lind explained this would be
the third South Pole to have been opened, and blue is representative
of the South Pole profile and image. She presented a sample of
their blue wrapping paper, and explained the floors are done in blue
and white tile. She stated she was trying to compromise between
conforming to the sign standard at Fashion Mall while at the same
time trying to maintain some uniformity to the South Pole image.
Ms. Lind presented a letter from Ed Nelson, owner of the Fashion
Mall, approving white lettering with a blue border. She stated she
did not presently have a color rendition of the proposed sign.
Steve Kennedy explained the sign standard calls for the color
"ivory", not white. Ms. Lind explained Carpet Kingdom there at the
Fashion Mall has white lettering on their sign. Mr. Kennedy
explained Carpet Kingdom may be in violation.
Vice -Chairman Coben stated he would feel much better about making a
decision with a color rendition of the sign before him. Mr. Coble
felt introducing the blue would add an additional color to the
shopping mall signs, and deter from uniformity. Mr. Baker argued
that the blue trim to their lettering would increase visibility
during the day and night. Ruth Maitland stated that each business
could plead their case for having their sign to comply with the
businesses wishes, but the point is to maintain uniformity at the
shopping center.
Boardmember Maitland moved to defer decision until a color version,
with the proposed lettering and typestyle, is presented for the
Board's review. Boardmember Coble seconded the motion. The vote on
the motion was:
James Coble -
for
Ruth Maitland -
for
Victor Strahan -
for
Paul Coben -
abstained
the motion therefore passed and was adopted.
After discussion with Norah Lind, Wendell Baker reported that The
South Pole sign would comply with the Code and there would be no
need to return before the CAB. Steve Kennedy explained a new
rendering of the sign would have to be presented to the Building
Department to receive a permit.

V. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
There was no unfinished business.
VI. ANY OTHER MATTERS
Steve Kennedy discussed with the Board the fact that many of the
signs at Fashion Mall included red accent. It was suggested that
the Standard Sign Approval for Fashion Mall could be amended to
include red accent, subject to Ed Nelson's approval, or, the
Building Department could contact Mr. Nelson, to suggest he sake an
application for a change. Vice -Chairman Coben suggested that if
this is done in the form of a letter to Mr. Nelson, the letter
should also advise that Carpet Kingdom's sign is not acceptable.
Steve Kennedy informed the Board that that would be a Code
Enforcement issue.
The Board agreed the Building Department should contact Mr. Nelson
to resolve the red accent issue in the signage at Fashion Mall.
VII. ADJOURNMENT
