Mr.Learstated that the request has changed somewhat since the agenda packets went out due to FDOT wanting the driveway relocated. Glenn Storch, 420 S. Nova Road Daytona Beach, stated they are at the end of a long development process. He added that FDOT does want the entrance moved to the north, therefore the driveway would be 475-feet from Mockingbird Lane and 94-feet from Pearl Street. He further stated that this project was unique in the frontage on US 1 and they are using that area for the driveway, signage and extensive landscaping. Mr.Storch added that there will be enough stacking in the entrance for at least 10 cars. He added thatFDOT does not want access from this development to the median on US 1, but they will be working with FDOT to address the median to allow for better access to Discovery Days. Mr. Lear stated that the traffic stacks onto US 1 in the morning with people trying to enter Discovery Days, and the developer has offered to try and improve that issue. Mr. Weiss clarified that there will be no left turn into the project.Mr.Storch stated that was correct. They originally planned to have a left turn in, but FDOT said they could not do that. GrantRemmy,EngineeringPermits, stated he previously worked for FDOT as a Design Traffic Engineer, he stated they are trying to reduce conflict points by not allowing the left turn. He stated that in theory this was safer andthatiswhatFDOT wants. He further stated that this was not the developer’sidea, FDOT is requiring this and since US 1 is their roadthe developer has to do as they say. Mr. Leonard stated this needs a turn lane even if they have to acquire property to do so, this is a recipe for disaster. Mr.Storchstatedthevariancerequestis based on necessity, there are already condominiums developed to the north, there is no property to obtain. Mr.Rosssuggestedmakingtheentrancewider. Mr. Valley stated they could do that and make the entrance 460-feet from MockingbirdLane.Mr.Storch stated there was a setback from the property line. Mr. Lear stated that setback was five (5) feet and there needs to be a 40-foot separation between driveways. Mr. Valley reiterated that they were willing to work with FDOT to fix the median and add a turn lane into Discovery Days. Daniel Johns, 5889 Williamson Boulevard Port Orange, stated the changes suggested will work for this project. Mr.Storch stated they will increase the entrance width and have it flare out to about three (3) feet from the property line andtheexitlanewill be moved closer to the entrance lane. He added that they will work with FDOT on the left turn lane intoDiscoveryDays.Mr.Storchthenstatedtheywillmakethe entrance five (5) from the property line so they do not need an additional variance. Mr. Lear stated the entrance/exit will be 465-feet from Mockingbird Lane and 54-feet from Pearl Street, there will be a six (6) foot median on the property andthedriveway will flare for better access, they will improve the median into Discovery Days and there will be no right turn lane into the property.
