OLD BUSINESS:
I. Application for Variance filed by Emmet F. Ferguson III to
obtain a building permit to extend and remodel an existing non-
conforming structure for property located at 1655 Beach Avenue.
There being no one to represent Mr. Ferguson this item was
deferred until the end of the meeting to allow time for Mr.
Ferguson to appear.
II. Application for Variance filed by Dorothy and Ed Papazian to
construct an 8-foot decorative brick wall for property located at
587 Beach Avenue.
Mr. Papazian introduced himself to the board and stated his
wife's desire to construct an 8-foot decorative wall to protect
various shrubs from the elements. He stated that his wife was
out of town and could not attend the meeting.
After discussion Mr. Wolfson moved to deny the application, Mr.
Frohwein seconded the motion and said application for variance
was unanimously denied.
NEW BUSINESS:
I. Application for Variance filed by Suncoast Family Medical
Practice to erect a 180-square foot sign on vacant property
located between Pic N ' Save and Jax Liquors.
Linda Woitas introduced herself to the board and explained the
reasons a variance was requested. She stated that she was a
podiatrist with Suncoast Family Medical Practice who desired to
construct their office building on Mayport Road and needed the
sign to advertise their practice. She said the facility was
conducting a 90-day feasibility study regarding said building
location.
After discussion, Ms. Woitas requested that the application be
deferred until the her company could file an amended application
for said sign. The board suggested to Ms. Woitas that a
preliminary site plan be obtained and filed with said
application.
II. Application for Variance filed by Paul S. Ferber to allow
one additional free standing lighted sign for Dunkin Donuts
located within the fence structure at property located at 363
Atlantic Boulevard.
George Bull, Jr. introduced himself to the board and explained
the reasons said variance was requested. He stated that Dunkin
Donuts restuarant could not adequately be seen from the street
and that an additional sign was being requested for the public's
impulse buying. He stated that the franchise was losing money
due to said lack of advertising and would probably have to leave
said location.
Paul Ferber, one of the owners of the property, introduced
himself to the board and further relayed to the members the
necessity of said variance.
Mr. Howie suggested to Mr. Ferber that Dunkin Donuts obviously
was aware of the signage situation before granting the franchise.
Mr. Ferber stated that they were aware of the situation and
granted same upon their experience. Mr. Ferber stated that he
did not think they anticipated the problem regarding visibility
of the sign.
After further discussion Mr. McCaulie moved to deny the variance,
Mr. Frohwein seconded the motion and the motion was carried by a
vote of 5 to 1.
OLD BUSINESS:

Emmet Ferguson. There being no one present, on motion made and

behalf that staff contact Mr. Ferguson to ensure his appearance
at the next meeting.
There being no further business to come before the meeting on
motion duly made and seconded the meeting was adjourned.
