Snow Corr, 291 River Drive. Ms. Corr told Council she represented several people in Tequesta. . She told Council this building could be effectively changed without great cost or dissatisfaction. Ms. Corr felt the color is not in harmony with the surrounding area and that there is a poor arrangement of signs and too many signs with poor placement. MY,s;. Corr told Council that a good solu- tion would be to ask 'Council to form a committee to produce a new concept . to the building. Jack Reed, Waterway Beach Condominium Association recommended to Council that in the future, a developer should give the various boards and • Council an artist's rendering of the proposed building, landscaping and driveways. Stoddard told council that the sign height does conflict with the • entrance sign at Tequesta. He feels the color and stripping is somewhat out of character and there are too many signs. He suggested that maybe the "Chicken" sign and a few more signs could be eliminated. Maybe the street sign could be moved to the north end of the property. Mr. Tom Vani, Step-Saver representative told Council he is somewhat surprised at the complaints because his _company went through all the. board, committees, site plans and steps necessary for them to receive approval, which they did receive. Mr. Vani said that at the Community Appearance Board meeting, they did have an artist's rendering and left it with the Village, but he does not know what happened to it after it was left. Mr. Vani told council his company also showed pictures to the Community Appearance Board and at the Site Plan Review of what some of the other stores look like. Mr. Vani reminded Council his company did change the brick at the request of the Community Appearance Board and they also changed the color of the stucco. The orange, brown and yellow colors are registered trade- marks. Mr. Vani also told Council that any changes made like moving the main sign or the changing of the strips would be, in fact, a large mone- tary expense to his company. The stripping has. to be completely pulled off and replaced. It can not just be painted over because it would peel. The cost of installing the sign alone was $6,000.00, the cost of the sign was $3,000.00. Mr. Vani told Council his company could sit down in a workshop and review with Council or a committee some ideas or suggestions; Mapes moved, .- - Minutes of the Council Meeting February 12, 1985 `j Page 3 - / "that the Mayor appoint a committee to sit down with Mr. Tom Vani and see what they can come up with and bring it back to Council."
