that time. After polling the members, it was determined a quorum would be present;
however, James Brake may not be able to attend as he was traveling.
There were no items scheduled for the December meeting, which would fall on
Christmas. Mr. Breese commented if an emergency item arose, staff would call a
meeting on Thursday, December 20th, and again, the members did not have a conflict
for the December 20th date.
Chair Saberson noted Mr. Miller brought an item to his attention which was the Board
does not review development in the Community Redevelopment Agency District. He
thought it would be helpful for the Board to be apprised of what was forthcoming there.
Mr. Breese recalled at one time, the Board did not review development in the District,
but when the City Commission sat as the Community Redevelopment Agency Board,
they did not see the purpose of reviewing an item as the Community Redevelopment
Agency Board and as the City Commission. Since then, the Planning and Development
Board was reviewing all projects within the City.
In response to a request from Mr. Miller, if items only reached the staff level, the
Department would provide information on them to the Planning and Development Board
as it was thought the information would help the Board with decisions made later.
S. New Business:
Attorney Weinger administered an oath to all those intending to testify.
A.1. Sunshine Square Easement Abandonment (ABAN
12 -001) — Approve proposed abandonment of a
portion of a Utility Easement (ABAN 12 -001) at 501
SE 19th Avenue. Sunshine Square Shopping Center,
zoned C -3 (Community commercial). Applicant:
James Mirrione, E & A Sunshine Square, LLC.
Mr. Breese reviewed the application and identified the property on a map. The
developer was requesting abandonment of a portion of a utility easement. With the
redevelopment of the Publix store, the new footprint caused the building to encroach
over the top of the utility easement. A new easement was created in the field, having a
90- degree turn. Approximately 355 feet of the easement was abandoned and the
utilities relocated. The applicant provided the City with a new easement section for what
was changed. The application was a housekeeping matter and the new easement was
recorded in the County records. A new survey with the new legal description was
provided, which was reviewed by both the Engineering and Utilities Departments who
approved it.
There were no questions from the Board or the applicant.
