The hours allotted for the Reclaimed Water Project have been exceeded due to construction delays by Dial Communication. The Contractor, Dial Communication has agreed to pay the City for the additional cost of the engineering inspection service. The City has invoiced Dial Communication in the amount of $6,336 and the City has received payment for this amount. In turn, Quentin Hampton & Associates will invoice the City for the above amount for the additional inspection service. Recommend the approval of additional inspection service by Quentin Hampton & Associates in the amount of $6,336. CC: File RICHARD W. FERNANDEZ, P.E. MARK A. HAMPTON, P.E. BRAD T. BLAIS, P.E.

DRAWER 290247 PORT ORANGE, FLORIDA 3219-0247 RECEIVED APR 16 1999 April 14, 1999 Ed Gardulski Public Works Director City of Cape Canaveral 105 Polk Avenue Cape Canaveral, FL 32920 CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL RECLAIMED WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS PHASE II & III Dear Ed: This letter is being sent to document our telephone conversation this morning and to supplement our firm's previous letter to you dated April 5, 1999, which is attached. It would appear that the simplest solution to reimburse our firm for inspection services provided subsequent to the scheduled contract completion date, would be for our firm to bill the City for the services and for Dial Communications or its parent company to reimburse the City for our firm's inspection services. This is proposed instead of accessing liquidated damages because assessment of liquidated damages can effect the bonding capacity of Dial Communications or its parent company. At this time, it is expected that approximately two (2) more months of inspection services will be required to complete construction in Phase III as well as the punch list items in the other phases. Using our firm's standard hourly billing rate for the City using 112. day per day inspection for 22 work days per month, would approximate the remaining inspection fees on the project. They are estimated as follows: 2 months x 22 work days/per month x 4 hours/per day x $36/per hour = $6,336.00. It would be appreciated, if you could review this matter with appropriate City personnel as well as Dial Communications or its parent company personnel and promptly provide our office with authorization to continue providing inspection services on the project. As of this date, our firm has expended 4 days of 1/2 day per day inspection on the project that the City has had knowledge of subsequent to the established contract completion date. Perhaps Dial Communication or its parent company could transmit to the City the $6,336.00 of estimated inspection fees in advance and the City could disburse to Quentin L. Hampton Associates, Inc. when invoiced for the "pass through" inspection services provided on the project. This would result in an effective "no loss no gain" for all parties. It is believed that handling the payment for additional inspection services as recommended in this letter, is the easiest administrative remedy given the current circumstances. It should be noted that using the proposed administrative remedy results in payment to the City by Dial Communications or its parent company of $144/per day to the City to recover inspection services cost. Using the liquidated damages clause of the contract, effectively results in a $250/per day charge to the Contractor to recover inspection services. It is reasonable to assume that remittance of funds to the City in advance by the Contractor would truly be in the Contractor's best interest. It would be appreciated if you could provide written guidance in this matter as soon as practical, now that you are back from Reserve Duty. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact us. Sincerely, QUENTIN L. HAMPTON ASSOCIATES, INC. (Signature) Mark A. Hampton, P.E.

Boucher City Manager FROM: Ed Gardulski Public Works Director DATE: April 27, 1999 SUBJECT: City Council Agenda Item for May 4, 1999 As -Built Field Data Collection, Phase III Quentin Hampton & Associates The City's Contract agreement with Dial Communication requires that the Contractor supply the necessary field data of the installation of the reclaimed water line. This information entails the red lining of the engineering drawings as to the location and depth of the pipe as constructed. Unfortunately, due to the reorganization of Dial Communication and the turnover of personnel, much of the data for the "As -Built" construction is not available. In order for Dial Communication to meet it's Contract obligation, Dial Communication has agreed to pay the City of Cape Canaveral to provide the As -built information. In addition, Quentin Hampton and Associates has agreed to provide the service to collect the necessary data required by Dial Communication for the "not to exceed" amount of $2,300. The City has received a check from Dial Communication in the amount of $2,300. See attachments. Recommend the approval of Quentin Hampton & Associates providing the As -Build data for Dial Communication for the amount not to exceed 2,300.

