HomeMy WebLinkAboutProposed email to City of Cape Canaveral re DADave, Todd and Anthony,
As we have discussed, the three issues that require Wave Development to
seek approval of a Port-of-Call Development Agreement are the phasing,
signage requirements and parking analysis.
In the Spring of 2015, Mosh had proposed a similar D.A., which included
three (3) ground signs on A1A. At that time, the City was agreeable to
including this "waiver" to the sign code in the D.A. Dave Dickey
recently advised that this could not now be done with Wave Development's
request for increased signage; that it would need to obtain one or more
variances.
Let's look at the signage needs. There are four building proposed for
this 5 acres - one is already constructed and operating. The second
building is at the corner of A1A and Central, and have seven (7) tenant
spaces - each will need its own wall sign. That building has interior
frontage on a drive aisle and will need wall signage. The total
frontage for tenant space for that building is approximatley 300 lineal
feet. But the City's sign code limits wall signs to 160 sq ft.
Simarly, building three, adjacent to building two, has interior frontage
on two sides and Central Blvd. frontage, a total of 255 lineal feet.
Building four "fronts" A1A, and Central, with 230 sq ft of frontage.
Because there are multiple uses for each building, signage is
essential. Wave Development needs signage on all four buildings.
Without the 160 sq ft limitation, it could have 786 sq feet of wall
signage. Wave Development desires to have 600 sq ft of wall signage.
Wave Development wants the ability to use that amount in any combination
on the three buildings.
Second, as was conceptually approved by Todd and Dave in 2015, in
Exhibit D to the 20015 DA, Wave Development needs three (3) ground signs
- one of which will be on Central.
Resolution of these signage issues are critical to the success of this
project. My client has been working on this project for nearly a year,
and continually receives conflicting or incomplete information from the
City. Simply determing whether this project is appropriate for a DA
took four months. These delays are costing Wave Development money.
Mosh wants to move forward.
Please either respond that these signage issues can be resolved in the
DA, or let's set a meeting to hash this out. Simply put, we don’t
understand why the City is now claiming it cannot - in a DA - provide
waivers of the Code, through its inherent ability to interpret the Code
and because it is an agreement.
I cannot move forward the completing the draft DA until we know if the
City will agree to these signage requests.
We look forward to hearing from you in the very near future.
Sincerely,
Kimberly Bonder Rezanka, Esq.
