DISCUSSION
Ms. Roberts voiced her concerns regarding the Hertz sign at the entrance of the City. She
stated that it overpowers the City of Cape Canaveral's welcome sign. Ms. Roberts asked
that the Board be conscious of their decisions when reviewing requests for signs at the
entrance and exits of the City.
City Attorney Latorre stated that there is a provision in the sign code that states,
`Gooseneck reflectors, spotlights, floodlights, and other lights shall be permitted on
ground signs, and wall signs. However, the reflectors shall be provided with proper glass
lenses concentrating the illumination upon the area of the sign so as to prevent the glare
upon the street or adjacent property.'
Mr. Bowman stated that these concerns are well taken. It was his opinion that the Board
should set some limits to lighting because if the lumens on the signs in town were turned
up, it would look like Vegas. The brightness of lights is as important to the Board as
colors, placement, and size.
Ms. Roberts further stated that the City Council would welcome the input of the
Community Appearance Board for the redevelopment of the City as to what they would
like to see for the City's appearance. The Board discussed the idea of touring the City and
having further discussion regarding the possibilities for a theme for the City at the next
meeting.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 8:12 PM.
