The board reviewed the paint color samples. Mr. Biery stated that he would use the color Oyster for the building and Kelly Green for the trim. The chosen shingle color is Golden Brown. Mr. Bowman asked about the fence color. Mr. Biery answered Oyster. Ms. Easler asked what is included in the trim. Mr. Biery replied the doors and the fascia. Mr. Bowman asked if the trim omitted the windows to which Mr. Biery agreed. Ms. Hayes asked if there were a garage or carport. Mr. Biery stated that there is only a parking area in front of the building. Mr. Bowman asked Mr. Bapp if this is practiced. Mr. Bapp responded that a parking area only is permitted but seldom practiced. Ms. Hayes shared that using a darker color on the trim flattens a building's appearance. Mr. Bowman made a motion and Ms. Hayes seconded the motion to approve the application for Request No. 99-06 as submitted. The motion carried unanimously. 2. Request No. 99-07, New Sign, 8625 Astronaut Blvd., Fairvilla Sign; Jack Jones, Applicant. Mr. Jones described the channel letters on raceways that would be mounted on the facia of the building. Mr. Bowman asked if the channel letters would be placed in front of the existing arches. Mr. Jones stated that the letters would be placed on the front of the building. Mr. Bowman clarified that the arches would stay and the letters would project outward from the building. Mr. Jones affirmed. Mr. Bowman queried if the letters are free -standing letters without a background point and also pointed out that the background is the building. Mr. Jones affirmed again. Ms. Easler asked if this sign is in addition to what is existing. Mr. Bapp explained that the Fairvilla store had a ground sign that was removed and replaced with a temporary sign pending approval of any type of sign. Attorney Bennett stated that the Board had previously approved a new ground sign that the owner subsequently decided against. A new application was submitted for this wall sign. Mr. Bapp stated that the sign square footage was reduced in this new application. Ms. Easler noted that this sign would also reduce the neon used in the original sign and asked if the light would reflect from these channel letters. Mr. Jones clarified that illumination is from the inside. Ms. Nielsen asked if the letters could be seen when looking directly at the building. Mr. Jones affirmed. Mr. Bowman questioned if the letters are on one side only. Mr. Jones affirmed again. Ms. Nielsen asked if the word Fairvilla is pink and the word Megastore is black. Mr. Jones stated that the word Fairvilla is actually red. Ms. Hayes made a motion and Mr. Bowman seconded the motion to approve the application for Request No. 99-07 as submitted. The motion carried unanimously. City of Cape Canaveral, Florida Community Appearance Board Minutes March 15, 1999 Page 3 DISCUSSION: Ms. Hayes spoke about the new paint color on the Straw Hat Lounge. She stated that the building color is white with a florescent orange trim. Mr. Franklin explained that the City's Code Enforcement officer had a case against outside condition of the building and Mr. Morgan promised to improve the building. Mr. Bowman suggested contacting Mr. Morgan to inform him that his improvement should have come before the Board. Mr. Franklin explained that repainting did not require a permit. Mr. Bapp clarified that since it did not require a permit, there was no requirement for the Community Appearance Board to review the project. Mr. Bapp stated that City Council approved the Collier County speaker and the City Manager is preparing a schedule. Mr. Bapp noted that Mr. Thomas Quinn's Certificate of Occupancy for 320 Madison was issued and perhaps Board members could take a walking tour of this and other previously approved requests. Mr. Bapp announced that City Council would interview a new member for the Community Appearance Board at their next scheduled meeting. There being no further business Ms. Hayes made a motion and Mr. Bowman seconded the motion to adjourn the meeting at 7:28 P.M.
