>> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: BEFORE WE GET TOO FAR, I WOULD LIKE TO FIRST CONGRATULATE MR. ARNOLD GAINS ON HIS RECENT WIN OF COMMISSIONER OF FORT PIERCE DISDISTRICT 1. HE'LL BE SWORN IN ON THE JANUARY 3RD, REGULAR COMMISSIONER MEETING.
THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD MEETING FOR EVERYONE TO ATTEND. AND MS. JOHNSON-SCOTT, YOU NEED TO GIVE MR. GAINS A CALL AND BE SURE
THAT HE KNOWS WHO YOU ARE. >> HE KNOWS WHO I AM.
>> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: OKAY.
[LAUGHTER] >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: ONCE AGAIN, I DON'T THINK THERE'S VERY MUCH THAT I COULD SAY CONCERNING FORMER SENATOR BOB DOLE THAT WE HAVEN'T ALREADY HEARD THROUGH THE MEDIA OR DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW. BUT HE WAS ANOTHER ONE OF THE GREAT LEADERS OF AMERICA. AND I THINK WE'LL MISS HIM DEARLY WITH HIS STYLE AND HUMOR. HE CERTAINLY KNEW HOW TO PULL TWO PARTIES TOGETHER AND WHEN HE WAS IN THE SENATE, I COULD SAY THAT THE SENATE WORKED A LOT SMOOTHER THAN IT DOES TODAY. AND RATHER THAN GOING TOO DEEP INTO POLITICS, I'LL STOP THERE. NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS, WOULD BE ROLL CALL.
>> MS. JOHNSON-SCOTT IN >> PRESENT.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 3.04 ACRES, CURRENT FUTURE LAND USE OF THE PROPERTY IS COMMERCIAL, WHICH IS IN THE COUNTY FUTURE LAND USE, PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE IS CODE, GC CITY OF FORT PIERCE.
THE PROPOSED ZONE IS C 1 CITY OF FORT PIERCE ZONING AND IT HAS A COMMERCIAL OFFICE. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION. BEFORE YOU ARE THE POSSIBLE ACTIONS OF THE PLANNING BOARD, YOU COULD RECOMMEND APPROVAL AS SUGGESTED BY STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. OR YOU COULD RECOMMEND DISAPPROVAL
OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FOR THE PRESENTER?
>> CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE EXISTING ZONING AS IT CURRENTLY EXISTS AND WERE YOUR GOING WITH IT. THAT'S, THE COUNTY, COMMERCIAL, IS THERE A CURRENT. THAT'S THE CURRENT ZONING CLASSIFICATION. MOVING TO GENERAL ZONING?
>> CORRECT. >> YOU MENTIONED OFFICE, IS THIS MORE OF WHAT'S THE C 1 IS THIS LOT IN THIS AREA, THE PROPERTIES AROUND IT WHAT ARE THEY ZONED AS?
>> SO, THE PROPERTIES SURROUNDING IT ARE RESIDENTIAL, AND IT'S ALSO C-3 TO THE SOUTH AND TO THE NORTH IT'S C-1 WITH ANNEXATIONS PER THE STATE, WE HAVE TO GIVE IF A COMPARABLE ZONING TO WHAT THE CITY HAS. AND THIS ACTUAL ONE PROPERTY IS A PART OF A LARGER PROJECT THAT'S GOING TO COME BEFORE & IT'S GOING TO BE REZONED ANYWAYS.
>> THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT, IT'S COMING IN ON THE LEVEL OF WHAT THE COUNTY HAS. AND THAT GETS US AWAY FROM THIS OFFICE-TYPE
ZONING COMPLICATION? >> CORRECT.
>> THANK YOU. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NOT SEEING ANY, I'LL OPEN TO THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING. ANYONE HERE LIKE TO SPEAK? NOT SEEING ANYONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING. COME BACK TO THE BOARD, ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS?

>> YES. >> NEXT ITEM OF BUSINESS, ITEM 6-B IS AGAIN BEING OFFERED BY MR. GILMORE, AND REZONING SOUTHEAST CORNER OF SEAWAY DRIVE AND NORTH U.S. HIGHWAY 1. AND THAT'S A FAIRLY SMALL PIECE OF PROPERTY, IT SEEMS TO ME.
