of 3 square feet; "Business hours" signs shall be a maximum of 2 square
feet and "credit card" signs shall be a maximum of 2 square feet. The City
Manager also proposed a "menu sign" with an extra 20N of the gross
glass area which shall nct exceed 4 square feet, shall be matted or
framed, must be enclosed in a casing attached to the building with the
casing design and color architecturally compatible with the building
design and color. The casing shall not extend more than 2 inches in
depth away from the building, and shall not be directly illuminated.

(d) stating signs shall not be directly illuminated.
Beverly Pope of Northern Palm Beaches Chamber of Commerce, addressed the
City Council, stating that in the meeting with Mr. Orr, there was
discussion regarding the possiblity of having the total percentage be 25%
with flexibility in the sizes of the signs. There was a consensus of the
City Council to allow the total of 25% of the gross glass area for
signags.
Per Councilman Kiselewski's recommendation, the City Council directed
Attorney Brant toamend the ordinance to clearly state the menu sign must
be clearly attached to the leased space.
In response to Councilwoman Monroe, the Council agreed to insert "by
written approval" before "tne B,.,sding Official" in item (e) under "Meru
Sign ".

may have something similiar which could be considered a menu.
There was a consensus of the City Council that a menu relates to a
restaurant which has a printed menu advertising food.
Fred Rogerson, Big A Auto Parts, addressed the City Council and stated he
felt other businesses which are not restaurants are being discriminated o
against because of the menu sign.
Jeff Alianiello, Mail Boxes Etc., addressed the City Council and stated he
did not feel 25% of the gross glass area was enough to advertise all the
services, and requested information re: the Council's intent on arriving
at that figure.
Mayor Martino stated the merchants are gaining an additional 10% for win-
dow advertising.
In response to Councilwoman Monroe, the City Manager stated he has
reviewed sign codes from Boca Raton, Scottsdale, and Colorado and all
address minus one way or the other. Councilwoman Monroe stated she agrees
with the concept but feels the amount of square footage should be
eauitable between the businesses. Councilman Kiselewski suggested a
compromise which would allow the merchant to have 25% of the gross glass
area for advertising, but if the merchant chooses to use the 4 square feet
for a menu, they could use the 4 square feet of their 25% for an outside
menu box.
Jay Alexander, Alexander's Gourmet, addressed the City Council and stated
not all businesses are the same in the amount of window space available.
Mr. Alexander stated that a menu is a list of items and feels that if it
is tastefully done it should apply to all businesses.
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING, 5/10/90 PAGE TEN
Matt Reynolds, Sound 4:,,nly. addressed the City Council and stated in his
business he advertises the releases for that particular week and feels
that equates to a menu.
There was a consensus of the City Council to define a menu sign to only be
associated with a restaurant. There was also a consensus to allow all
businesses 25% of their gross glass area for advertising, but should a
restaurzt elect to have an outside menu, that amount, up to 4 square
feet, will be counted towards the total 25% allowed.
Regarding Section 155.15, the City Manager stated the suggestion has been
made to allow framing of the interior glass window area with neon, with
the intensity of illumination not to exceed _- foot candles. The City
Manager stated the color tone of the neon must be consistent with the
exterior of the building within the shopping center.
After discussion, there was a consensus to insert "shall be determined by
Site plan approval or City Council if a PUD" after "contained" in the 3rd
paragraph of Section 155.15, 4th line.
Beverly Pope, Northern Palm Beaches Chamber of Commerce, addressed the
City Council regarding public right -of -way stating her understaiding was
that a parking lot is not a puolic right -of -gray.

public right -of -way is a right -of -way maintained and open to the public by
some governmental body." in the definition section of the Ordinance.

lighting around her interior °window.
