Commissioner Turetsky asked about the view of the trucks if the request was <br /> approved. Mr. Meikle showed photos of the view and made arguments regarding the fact <br /> that State law requires the truck signage. Commissioner Kauffman said she would have no <br /> objection as long as there were a wall or fence to obstruct the view of the vehicles. It was <br /> clarified that there is landscaping, but no wall. Chris Steers said that a County ordinance <br /> prohibits the type of signage on commercial vehicles that was being proposed. <br /> Both Commissioners Morrow and Iglesias suggested that no decision be made on this type <br /> of request until more decisions are made regarding the future use of Sunny Isles Boulevard <br /> and the future site of the new government center. <br /> Summary Minutes of the October 14, 1999, Regular City Commission Meeting - Page 3 of 14 <br />
