SITE PLAN REVIEWS

Mr. Mark Dowst of Zahn, Sliger and Mr. Bill Rossiter, owner, were present
to discuss the proposed subdivision. Mr. Dowst noted that a letter was
received from Briley, Wild approving the final construction plans and
they have submitted a Performance Bond in the amount of $163,706.07 which
is 110% of the cost of improvements. Also a letter was received from
Briley, wild approving the amount of the cost of improvements. He also
noted that Lots 15 and 16 have been designated for retention areas, which
might also be used for a recreation area. Mr. Winter noted that we have
a declaration of covenants and restrictions. Mrs. Winks noted that the
application fee and letter requesting approval was received March 1. The
amount of the application fee was $1,724.88 and due to a change in the
cost of the required improvements, an additional $19.24 was paid. Mrs.
Winks passed out a letter from Briley, Wild pertaining to the retention
area being used for recreation. Mr. Mark Dowst stated that they will
submit a check in the amount of $4,500.00 for recreation but does feel
that they have given a nice green area that will also be used by the resi-
dents. Mr. Opal questioned an easement on the south side of the property
abutting lot 15. Mr. Dowst said they are procuring a private easement
from Helen Townson. He explained that the water will be piped down Lime
Tree across 16th into a lake. Mr. Opal asked if the City of Edgewater
has the right to allow deed restrictions on a subdivision. Mrs. Winks
noted that the deed restrictions must be submitted per the code before
final plat approval is given. Mr. Winter felt that the easement'should
be procurred from Ms. Townson as a condition to the final plat approval.
Moved by Mr. Chenoweth, second by Mr. Finn, and CARRIED 3-1, to give
Final Plat Approval to SP-8227 Gas Lite Square Subdivision in that it
does comply with the Comprehensive Plan and a condition that an easement
be procurred from Ms. Townson. hv., 0 f~ ~ ~. - SL.... ~'{, , l? ~ ~

SP-8303, J. Arnette & L. Jarvis" Mango Tree, I-I and Conservation -
Preliminary/Pinal Site plan Approval'
Mr. Robert Howard was present as authorized representative to discuss the
proposed industrial building on Mango Tree. Mrs. Winks passed out a
telephone memo from Briley, wild pertaining to this plan. Mr. Howard
gave a brief description of the project and noted that all water would
be retained on site in a pond in the back of the property. Mr. Winter
questioned that if in the future the building were divided and a business
should corne in that would require a sprinkler system, what would happen.
Mr. Howard stated that to his knowledge there is no plan to divide the
building, but if this should happen, they would have to comply with the
State Fire Code. Mr. Winter read the Department Head comments and noted
that the recommended changes were made on Revision 1 drawing. Mr. Opal
asked if a sprinkler system should be required in a welding shop. Mr.
Howard stated no they are not required. Mr. Howard addressed Mr. Cross'
comment pertaining to the water draining into Mango. He stated that it
o
o
will drain into the planted area in the front.

COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. Winter read the letter from Mr. James A. Jones, who is asking the
Board to clarify the need to corne for site plan approval to construct a
second floor addition to Coronado Paint Company, Inc. Mrs. Winks stated
that she talked to the person who brought the letter in and told them
they could attend the meeting if they would like, but it wasn't necessary.
Mr. Winter read three different sections of the Code which stated that
any major changes to a building must corne before the Commission. The
members agreed that this should have some type of approval.
Moved by Mr. Opal, seconded by Mr. Chenoweth, and CARRIED 4-0, to ask
Mr. Jones to prepare a plan for the Planning Commission's review and
recommendations.
OLD BUSINESS
The Annexation discussion has been postponed until April 6, 1983, to
allow Mr. Clark time to receive signatures from the rest of the property
owners. Mrs. Winks showed the members the map denoting what property each
person owns.
Mr. Winters asked for a volunteer to attend the Zoning and Planning Seminar
to be held the following day in Orlando as Mr. Bennington is ill and won't
be able to attend. Mrs. Winks stated that a reservation has been made and
we will be charged even if no one attends. None of the members were able
to attend. Mr. Opal said to cancel it out due to illness.
NEW BUSINESS
Mrs. Winks told the Commission that Mr. Ray Richards was in to ask a question
on a change to the Shop E-Z on Indian River Boulevard. He is planning on
changing the interior of the building to put in a meat shop. The only
exterior change is a meat locker that will set outside of the rear of the
building. It will not interfere with the setbacks. Mr. Winter felt that
it would be creating a hardship to have him submit site plans for this.
The Commission was in agreement that he should see Mr. Murphy for a building
permit.
Mr. Opal presented two booklets pertaining to Comprehensive Plans. He feels
that this information would be beneficial to the Commission. Mr. Winter
suggested that Mrs. Winks copy them for the members.
Mr. Opal stated that he would like the By-Laws changed. and that a 4-1 vote
be required to approve a site plan. Mr. Chenoweth stated there isn't any
difference between a 2-1 vote and a 3-2 vote, as they both are only passed
by one vote. Mr. Finn felt it would make for an ineffective Commission to
require a 4-1 vote, especially if 5 members were not present. Mr. winter
felt that we should have a full Commission to discuss this. It was decided
that this would be put on the agenda for April 6, 1983.
Mr. Opal talked about the Comprehensive Plan concerning Stormwater Drainage.
He feels that the items are not being.checked on the site plans. Mr. Winter
felt that this should also be discussed after the members review the items
and with a full Commission.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:20 PM.
