3 Jose Aguila In favor of the color. Mark Gregory The color is a little strong for my taste but I am ok with the color. Alice Finst We have asked at every presentation that pictures be taken of the opposite side of the street to see how it fits with the adjacent property and once again we do not have that. I am not sure that the color of this building is going to set this off from the others. Mark Gregory We did not get pictures of all 4 sides of the building. Jason Bregman I think the color is acceptable. Terra Spero I think the blue color is too much for the area or maybe go white. Rustem Kupi I think it is too bright. Terra Spero The coral color is ok, it s the awning color. Motion was made by Mark Gregory and seconded by Jose Aguila to postpone the color change of Wizard Arts with no date certain. MOTION CARRIED 7-0 V. PROJECT PLANS A. Southgate Motel 1600 N. Federal Highway Class IV Site Plan demolish the existing one-story, 10 room motel and construct new two story 29 room motel (Jose Aguila is stepping down on this item as this is a client of his) Exparte Communications None. Candi Jefferson, Senior Planner - presented the item through a review of the staff report, File # Applicants Presentation Bob Currie Architect This hotel has been through a lot and it is time that it gets cleaned up.

4 Alice Finst Ms. Finst as for some clarification on the cabanas and the bathrooms, the dumpsters and their position, and the colors of the motel. I really like the white. Jason Bregman I think this is a big improvement, not in favor of the green awning, looking to add another bike rack and in regards to the mango trees: move (1), keep (1) and cut down (1). I also thought the breakfast area was a little small and if the elevator tower could be dressed up. Terra Spero I am confirming that the awning is all green, and asking why there is only (1) parking space per room. Also, what are the pavers that you will be using at this motel and I agree with Mr. Bregman about the white wall that it is too much. Alice Finst I suggest that the elevator wall have a design on it and the white wall is too much. Also, I would like to know when this project is going to start. Rustem Kupi I like the white color, please keep the trees on the north wall which are not on the property. The dumpster locations is fine, and to save money, get rid of the entry way. Two large trees in place of the entry way would look good. Jason Bregman I want to know if they can build to the lot line. Alice Finst I think if he has been thinking of this entry way then I am ok with it. Jason Bregman I would also like to know about the sidewalk in the rear of the building. Terrill Pyburn Interim City Attorney They would go into a Sidewalk Deferral. Alice Finst I received some letters regarding all the emergency calls that have been made about this motel and are there going to be 24 hr. cameras or some kind of security there.

6 B.Rainbow Warehouse 1402 Wallace Drive Class V Site Plan demolishes existing single family residence and constructs a new storage warehouse. (Jose Aguila has rejoined the meeting) Exparte Communications None. Candi Jefferson, Senior Planner - presented the item through a review of the staff report. Applicants Presentation John Seagram Property owner We are in agreement with staff and their report. We sell rain gutters and the warehouse is for ONLY storage. Public Comments None Board Comments Jason Bregman I have seen a lot of good faith things done and as it is an industrial area I am ok with this project. Terra Spero Windows are not consistent and have a problem with the garage doors. It is fine now but what happens when new owners come in and have bigger trucks. Alice Finst When talking about the windows, it was mentioned that maybe the roof is off center. Also, I see that color renderings were not in the packages to reflect the revisions. Also, all the conditions that were in the report were already addressed. Mark Gregory Iam not happy with the windows, but I agree with Mr. Bregmen that there is a lot of good faith things being done. Jose Aguila I think the owner has done everything that will make his business work and I cannot worry about what might come along later. Another thing that I am concerned about is the pressure treated wood and I would do it all in metal, lath and stucco. Jim Knight I still have a problem with the ways cars are pulling in and out and vehicles handing out in the road. Rustem Kupi Not happy with the windows, there is no rhyme or reason for them and need something else there. The angle of the building is still a problem. Burt Gentry Agent What we are trying to do is have the vehicles drive through the building so they would not have to back out. 6

MOTION CARRIED 5-2 (Dissenting Rustem Kupi, Alice Finst) IV. PUBLIC COMMENTS Rick Zorouid Industrial Park SW 4 th Avenue My paperwork was turned into Planning and Zoning on time and it did not get on the agenda. This is just a color change and I am here before you to ask for consideration. Terrill Pyburn Interim City Attorney In regards to notice, even though it is noticed for the agenda, it does not mean that the item will get on the agenda. There can also be problems with due process, but with the property owner here I do not have a problem with the item being heard. With this, it would be up to the board if they wanted to go forward with this item. Rustem Kupi He asked for a raised of hands if the board would like to amend the agenda to address this item now. All was in favor except dissenting Alice Finst This is a color change from existing colors, to change the walls to Ranch , the roll up doors to color # Sierra Spruce and the overhangs over the doorways, both rollup and manual to color # Terra-cotta. (Color swatches passed out to all board members) 7

MOTION CARRIED 6-1 (Dissenting Alice Finst) VII. OTHER ITEMS Board Comments Alice Finst I don t know how many times we have asked the applicant to bring color adjacent pictures and we don t get it. I feel if they do not bring them we should not address the project. Mark Gregory I had a meeting with staff about code issue and I made a presentation and they want a recommendation to do a little housecleaning about striking a 3 word provision in one of the prohibited items that one of the staff member is having an issue with which caused the whole problem. These items were approved before the staff member came on board and he is not allowing them to be approved. Staff Comments Candi Jefferson In regards to a change of a sign code, there must be a City Initiated LDR Text Amendment to make the change. Also Abbey Delray North will be coming back to the meeting. 8
