business owners in early

00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:47,180
November and one of the things

109
00:04:47,180 --> 00:04:50,100
that we discussed with them was

110
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:54,210
the the signage the. This is a

111
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,300
the West parking lot section,

112
00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:01,603
the Green is is the trellis

113
00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:06,500
sign the blue is the

114
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,240
directional sign and the red is

115
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,624
the monument sign. This is the

116
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,290
east parking lot with the same

117
00:05:16,290 --> 00:05:18,429
color graphics indicating the

118
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:21,600
monument sign, the directional

119
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,800
sign and the trellis sign. This

120
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,608
is a rendering of the monument

121
00:05:28,230 --> 00:05:31,290
sign. It is 14 by seven. It is

122
00:05:31,290 --> 00:05:34,629
three sided and the same logo

123
00:05:37,180 --> 00:05:39,600
and design appears on all three

124
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,600
signs. This is the >> location

125
00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:45,210
of those signs in the

126
00:05:45,210 --> 00:05:47,421
orientation of the signs.

127
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:50,170
During the design process the

128
00:05:50,170 --> 00:05:52,110
signs were moved north to

129
00:05:52,110 --> 00:05:53,260
facilitate views from all four

130
00:05:53,260 --> 00:05:56,130
directions and to avoid any

131
00:05:56,130 --> 00:05:59,130
conflicts with the the line.

132
00:05:59,150 --> 00:06:02,700
The transmission line poles and

133
00:06:02,700 --> 00:06:03,280
there is the signal equipment

134
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:06,160
box on the northwest corner >>

135
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,220
at that but that cabinet is six

136
00:06:08,220 --> 00:06:10,100
foot tall in the bottom. The

137
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:12,120
sign is at eight point five

138
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,180
feet and so there really isn't

139
00:06:14,180 --> 00:06:17,000
a conflict with actual. This is

140
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,140
the pictures of the actual

141
00:06:19,140 --> 00:06:22,100
areas both on the the west side

142
00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:24,100
east side. That's the signal

143
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:27,601
box >> that I was referring to.

144
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,270
This is the trellis sign. The

145
00:06:32,270 --> 00:06:35,100
trellis sign is is about 10 by

146
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:37,140
10. And it has the signage on

147
00:06:37,140 --> 00:06:38,270
the top. It's it's similar to

148
00:06:38,270 --> 00:06:40,600
the trellis signs we have in

149
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,400
the on the on Main Street and

150
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,100
the. It as the sign is on top

151
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:47,170
saying the plaza prospect in

152
00:06:47,170 --> 00:06:50,617
the interests and these are the

153
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,270
directory signage that are in

154
00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:56,270
the middle of each parking lot.

155
00:06:56,270 --> 00:06:59,150
And they will have they will

156
00:06:59,150 --> 00:07:02,200
list all of the businesses that

157
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,260
are in that in that particular

158
00:07:05,260 --> 00:07:08,626
parking lot. Mean what we that

fits in with what I'm going to

183
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:30,150
discuss tonight. I don't think

184
00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:32,500
it does. Only for the fact my

185
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:34,200
questions are relative to code

186
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,800
enforcement. What? How would I

187
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,130

00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,160
Clarification Saudi questions

191
00:08:44,270 --> 00:08:46,427
regarding code enforcement it's

192
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,270
not really a question about

193
00:08:48,270 --> 00:08:50,110
it's a procedural matter that

194
00:08:50,110 --> 00:08:51,250
I'd like to see and had the

195
00:08:51,250 --> 00:08:54,140
city address. Ok. We the city

196
00:08:54,140 --> 00:08:55,280
commission will reconvene and

197
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,800
you'll have public comments and

198
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:58,900
you can bring it up at that

199
00:08:58,900 --> 00:08:59,120
point. When does that happen?

200
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,170
I'm an old guy. I almost fell

201
00:09:00,170 --> 00:09:02,000
asleep during all of stuff last

202
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,290
time. It's not so anyway. I

203
00:09:04,290 --> 00:09:06,140
understand that when you talk

204
00:09:06,140 --> 00:09:08,600
about to term limits I'm saying

205
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,130
to myself why would anyone

206
00:09:09,130 --> 00:09:11,700
subject themselves to that? But

207
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:14,700
anyway very fresh. Very short.

208
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,100
Yes sir. Ok then I'll sit down

209
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:17,600
and wait. Deerfield for you.

210
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,140
You know, we think you Dr.

