3. APPLICATIONS

A. Surf Style - 101 S. Miramar - Building Permit - (Commercial building)

Craig Suman, architect, noted that there is no room on the site for a dumpster but that the owner has been in touch with the owner of the restaurant to the west regarding sharing their dumpster. He also advised that Harris may agree to allowing trash cans instead of a dumpster.

The Board reviewed the parking. Mr. Washburn advised that the code requirement for 11 parking spaces for those lots applies to the existing building; if new construction occurs, the parking requirements are based on the square footage of the new building.

The Board noted that no landscape plan was submitted. Mr. Suman advised that he believed it was approved with the site plan and that there is approximately 10%.

Mr. Kleving moved to approve the application contingent upon approval of a final landscape plan and suitable trash pickup. Mr. Bogert seconded. Motion carried unanimously.

4. REPORTS AND DISCUSSIONS

A. Review of Ordinance 98-1 for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan

The Board reviewed the written comments from Mr. Washburn. He advised that in his opinion the ordinance is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan but that he is not sure it creates the effect Council wants. He noted that incorporating merchandise as part of a sign is already permitted if it meets all of the other sign requirements.

Councilman Hartman explained that the Redevelopment Committee recommended two changes in the sign ordinance; one to allow merchandise as part of a sign for all commercial districts and one which, based on a request from the owner of the kite shop, would allow the outdoor display of goods in the C-2 zone since that zone is more tourist in nature. He stated that this ordinance is the result of merging the two ideas.

Mr. Kostro moved that the Board find the ordinance consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and that it be submitted back to the Council for further review and determination of whether this accomplishes what Council wants. Mr. Kleving seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
