RE: North Palm Beach U-Haul Center 781065 Annexation
9225 Alternate A 1 A, Lake Park, Florida 33403
Dear Ms. Colbert:
First and foremost, thank you ever so much for your correspondence dated June 1, 2004 in reference to
voluntary annexation. We believe both of our interest will be well provided as the result of annexation.
Our community has become more business friendly and U-Haul will have their investment protected by
potential increased development and value.
As to the pylon sign and landscaping we ask you to consider the following: during our most recent
annexation, all non-conforming signs and landscaping were grandfathered for a period not to exceed two
(2)years. In the rezoning and special zone overlay along Northlake Boulevard all signs had to conform to
code within ten (10) years. In both areas (Southwest Annexation and Northlake) there has been a
renaissance in both business. activity and general appearance, the vast majority of residence and
businesses quickly and without urging conformed to the reasonable standards. There were in fact a few in
violation and encouraged by our Codes Department. Your position on landscaping is understandable in
that the property exists today as a service-retail center and if the use remains constant the necessity to
enhance landscaping should wait until proper planning can be accomplished. We would therefore request
you to reconsider, and accept an eight (8) year grandfather clause to exempt your property from
conformance to existing codes on both the pylon sign and landscaping. As in our other annexation
agreements the pylon sign and landscaping are considered non-conforming and subject to current codes if
land is sold or transferred or a major revitalization.
In conclusion; we are striving to accomplish a proper and orderly development along AlA not only in
what we believe to be the best public interest but also in you and your corporation's interest. We assure
you our request for your reconsideration is with merit and considered fair. We anticipate your response.
Tha ng you in vance I remain,
Sincerely,
Dennis D. Redmond
Village Manager
