The board discussed application 25-83, which proposed installing a sign on the roof of a Tudor Revival-style structure at the corner of Pinellas and Court Street. This building is noted as the only commercial Tudor Revival property within the local historic district. The sign’s design and placement were reviewed for consistency with neighborhood context and adherence to the Secretary of Interior standards. The sign, constructed primarily of vinyl, will project slightly from the roof, an aspect that the board found aesthetically agreeable.

Despite the building’s lengthy construction, which began before the tenure of one board member, the approval of the sign was seen as a potential indicator of progress. The property owners reportedly experienced setbacks due to weather-related impacts on other properties they own, contributing to delays.

The board’s discussion highlighted the sign’s alignment with new city code allowances for roof signs. The board unanimously agreed that the sign would not adversely affect the streetscape or the building’s historical integrity. The approval was granted with the standard condition that the Certificate of Appropriateness would expire within three years if a building permit is not issued.
