Mr. Andrejkovics asked about the northern and southern buffers and if the fence/wall could be
adjusted away from the property lines. Ms. Kelly stated yes, however, Mr. Lear cautioned the Board
that having landscaping on the outside of a fence or wall can lead to a lack of maintenance. Mr.
Andrejkovics confirmed connection to City sewer; and asked if the riverfront uses would be
accessible to the public. Ms. Kelly stated there will be a separate access point for the public and the
RV sites would be in a gated area. Mr. Andrejkovics asked about security for the RV sites; Ms. Kelly
stated there would be a guard house.
Chairman Kennedy asked for more information regarding the marina and the type of slips that would
be provided. Ms. Kelly stated a maximum of 10 overnight slips would be permitted by St. Johns
River Water Management District and would be located along the canal; day slips would be located
along the Intercoastal. Chairman Kennedy then asked if the number of RV sites could be reduced to
allow for an increase in tree preservation; Ms. Kelly stated they would consider a reasonable
reduction.
Mr. Lear suggested the developer meet with the neighboring property owners to discuss the proposed
development and their concerns. Chairman Kennedy agreed and gave an overview of recent
meetings where the developer met with concerned neighbors and how well that worked out. Mr. Lear
added that the residents had some very good ideas that went into the PUD Agreement for those
developments. Mr. McFall agreed to meet with them.
Mr. Wright asked if there was a definition for transient and if RV's would be permitted to remain
on-site when the owners leave. Ms. Kelly stated living on site would not be permitted and as far as
RV's remaining in park she did not see an issue, but that is open for discussion. Mr. McFall stated
many owners will keep their RV there when they go home and there will be security.
Mr. Andrejkovics asked about keeping the lighting from spilling onto adjacent properties. Ms. Kelly

which Ms. Kelly confirmed. Mr. Lear added that staff can require a lighting plan as part of the site
development review.
Mr. McFall, stated the development would include not only a bar, but a restaurant also.
Mr. Maroney asked about limiting boat size that would be permitted at the day slips. Ms. Kelly stated
the location was shallow and that would limit boat size. Mr. Maroney suggested adding signage
limiting the size of boats permitted and indicating the area is a "no-wake zone"; he added that he
agreed with meeting with the neighbors in the area. He further commented on his concerns for safety
as it relates to RV's entering and exiting on US 1, with the understanding that FDOT will have final
say on any improvements to the road. Mr. McFall stated he felt at least a decel lane would be
required, with FDOT approval.
