Sign at Amoco/BP Station; corner of Plaza and Maynort Road; On October 13, 2003, the
City Commission denied a request for a waiver from the city sign regulations to allow for a face
'~" replacement on the Amoco sign and the addition of a new logo cabinet sign at the gas station at
the corner of Mayport Road and Plaza Drive. The gas station owners placed a banner over the
top of the freestanding Amoco sign which does not comply with City rules. The city has received
""' several complaints on the sign in recent months. The owners of the gas station, Giant
Jacksonville LLC, has now been notified that, if the sign is not brought into compliance with the
city code within 30 days, they will be brought before the Code Enforcement Board which could
'"" levy fines up to $500 per day.
Tree Trimming for Electrical Clearance on Sherrv Drive; Complaints were received at the
'"'"~ last commission meeting about the tree trimming that had recently been done by JEA's
subcontractor while working along Sherry Drive. The complaints included excessive trimming
that may not have been needed, improper trimming that may have damaged the trees
unnecessarily and improper removal of the waste. A letter was sent to the JEA forester in charge
of the operation. A copy of that letter has already been forwarded to the City Commission.
