Mr. Karet explained that this is a completely new draft sign ordinance. It was explained that the LDRA was the first to review the draft ordinance, as directed by the City Council Chairman Masso asked if the sign ordinances of other cities had been reviewed when preparing this draft. Mr. Karet said other cities had been reviewed, but Daytona Beach Shores ordinance was used because it would be less complicated to administer.

Mr. Karet explained that this draft is not as complex as the previous draft. Land Development and Regulatory Agency Regular Meeting June 26,1996 ~ ""'" The draft was reviewed page by page by the Board members. Also discussed by the Board was the desire to have the ordinance unique in itself, not like that of other cities. Discussed at length were the inspection process and the permit application fee for signs. Mr. Karet said the inspections will enable the City to track non-conforming signs as well as signs in need of repair. Chairman Masso inquired how the annual fee would be determined. Mr. Karet replied that the City Council will establish the fee and it will probably be collected through the occupational licensing process. Considerable discussion was devoted to Section 1104 - C (Location of Signs) and its interpretation. It was decided that the section would be rewritten to better clarify the intent. There was substantial discussion regarding whether to remove the section pertaining to the 10 year non-conforming signs. The Chairman took a pole of the Board and it was decided by 4-2 vote not to eliminate this section. Ms. Storey asked how the City arrives at a 51 % value when referring to the removal of signs. Mr. Karet responded the Building Official will make that decision through his contacts with professional sign companies. Mr. Karet stated that portable signs will now be permitted for 30 days with stipulations. He said this is addressed by the Standard Building Code. The Board agreed to have Mr. Karet and Ms. Storey make the suggested corrections and present the corrected draft at the next LDRA meeting. OLD BUSINESS N one at this time. DISCUSSION ITEMS A.
