SITE PLAN REVIEW SP-8406 - Earl Wallace for Pilch Construction - Quadraplex Mr. Wallace was present to discuss these plans. Vice-Chairman Stewart stated this was a site plan to build a quadraplex at 20th and India Palm Drive in Florida Shores. Mr. Wallace advised that the unit on the right of the site plan will be the one the owner of the quadraplex will reside in, the other units meet the requirements of 750 square feet. The landscaped buffer is in compliance with the Code wherein there will be a 5 foot planted area surrounding the property, a planted buffer to the west side which abuts single family residences. The plan complies with the stormwater manage- ment in that the property is less than an acre and will retain the water on site. He stated he has been working with Frank Marshall, City Engineer, to meet all the requirements in this area. Egress and ingress for all units is shown on the plans. There is compliance with the 25% crown cover by planting 7 trees on the site. They are utilizing 20% land use concerning the building coverage, with 66% open space and the minimum required by the Code~is 60%. Mr. Chenoweth questioned how this quadraplex would fit in with the houses surrounding it. Mr. Wallace stated to the south is an existing duplex and he feels it is very compatible to the area. All setbacks have been met, the land is flat and there are no problems with water in the area. East of the site is barren and north is a strip of land with a lake on the other side of the bushes. Mrs. Thomas made a motion to give preliminary and final approval to this site plan, that it meets all the requirements of the Code. Mr. Chenoweth seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 4-0. SP-8413 - Earl Wallace for Tropical Blossom Honey - Addition Mr. Wallace was present to represent this plan. Vice-Chairman Stewart advised that this was for an addition and they are requesting sketch plan approval. Mr. Wallace stated that Tropical Blossom has been in the City for some time and the zoning has been altered to meet the present standards. The shaded area on the site plan is the proposed addition. The area would be 4100 square feet. It would not extend any further on Whetzel Street than the existing structure that is on the northwest corner of the property. Tropical Blossom fronts on 4 different streets. The o o reason for asking for sketch plan approval is to avoid additional expenses that will be required for site plan approval if the Board feels construction of this addition will not be possible. Mr. Wallace further stated that there are problems in this area in that there is a question of land use and considerable problems with stormwater. In regards to the setbacks, this building is strapped on four sides by streets and everything in the area has been there many years, thereby creating a possible problem with compliance. This structure will be utilized for storage. There presently exists on the site, open storage. Part of this outside storage would be put inside, thereby enhancing the situation. Mr. McGinnis, the owner of Tropical Blossom, advised the Board that he previously had a problem with the water run-off in the area and he and Earl Copeland worked it out. He said that he needed more space. Vice-Chairman Greg Stewart asked Frank Marshall if Mr. McGinnis can take care of the water run-off from the roof, can it be contained or diverted. Mr. Marshall stated that he would have to go out to the site and review the situation. He said that the Ordinance says that you have to take care of what you add to the property and what is already existing on the property. Mr. McGinnis stated that the entire area is paved now and the water run-off has been taken care of by the trap that the City installed. Vice-Chairman Greg Stewart suggested that this site plan be continued until Frank Marshall inspects the property and reports to the Board with his recommendations. Mr. Wallace said that the Board is saying half-way that they can go ahead with the sketch plan, with Mr. Marshall's recommen- dation, however, he questioned why he was not getting 'sketch plan approval at this time. Mr. Chenoweth said he thought the project was worthwhile and thereby made a motion to approve the sketch plan, subject to the City Engineer's site review of the project and recommendation to the Board of his find- ings. Mrs. Thomas seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 4-0. SP-8353 - Edgewater Alliance Church - Addition - 310 North Ridgewood Chairman Don Bennington arrived at the meeting and Vice-Chairman Greg Stewart turned the meeting over to him. Reverend Siano and Mr. Amaral, the engineer, were present to discuss this site plan. Chairman Bennington advised that this site plan was glven final approval by the Planning Commission, subject to City Council approving of using City property for stormwater retention, which was not approved. The revised site plan shows the drain fill installed on the Church property; the retention area is the same as on the original site plan. Frank Marshall submitted a letter to the Board, stating this revised plan will handle this problem. Mr. Chenoweth made a motion to approve this site plan for final approval, seconded by Mr. Quaggin. Motion CARRIED 5-0. OLD BUSINESS Review By-Laws for new Board Chairman Bennington stated that the copy of the By-Laws in the agenda packet include the changes that were agreed upon at the last meeting. Mr. Quaggin made a motion to approve the By-Laws, as presented. Mrs. Thomas seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. -2- Planning & Zoning Board Minutes March 7, 1984 " o o Review Application for Site Plan Approval and Site Plan Requirement List Chairman Bennington advised that these two forms have been drawn up by the City Engineer, Frank Marshall, to comply with the requirements for site plan application. Mr. Marshall advised that he obtained similar forms from New Smyrna, Port Orange and the County in revising these forms. Chairman Bennington stated that Ordinance 715 in the Code addresses this site plan requirements list. He suggested that the mobile home zones be added to Article II, all of the mobile home zones. He questioned Mr. Marshall regarding Article II, paragraph J, wherein it requires nine sealed sets of plans. Why do we need nine sealed sets? Mr. Marshall advised that some sets that are submitted may not be the same as others. This makes the applicants submit a more final type of plan. One plan will be kept with the stormwater management system. He further stated that it will not cost the applicant any more money for nine sealed sets; the cost is not for the seal, it is for the work involved. Chairman Bennington referred to Item 4, paragraph C, wherein it states that single family or duplexes in previously approved subdivisions will first be reviewed by the Dpartment Heads and then transmitted to the Building Official at the Department Head meeting; if the Building Official determines that all the requirements of the Code have been satsifactorily addressed, he can then issue a building permit. If there are issues that require further review, the Building 0fficial will transmit them to the Planning and Zoning Board. Chairman Bennington suggested that a date should be put in that reflects the subdivisions that have been approved under our Subdivision Ordinance, in that there are subdivisions that were approved before this Ordinance and they would be giving up total control over them if a date is not notated. Chairman Bennington questioned whether or not the Ordinance should be amended to reflect these changes. Frank Marshall suggested working with these new forms and see how they work. If any other changes come up, they can be corrected at that time. Mr. Quaggin made a motion to approve the Site Plan Review Application and Site Plan Requirement List, with the above-mentioned changes, and to work with the new forms for a while before amending the Ordinance. Mr. Chenoweth seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. Review Permitted Uses for B2 and B3 Zones Chairman Bennington suggested that a workshop be scheduled to review these zones to allow enough time that will be needed to update them. By unanimous decision, the Board members agreed to schedule a workshop for Thursday, March 15, 1984, at 7:00 P.M. MISCELLANEOUS Mr. Quaggin advised the Board that he would be interested in at~ending the Planning and Zoning Seminar that DBCC is offering on March 20th. He asked if the City would pay for the cost of attending, which is $10 for enrollment, and he also asked if the City would pay for mileage and lunch for the day. Mrs. Thomas advised that she would like to go if she can get off work. Mr. Stewart said he would like to go if he could, also. Chairman Bennington asked that the secretary check with the City Clerk to find out what procedures are to be followed to pay for the expenses to attend this seminar. There being no further business to come before the Board, upon motion made by Mr. Chenoweth to adjourn, seconded by Mrs. Thomas, the meeting was adjourned at 7:50 P.M.
