OCTOBER 20 1988
I. The Finance and Administration Committee of the Tequesta
Village Council held a Workshop Meeting on Thursday, October
20, 1988 at 9:00 A.M. in the Village Hall Council Chambers, 357
Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, Florida, for the purpose of
discussing proposed changes to the Village Zoning Code Sign
Regulations. Committee Chairman Earl L. Collings called the
Workshop Meeting to order at 9:00 A.M. Village Officials
present were: Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager; Wendy K.
Harrison, Administrative Assistant to the Village Manager;
Scott D. Ladd, Building Official, and Bill C. Kascavelis,
Finance Director /Clerk.
II. REVIEW AND DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE ZONING CODE
SIGN REGULATIONS
Committee Chairman Collings reviewed the history of the Village
sign ordinance provisions and referred to various sections of
the current Village sign regulations contained in Section XII
of the Village Zoning Code of Ordinances. (A copy of Section 12
Sign Regulations is attached to these minutes for informational
purposes)
Mr. Collings noted the first shopping center developed within
the Village was Village Square Shopping Center followed by
Gallery Square Shopping Center, which at that time was located
within the unincorporated area of Palm Beach County, followed
by Tequesta Plaza, Lighthouse Plaza, and the Fashion Mall.
Other commercial establishments included: Bill Hart
Professional Building, Texaco Service Station, Plaza 222, and
Hardy's Restaurant, which at present are currently in
violation of the Village Sign Regulations with regard to
setback requirements or the square footage size of signs for
such businesses. He noted the more recent developments such
as Tequesta Shoppes, Step- Saver, Paine Webber and Office
Products were in compliance with current Village Sign
Regulations, with one exception, the Norton Tire and Good Year
signs of which one sign is in violation of the Village Sign
size Regulations.
Councilmember Collings opened the meeting to discussion from
the merchants and business representatives in attendance. He
indicated a desire to hear their comments and concerns with
regards to suggestions for amending or improving the Village
Finance & Administration Committee

--------------------------------------------
Sign Ordinance Regulations; however, consideration for
protecting the physical appearance of the community and
preserving the scenic and natural beauty of the Village should
not be ignored.
Following is a list of comments and suggestions presented:
1. The present sign regulations for shopping centers which
limits the size of a sign designating a shopping center to
60 square feet, limits the designation of tenants within
the shopping center which does not benefit the business
climate.
2. A landlord /tenant relationship somewhat determines the
number and contents on signs located within shopping
centers.
3. The number of free standing signs located within a shopping
center should be determined by the size of the shopping
center. Consideration should be given to permitting one
free standing sign for each 200 linear foot frontage rather
than the current regulation of one free standing sign for
every 300 linear foot frontage of a shopping center.
4. The number of tenants and the linear foot frontage of a
shopping center should determine the number of signs
permitted within a shopping center. A formula could be
devised taking the circumstances under consideration which
would possibly indicate additional square footage in excess
of the current 60 square foot maximum signage is
appropriate.
5. A free standing building should not necessarily require a
60 square foot sign.
6. The planting of Palm trees along U.S. Highway One has
restricted visibility to the shopping centers to some
extent, thus, additional signage should be considered.
7. Sign regulations should be conforming, however, not too
restrictive.

-----------------------------------------
Upon completion of the discussion, Councilmember Collings noted
that signs are not considered as a marketing devise but rather
provide identification of a business. The Village Manager
expressed concerns with the method of dealing with out - parcels
at shopping centers. Member Collings reiterated that Village
signage should be conforming, however, not too restrictive. He
thanked those in attendance for expressing their concerns and
comments concerning the matter being reviewed, and he noted a
summarization of their comments would be reviewed and discussed
with the Village Community Appearance Board for further study.
There being no other matters to be discussed, the meeting was
adjourned at 10:10 A.M.

of said property shall be sold or transferred by the owner(s) or

(C) The unity of title declaration shall be filed at the expense

Re: Notice of Appeal
Attn: Cyrese Colbert June 19, 1985
On Wed., June 19, 1985, the Village of Tequesta Community
Appearance Board voted on our application for a free standing sign.
They decided it was fine except for the size and the height of the
pole.
We requested an 8 x 12 sign. They told us we could only have
a E x 8 sign. We requested a 20 foot pole they told us we could
only have a 15 foot pole.
We would like to appeal this action, we feel we are l i
restrictions of the code. c?
