Agenda 12/01/2009 Item #10F Agenda Item NO.1 OF Deeember 1, 2009 Page 1 of 38 "'."- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to consider the options to respond to a Public Petition request by Ms. Lynn Smallwood-McMillin where she requests a waiver of enforcement of the Land Development Code related to size and loeation of an existing off-premise directional sign for the Smallwood Store, Chokoloskee, Florida. OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners (Board) review and consider the options to respond to a Public Petition request by Ms, Smallwood-McMi1lin, Ted Smallwood's Store, Inc., Chokoloskee, Florida where she requests that the Board allow the existing off- premise directional sign to rcmain at its current location and in doing so consider the option of designating the existing sign as an historical sign or as a county approved directional marker to a designated historic site. CONSIDERATIONS: The petitioner appearcd before the Board of County Commissioners at the November 10, 2009 BCC meeting, under a public petition itcm to request relief from the ongoing code case initiated by an anonymous complaint. Enclosed at Attachment A is the public petition request and at Attachment B is thc background on the Code Enforcement case. .-"- After reviewing the preliminary background in the case the Board directed staff to bring this item back for further discussion. In two separate motions the Board directed that the enforcement of the code case be suspended and that the staff evaluate the feasibility of designating the existing sign as an historieal sign or designating the cxisting sign as a county approved historical marker. In addition thc Board asked to have all the background related to the Florida Historic Marker Designation Program. 'The subject sign is shown at Attachment C. The sign is located on a residential lot at the eorner of Mamie Street and Chokoloskee Drive under the ownership of Mr. Eddie Rewis. Though the petitioner notes in her statemcnt that the sign has been in place for over 14 years the aerial photographs from the Property Appraiscr's office (Attachmcnts D) going back as many as 4 years clearly show that the sign was crectcd within the past two years. Additionally, no permits for this sign were evcr applied for or approvcd. Pursuant to Seetion 5.06.04 G I of the LDC, Off'. Premise Directional Signs: OfFpremise directional signs shall he permitted only in nonresidential zoning districts, agricultural districts and designated nonresidential components of PUDS. Chokoloskee is madc up of scveral zoning districts that include C-4, VR, MH, and TTRVC. The existing sign is in VR (Village Residcntial) zoning and per the code is prohibitcd at the current site. Section 5.06JJ4 G. Off:premises directional signs. Off:premises directional signs are permitted if the following requirements are met: I. OfFpremises directional signs shall he permitted only in nonresidential zoning districts, agricultural districts and designated nonresidential components of PUDs. -- ] ". ,,-', ~_.,,"'~"'-- w,"~"___..__."._.,,, , Agenda Item NO.1 OF December 1, 2009 Page 2 of 38 2. No more than 2 one-sided or 1 douhle-sided off-premise directional signs shall he permitted for a huilding, structure, or use which is not visihlefrom the roadway serving such huilding, structure, or use, provided: a. Each sign shall not he more than 12 square feet in area. h. The sign shall not he more than 8 feet in height above the lowest center grade of the roadway adjacent to the sign location. c.The sign shall not he located closer than f 0 feet to any property line. d. The applicant shall suhmit with the permit application, a notarized "'Titten letter of permission from the property owner where the off-premises directional sign Is to he located. e. The sign shall he located no more than 1,OOOfeetfrom the huildlng, structure, or use for which the sign is displayed. 3. Off-premises directional signs shall he located a minimum of 50feetfrom a residential zoning district. 4. Off-premises directional signs shall be located a minimum of fOOfeetfrom another off-premises directional sign. Note also that the code limits the size of an off premise sign to 12 square feet of copy and limits the height to no more than 8 feet. The size of the existing sign is 5 feet x 6.5 feet or 3?5 square feet of copy and stands 7.5 feet. . At the conclusion of the Board deliberations staff was directed to review whether the existing sign could be designated as an hi storie sign or in the alternative whether it should be designated as a county approved historic directional marker in lieu of having the sign rcplaced with the typical1y approved Florida Historic Site Directional Marker. The Board also asked that staff include as baek up details on the state's historical rnarker program. Enclosed at Attachment E is an excerpt from the Florida Statutes, Chapter I A-48, Florida Historie Marker Prograrn. Under this program, the Smallwood Store would be entitled to the placement of a state approved historic directional sign to designate the direction and location of the Smal1wood Store. Enclosed at Attachment F are examples of the type of directional sign that would be allowed to be placed in the right-of-way to designate the loeation and direction of the Smallwood Store. In this ease the Florida Tourist Oriented Dircctional Signs program may be the most applicable as it is a prograrn to safely direct potential visitors to Family Oriented tourist related businesses services or activities: eultural, historical, recreational, educational, lodging, dining, entertainment. Enclosed at Attachment G are pictures of the existing seven historical and tourist oriented directional signs to designate tourist to the historical site. ~".