Mr. McCarty presented background information stating the applicant proposes to
renovate an existing building and shed to create offices, storage, and signage for three
businesses: BriCour Development, Cournoyer Construction, and Brico Electric. A site plan
and color elevation drawings were submitted for the record.
Brian Flannery and Pierre Cournoyer detailed the proposal to remodel and update tho
existing wood frame structure, keeping the same design theme. The project will have pale
yellow walls with white trim, corbels, and balustrade; green doors, and green storm
shutters. The existing sheet metal roof will be cleaned and painted. New wood
latticework, gingerbread, and handrails will complete the design theme. A fivewfoot threow
inch tall, freestanding wooden monument sign will be painted in the same colors and
located to the north, in front of the building, perpendicular to Pierce Street.
. Board members raised concerns that no onsite parking or retention is available and
none is required by code. Concerns were expressed with situating the building within five
feet of the property line, and that minimum setbacks standards are not in effect for this

type of project. These were felt to be loopholes in the code that need to be addressed.
As no pavement is In place, a question was raised regarding vehicular access the storage
shed for loading and unloading materials without driving on tho grass. Mr. Cournoyor, said
materials will be hand carried to and from the storage shed. Discussion ensued regarding
use of the driveway shared with the adjacent property. Mr. McCarty stated restoration of
this typo building can be a pleasant addition and would complement the surrounding
neighborhood as long as care is taken to straighten the uneven roof, porches, etc. Staff
recommended approval of the buitding and proposed signage.
Mr. Cournoyer responded to questions regarding the designing architect. He said the
applicants are developers and it is in their best interest to create a project that will look
nice to potential clients. The interior and exterior remodel will be high quality, good
restoration. Board members credited the applicants for thoir choice of location. .
Member Cagni moved to accept ORB 98-001 as proposed for the building renovation
and sign. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.

Concerns were ex'pressed the City appears to be sOftening its parking requirements.
Member Pliska requested staff to clarify details regarding today's Case IORB 98-001. He
questioned why retention was not required, and which City zoning representative reviewed
and approved the project with no on site parking for the occupants. Board members were
skeptical about information provided concerning the project's architect. Staff was
requested to investigate. .
Discussion ensued regarding David Little's multi~le use development on Clearwater
beach, recently approved with onry two onsite parking spaces because public parking
exists across the street.
Mr. McCarty reported the Pinellas Trail mural program is underway. Discussion ensued
regarding the decision for the City Commission, rather than the Design Review Board, to
.. judge the artwork. Discussion ensued regarding the program's funding, history of murals

ensued regarding murals as art versus advertising, and the merits of murars versus
billboards. .
