Commissioner McCray inquired about the Senior Advisory Board and was informed that there are Alternates that could be moved up. Public Hearing Item VI. A. The agenda will be corrected to remove the postponement notation in order to move forward with the request for the conditional use/site plan approval for Woolbright Plaza. There is a related item on the consent agenda for the height exception as Item VlI.D.I. Mr. Bressner requested that this be combined with Item VI.A. Mr. Cherof agreed that this could be done, but that two separate motions would be required. The items will be heard together under Public Hearing. Vice Mayor Weiland asked that the request for approval of the height exception be for architectural purposes only. Mr. Bressner stated that approval of the variance was site specific, but the approval could include a condition that the purpose of the height exception is for architectural purposes to hide mechanical equipment. Mr. Rumpf reported that the height exception was to hide a stairwell, which is required by code, and not an elevator shaft. Attorney Cherof suggested placing this restriction under additional City Commission conditions. Commissioner Fisher noted there were concerns regarding the U-turn in front of Quail Run on Woolbright Road. Commissioner Fisher inquired if a requirement for no U-turns could be included in the conditions.