~ In summation, the petitioner is asking for the Board to al10w for the sign to remain at its current location. Considering the facts in this case, staff rccommends that if the Board agrees with the applicant's request that the Board decm the sign to be a county approved off-premise historical marker to identify the dircetion and location of the State approved historieal site registered as the Ted Smallwood Storc (added 1974 - Building - #7400(612), a property also known as Smal1wood's Trading Post FL 29 in Everglades National Park, Chokoloskcc Island, and by doing so that the Board so note that thc approvcd sign is al10wed on private property in the VR zoning district. Upon approval of the Board, the petitioner could then apply for any and aU applicable permits. 2 Agenda Item NO.1 OF December 1, 2009 Page 3 of 38 Regarding direction of the Board for stafIto amend the Land Development Code to allow for the designation of historical signs and related direetional signs, staff, in an upcoming Land Development Code (LDC) amendrnent cycle, wi11 formulate and develop for Board review and approval criteria for evaluating any future applications for designating signage as a historical marker to include size and location eriteria, or in the alternative as this is a very unusual issue not likely to be repeated that staff simply apply Board direction and not initiate a ehange to the LDC for this unique circumstance. FISCAL IMPACT: Cost related to the proper permitting of signs pursuant to the CDES Fee Schedule and applicable permitting criteria in the Florida Building Code and Land Development Code. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This action has no impact on growth management. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The County Attorney has no objection to staffs recommendation. -JAK RECOMMENDATION: That the Board consider designating the eXlstmg sign as an acceptable off-premise directional rnarker for an historic site and in doing so allow the subject sign to remain in the VR zoning district, and that the Board consider directing staff not to amend the LDC but direct staff to exempt similar off premise historical signs from the Co11ier County sign ordinance as codified in the LDC.

(d) A relocated structure or building will qualify for a Florida Heritage Marker if it retains physical features that were present during the historical period for which it is being recognized and if it meets the other requisite criteria set forth above in (a), (b) and (c). (e) An event that has affected or shaped local, regional or state history normally must have taken place at least thirty years ago to qualify for a Florida Heritage Marker; however, events of extraordinary regional or statewide significance that have taken place within the last thirty years will also qualify for a Florida Heritage Marker. (f) No individual may be mentioned in a marker text until thirty years after the death of said person or thirty years after the significant event with which that person is associated, except in the case of a deceased person of extraordinary regional or statewide significance, or unless so designated by an act of the Florida Legislature. No persons may be named in the text of an Official State Historic Marker except those'related to the historic significance of the resource. (2) Florida Heritage Landmarks must meet the following additional criteria: (a) Resources that are more than fifty years old and demonstrate outstanding significance in the areas of architecture, archaeology or history at the regional, state or national level shall be considered for a Florida Heritage Landmark marker. Sites that are less than fifty years old, but are of exceptional importance at the statewide and national level, shall also be considered for a Florida Heritage Landmark marker. (b) A structure or building that has been moved from its originalloeation shall not be eligible for Florida Heritage Landmark status, unless the relocation was made fifty or more years ago, either prior to or during the period in which said property attained its historical significance; however, buildings or structures moved in the period less than fifty years ago shall be considered eligible if it can be shown that the relocation was made necessary by the threat of condemnation or demolition and where all reasonable attempts have been made to ensure that the new setting of the resource is similar to the original historical setting. (3) Resources which are important because of their association with historic persons will be considered for eligibility for a Florida Heritage Plaque under the following criteria: (a) No individual may be mentioned in a plaque text until thirty years after the death of said person or thirty years after the event of significance, except in the case of a deceased person of state or national significance, or unless designated by an act of the Florida Legislature. (b) The historic activities of said person must be demonstrably important to a locality of the state, region of the state, the state as a whole or the nation. . (c) In general, the plaque should be attached to the building, structure or other resource hlstorically associated with said person, must be conspicuously displayed, easily accessible to and legible by the general public. If, however, attachment of a plaque to a building, structure or other resource will damage the integrity of the resource, then some other means of displaying the plaque in close proximity to the resource will be used.
