impact the neighbors. Mr. Storch discussed the concerns brought up at the neighborhood meeting,
including; the separation between this project and the existing homes, the proposed setback and
buffer indicated in the PUD Agreement; site line for two-story structures and the adjacent existing
homes; and the eagles nest, which will be placed in a Conservation Easement. Mr. Storch further

City of Edgewater Page 4 Printed on 6/23/2020
Planning and Zoning Board Meeting Minutes June 10, 2020
Mr. Storch discussed the potential revenue the City would receive from this development. He added
that the roads will be private and maintained by the Homeowner's Association, not the City.
John Griswold, 2614 22nd Street, voiced concerns about flooding, the proposed improvements to Air
Park Road and the site line of two-story residences. Mr. Storch spoke about the stormwater
management requirements mandated by St. Johns River Water Management District.
Rick Dixon, 102 S. Orange Street, New Smyrna Beach, addressed stormwater management for the
proposed development.
Mr. Lear added that by law they cannot shed stormwater discharge onto adjacent properties.
William Hartzell, 2904 22nd Street, commented on: two-story structures; the property being farmland
when he purchased his property and now townhouses being developed; and traffic.
Chairman Kennedy stated a traffic study will be required which will dictate any required
improvements the developer must implement.
Mr. Storch again went over the site -lines for two-story structures and the difference in buffers and
setbacks for this development compared to developing per the Land Development Code. He then
addressed traffic and reiterated that they were not increasing density from what is currently
permitted.
Brian Gintz, Edgewater, commented on: access and traffic related to the development to the north
and the proposed development to the south.
Cynthia Black, 2723 Umbrella Tree Drive, commented on: traffic; why the City has not bought the
lot that is for sale to the south to extend Air Park Road to 30th Street; and flooding from
Glenbrooke.
Debra Winger, 2204 Vista Palm Drive, commented on: traffic and flooding from Glenbrooke; the
City only caring about lining their pockets; and using impact fees to improve Air Park Road.
Mr. Storch stated it was apparent that City Staff and Boards do care and he did also. He further
discussed stormwater management and flooding concerns during construction, especially in times of
heavy rainfall. He continued that Florida Shores did not have any stormwater management when it
was built where new projects are required to provide it to maintain their stormwater.
Mr. Storch again reiterated that they were not requesting an increase in density; stating that a
property owner has entitlements to their property, to say the Board should deny their ability to use
the property as entitled is a taking. They are only asking for what they are currently entitled to and
are willing to work with the City to find solutions to the issues that currently exist.
There being no further discussion Chairman Kennedy closed the public hearing.

Future Land Use Map to include 28.022± acres of land located at 2099 Air Park
Road as Low Density Residential with Conservation Overlay.
Mr. Lear provided a staff report and recommendation. Mr. Lear clarified that the existing County
Future Land Use designation is based on gross acreage, where the City bases density on net acreage
which would allow fewer houses than if developed in the County.
Chairman Kennedy opened the public hearing and clarified that this request was strictly to change
the Future Land Use designation.
Glenn Storch, 420 S. Nova Road, Daytona Beach, explained that upon annexation the City is
required to give the property a City Future Land Use designation. He added that the proposed
designation is nearly identical to the existing County designation, the difference is the City uses net
density, which would permit fewer units than what exists with the County.

Planning and Zoning Board Meeting Minutes June 10, 2020
townhouses were needed in the City; and he liked the mix ofsingle and two-story units.
Mr. Maroney stated he also had concerns with traffic and the capacity of Air Park Road. Mr. Lear
clarified that improvements will be made by the developer of the project to the south. Mr. Storch
stated this was the first step in the process; the next step will the engineering of the development
which will address traffic and other aspects of the development. Mr. Andrejkovics asked if the
intersection of Air Park and S.R. 442 would have to be improved, Mr. Lear replied that would be
determined by the traffic study. Mr. Storch added that the traffic study is done prior to development
of any homes.
Mr. Rainbird stated that while he was impressed that 30% of the land was being preserved and the
way they are addressing the concerns from the neighbors he was also concerned about stormwater
and traffic.
Mr. Rainbird expressed concern that the development will be townhomes and stacking units rather
than individual single family homes; he also expressed concern regarding water pressure. Mr. Storch
stated reclaimed water would be used for irrigation but the City was in good shape with water and ij
there was an issue with capacity the City could not approve development. Mr. Rainbird also liked the

looked out for.

There should be an easement of 8 to 10 feet on the north property line due to neighbors Garage is only 3 feet off
the Property line. This will make the garage & new house 13 feet apart & with 2 feet over hangs, that's 9 feet
apart! There's not enough room for 2 houses on these 2 lots, but room for 1 house on the 2 lots. Two small
houses would take the property values of the neighborhood down when sold for less amounts. Don't allow code
adjustments.

Building a small house will lower property values in the neighborhood. 1 nice house on the 2 lots would be great.
2 small house on these two lots should not be allowed. Something should be done with north lot (1029 Beulah)
easement before considering any variances on 1025 Beulah. Please don't allow any variances. We have codes
for these reasons.