211
00:09:18,140 --> 00:09:19,700
Jasser, we appreciate >> your

212
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:21,407
being here. Any additional

213
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:26,405
comments? Ok, people trash >>

214
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,600
good evening chairs board. I

215
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,700
have been waiting a long time

216
00:09:42,700 --> 00:09:43,240
to hear all this stuff. Thank

217
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,160
you so much. I've been watching

218
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,800
the progression prospect of

219
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,200
changing the plaza with the

220
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,220
construction taking pictures

221
00:09:52,220 --> 00:09:56,800
and I am. I love the trial's

222
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,800
design. I love the way signs.

223
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:00,600
I'm loving the way it's

224
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,220
happening and I'm hoping it's

225
00:10:01,220 --> 00:10:04,622
all done tomorrow. As far as

226
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:07,110
the rest of the city is

227
00:10:07,110 --> 00:10:08,170
concerned, I must have been

228
00:10:08,170 --> 00:10:10,210
taking lots of pictures. I'm

229
00:10:10,210 --> 00:10:12,600
going by every once in a while.

230
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:13,270
Squires Plaza. How that's

231
00:10:13,270 --> 00:10:15,600
changing around it's like

232
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,260
almost done. Ready to move in

233
00:10:17,260 --> 00:10:19,426
and the contemporary concept

234
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:23,100
design building. I can't wait

235
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:24,100
for that scene. And I just

236
00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:25,110
recently found out that I

237
00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:26,280
actually know who the owner is

238
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,200
of the the wine bar that's

239
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,300
going in. They're actually

240
00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:32,260
moving from well manners

241
00:10:32,260 --> 00:10:34,140
because there's apartments

242
00:10:34,140 --> 00:10:35,180
above them and the music is

243
00:10:35,180 --> 00:10:37,210
problem so we get the benefit

244
00:10:37,210 --> 00:10:38,280
of them coming to our great

245
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,180
city and it's a great bar. I

246
00:10:41,180 --> 00:10:42,210
understand they're possibly

247
00:10:42,210 --> 00:10:44,600
going to be serving sushi or

248
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:45,110
something like that kind of

249
00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:46,150
like they usually have some

250
00:10:46,150 --> 00:10:47,210
kind of orders that go along

251
00:10:47,210 --> 00:10:49,700
with it but it's a very great

252
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:50,900
relaxing bar so I hope

253
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:52,800
everybody goes there, enjoys it

254
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,270
to give them a plug. And I also

255
00:10:54,270 --> 00:10:57,270
wanted to mention that the the

256
00:10:57,270 --> 00:10:59,230
old six seventy six or sixty

257
00:10:59,230 --> 00:11:01,180
seven liquor but liquor place

258
00:11:01,180 --> 00:11:04,180
is now a sophisticated bathroom

259
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,000
and kitchen is that what it is?

260
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,260
So you you know we're doing

261
00:11:11,260 --> 00:11:14,140
some great things. And you know

262
00:11:14,140 --> 00:11:17,614
part as hopefully you all join

263
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:20,230

264
00:11:20,230 --> 00:11:21,250

265
00:11:21,250 --> 00:11:23,230

266
00:11:23,230 --> 00:11:25,700
occurrences which is also right

267
00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:27,900

268
00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:29,700

hardly contain myself. This >>

320
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,400
is a superior example >> of

321
00:13:53,250 --> 00:13:56,900
exactly why we have our cost

322
00:13:56,900 --> 00:13:57,150

businesses of this ilk to our

326
00:14:03,170 --> 00:14:06,000
downtown area. I am so excited

327
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,230
about these improvements. I can

328
00:14:07,230 --> 00:14:09,700
hardly contain myself and will

329
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:10,210
be happy to make the motion to

330
00:14:10,210 --> 00:14:12,120
improve the incentive and its

331
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,100
associated resolution. I'll

332
00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:16,130
make the second I'll add my

333
00:14:16,130 --> 00:14:17,270
excitement as well to this. I

334
00:14:17,270 --> 00:14:18,290
think it's great. I think

335
00:14:18,290 --> 00:14:20,130
people have really been

336
00:14:20,130 --> 00:14:22,140
watching what's happening as

337
00:14:22,140 --> 00:14:23,130
they drive up and down the

338
00:14:23,130 --> 00:14:25,800
street Dixie Highway and we're

339
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,130
getting a lot of hits. A lot of

340
00:14:27,130 --> 00:14:28,250
people are >> like what's going

341
00:14:28,250 --> 00:14:30,700
in on what's going in there?

342
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:32,140
What's going >> on? It's a very

343
00:14:32,140 --> 00:14:35,614
clear message right on a major

344
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:37,210
thoroughfare through our city

345
00:14:37,210 --> 00:14:40,210
>> to show that when businesses

346
00:14:40,210 --> 00:14:42,210
make improvements it makes a

347
00:14:42,210 --> 00:14:44,140
difference too to the

348
00:14:44,140 --> 00:14:45,160
residents, to the other

349
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,180
businesses and to everyone

350
00:14:47,180 --> 00:14:49,150
driving through everyone.

