REVIEW SITE PLANS SP-8339 - Earl Wallace for Frank Hall - Shopping Plaza on U.S. 1 from Palm Way to Pine Bluff Earl Wallace was present to discuss the plans. Chairman Bennington advised that this plan is before the Board for final approval. He then read the comments from Frank Marshall concerning the stormwater management engineering information being complete, adequate, satisfying the Code requirements, and listing two stipulations: 1) a berm placed on the east side of site where parking has no curb or gutter to be shown on the plan; and 2) a letter from the owner indicating that he will be responsible for flushing exfiltration pipes and inlets once a year and if he does not comply with same, the City will do flushing and charge owner with expenses. Mr. Wallace showed a revised set of plans to the Board members, indicating the required berm on same. He also presented a letter to the Board members from the owner, Frank Hall, advising that he would be responsible for flushing the exfiltration system on his property, as required by the Code. Mr. Marshall explained that all the systems should be flushed, probably once a year. He advised that the Edgewater Code states this requirement under Section 9.5-61. He further advised that he would be keeping records of all the new construction and would be notifying the owners of this procedure when their flushing is due to ensure that this maintenance procedure is followed through. If the owners do not comply with this requirement, the City will flush the systems, after 30 days notification, and the owner will be responsible for this cost. Mr. Chenoweth made a motion to approve this site plan, subject to the requirement that the owner comply with Section 9.5-61 of the Code con- cerning flushing of the exfiltration system on the property. Mr. Opal seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 4-0. SP-8354 - Coleman Construction Company - Duplex - Lot 41 & 42 La Circle Shangri- There was no one present to represent Coleman Construction Company regard- ing this site plan. . o Q Chairman Bennington asked the Board members if they wanted to table this matter to the next meeting since there was no representative present. The Board members decided to approve the plan, as submitted, that a representative did not need to be present since this was to be constructed in a previously approved subdivision. Mr. Opal made a motion to approve this site plan, seconded by Mr. Finn. Motion CARRIED 4-0. SP-8353 - Edgewater Alliance Church - Addition - 310 N. Ridgewood Avenue There were two members of the Church present to represent this site plan. They did not advise the Board of their names. One of the representatives advised the Board members that the water retention survey would be coming in on Friday and it was his understanding that that was all that they needed for approval. Chairman Bennington advised that the plan does not show the street locations, parking, drain- age, refuse, an architect's seal must be on the plans. Chairman Bennington asked if they were given a copy of the site plan requirements list, to which the representative advised that they were. The represent- ative advised that a survey was furnished to the Planning secretary. Chairman Bennington read the 11 items on the requirements list to the representatives, advising them that these items need to be furnish~before approval is given. The secretary showed the survey to the Board members that was furnished by the members of the Church. None of the Board members had been given a copy of this survey, which did address some of the items on the site plan requirements list. Frank Marshall advised that he had talked with Reverend Ciano about this project and he was to have his engineer give calculations of the storm- water retention concerning the proposed addition and the existing structure. If there is no stormwater management system existing, the Code requires that a system be designed to take care of it. After this information is furnished to him, he will evaluate it and see if they are in compliance with the Code requirements. Dana Armstrong, a member of the audience, spoke up and stated that the parking area and buildings occupy approximately 98% of this property. He further stated that the parking areas are only 9' wide and there is no place for 'the water to go down the street. He said they are not in compliance with the Code, that they had to get a variance when the Church was first built. A discussion then ensued concerning the parking require- ments. Chairman Bennington said that the setbacks seemro comply with the Code, however, there is a question about the parking. Chairman Bennington said that the first 10' of the project must be landscaped with a buffer, the stormwater calculations must be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer, the parking areas must be shown - indicating the number present and the number required in compliance with the Code. The Tree and Landscape Ordinance must be complied with. All of these items need to be shown on the drawing. The representative from the Church asked what they would need to do if the parking spaces were only 9' wide, rather than the required 10'. Chairman Bennington advised him that they would have to go before the Board of Adjustments and ask for a variance. Mr. Chenoweth made a motion that this site plan be tabled until all of the abovementioned requirements are met. Mr. Opal seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 4-0. SP-8359 - Luis Geil - Addition - Industrial Building - 200 N. Flagler Mr. Geil was present to discuss his plans. -2- Planning Commission Meeting January 4, 1984 . o u Chairman Bennington read the comments from Frank Marshall, City Engineer, which stated that he did not feel preliminary approval should be given, the site plan is incomplete whereby no stormwater retention specifications have been submitted with the plan. Mr. Geil said he brought with him stormwater calculations for part of the project for Mr. Marshall to review. The water at the present time is draining toward the FEC property which is on the east end of the property. Mr. Marshall advised that he had not been out to the site to review it because he did not have enough information to do so. He also said if you have any impervious areas, it does not allow the water to run into the ground and provisions should be made for taking care of it. Mr. Geil stated that the building was not worth a lot of money and they did not wish to put too much money into the project for this reason. Mr. Marshall said that he realized that they wanted to put as little money into it as possible, however, some system must be devised to take care of this water. A discussion then ensued between Mr. Geil and Mr. Marshall regarding this stormwater retention matter. Mr. Chenoweth made a motion to table this plan to the next meeting so that Mr. Geil and the City Engineer can work out the problems concerning the drainage. Mr. Opal seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 4-0. MISCELLANEOUS Chairman Bennington read a memo from Joan Taylor, requesting that the Board speak to Mr. Jose Solldevilla concerning his plans to open a restaurant at 2025 South Ridgewood Avenue, which is presently a residence. He is requesting advice as to how he can go about opening this business. Mr. Solldevilla showed the Board members his plans on remodeling this house to accommodate a restaurant with bathroom facilities, etc. After a general discussion of his request, it was the opinion of the Board members that he did not have to come before the Planning Commission for approval, he is not altering the outside of the building, just the inside. He was advised to comply with the building codes and present his application to the Building Department for his permit. . Frank Marshall advised Mr. Solldevilla to call him before he puts in his parking spaces so that he can review his plans to be sure he is in comp- liance with the Code requirements. Mr. Solldevilla agreed to do this. Mr. Opal advised the Board members that he went out to the site of the Edgewater Park Apartments and found that they have marked off the parking spaces to be only 9' wide, rather than the 10' feet that is required by the Code. Mr. Opal said he wanted this fact put into the records. There being no further information to come before the Roard, upon motion made by Mr. Finn to adjourn, seconded by Mr. Opal, the meeting was adjourned at 8:25 P.M.
