Authorization
REQUEST: The Community Development Department recommends that the City Commission
find that the existing subdivision entrance features at the northeast and northwest comers of the
intersection of Charles Street and SR 434 are in the public right-of-way, that they are a nuisance,
and authorize their removal for public safety issues.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is for the City Commission to find that the two
entrance features obstruct visibility at the comer of Charles Street and SR 434 and authorize their
removal. This would allow the City to authorize the Kinder Kampus daycare center to relocate
the existing sign to a more appropriate location.
APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY:
Sec. 17-30 Obstruction to vision at street intersection.
CONSIDERATIONS:
At the regular City Commission meeting of December 8,2003, the City Commission
voted to table the Kinder Kampus sign variance request. The City Manager stated that staff
would address this issue at the first meeting in January 2004.
The subject site is converted residence on a comer lot in the SR 434 Redevelopment
District. The combination of the existing maple tree, lot configuration, and the presence of the
two subdivision entrance features at the intersection of Charles Street and SR 434 made
determining the most appropriate place to relocate a new monument sign difficult. The Public
Works Director has determined that the features are in the public right-of-way and he cannot
determine who has been maintaining them through the years. After the City Manager and staff
inspected the site, it became obvious that removing the existing entrance features from the pubic
right-of-way would make the intersection safer and make determining an appropriate sign
location much easier.