Summary Explanation & Background: City Council had requested staff to consider such agreements in areas where there are no sewer mains. The Public Works Director will provide additional cost information. If the concept is approved, a formal agreement will be drafted. Please advise. Exhibits Attached: PWD memorandum dated 4/27/99 City Manager's Office Department (Signature) \\cape-nt\cityclerk\cityclk\agenda\regular\1999\cm agenda report #3 cost sharing.doc MEMORANDUM TO: Bennett C. Boucher City Manager FROM: Ed Gardulski Public Works Director DATE: April 29, 1999 SUBJECT: City Council Agenda Item for May 4, 1999 City Cost Sharing, Kelsey's Restaurant Sewer Line Construction The City's Code of Ordinances, Sec. 78.55(d), requires the owner at their expense to connect directly to the Public sewer provided that the sewer is within 150 feet of the property line. Kelsey's Restaurant is located at 8699 Astronaut Blvd. The City Sewer line is located about 500 feet from the property. The projected cost to establish a sewer line is $9,800. It is understandable that the construction of the four (4) inch sewer line installed by the owner will only serve the needs of the owner. Hence, any new sewer customers will have to install a sewer line to fulfill their needs. It would be to the City's advantage to have one sewer line constructed to meet the needs of the sewer collection of the service area. To meet this need, a larger gravity sewer line should be constructed. To accomplish this task, the City needs to have a means for cost sharing, on a case-by-case approval by City Council. As a guideline, it is recommended that the City shall bear the cost for the upgrades in service size. The owner shall pay the City, in advance, the established shared construction amount. In turn, the Owner's sewer impact fees shall be credited in the amount not to exceed 50% of the total sewer impact fee amount. The logic is based on the understanding that 50% of the Sewer impact fees are for the treatment facility and 50% are for the sewer collection system. Furthermore, Hartman and Associates are currently designing a reclaimed water line for the Port Authority that will extend along the west side of Astronaut Blvd. It would be economically feasible to allow this engineering firm to design and draft the necessary change order to the Port Authority's construction contract. This joint partnership will allow DOT permit and one contractor to work within the DOT right-of-way. Funds are available within the enterprise impact fee account. Recommend the approval of City cost sharing of the construction of a sewer line to Kelsey's Restaurant and to task Hartman & Associates to provide the design work.

Towne Realty, Inc. 710 N. Plankinton Ave. Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53203 KE: Shorewood ll - # 56 Acres, Preliminary E & T Survey Dear Mr. Borris: On November 18, 1998, EMS staff conducted a preliminary endangucd and threatened species survey on the referenced property. A two -person team of environmental scientists inspected the project site via pedestrian transects through the cleared area and along the outside boundaries, including the beachfront. Prior to the initiation of field work a background literature search was conducted for Brevard County to detatnine the legally protected species that have the potential to occur within the project Limits. Species Cysts were compiled by using a computer database maintained by EMS, which contains species occurrence by county and habitat type. Tables 1 and 2 were generated and aro included with this letter report. There were essentially two vegetative communities within the project sites The coastal dune community directly adjacent to the beach was dominated by sea oats on the oceanfront and a mature coastal oak hammock dominated by live oak and saw palmetto made up the remainder of the site. The only listed species observed to inhabit the project site was the gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphenus). There were numerous burrows observed within the dune area immediately adjacent to the beach. The approximate locations of these burrows are indicated on the enclosed aerials, however this was not a complete gopher tortoise survey done to Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission's (FGMC) guidelines. The gopher tortoise is a "Species of Special Concern", as designated by FGFWFC. A permit for the relocation or incidental take of this species would be required in areas that would be impacted. Some tortoise burrows were also observed within the five oak hammock area, however the heavy canopy and lack of open areas within most of this habitat was not very suitable for tortoises. The coastal construction limits line would likely be landward of the vast majority of the observed tortoise burrows on this site. therefore very few may be impacted due to construction plans. A more thorough survey should be conducted prior to obtaining permits. There were no other endangered or threatened wildlife species observed during this site visit as listed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service or the FGFWFC. There was no sign of scrub jays (Aphelocoma coerulescrens coerulescens) or their nests inhabiting this project site. The habitat on the property is unsuitable for this species. (illgible) The presence ofendangeted or threatened plant species involves primarily federal agencies. Section 7(ax2) of the Endangered Species Act requires federal agencies to ensure that any action they authorize, fund or carry out does not jeopardize the continued existence of any Endangered or Threatened species.

