“I don't think there's a rule for that. Yeah, no.”

“I mean, you could do the same thing that he suggested on the front, where you have the 18-inch and, you know, and in that is some planters. That would also kind of make that corner of the pool, you know, you wouldn't be accessible for your grandchild. Like they'd have to come all the way out and then get in.”

“Yeah. I was going to ask you actually about the landscaping plan on the side setbacks of the home. Are you planting new plants that will be the same height as the home?”

“Okay. I'm less concerned about the rear given that because you're going to have a green screen. But I think for future resale and just coherence of the architecture, I would encourage you to apply the same principles that you've got on the front and the back. But I would be...”

“I will move to approve with staff conditions the meeting of all code. Also with the removal of the LED strip lighting and flood lights and I think that was it for me. And the consideration of our suggestions regarding the rear elevation and the confirmation that the side setback plantings will be the height of the home.”

“Oh, thank you. And the comments. The suggestions, yes. Thank you. The suggestions for the front as well. The condition regarding the front elevation suggested by.”

“I mean, I would say I'm torn. I understand that 9 out of 10 signs that come before us are very straightforward. I have seen in the past times where this board has vastly improved a sign or caught things such as the sign says Bay Harbor in it instead of Surfside. I also in my mind is the general beautification of our retail and business district, which I think is signs and awnings together. Um, and a lot of times we get a sign by itself without an awning. And I, and I do think that we could do better about saying, if we're going to do signs, let's do the awning if it needs it. And how do those…”

“Yeah, I mean, what I was thinking is maybe this board could review one time what the rules are on a sign, and if we think they're sufficient, and as long as they meet the rules, then we're okay with them doing it. I would just like to know what they are, and we should all know what they are. And I would like to propose that, and I don't know, maybe this is a First Amendment thing, but we've seen a few signs over the years come in and try to capitalize on Bell Harbor and put Bell Harbor in their sign and I think that is a disservice to the branding of Surfside, so I don't know if we can...”

“There was a code change for that pharmacy.”

“Yes. I think it was just for that particular use, but we can...”

“I WOULD BE COMFORTABLE WITH THIS CHANGE BECAUSE I AGREE WITH YOU. I THINK WE WANT MORE BUSINESS TO COME AND HAVE IT BE EASIER TO OPEN IN SURF SIDE BUT I WOULD LIKE IF THE BOARD WOULD BE INTERESTED TO REVIEW THE SIGN REQUIREMENTS AND THE AUNNING REQUIREMENTS AND THE FACADE. DO THEY HAVE TO REPAINT THOSE FACADES? JUST SO WE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO DO AS A SEPARATE FUTURE DISCUSSION ITEM NOT RELATED TO THIS”

“I would move to recommend to the town commission that we make the sign review an administrative review That's my motion.”
Planning and Zoning Board · Jul 30, 2026

“Any opposed? Motion carries. I'd also like to ask that we do put the signs and awnings and facades generally what the rules are for this board to review it sometime in the future so that we agree.”

“Yeah, I mean, I think what you're saying is becomes a very binary decision. I think with a code, you either meet it or you don't.”
Planning and Zoning Board · Jul 30, 2026
- Play at 3:02:37
“So it's not subjective, which is exactly why we need the design guidelines, in my opinion. I think our role is to determine if something is compatible with the neighborhood. And the only way you can do that is by trying to articulate in a guideline what you believe is compatible and then rendering a decision on a design whether it meets those guidelines or not. I think without it, we should not be up here. I think our planning staff can determine yes or no it meets code and we shouldn't be up here. I think Surfside deserves a minimum standard of quality architecture. We get a lot of…”

“I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE REVISIT THE 2026 DESIGN GUIDELINES TO BE COMPLIANT WITH SB 180.”

“Yeah, and I think it will involve staff input first. I mean, you guys have a better understanding of SB180. Without question.”

“Yeah, just to follow up through the chair. I mean, obviously we need to be compliant. I think we should revisit, because I don't remember all the specifics of the guidelines, but for example, I don't think it talks about FAR, which was one of the changes. It doesn't talk about... So we might be able to go through and there's not as much, just because it was passed, if it doesn't speak to the items that were.”

“Yeah, I would just encourage us to go kind of point by point through, I mean, not tonight, but when we do get to this, through and just to see, because it's the more restrictive is the key, right? We can't be more restrictive. So, you know, it may be that there's 10% of this we have to remove or adjust, but the rest can stay or vice versa. I don't know.”
