05-15-1986 Q o CITY OF EDGEWATER PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD May 15, 1986, 9:00 A.M. COMMUNITY CENTER Chairman Wheeler called the Planning and Zoning Board meeting to order at 9:00 A.M. in the Community Center. ROLL CALL; Members present were: Jake Wheeler, George Quaggin, Fred Finn, Nancy Blazi, James Mackie and Billy Klein. Also present were Lynne Plaskett, Planning Assistant, Jan Morris, Secretary and Dennis Fischer, Building Official. Mr. Loeffler attended late. SITE PLAN REVIEW SP 8606 COMMERCIAL OFFICE BUILDING U.S. 1 AND RIO VISTA B-3 Mr. Charlie Cobb introduced himself to the board. Chairman Wheeler went over the comments on the site plan. He brought up out-door lighting. Mrs. Plaskett questioned whether there is going to be out-door lighting in the parking area at night for security reasons. Mr. Cobb answered he hoped to put spotlights on the outside of the building, but had not considered putting lights in the parking lot. There was discussion of saving the large hickory tree on the northeast side. Mrs. Plaskett explained to Mr. Cobb that the board won't be approving the future building at this time, although he is putting in the required parking for the addition. He will have to come back to the board prior to putting the addition on. Mr. Cobb stated this will not be done for a while anyway. Mr. Klein questioned where the restroom facilities are in the area he has shown for a future tenant. Mr. Cobb said this is part of the original building, we will stub in the plumbing, and put a slab there. There will be no floor coverings, vanities, toilets or anything for a while. Mr. Mackie went over the drawing with Mr. Cobb, explaining if there are restrooms, it should be shown. Mr. Fischer, Building Official, spoke to the board that this is not a full set of construction drawings. He has discussed this with Mr. Cobb, such as the plumbing requirements and he has been assured this will be done in the preliminaries with a full set of construction drawings. This is just a layout. The board members reviewed the site plan and drawing. Mrs. Blazi made a motion to approve the Site Plan of the Commercial building on U.S. 1 and Rio Vista, being seconded by Mr. Finn. Motion CARRIED 6-0. SP 8607 SEAFOOD MARKET, 109 EVERGREEN B-3 Mr. Nestor Olijnyk came before the board. There was discussion among the board members and Mrs. Plaskett as to the correct zoning of this property. It was determined this is zoned B-3. Mrs. Plaskett explained this does abut residential property therefore it will require a buffer; a fence. This can be found on the site-plan drawing. It was determined that the parking requirements are met and there is a 10' setback. This will be retail seafood sales only. Chairman Wheeler went over the comments on the site plan. Mrs. Plaskett informed the board that the City Engineer had sent a letter with necessary changes to Mr. Olijnky after he reviewed the first set of plans. These are corrected plans, however, we do need to send these new plans to the City Engineer. Mrs. Morris told the board that Mr. Ferrara did review the new set of plans this week, his approval has been given. Q o Mr. Loeffler (who entered the meeting during this site plan approval discussion) stated the handicapped parking space won't work because the garbage men won't be able to get to the dumpster. Mrs. Plaskett stated this has been discussed at great lengths and tried to come to an agreement that if that space is occupied he will be reponsible if they come to pick up the garbage. Mr. Leoffler suggested turning the dumpster in another direction. Mr. Fischer agreed that the chances of a handicapped individual being parked there at the same time the garbage men come is pretty unlikely. Mr. Mackie asked if Mrs. Plaskett had a chance to look over the plan where the handicap ramp is and where the wheelchair would come out and where the parking of the car would be. Mrs. Plaskett said she had the original one redrawn and this seems to be the best way it would work in order to comply with the parking requirements. She went over the dimensions with the board members. Mr. Mackie made a motion to accept SP 8607, as and regulations of the City Engineers, when the being seconded by Mr. Loeffler. Motion CARRIED long as he follows the rules work complete, notify them, 7-0 SP 8608 BOWLING ALLEY, 1408 S. RIDGEWOOD AVENUE B-3 Mr. Luis Geil came before the board. The board members reviewed the paperwork. Mrs. Plaskett pointed out that this is the preliminary and any comments that are addressed will be addressed on the final site plan approval. She also brought out that handicap parking was one of her comments; a suggestion for correction is to take off two feet on either side of the entrance and make two handicap parking spaces up in the front. It was determined that the zoning is proper for this. Chairman Wheeler went over all the comments on the site plan. Mr. Loeffler made a motion to accept this preliminary plan, being seconded by Mr. Mackie. Motion CARRIED 7-0. OLD BUSINESS Set date for public hearing on rezoning of Caldwell proeprty Mrs. Plaskett informed the board members they will have plans and all the information discussed before in their next packages. There was discussion about an existing site plan request. Mrs. Plaskett explained that this paperwork has been located and they are trying to get an informative package together to give the board members, all at one time. Today, we are to just set a date for a public hearing. There was much discussion and confusion as to the procedure that should be followed with this request for rezoning. Mrs. Blazi commented that this has to be dealt with just as any other request would be handled. Mrs. Plaskett explained the only night the hall is available is June 4th. Mr. Mackie expressed his feelings that the board should have a workshop or something to discuss this prior to going into the public hearing. Mrs. Plaskett again explained the packages will be available at least a week prior to the public hearing for the board members. Mrs. Blazi read from the zoning ordinance that the board has thirty days after the public hearing to come to a decision. We must follow the book, no matter who makes the request. She also explained that this board just makes a recommendation to the Council, and another public hearing will be held by them before final action is taken. Mrs. Blazi made a motion to set the public hearing June 4th at 6:00, being seconded by Mr. Loeffler. Motion CARRIED 6-1. Mr. Quaggin voting NO. -2- Planning & Zoning Board May 15, 1986 ~ o ; There was discussion with Mr. Garthwaite, from the audience, regarding the people being heard at the public hearing. It was the consensus of the board that everyone should be heard, however, if everyone just repeats what the other person has already said, it will have to be controlled. Mr. Klein spoke of a time limit being set on the filing of applications. In this particular case, we are reviewing an application from 1981 or 1982. He feels six months or a year should be set that a new one should be filed. It was agreed that this is a good idea. Mr. Klein made a motion that Mrs. Plaskett send to a memo to the City Council for changing the rezoning application procedure in this manner, setting a time limit on the applications, being seconded by Mrs. Blazi. Motion CARRIED 7-0. NEW BUSINESS Memo from Planning Assistant, Amendment to zoning regulations Chairman Wheeler asked the board members if they read the memo. Mrs. Plaskett asked for questions concerning what is being requested. She explained this would eliminate the B-1 through B-6 type of businesses that are set up in these storage areas and so forth. We are having a lot of problems with this, the I-I districts should be used as they were in- tended. She wants to do this a step at a time; taking out the B-1 through B-6 special exceptions in the industry, then next time she will bring a list of permitted uses that should be in this district. Mrs. Blazi made a motion that the Assistant City Planner get the proper wording for this from the attorney, if necessary, as to how our new ordinance would read and provide us with a list of what they feel should be in the permitted uses by our next meeting. Mr. Klein seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 7-0. MISCELLANEOUS Mr. Garthwaite asked if he could be supplied with a package regarding the Caldwell property and notified of any meetings scheduled concerning this. There were no objections to his request. Mrs. Morris said she would call him when the packages are ready. ADJOURNMENT Mrs. Blazi made a motion to adjourn the regular meeting, being seconded by Mr. Klein. Motion CARRIED, meeting adjourned 10:00 A.M. -3- Planning & Zoning Board Minutes May 15, 1986