Towne Realty, Inc. 710 N. Plankinton Ave. Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53203 RE: Shorewood R - #56 Acres, Preliminary E & T Survey Dear Mr. Borris: On November 18, 1998, FMS staff conducted a preliminary endangered and threatened species survey on the referenced property. A two -person team of environmental scientists inspected the project site via pedestrian transects through the cleared areas and along the outside boundaries, including the beachfront. Prior to the initiation of field work, a background literature search was conducted for Brevard County to determine the legally protected species that have the potential to occur within the project limits. Species lists were compiled by using a computer database maintained by EMS, which contains species occurrence by county and habitat type. Tables 1 and 2 were generated and are included with this letter report. There were essentially two vegetative communities within the project site. The coastal dune community directly adjacent to the beach was dominated by sea oats on the oceanfront and a mature coastal oak hammock dominated by live oak and saw palmetto made up the remainder of the site. The only listed species observed to inhabit the project site was the gopher tortoise (Gopherus po phe mis). There were numerous burrows observed within the dune arca immediately adjacent to the beach. The appr oAmate locuions of these burrows are indicated on the enclosed aerials, however this was not a complete gopher tortoise survey done to Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission's (FGFWFC) guidelines. The gopher tortoise is a "Species of Special Concern", as designated by FGFWFC. A permit for the relocation or incidental take of this species would be required in areas that would be impacted. Some tortoise burrows were also observed within the live oak hammock area, however the heavy canopy and lack of open areas within most of this habitat oras not very suitable for tortoises. The coastal construction limits tine would likely be landward ofthe vast majority orthe observed tortoise burrows on this site, therefore very few may be impacted due to construction plans. A more thorough survey should be conducted prior to obtaining permits. There were no other endangercd or threatened wildlife species observed during this site visit as listed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service or the FGFWFC. There was no sign of scrub jays (Apherlocoma cocruleasceris coerulescens) or their nests inhabiting this project site. The habitat on the property is unsuitable for this species. (illegible) The presence ofendangered or threatened plant species involves primarily federal agencies_ Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act requires federal agencies to ensure that any action they authorize, fund or carry out does not jeopardize the continued existence of any Endangered or Threatened species. There were no listed plant species observed on the project site during this site visit. If you have any questions please feel free to call me. Thank you for the opportunity.

A draft report by the state Transporta- tion Commission, an oversight group, sug- gests that current rideship projections for Florida's bullet train might not be as solid in some ways as the rail system's consul- tants suggest. The draft identifies several "areas of potential concern" in the num- bers, including estimates of trips that would occur solely because of the new line.

McKINNON Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Three state-court cases could encour- age more malpractice lawsuits against doctors and hospitals. The cases challenge the constitutional- ity of a Florida law that sharply limits the damages available when a parent with adult children dies as a result of malprac- tice. In those circumstances, the wrongful- death lasw generally bars the adult children from seeking damages for their personal grief, even if they're the only survivors. Since personal grief often is the biggest source of damages in fatal malpractice cases, lawyers say the ban has kept many adult children from suing at all. By contrast, surviving spouses and mi- nor children can recover damages for their grief in fatal malpractice cases. And if a parent dies as a result of any other sort of wrongdoing, such as someone's neg;ogemt driving, the law allows even adult children to collect for grief, provided there's no sur- viving spouse. Plaintiffs' lawyers contend that it's a violation of constitutional protec- tions to treat adult children of malpractice victims so differently. "If a parent is killed by a driver in a car, or by a defective pro- uct... then they're entitled to redress," says Mike Murphy, a Coral Gables lawyer, "But not if the doctors do it. That's wrong." Mr. Murphy is challenging the restric- tion in a case in Dade County Circuit Court in which a 68-year old widower, Morris Mizrahl, died, allegedly as a result of mis- diagnosed sepsis. The other two circuit court cases-one in Gadsden County and another in Dade County-also allege that the victims died as a result of misdiag- noses. The two Dade County cases were thrown out by judges before trial o the de- fendants' motions for summary judgment. The Gadsden County case went to trial and a jury returned a verdict for the defendant doctor. The physicians and hospitals in- volved in all three cases deny liability. The plaintiffs in the three cases are seeking appeals, alleging among other things that the wrongful-death statute vio- lates constitutional protections, including equal-proctection guarantees. In response, defense lawyers and representatives for the insurance industry deny that the law is unconstitiutional.

