Development Order regarding case SGN2003-01016 at 2416 Gulf to Bay
Boulevard (Phantom Fireworks)
RE:
Dear Mr. Hunsickar:
On February 5, 2003, the Planning Staff reviewed your application for a Comprehensive
Sign Program to increase the area of an attached and freestanding sign from Minimum
Development Standards of 20 square feet for each sign to 40 square feet (2.6 percent of
the building fa<;ade to which it will be attached) for the attached sign and 46.67 square
feet (less than one half the lot width of 150 feet) for the freestanding sign.
The attached sign will consist of white channel letters mounted to the fa<;ade by a raceway
painted to match the building. The sign will be internally lighted and will read
"PHANTOM FIREWORKS". The freestanding sign will include a sign fa<;ade area of 42
square feet and a base of 26.67 square feet. Under the provisions of Section 8-102 a base
of 22 square feet is permitted. The 4.67 square feet in excess of the maximum permitted
is added to the total amount of signage requested, resulting in a total of 46.67 square feet
of signage. The sign will be 10 feet in height including a base three feet in height. The
sign will read "PHANTOM FIREWORKS" in red letters ona white background. A
reader board two feet in height consisting of three lines of text will include black letters
on a white background. The border of the sign and the base will be dark blue. A polished
metal band, eight inches in height with two neon lights will separate the sign face from
the base. An existing freestanding sign 17 feet in height and 54 square feet in area will be
removed with this application. The application for the Comprehensive Sign Program has
been approved for the signs as submitted with the condition that the existing freestanding
sign be removed prior to the final inspection of the proposed freestanding and attached
SIgns.
