Summary Explanation and Background:
Section 62-2889(b)(5) states that subdivision signs shall be no higher than four feet tall and cannot exceed 100 square feet in overall size. Additionally, subdivision signs, which are part of a wall or fence, shall not exceed eight feet in height. The developer is requesting a waiver to construct a subdivision sign that exceeds 100 square feet as part of the fence and entrance features at the Island Forest Preserve subdivision in Merritt Island. The subdivision fence and sign will meet the eight-foot height requirement as 7' 8" is the proposed high point.

Island Forest Preserve is a new subdivision located in Merritt Island on the north side of East Crisafulli Road, approximately 1.3 miles east of Judson Road. The subdivision contains 110 home sites on 110.34 acres. The proposed entry way and sign will be on Moonrise Drive at the intersection with East Crisafulli Road.