Source Collier County One County Just, Says No To Architectural Abuse By CHAD TERHUNE staff Reporter of THE WALL .STREET JOURNAL What's good enough for most suburban boulevards doesn't cut it in Collier County anymore. Just ask Walt Lewis, who before arriv- ing in Collier County last year had built nearly two dozen identical Discount Auto Parts stores across Florida: big -box outlets emblazoned with the same eye-catching, bright -yellow marquee and the store name etched in bold red letters. In Naples, however, the yellow has given way to charcoal gray. And the box has taken on an added dimension—a four - columned archway greeting customers outside the front door. "I love it," gushes Mr. Lewis, who works for an Orlando -area construction firm. He loves the building so much, he had his picture taken in front of it. "The yellow doesn't stand out, and everything blends in," he says. "It looks more attractive." It all happened by design, thanks to two local men waging war against the boiler- plate architecture and general ugliness plaguing the nation's retail corridors. Tim Hancock, a former land -use planner turned county commissioner, and Joe McHarris, a former county architect, be- lieve their arsenal of building design stan- dards can keep Collier County from becom- ing another Anywhere, USA. Attention to aesthetics in urban design is nothing new. But Collier County has taken the concept to a new level. Typically, such efforts are confined to a single city or downtown area, which often just pushes the unattractive strip malls and warehouse stores over the border into suburbia. But Collier County's rules encompass several cities and more than 2,000 square miles. And while most design professionals have focused on housing and roadways, here the emphasis is on the commercial structures that visually dominate the landscape. "The concept isn't new, but our ap- proach is different," says Mr. McHarris, 32 years old, now an architectural consultant to local officials. He wrote the standards himself in late 1996 and illustrated them with simple drawings labeled, "Do this," and "Don't do this." Says Mr. McHarris, "I wrote down every pet peeve I ever had."

McKINNON Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL New questions are being raised about the number of riders who would use Florida's planned high-speed rail system. A draft report by the state Transporta- tion Commission, an oversight group, sug- gests that current ridership projections for Florida's bullet train might not be as solid in some ways as the rail system's consul- tants suggest. The draft identifies several "areas of potential concern" in the num- bers, including estimates of trips that would occur solely because of the new line. "I would say it's a cautionary finding," ex- plains Commission Chairman Lee Vause. In addition, the federal General Ac counting Office, Congress's investigative arm, has opened its own review of Florida's high-speed rail project, known as FOX (for Florida Overland eXpress). A pri- mary focus of the GAO review will be the project's overall financial plan, "including the federal government's role in financing the project, and how the [FOX] ridership estimates may affect the long -run financi cial viability of the project," according to a July 6 letter from the GAO to the U.S. De partment of Transportation. The GAO review was requested re cently by House Budget Committee Chair man John Kasich of Ohio. With the federal government poised to lend at least $2 bill lion to the project under recently passed transportation legislation, Rep. Kasic wants the GAO to find out "if the project has all its estimates in order ... before the federal government commits to the pro ject," says Joseph Christoff, the GAO's a: sistant director for transportation issue! Mr. Christoff says the GAO often is called on to review such projects. The federal review is likely to be influ enced by the state Transportation Com mission's work: Mr. Christoff said h. agency plans to attend next week's presen tation of the state Transportation Commis sion report in Tallahassee. Both reviews, in turn, are likely to carry weight with state lawmakers, particular: some incoming state House leaders, wl are nervously facing a decision during the 1999 session about whether to begin com mitting about $70 million a year in state money to FOX. That figure is slated to in crease by 4% a year, to a maximum Of S3 Please Turn to Page F2, Column 4 F4 THE WALL STREET JOURNAL FLORIDA JOURNAL WEDNESDAY JULY 29 1998 FLORIDA JOURNAL Just Says No to Architectural Abuse Continued From Page F1 book dictating everything from colors to the shape of walls and roofs. For instance, there will be no more brightly colored buildings—only earth tones or pastels, bor- dered by a two -foot decorative band of pri- mary color, usually a company's corporate hue. On larger buildings, walls can't run straight for more than 100 feet and the roof line must have three vertical interrup- tions, such as a cupola. Drive-through win- dows need a canopy attached to the build- ing, and