351
00:14:49,150 --> 00:14:51,250
Whether you stop here or not,

352
00:14:51,250 --> 00:14:53,130
it's a much more pleasant

353
00:14:53,130 --> 00:14:56,130
drive. When you see good things

354
00:14:56,130 --> 00:14:58,100
my one question >> is so that I

355
00:14:58,100 --> 00:14:59,210
understand this wouldn't have

356
00:14:59,210 --> 00:15:01,100
been possible right. If we

357
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:03,220
hadn't have changed our facade

358
00:15:03,220 --> 00:15:05,180
improvement grant >>

359
00:15:05,180 --> 00:15:07,900
guidelines. Right. >> We didn't

360
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:08,150
used to be able to be on the

361
00:15:08,150 --> 00:15:09,170
other side of this. No, no >>

362
00:15:09,170 --> 00:15:11,500
actually we were. We were

363
00:15:11,500 --> 00:15:13,300
allowed to be on Dixie, ok? And

364
00:15:13,300 --> 00:15:14,700
we have been working with them

365
00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:15,210
on submitting grant the grant

366
00:15:15,210 --> 00:15:17,110
application for for a while. So

367
00:15:17,110 --> 00:15:19,280
we that it was just it was just

368
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,190
oh see. Just yeah. It was only

369
00:15:22,190 --> 00:15:24,400
the building next to it. That

370
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,260
the building behind it was not

371
00:15:25,260 --> 00:15:26,220
eligible >> would not have been

372
00:15:26,220 --> 00:15:27,220
eligible but this one would

373
00:15:27,220 --> 00:15:28,290
have been all right. Anyway

374
00:15:28,290 --> 00:15:30,300
it's great. Thank you very much

375
00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:31,240
for the improvements. So you

376
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,280
seconded that motion. I did

377
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,280
indeed. Second >> Commissioner

378
00:15:38,140 --> 00:15:40,800
Shank, was your hand up first

379
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,270
I don't know who was first.

380
00:15:42,270 --> 00:15:45,120
Okay. Board member Shank. Thank

381
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,110
>> you. Thank you, Mayor. I'm

382
00:15:48,110 --> 00:15:49,160
going to echo those sentiments

383
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,290
as well. I really think that

384
00:15:51,290 --> 00:15:54,110
this facade program works in

385
00:15:54,110 --> 00:15:56,800
this case. This is an example

386
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,600
and unfortunately I don't think

387
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,190
we always get it up here as a

388
00:16:00,190 --> 00:16:01,270
board. I don't think we get it.

389
00:16:01,270 --> 00:16:03,200
How these programs are supposed

390
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,290
to work. This is how the

391
00:16:04,290 --> 00:16:06,210
program is supposed to work.

392
00:16:06,210 --> 00:16:08,260
The program was created at

393
00:16:08,260 --> 00:16:10,426
Incentivize Business who reacts

394
00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:12,190
accordingly to the best to the

395
00:16:12,190 --> 00:16:14,900
program? This business did

396
00:16:14,900 --> 00:16:15,200
that. They've been very good

397
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,190
stewards. They've been very

398
00:16:16,190 --> 00:16:19,300
good. Good good business owners

399
00:16:19,300 --> 00:16:22,150
within the city. They held up

400
00:16:22,150 --> 00:16:23,190
their end of the bargain.

401
00:16:23,190 --> 00:16:24,130
They're wrapping up their

402
00:16:24,130 --> 00:16:27,300
construction now and now we get

403
00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:29,700
to hold up our end of a bargain

404
00:16:29,700 --> 00:16:32,150
and reward them for it. And I

405
00:16:32,150 --> 00:16:35,150
would draw a distinction of

406
00:16:35,230 --> 00:16:38,623
this facade grant award to that

407
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,220
which a business on their own

408
00:16:42,220 --> 00:16:43,270
went and did the facade

409
00:16:43,270 --> 00:16:45,427
improvement without any program

410
00:16:46,100 --> 00:16:47,100
and then the program was

411
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:48,300
created specially for the

412
00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:49,400
business. I think there's

413
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:49,280
that's a little bit of a

414
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,428
problematic scenario but this

415
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,700
one I wholeheartedly support

416
00:16:54,700 --> 00:16:55,140
and I agree with your comments

417
00:16:55,140 --> 00:16:58,120
I share your excitement. Board

418
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,600
member Karen, thank you. Like

419
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:01,250
to say congratulations to the

