OLD BUSINESS
There was no old business to come before the Commission.
NEW BUSINESS
Chair Charming expressed concern with the lights being too bright at the newly remodeled Shell station
at the corner of PGA Boulevard and Military Trail. Mr. Glidden commented the lights at ABC Liquors
were also too bright, and that they had not been shown on the elevation presented to the Commission.,
so that something might be able to be done. Discussion ensued regarding the lights at the Shell Station.
Chair Channing expressed his opinion that the lights were dangerous because they attracted the attention
• of drivers, and requested a specific requirement in the future for lighting. Growth Management Director
Manning verified the lights at ABC Liquors had not been shown on the elevation presented to the
Commission, and that the lights at the Shell Station could be considered a safety hazard, opening the door
to obtain correction. Recessed lighting for both locations were recommended. City Attorney Post
commented that the code provided for prohibition of general nuisances, which would provide an
alternate means of correction if cooperation was not forthcoming..