those ubiquitous retention ponds will no longer be square. They must zigzag along the shore like a natural body of water with either a sidewalk or pier included. Nor are the two men finished. Mr. Han. cock wants to outlaw retailers' favorite buildingcolor: battleship gray. Mr. McHarris wants to stop the local McDon aid's franchisee from painting his roofs fire -engine red. The men are also prepar- ing to take on their most vocal opponents, the oil companies, concerning the giant and often brightly colored canopies that cover islands of gasoline pumps. "We've been leaving it open for corpo- rate America to decide the aesthetic future of our community," says the 31 -year-old Mr. Hancock, running for re-election for the first time this fall. "They are not mali- cious people. But I don't think they care." Many Floridians who have witnessed the state's explosive growth share those frustrations. But until now, little has been done about the hodgepodge of big -box stores and fast-food joints that clutter the landscape.- "The state's history has been growth at any cost, and now, it is time to shift gears," says James Moore, associate professor o[ architecture and community design at the University of South Florida in Tampa. "Florida's natural environment tends to be so beautiful, but our built envi- ronment is pretty awful." The effort has struck a chord in several Florida communities, from Gainesville to Orlando and Palm Beach. The two men also have received calls from as far away as Maine and Hawaii. In response, Mr. Hancock and Mr. McHarris travel around Florida and the nation delivering their message with a slide show detailing the good, the bad and the downright ugly. Mr. McHarris takes particular joy in flipping to a slide of a 7 -Eleven conve- nience store in Fort Myers. It's the kind of drab storefront seen most anywhere, ex cept there's also a huge, pink Slurpee on the roof. Next, he clicks to a Naples 7 - Eleven with lush landscaping more befit- ting a golf course. The store has full-length windows and textured rock -like walls. Collier County officials approved the design standards about 18 months ago, an in that time more than 200 commercial building permits have been issued. So far, no company refused to build or even filed an official protest. But that doesn't mean there haven't been complaints. Rules for gas station were removed from the initial standards under pressure from the oil companies, which feared increased costs and a loss of corporate identity—a vital marketing tool to passing motorists. Amsdell Cos., a national storage-center chain, chafed at giving up its corporate col- ors on a U -Store -It facility the company built here last year. Amsdell threatened to dispatch attor- neys to Collier County, but the company's local builder, Keith Sow- ers, . convinced them that a legal fight would only slow the project down. . But the U -Store It facility shows how sometimes good design inten- Joe McHarris tions can go too far. The new standards required Mr. Sowers to make a straight wall on one side of the building ragged with five separate inden- tations. In those recessed areas, he had to plant about 10 palm trees. Trouble is, Mr. Sowers says, hardly anyone will ever see that side of the building. It faces the back of a Home Depot where several Dumpsters and palettes of mulch sit. "The rules are great, but in some cases they are forcing people to overbuild," Mr. Sowers says. "You don't want to make things too pretty." Or too expensive. The construction costs for this storage facility grew from $25 to $35 per square foot, Mr. Sowers says. As a result, he adds, Amsdell, based in Middleburg Heights, Ohio, is re- considering plans for two more locations in Collier County. Before the new rules went into effect, Mr. McHarris tried to defuse concerns about increased costs by getting an outside contractor to estimate added costs for the new Discount Auto Parts and a Sports Au- thority store. The analysis said the new standards drove up those construction costs 2% to 5%. Even if it doesn't cost that much more, some still bristle at the thought of govern- ment legislating good taste. Jeffrey Zimm, a Naples ophthalmologist, was livid when a photo of his All Saints Eye Center appeared on the county's ugly list and in the local newspaper for having a blank wall facing a busy, four-lane road "I called my lawyer about suing their pants off," fumes Dr. Zimm, who later dropped the matter on his attorney's advice. Some local architects and builders feared the result would be a bland look of uniformity. So Mr. Hancock and Mr. McHarris structured the standards like a "Chinese menu" that gives builders a choice of various styles to ensure flexibility and creativity. "We don't dictate style," Mr. McHarris says. "We dictate form." The Collier County effort took off in 1996, when the area's first two big -box stores sprouted up at the same major inter- section. For years the county had re- mained a relatively small coastal refuge for retirees and tourists in the far south- west comer of the