420
00:17:01,250 --> 00:17:04,200
company I met the one of the

421
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,160
partners are owners there. I

422
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,270
remember going down Dixie

423
00:17:07,270 --> 00:17:09,210
Highway one day and I saw no

424
00:17:09,210 --> 00:17:11,260
windows in that building and I

425
00:17:11,260 --> 00:17:13,600
made a beeline I was going

426
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:14,600
somewhere else but I made a

427
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,190
beeline to at the time

428
00:17:16,190 --> 00:17:17,290
Commissioner Flanagan's house

429
00:17:17,290 --> 00:17:20,700
and said what's going on? I'm

430
00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:22,000
excited something's coming

431
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,120
here. I feel the energy and we

432
00:17:24,120 --> 00:17:26,220
are so pleased. We have been

433
00:17:26,220 --> 00:17:28,300
involved with Main Street for

434
00:17:28,300 --> 00:17:31,190
some time and two. I'm gonna

435
00:17:31,190 --> 00:17:33,419
call you Margolies right.

436
00:17:34,220 --> 00:17:36,180
Margolis Thank you too to our

437
00:17:36,180 --> 00:17:38,120
staff member here who we

438
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:39,150
understand that it takes a

439
00:17:39,150 --> 00:17:41,160
special type of person to

440
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,240
connect with the business

441
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,100
owners. Business owners have

442
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:45,160
not always felt the

443
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,100
friendliness in Oakland Park. I

444
00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:49,800
can attest to that and we

445
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:50,140
certainly appreciate from

446
00:17:50,140 --> 00:17:52,500
whence we've come. Thank you,

447
00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:56,150
Mr. Hebert for your part in in

448
00:17:56,150 --> 00:17:59,120
that in giving us the right

449
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:01,150
tenor for what I think >> is

450
00:18:01,150 --> 00:18:04,615
just the >> cusp. I'm trying to

451
00:18:07,170 --> 00:18:09,000
get down out of big words. I

452
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,150
wrote a grant application today

453
00:18:10,150 --> 00:18:12,100
and I use such large words in

454
00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:14,400
his art to come down. We're on

455
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:15,200
we're on the cusp of something

456
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,100
great in this city and we look

457
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:20,500
forward to the ribbon cutting.

458
00:18:20,500 --> 00:18:21,230
We look forward to coming over

459
00:18:21,230 --> 00:18:23,140
and seeing what you got. We

460
00:18:23,140 --> 00:18:24,240
look forward to recommending

461
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,190
you to other people that we

462
00:18:26,190 --> 00:18:27,150
know leveraging our

463
00:18:27,150 --> 00:18:28,260
relationship because we want

464
00:18:28,260 --> 00:18:30,170
our Oakland Park businesses to

465
00:18:30,170 --> 00:18:32,417
remain strong. So congratulate

466
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,130
thank you board member Karen,

467

Mayor, if I could I'm sorry to

492
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:23,230
interrupt but before you

493
00:19:23,230 --> 00:19:25,700
adjourned the board meeting, if

494
00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:27,000
there's no further business, I

495
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,140
want to note that Kathy has

496
00:19:28,140 --> 00:19:29,290
received our new banners for

497
00:19:29,290 --> 00:19:31,240
Downtown which you saw several

498
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,700
months ago and you reviewed and

499
00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:35,210
I just want to note that

500
00:19:35,210 --> 00:19:36,250
they're here now and we're

501
00:19:36,250 --> 00:19:37,290
excited about them. They're

502
00:19:37,290 --> 00:19:39,290
colorful based on the colors

503
00:19:39,290 --> 00:19:40,280
that you had approved for the

504
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,270
downtown area and I think

505
00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:44,210
they're really going to dress

506
00:19:44,210 --> 00:19:46,100
up the place. So we're excited

507
00:19:46,100 --> 00:19:49,100
about that too. Thank you

508
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,000
super. That's great. They look

509
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
really good. Okay. And you

510
00:19:55,300 --> 00:19:56,100
know, the great thing is now in

511
00:19:56,100 --> 00:19:57,230
the past three months we now

512
00:19:57,230 --> 00:19:59,170
have three new establishments

513
00:19:59,170 --> 00:20:00,170
that are serving food on

514
00:20:00,170 --> 00:20:02,210
Oakland Park in Oakland Park in

515
00:20:02,210 --> 00:20:04,500
the culinary district. So now

516
00:20:04,500 --> 00:20:05,150
these signs are actually

517
00:20:05,150 --> 00:20:07,120
beginning to mean something >>

518
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:10,000
which is a wonderful thing. >>

519
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,900
So we will now adjourn the the

520
00:20:12,900 --> 00:20:14,210
cia meeting and reconvene the
