Councilmember Beskin disclosed his potential conflict of interest for the reason that this request was for signage at the building in which the law firm of which he is a partner is located and the name of the law firm is to appear on one or more of the requested signs. He absented himself from the proceedings and thus did not participate or vote on this matter. Mayor Snyder opened the public heating.

The motion passed unanimously, 6-0, by voice vote. A motion was offered by Vice Mayor Rogers-Libert and seconded by Councilmember Holzberg to approve the requested non-use variance for the 112 sq: ft. sign, with the condition that no additional detached signs be requested or provided for the third building to be built on the remainder of the subject property, and conditioned upon Council's approval of a landscape plan.

The motion passed unanimously, 6-0. A motion was made by Councilmember Perlow, seconded by Councilmember Holzberg and unanimously passed, 6-0, to approve the non-use variance request to permit the subject signs to be set back 12' from the official right-of-way. A motion was made by Vice Mayor Rogers-Libert and seconded by Councilmember Cohen to approve the non-use variance request to permit one of the subject detached signs to be 20' high. The motion passed unanimously, 6-0. A motion to deny the non-use variance request to permit a 95.38 sq. fi. wall sign on the subject property was offered by Councilmember Cohen and seconded by Councilmember Perlow. The motion passed unanimously, 6-0. Council found that the sign was not compatible under the non-use variance criteria. C. HEARING NO. 96-2-2 (95-604). The applicant, Barnes & Noble, appeared before Council appealing a denial by Metro-Dade County Zoning Appeals Board of a non-use variance to permit 7 wall signs.
