Sarnoff Date: August 22"d, 2008 Re: Signs As you know, my office has received well over 100 petitions complaining about two signs on top of a S. Miami Avenue building. Thank you to you and to Peter Bockweg for joining me at a neighborhood meeting August 21st, 2008 at the Palace Condo. I would like to see legislation drafted as soon as possible regarding several aspects of the City of Miami sign regulations. 1. I need your advice but my goal is to amend Article 16 section 1501.1 by deleting the exception which allows Class II permit requests to be approved with no notice to neighbors and neighborhood groups. (If I am incorrect with my references please correct me immediately.) Perhaps there should be notice to all neighborhood groups, condo associations and all neighbors within 1,000 feet? I need your advice but my goal is to have the public fully able to comment on applications affectingtheir quality of life. 2. In addition, I would like legislation drafted that amends the Major Use Special Permit (MUSP) process to require all signage to be included in the original MUSP application. If a developer/property owner does not know his/her tenant yet then the applicant must use a sample signage typical by font, size, proportions and lighting to will be installed. (Please use your typical language.) I want to see legislation that does not allow any signage on MUSP recipients unless the public has had every opportunity to review and respond. I would like to see this legislation on either of the two September 2008 Commission meetings and I may place a discussion of these issues on my Blue Pages. Thank you.
