EACH REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE MUST STAND ON ITS OWN MERITS WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER PROPERTY. The following questions pertain to the criteria upon which the City Commission and Planning and Zoning Board will consider this application. 1) Describe how special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same zoning district. This property is.located adjacent to,and faces 1-95 on the east. Allowing a larger sign will create visibility of the bulding signage from the principal roadway frontage. Code compliant signaqe will not effectively be visible from 1-95. There are no other industrial buildings adjacent to the site which are similarly similarly affected by the visibility from 1-95. 4 2) Provide evidence that the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. The property and frontage visibilty are not related to any action by the applicant, but rather are the results of the site location. 3) Describe how granting the requested variance(s) will not confer any special privilege on the applicant that is denied by the zoning code to other lands, buildings or structures in this same zoning district. The variance will allow the applicant to identify the property usage and tennant locations and allow for visibilty of the building signage from the 1-95 frontage which is a reasonable expection for the p_ro�erty and not a special privilege. 4) Provide evidence that the literal interpretation of the provisions of the zoning code would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant. The literal interpretation of the Code would not allow the tenant signs to be seen from 1-95 which the builidina faces. The tennants will not be able to provide adequate visibilty and identification for the principal building frontage. 5) Describe how the requested variance is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure. Sight line analysis and review of the distance versus letter heights indicate the proposed signage will be optimum for the building. This request is based upon the minimun effective increase in sign area. 6) Explain how the grant of the variance(s)will be.in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the zoning code, and that such variance(s) will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. Grantina of the requested variance will result in an increase, over the Code allowance, of area for signage but will allow for the signage to be reasonably visible to adjacent roadway. There is no identified detrimental nor injurous impact which will result from the granting of the variance. 7) Please add any other comments which may assist the City Commission and the Planning and Zoning Board in reviewing this request. The location of this property Dresents a unique situation. The adjacent properties will likely be limited in development. On the east is Ravenswood Road and the 1-95 right-of-way. On the north is the airport clear zone. On the south is BCAD property. On the west will likely be an extension of the parking lot. - - - - - -- - - - - - - - --- - --- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - This is to certify that I am the owner of the subject land(s) described above in the petition for variance.

Leeds,AICP, Director Date December 19, 2002 Growth Management Department City Manager Date STAFF REPORT GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT TO: Ivan Pato, City Manager C C FROM: Laurence Leeds, AICP, Director Growth Management Department RE: VA-65-02 — Variance request by Marvin Mandel of MFA Investments, LLC for property located at 3901 and 3903 South Ravenswood Road (SW corner of Ravenswood Road and SW 39th Street, east of I-95). DATE: January 14, 2003 Applicant wishes to construct two wall signs facing Interstate-95 (50 sq. ft. and 125 sq. ft respectively) and one wall sign facing SW 39th Street (50 sq. ft.), for total wall signage of 250 sq. ft. The sign code allows to 1/2 square foot of wall signage for each lineal foot of • building frontage. This is the total wall signage allowed, regardless of the number or location of signs. Applicant's building has 134 lineal feet of frontage on Ravenswood Road, limiting total wall signage to 67 square feet. Staff has determined that some of the elements of hardship apply to this property, including the following: "That granting the variance request will not confer any special privilege that is denied to other lands and buildings in this same zoning district," "That the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this zoning code, and that such variance will not be injurious to the area or detrimental to the public welfare." Nearby signs (storage warehouse wall sign, electronic billboard sign, and Ravenswood Tire wall signs) are larger or more obtrusive than the applicant's signs. Also, the size and scale of the proposed wall signage is similar or smaller than wall signage at Bass Pro (Outdoor World). STAFF RECOMMENIDATIONI Approval.

Dania Beach Blvd. Dania Beach, Florida RE: Anglers Landing(VA-55-00 and SP-56-00) Sign Variance Application Dear Mr. Leeds: On behalf of the property owner, MFA Investments, LLC and the applicant, Mr. Marvin Mandel, • we are herewith submitting a Sign Variance application package to increase the signage areas and permit a side street building sign for the above referenced site located at the southwest corner of Ravenswood Road and SW 39th Street. The subject property is unique in several respects. The principal frontage for the building is a combination of an access road, a railroad and the Interstate 95 corridor between the State Road 84 and the Griffin Road interchanges. The building's intended use is primarily wholesale business/industrial. Ravenswood Road functions as an access road and I-95 frontage road for the area's industrial, office and retail properties and for access to the airport employee and remote parking lots. The subject property will not be dependent upon a drive-by customer base from Ravenswood Road, but rather will require a distinct location identity and visibility as a destination for it's customers, which will primarily benefit from the I-95 visibility. The frontage area includes the 80 foot wide Ravenswood Road right-of-way, then the CSX railroad right-of-way, then the I-95 interchange ramps and mainline roadway. The intent of the sign variance is to provide a minimum visibility from the I-95 corridor for the building signage. MFA Investments, LLC is not requesting the variance for specific signs but is requesting allowance to provide all current and future tenants the opportunity for I-95 visibility by the proposed optimal visibility sign area variance. • Mr. Laurence Leeds, AI( October 30, 2002 Page 2 • Attached please find the following for this Variance application submittal: • Executed Application for Variance • Application Fee of$865.00 • Three (3) Copies of Site Plan • Elevation of Building with Proposed Signage • Photograph of Building under Construction Proposed Signage for Initial Tenants • Colored Rendering of Site Plan • Sealed Survey We are at your disposal to discuss this application and appreciate your consideration in this matter.
