BOA AGENDA
ITEM [)
July 18, 2003
Meeting
REQUEST: The Community Development Department recommends the Board of
Adjustment hear a request by Richard Gudenkauf for a variance from Section 20-486 (please
see Ordinance No. 2000-17) of the City Code of Ordinances, to allow an existing non-
conforming sign to remain within the SR 434 Redevelopment Overlay Zoning District.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to consider a request by Richard Gudenkauf
for a variance from Section 20-486 of the City Code of Ordinances to allow his existing non-
conforming monument sign to remain in the front of his business at 155 West SR 434 beyond
the November 14,2002, amortization deadline. Mr. Gudenkauf contends that there is no other
place for his sign, which is in conflict with the 10 foot setback [from the property line]
requirement.

other lands, buildings or structures in the same zoning district;

properties in the same zoning district under the terms of this
chapter and would work unnecessary hardship on the applicant;
5. That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will
make possible the reasonable use of the land, building or
structure;
6. That the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the
general intent and purpose of this chapter, will not be injurious to

Ordinance No. 2000-17 (please see attached)

CONSIDERATIONS:
FINDINGS:
On November 10, 1997, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 683,
which, among other things, created the SR 434 Redevelopment Overlay.zoning
District. It also set forth standards for signage and provided a 5-year maximum
amortization period for signs that were not in compliance with the new
standards. On June 12,2000, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No.
2000-17, which provided that any sign, other than a billboard, could be '
amortized and maintained until November 14, 2002. At or prior to November
14,2002, all nonconforming signs must be removed and may be replaced with
signs that conform to the design standards set forth in the S.R. 434
Redevelopment regulations. All directly affected property owners were notified
at or about the time Ordinance No. 2000-17 was adopted.
As a reminder ofthe up-coming deadline, on July 26, 2002, former Community
Development Director Charles Carrington sent each property owner with a sign
in either of the SR 434 districts.
The subject site hasC-l Zoning, a Commercial Future Land Use designation,
and is located within the SR 434 Redevelopment Overlay Zoning District. Mr.
Gudenkauf operates a business at the site. Staffhas suggested that the
businesses at this site and the adjacent site to the east share a monument sign
along the common boundary that divides their sites from one another - which
would minimize the variance need and not compromise either vehicular
circulation or public safety because it would require only a variance from the
side setbacks. The applicant rejected this alternative.
The existing sign is located within inches of the sidewalk that extends east and
west along the south side of SR 434. This is inconsistent with the 10 foot
setback [from the right-of-way] requirement set forth in Subsection 20-486 (1)
(b) of the City Code of Ordinances. Along this portion of SR 434, the right-of-
way appears to extend approximately 18 feet behind the face of the curb.
l).The subject site, 155 W. SR 434, is located within the C-1 zoning district, the
Commercial Future Land Use designation, and the SR 434 Redevelopment
Overlay Zoning District.
2).The SR 434 RedevelopmentOverlay Zoning District sign standards have
been in effect since November 10, 1997, with the adoption of Ordinance No.
683,.
3). On June 12,2000, Ordinance No. 2000-17 amended the amortization
deadline set forth in Ordinance No. 683 and set forth a November 14, 2002,
July 18, 2003
Page 5
deadline for existing non-conforming signs to be removed and replaced with
signs that conform to Code.
4).On or about May 29,2003, the incomplete variance application (no abutters
list) was received by the City. The applicant provided the name and address of
one nearby proprietor on June 12,2003.
5).The Board of Adjustment is required by Code to find that the variance
request meets all six variance criteria, set forth in Subsection 20-82 (1 ) (c), in
order to recommend approval.
6). Staff does not find that the variance meets the six criteria for a variance:
1. there are no conditions or circumstances peculiar to the land,
structure, or buildings which are not applicable to other lands,
structures, or buildings in the same SR 434 Redevelopment Overlay
Zoning district;
2. special conditions and circumstances, if they exist, are the result of
the applicant;
3. granting the variance requested would convey on the applicant
special privileges that is denied by this chapter to other lands,
buildings or structures in the same overlay zoning district;
4. a literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would not
deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other
properties in the same overlay zoning district under the terms of
this chapter and would not work an unnecessary hardship on the
applicant;
5. the variance requested is not the minimum variance that will make
possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure; and
,6. granting the variance requested would not be in harmony with the
general intent and purpose of this chapter and would undermine the
Code, which could be injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise
detrimental to the public welfare.
7). A finanCial hardship does not constitute a hardship in terms of granting a
vanance.
8). At its May 12,2003, meeting, the City Commission voted to allow affected
property owners apply for a sign variance without paying the $500 variance
fee.
9). The sign does not meet the 10 foot setback from the SR 434 right-of-way set
forth in Subsection 20-486(1) (b) of the City Code of Ordinances.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend that the BOA deny the variance request pursuant to the six variance criteria
set forth in Subsection 20-82 (1) ( c) of the City Code of Ordinances.

RE: Signage Compliance for Winter Springs Food Store, Appliance Store, Pack & Send,
Jet Setters, Visible Light, EPM, etc.
Dear Business Owner / Property Owner:
Back in July, you sholJId have received correspondence from the City indicating that
Business Signage on your property needed to be brought into compliance with current
City Codes, prior to November 14, 2002. To date, the business signage on your property
is still in Violation of current code.
After being approached by one of the business owners in your area, Staff spent some time
determining what solutions could be derived that would meet the 10' setback along the
property line at S.R. 434, without creating a vehicular hazard, and that would give ample
visibility to the signage. It is our recommendation that the property could best be served
by one multi-tenant sign, located in the landscaped median to the west of the current
Appliance Store signage.
It will be the responsibility of the numerous property and business owners to cooperate
together to resolve this matter. Once a resolution has been reached, it will then be '
necessary to apply for a sign permit and bring the request before the Board of
Adjustment.
Sincerely,
~uk.

RE: Signage along SR 434
FYI-
I have attached a letter I received today from the Appliance Store at 153 W. SR
434, regarding signage compliance along SR 434.
The tenant of the Winter Springs Food Store and the building landlord have met
with John and I and are trying to resolve the signage. The landlord indicates she
will try to speak with the Appliance Store tenant.
I am also attaching a copy of the letter I sent out to the tenants and property
owners in this area.
I will keep you informed as to any updates.
