Commission discusses Harbor Drive drainage overlap and consistency on political sign enforcement
Summary
Staff warned that a Harbor Drive North drainage project will overlap other town projects during king‑tide season; commissioners also debated sign code enforcement in FDOT right‑of‑way and asked staff to consider a consistent approach or a short‑term resolution for campaign season.
Staff reported that the Harbor Drive North drainage project will run during king‑tide season and may overlap other projects; contingency plans include using a property scheduled for demolition for staging and parking. The manager said staff is coordinating with property owners to minimize southern‑town impacts and that projects will have contingency plans for tide events.
Commissioners then turned to political sign season. Several members described inconsistent enforcement in the past and cited FDOT removal of signs in right‑of‑way. One commissioner recommended enforcing the code consistently and either collecting signs at town hall or asking property owners to move signs back onto private property; staff suggested drafting a resolution or sign‑code tweaks for campaign season. A path forward included bringing the issue to the September meeting for a consistent town policy for the primary and upcoming campaign activity.