state. But from 1990 to 1996, the local population grew nearly 24%, making it the fifth -fastest-growing metro- politan area in the nation, according to census figures. That growth, to more than 200,000 people today, thrust the area onto the radar screens of national retailers. But the two stores that plopped down at the same intersection, Sports Authority Inc., Fort Lauderdale, and Toys "R" Us Inc., Paramus, NJ., caused an immediate uproar when they literally turned their backs on the community. Toys "R" Us built its entrance facing the parking lot, leaving a cold, blank wall facing the road. Across the street, the view wasn't much better: an even bigger gray wall supporting the Sports Authority. Mr. Hancock and Mr. McHarris seized on the public discontent and quickly arranged a meeting that drew 250 people to galvanize support for strict design stan- dards countywide. As a result, by their very ugliness, the stores became the tools by which building standards were raised They were the two angels that descended upon us," Mr. Hancock says. The idea was an easier sell here be- cause Naples—one of the wealthiest areas of Florida-has a reputation for being more persnickety than most. But Mr. Hancock says these easy-to-use stan- dards can be imple- mented quickly any- where. Neither Sports Authority nor Toys "R" Us could be forced to make any changes since the standards weren't adopted by the county commission Tim Hancock until early 1997. But public embarrassment from a slide show can help. After being featured regularly as a bad example, Toys "R" Us eventually added seven trellises with vines and a row of trees and bushes to its bare back wall. One -Time Improvement One of the first real tests for the stan- dards came about a mile down the road, where Lowe's, the North Wilkesboro, N.C., home -improvement chain, wanted to build a new warehouse store. Mr. McHarris knew he didn't want the store to look like one 30 miles to the north in neighboring Lee County. Mr. McHarris features that store, along with several other buildings from Lee County, in his slide show. In his view, the standard Lowe's store makes the ugly list because the side facing the road "looks like a freight yard." Huge stacks of plywood, steel girders and fork- lifts are all visible. Collier County's rules forced Lowe's to build a large concrete wall and several columns with fencing to screen off the lumber area and garden center. Mike Reynolds, Lowe's manager of con- struction permitting, says the additional work, which cost an estimated $500,000, "produced a great -looking store." But the company still prefers its prototypical stone, which shows off its garden center and other products to consumers. "We want people to see the product we sell," Mr. Reynolds says. "We are not there to just put up a pretty building." Indeed, some businesses in Naples proudly display their tackiness. Brian Ko- zlowski doesn't care much if his tiny Ac- ceptance Title Loans store is scolded in the county's slide show for its garish yellow awning and neon red car in the window. He dismisses the complaints as snobbery. "There Is a lot of money here and these people have nothing better to do" than complain, he says. "I want to be tacky." Officials from two larger counties, Lee and Orange, have expressed an interest in developing design standards similar to those in Collier County. But some question whether it's too late for Florida's larger metro areas to impose tougher design stan- dards when they've already been overrun by big -box retailers and strip-mail develop- ment. Lee officials say they feel compelled to draft their own standards after appearing in the slide show so frequently. "We are tired of being the butt of their jokes," says Mary Gibbs, community development di- rector for Lee County. "We are hoping they will find someone else to pick on." Sarasota County could have used these standards a few years ago, before Wal- Mart, Home Depot and other retailers started expanding, says Dennis Wilkison, assistant director of the county's planning department. "In our case," he says, "the horse is already out of the barn." `Automotive Slum' Other urban design experts warn that no amount of cosmetic tweaking can over- come the damage caused by suburban sprawl and big -box retailing. "Design standards are a starts," says James Howard Kunstler, an architecture critic and author in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. "But these cosmetic issues will not solve the fun- damental problem of living in a national automotive slum." Undeterred, Mr. Hancock and Mr. McHarris push for tougher rules. Last month, Collier County commissioners set new standards for gas stations, limiting the use of color and lighting on their canopies. Mr. McHarris is lobbying for ad- ditional rules that would force stations to build smaller pump canopies. It's a big is- sue for service stations because the canopies have become large advertising symbols as sign restrictions increase. "They don't want you to touch those." he says. "That is the holy grail to them."
