NEW BUSINESS Site Plan Approval Applicant: Location: Project Description: Pr~ect Name: The 1700 Development Corp. (Tim Greene, Agent) Lake Street (behind Bernard's Restaurant) 66 unit Condominium, 11.29 acres Via Lago Chairman Thompson requested Mr. Annunziato to give a description of the project. Mr. Annunziato informed the Board this is a 66 unit condominium located behind Bernardts Restaurant. He then described the six different type units varying from one to three stories. The approximate price range is $105,000 to $155,000. The net density is 8.55 units per acre. This project will be served by City sewer and water. There are two entranceways, both from Lake Street, and the south half of Lake Street, a 25' right- of-way, will have to be dedicated when this property is platted. Mr. Tim Greene, Agent and Developer for the 1700 Development Corp., told about this being a unique~site with valuable vegetation which they have saved or relocated. He then explained the architectural MINUTES - PLAN~IING & ZONING BOARD AUGUST 98, 1979 concept. He stated there will be common recreation areas, ~ocks, exercise area, pool, walking gardens, etc. Their plans are to build in three phases as noted on the drawing. He will be glad to answer any questions. Mrs. Bond questioned what was proposed for the area to the west and Mr. Greene explained that the entire property will be surrounded by a 6' concrete wall which will be planted with vines and ground cover. He explained how they were trying to create a self-contained club-like atmosphere in concept. Mr. Annunziato referred to this not being-shown on the plan and Mr. Greene replied that it is noted in the notes and this was discussed originally, but they had to check the elevations. After the preliminary site work was done, this was noted. Mr. Ryder referred to Lake Street terminating and stated normally a turn-around is shown at the end and Mr. Greene explained that Lake Street was extended so the entrance would be 600T from it. Mr. Ryder clarified that he was referring to the termination and not the extension and Mr. Greene replied that he did not have a solution for that. Mr. Annunziato suggested thetproper signs indicating a dead end would alleviate this problem. He added it was not necessary to construct a cul-de-sac with this short street length. Mr. Greene added that it is a minimally traveled road. Mr. Ryder stated the residents have access from Lake Street and the street to the north and Mr. Greene agreed, plus there is access to the City park where there is an outlet to Federal High- way. Mrs. Bond questioned where additional guest parking would be and Mr. Greene informed her that two parking spaces per unit are provided with the garage and in addition, there will be driveways from the paved roads which would accommodate guests in front of the garages. Chairman Thompson requested the staff comments to be read. Mr. Annunziato read the memo from Mr. Howell, Building Official, listing the following comments: !. Show sidewalks on Lake Street. 2. 25% of the apartments in each building must be accessible for handicapped personnel. 3. 25% for parking for each building must be handicapped. Water Management approval required. 5. Health Department approval required. 6. Show setback d±mens±ons from property lines, between buildings, etc. Mr. Annunziato then read the following comments from Mr. Tom Clark, City Engineer: 1. I recommend platting. 2. Cul-de-sac should have a 40 ft. paving radius. 3. Commercial property should be included in the plat and an easement should be indicated for the west entrance roadway. 4. Setbacks and clearances should be shown on all buildings. -2- MINUTES - PLANNING $ ZONING BOARD AUGUST 28, 1979 Mr. Annunziato advised the Utility Director indicates the ingress, egress and utility easement should be increased to 35f The Police Department has noted outside lighting. The Public Works Department has noted the dumpster to be relocated from the northeast corner since it is shown in the right-of-way to be dedicated. His com- ments are that platting is required, driveways to be shown, and D.E.R. approval is required for emergency outflow. He then read the following recommendation from Mr. Charles C. Frederick, Parks & Recreation Director: "Based on the Subdivision Regulations, the recreation dedication requirement for subject development is .99 acres (.015 x 66 units). He recommends ~ credit be given for pri- vate recreation provisions, thus reducing the requirement to .495 acres. He recommends further that fee in lieu of land be re.quired as outlined in regulations.Tt Mr. Annunziato advised the recommenda- tion is the plan be