This Department has been informed that Mr. Al Cardenas, representing Electronic Time, Inc. will appear at the next Commission meeting per- taining to a proposed -City franchise to place time/temperature adver- tising signs in the public right-of-way. Mr. Cardenas last appeared, on this subject, before the Commission on June 15, 1983. Following Mr. Cardenas' presentation, Commissioner Dawkins invoked the 5-day rule. At the Commission meeting of June 15, 1983, Mr. Jack Luft of the Planning Department speaking in opposition, requested information on proposed specific locations and numbers of signs. To date, Mr. Cardenas has not supplied this information to the Planning Department. Previous memoranda from the City Manager, and the Planning and Public Works Departments are attached.

Time and Temperature Signs In Public Right of Way =EFERENCES: ENCLOSURES: This Department has been informed that Mr. Al Cardenas has requested a personal appearance at the next commission meeting concerning the placement of time and temperature signs in the public right of way. On August 25, 1982 (copy of memo enclosed), we went on record opposing these installations and we reiterate those same objections. 1. Such installations are not permitted by either the South Florida Building Code or the City Code. This would be a case of using a public right of way for private enterprise. 2. The size of these signs, six feet wide and eight feet high mounted nine feet above the pavement, could obscure the names or advertising on adjacent stores. 3. The advertising on these signs might be in competition with the adjacent businesses, and might put the City in the position of having to regulate advertising. 4. If these signs were placed along State Roads (such as Flagler Street), they would have to meet their set -back from the curb, and for safety requirements in case of accidents. 5. These signs are mounted on concrete bases, approximately three feet square and four feet deep. The bases could severely limit future underground *utility installations, and would be very difficult to find a clear location for their original installation. 6. The downtown streets have street name signs as a part of the traffic signal system. Duplicating these signs would serve no public purpose. 7. Overhead electrical connections will not be permitted. This ' requires excava6ion in the right of way to a duct line, or installation of`'a drop and buried duct from the nearest over- head power line. w.• It is the opinion of this Department that permission to install any of these signs should not be granted.

FLORIOA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO. Howard V. Gary City Manager r ' FROM a gio �Ro iguez, Director lanning Department DATE. May 9, 1983 FILE: SUBJECT Time/Temperature Clock Advertising REFEREPIC£S: personal Appearance Item City Commission Meeting ENCLOSURES. May 12, 1983 The Planning Department opposes the installation of time/temperature clocks with commercial advertising in public rights -of -way (side- walks) through a concession/lease arrangement with a private vendor for the following reasons: 1. This Department strongly opposes the use off -site advertising throughout the City as visually disruptive, aesthetically blighting and an unneccessary physical intrusion, especially within neighborhood commercial and residential areas. 2. This would be a step backwards from the progress the City has made, at considerable expense, to upgrade and beautify the public sidewalk environments in Downtown, Little Havana, Coconut Grove, Little River, Brickell, Omni, Biscayne Boulevard and Allapattah. 3. The most intense activity areas would be those most desired by the lessee and least capable of withstanding the pedestrian obstructions of poles. 4. Invariably the clock/sign standard would block the view of legitimate owner -identification business signs in commercial areas, and may actually advertise competitive products directly in front of a given business. S. There is no essential public service provided. Streetside clocks prevailed 100 years ago when no one wore wristwatches; most people wear watches today making this proposal a minor convenience, at best. 6. Attaching advertising to various pieces of street furniture is a common scheme and by approving the "clock" proposal we would open the door to a proliferation of similar requests (bicycle .racks, waste receptacles, institutional signage etc.) 7. The "clock" proposal is entirely different from the bus bench/ shelter concession the City maintains. People do not carry chairs with them (unlike wristwatches); bus stops are of necessity throughout the City thereby dictating the placement of benches; waiting periods of 20 to 40 minutes for a bus are common which necessitates a bench, the sub -tropical climate makes shelter more than a convenience; cost of placement and maintainence is considerable making advertising an economic means to a necessary end.
