“So on the night image, is there a requirement for the sign to be able to be lit so people would have an idea? I mean, otherwise, personally, I think it looks cool. I love the glass block.”

“So I just had to take a moment to look at some of the adjacent ones. So Legacy, they went with the larger, they have that bull or whatever animal head that's there. And then I think the other one is like Pinrod where it's pink and it's got the logo. I think in my recommendation is that they go back and look to see if they can increase the aluminum plate, try and do something, because the font is corporate. They're not even trying to make an attempt with construction materials to make it a bit more artistic. To your point, I understand where you added murals on the inside, but when the lights…”

“So I don't think it's, and again, I'm not speaking for the rest of my committee here, but I don't think it's the location. I think it's the signs. So, like, as much as I appreciate, you know, as the architect, you advocating to the entity that inside you want to be Wynwood, we are more concerned about outside of maintaining the artistic nature of the district. And I think in large part that our intention is they could try to find a way that allows them to keep their branded logo and adding a little whether it is adding a ripple of color or something, because what is Wynwood?

“So again, we're taking this with a grain of salt, right? You've already said this is a corporate logo. We're trying to, I don't care if you use materials, I don't care if you use color, that's up to you guys to see what they're okay with. But if the Starbucks of the world can do something similar when they have locations in Soho, because the area by its nature is supposed to be different, this is... where we're asking you to encourage them to be more creative, I think that's what we're looking for as a board. I don't care what you do. I think doing nothing is just not something we're going to…”

“I move for approval with the following conditions, that the... East facade is that the ownership maintains the east facade and its art aspect, whether it's running with a covenant in lieu with the adjacent property, and that's documented as part of their permit conditions. that the applicant consider additional art treatment on the lower promenade on the 29th Street facade to explore additional color aspects?”

“So I don't know the specifics on what land use is going to do, but if you have procured in some way, shape, or form the air rights and the density of your neighbor and built it into your building, there's some type of legal relation.”

“And I don't disagree, and I know that this is getting a little wordy, so I'll put a pin in it, but I don't want anyone to think that if you eliminate the mural on the east side and you're implementing some artwork in those little arches, that that one negates the other. Because that big mural on that east facade is everything.”

“Because if it's a painted as opposed to an applied, like one of the screens or something, even if the other building was eight stories, may not be ideal, but something would technically still be there.”

“I mean, it's something that their department has gotten very, very strict on, and it may be able to be mutually beneficial for the area by you know addressing something that has an interesting stylistic approach as well as maybe even meeting with FPNL on what poles are what light heads are approved for certain areas the poles the pole right but there's much smaller municipalities that are doing similar and I think that would be interesting”

“Right. But you can get it down to, let's say, four, that the poles are all the same, and you have head style one, two, three, four, but, you know, like I said, smaller, I think Florida City has done it, Homestead's done it, some smaller areas that I think that if we look at it, it would be advantageous.”

“streetscape heavy, I just think that meeting sooner than later with zoning, parking, public works and fire for those external elements are going to be so pivotal, you know, because you're going to have some things that are constraints you can't overcome. And then how do you live with those? That may kind of dictate some things.”