approved subject to these commSnts. Mr. Mauti asked Mr. Greene if he had received these staff comments and Mr. Greene replied that he received three of the comments and had discussions with Mr. Annunziato and Mr. Clark. They are minor problems which can be resolved. Mr. Mauti clarified that he had no objections to the staff comments and Mr. Greene agreed. Chairman Thompson asked if the home ownership of these units would be fee simple and Mr. Greene informed him it would be a condominium association with the land conveyed to the association for maintenance. Mr. Mauti made a motion to approve this plan subject to staff com- ments, seconded by Mr. Hester. Motion carried 5-0. OTHER Mr. Annunziato informed the Board that Mr. Perry Cessna has re- joined the staff which the staff is real pleased about. Mr. Cessna was valuable when.he left and valuable to be back. La Riva Restaurant Mr. Mauti referred to the p~ans for the La Riva ~staurant and told about being cal~ed and advised that the Community Appear- ance Board is against this Boardfs recommendations. Our appro- val was subject to staff comments including those from Mr. Ryder regarding sidewalks, lighting, and the parking area to be moved back 5~ for safety purposes. He understands when this plan went to the Community Appearance Board, it was turned down because they did notwant the parking lot where we did. Mr. Annunziato replied that his understanding is Mr. Davis interpreted the Board'smeaning to expand the easternmost parking bay to the point where itcut 'into the landscaped area along the Intracoastal and this formed a conflict betWeenthe two Boards. He does not think expanding the one area 5~ for trucks was interpreted cor- rectly. It was a major alteration.and this was a point of conten- t-ion. Additionally, the CommunityAppearance Board felt this -3- MINUTES - PLANNING $ ZONING BOARD AUGUST 28, 1979 restaurant was not separate from the entire shopping center and they requested additional landscaping in the shopping center pro- per. The applicant was informed and he is awaiting a response. Mr. Mauti referred to the parking being tight at the entrance and stated the recommendation was to move that portion back. Also, he heard the Community Appearance Board suggested some of the parking should be omitted. Our comment was based on the safety of that turn-around where it was adjacent to the front door of the restaurant. Mr. Annunziato clarified the recommendation 'was to expand the parking area only'at the northeast corner of K-Mart and not all along the back, but the modified plan showed the park- ing expanded all along the east side of K-Mart. Mr. Mauti clari- fied it was about 28 to 30' where the entrance to the restaurant was and at the corner of the building for a turn-around for trucks. Mr. Mauti then asked who has the authority to eliminate any park- ing and Mr. Annunziato replied the Board of Adjustment. Mr. Mauti advised the Community Appearance Board requested the parking to be positioned where it was or some taken out. Mr. Annunziato advised the way the modified plan was presented to the Community Appearance Board caused some confusion. Maybe their intent was if the total parking was counted, possibly all this parking was not needed. Mr. Ryder stated we requested the parking be counted to see what the allocation was. Mr. Annunziato con- tinued that the intention of the Community Appearance Board was if parking was not needed, there could be beautification along the Intracoastal. However, only the Board of Adjustment can grant a variance for less parking. Mr. Mauti clarified that by making the 25' road going in 35 to 40t, it ~uld be safer. Mr. Annunziato informed him this was inter- preted by the applicant to mean .the entire east side of the plaza. He will discuss this again 'with Mr. Davis. He thinks the proper route would be to re-allocate parking and do a parking assignment They can make the northeast corner open with paving for trucks turning, provide sidewalks and do landscaping in the shopping complex proper. Mr. Mauti stated he thinks our recommendations were rightand Mr. Ryder added that at 'the beginning, he had in mind to table this and getthese questions answered, but the motionwas to approve subject to these things. However, no time has been~saved and they'wilt have to come back with~the answers to the questions. Mr. Annunziato clarified that the Boards are not in disagreement, but'the applicant~must ~respond in.more detail. ADJOURNMENT Mr. Mauti moved to adjourn, seconded by Mrs. Bond. Motion 'married 5-0 and the meeting was properly adjourned at 7:55 P. M. Suzanne M.'Kruse, Recording Secretary (One Tape) --4--
