for a nice buffer for the residential area. The petitioner has met more than the

from the requirements of Chapter 3, Advertising; Section 3-33(m), Pole (Ground Sign),
of the Dania Code of Ordinances. The request is to construct a pole sign which is 12' x
24' or 288 sq. ft. in area. Section 3-33 (m) permits a pole sign of no greater than 50 sq.
ft., with two such signs permitted if the property fronts on two thoroughfares. The sign
is proposed to be located on the 9.13 acre site located at the northeast corner of
Tigertail Blvd. and 1-95. The sign is proposed to be located approximately 325' north of
the southern property line and 20' east of the eastern property line which is adjacent to
1-95.
The property is legally described as a parcel of land being a portion of Section 33,
Township 50 South, Range 42 East, said parcel also being a portion of Lot 3, and all of
Lot 4 and a portion of Tigertail Boulevard, of TIGERTAIL GROVE RESUBDIVISION as
recorded in Plat Book 30, page 20 of the Public Records of Broward County, Florida......
Will Allen addressed the board regarding this proposed variance from the sign code.

the adjoining pieces to the south and east. The sign is located 20' east of the property
line off of a utility easement. There are existing 15' x 50' (750 sq. ft) billboards on the
south and north ends of the property that belong to Ackerly Communications. Mr. Allen
explained to the board the criteria needed when evaluating a recommendation to grant
a variance. Richard Mogerman and Mike Mogerman, of Second National Acceptance,
addressed the board at this time explaining their hardship from the 50 sq. ft. provision.
They stated a larger sign is needed due to the vertical shades installed on 1-95 which
blocks the view of the site, also, the citizens are having a hard time finding their way to
the site, and they felt that this type/size sign will serve as a directional purpose. Mr.
Mogerman further stated that there are a number of uses on this 9 acre site, which is a
part of the total 30 acre recreational site, and it would be impossible to depict each use
on a 50' sign. With the type of sign proposed, each use, (go-cart track, skycoaster,
video arcade, golf, etc..) could be flashed intermittently as well as community service
messages to the public if desired. The board raised questions as to the type of lumens
9
(bulbs, led...) that will be used on the sign. The board also raised questions as to the
necessity of the extreme size of the sign, the existing billboard signs, and the existing
pole sign on the site to the south. Mr. Allen gave information to the board about the
variance request for a similar sign at the Sheraton Design Center. Mr. Mogerman
answered inquires as to D.O.T. directional signs and the problems they are having
obtaining these. Chairperson Daise opened the item to the public for 'comment.
Hearing no one and seeing no one, Chair closed the public hearing. Motion Zs made
by Victor Lohmann, seconded by Mike Rozos to recommend approval of the variance
VA-07-95, with the following conditions:
1. Self imposed moratorium on additional signage on all properties controlled
now and or in the future on the 1-95 abutment with regard to pole
signage;
2. As the design phase progresses, the shop drawings be remanded back to
the Growth Management Director for approval based on the lumens of the
sign itself, so as not to create a traffic hazard along 1-95.
3. The plans conform to the specifications of a digital sign and not a reading
sign.
4. That the City be provided advertising of civic events at no cost to the City.
(Only City of Dania events that are controlled by the City of Dania)
Motion passed on the following roll call:
John Chamberlain - yes Kim Dais - yes
