information from the City's environmental board and the State of Florida Department of
Environmental Protection, staff would have no objection to extending the date.
A question arose whether two weeks were a realistic time frame for the State to complete
a review of the structure to determine whether it will be acceptable to the State. There was
general agreement a State review would be completed within that period of time.
Acknowledging that the applicant may not be prepared to give a formal presentation to the
Board, the Chairman invited the applicant to speak briefly relative to the two proposed dates
of continuance.
Mr. Andrew M. Nichols, Challenger Enterprises, tnc., speaking for the applicant, said he was
prepared to offer a presentation, but understanding staff's position, concurred with a
continuance to November 10, 1994. He added DEP has made a request of the applicant for
additional information and in order to provide this material, he said the applicant is going to
extend the DEP schedule. Replying to a question, Mr. Nichols said he would be unable to
make County application until the City rules on this matter, adding County and City
applications were not parallel processes. He indicated a possible damage situation.
Mr. Alan Stowell, the adjoining property owner, expressed concern and indicated his support
of the continuance issue. He said he had been aware of staff's recommended continuance,
and he and a number of speakers would want to be present to address this issue. He
indicated a ruling on the applicant's permit request will be available on November 14, 1994,
and the. next Board meeting after that date is December 8. 1994. Further, Tampa Bay
Regional Planning Council and the National Estuary Program have asked to also provide input.
Mr. Stowell said the Office of Environmental Protection sent the applicant a copy of a letter
of opposition dated October 25, 1994, written by Mr. Stowell, to which a response has not
, ,been received. Also, DEP hydrological surveys indicate insufficient information and the
hydrological engineer in Tallahassee stated, from a hydrographic standpoint, reasonable
'assuran'ce has not been provided that the project will not result in erosion to adjacent
properties due to changes in the existing littoral system. Mr. Stowell then requested this item
be continued to the December 8, 1994, meeting.
Mr. Nichols agreed a continuance was advisable, and said he had understood this would be
for the November,1 0,1994, meeting, indicating that the purpose for the continuance was for
staff to complete its recommendation which should be finished by that date. He repeated his
request for a November 10, 1994, continuance date.
In the ensuing 'discussion, consideration was for the technical aspects of this particular
"matter. To allow for more comprehensive gathering of information for a more thorough
evaluation, the consensus was the December 8, 1994, continuance date would be deemed
mo'stappropriate.
Ms. Martin moved for a continuance to the December 8, 1994, meeting. The motion was
" ,~uly seconded and carried unanimously.

Mr. Richter directed the Board's attention to a letter from the applicant dated October 25,
1994, to Mr. Stephen Sarnoff, Central Permitting Specialist, from Mr. Joseph Couturier,
Electric Sign Fabrication, W. Melbourne, Florida, wherein the applicant requests a continuance
of a maximum of thirty days to explore other available. options in an effort to solve their
problem without resorting to a variance.
The Chairman noted absence of a site plan with the application, and asked if a continuance