>>. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: YES.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON, PLANNING CHAIR AND BOARD MEMBERS, BEFORE YOU IS A ZONING ANNEX AMENDMENT FOR ONE PARCEL LOCATED IS HE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF SEAWAY DRIVE AND NORTH U.S. HIGHWAY 1. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY .11 ACRES, FAIRLY SMALL HAS A CURRENT ZONING OF C-6 MARINE COMMERCIAL PROPOSED IS C-6 GENERAL COMMERCIAL. THE STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL BASED ON THE FOLLOWING, IT'S CONSISTENT WITH 135 AND 126 OF THE CODE AND IT DOES NOT EFFECT THE PUBLIC HEALTH SAFETY CONVENIENCE AND GENERAL WELFARE. THE STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL WITH CHANGES. OR RECOMMEND DISAPPROVAL. IF YOU RECOMMEND DISAPPROVAL IT WILL REQUIRE A VOTE BY THE COMMITTEE FOR
APPROVAL. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER:
QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? >> I HAVE A QUESTION.
>> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: YES? >> I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A
[00:10:05]
HISTORICAL MARKER IN REGARDS TO A CHURCH THAT WAS ON THAT>> WE HAVE BEEN OUT THERE. WITH THE APPLICANT BECAUSE.
>> IT'S A PLAQUE, A BRONZE PLAQUE, I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
>> NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SIGNS, BUT NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, WE COULD ALTS LOOK INTO THAT.
>> IF THIS WAS A HISTORICAL PIECE OF PROPERTY, WOULD IT GO BEFORE THE HISTORICAL PRESERVATION BOARD?
>> TO MY KNOWLEDGE IT WOULD. BUT I DON'T KNOW IT TO BE A
HISTORICAL PROPERTY. >> IT'S IT IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN AGERTOWN. IT'S ALONG U.S. 1. IT'S ADJACENT TO A SHOPPING CENTER. A LINEAR SHOPPING CENTER.
>> ANY IDEA, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WOULD KNOW THE ANSWER, HOW CAN THIS ONE TRACK OF LAND BE ZONED WITH A MARINE DESIGNATION WHERE NO OTHER IS. OR WAS THIS ZONED MARINE PREVIOUSLY?
>> THERE ARE MANY PIECES OF PROPERTY THAT WE WONDER WHY IT HAS IT'S CURRENT DESIGNATION, SOME CAN BE THROUGH ANNEXATIONS, AS WE JUST WITNESSED IN THE LAST. OFTEN WITHOUT A DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL READY TO GO, WE ARE ANNEXING TO WHAT THE COMPARABLE IS TO WHAT THE COUNTY IS, EVEN THOUGH THAT MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE. THAT'S OUR PROCESS RIGHT NOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT BRINGING IN PROJECTS ALL TOGETHER SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS CHANGE TWICE, BUT, AGAIN, I THINK THERE'S SOME INCONSISTENCIES IN THE FACT THAT COUNTY AND CITY PROPERTY ARE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER, THROUGH THE PROCESS OF ANNEXATION, PERHAPS, THAT'S WHY. BUT THAT'S PART OF OUR JUSTIFICATION FOR SUPPORTING THIS ZONING, IT IS A MORE APPROPRIATE ZONING THAN A MARINE ZONING.
>> SINCE MR. ANGELO'S OWNS THE PROPERTY LOT. HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE BOUNDARY LINES OF THE SOUTHERN LOT AND THE SHOPPING CENTER TO SEE WHAT KIND OF ACCESS ANY FUTURE PROJECT WOULD HAVE? I MEAN, BECAUSE, UNLESS HE'S GOT A RIGHT-OF-WAY FROM THE SOUTHERN SHOPPING CENTER, I DON'T SEE ANYWAY OF THERE BYIE
BEING A DRIVEWAY OF ANY KIND. >> I DO NOT BELIEVE THERE ARE PLANS FOR DEVELOPMENT ON THIS SITE ON IT'S OWN. BECAUSE OF THAT, THE SIZE, AND THE ACCESS, IF THERE WERE ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE WITH THE ADJACENT PEACE OF
PROPERTY. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: IT'S JUST PRIMARILY, A HOUSE CLEANING MEASURE?
>> IT'S A HOUSE CLEANUP, BUT OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, THAT THERE'S BEEN TALK BY THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY FOR SOME TYPE OF SIGNAGE AND SO, IF HE WANTED ANY P TYPE OF WELCOMING SIGNING, HE REQUIRES THIS TYPE OF ZONING BECAUSE THE MARINE ZONING DOES NOT ALLOW FOR ANY OFF-SITE
SIGNAGE. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: MR. BURDGE YOU HAVE SOME INFORMATION REGARDING THIS
MARKER? >> THERE'S SOMETHING UP THERE, THAT IS JOIN WOULD A CHURCH. I COULD SUGGEST, THAT WE COULD PROBABLY APPROVE TODAY, AND I WOULD ASK THE STAFF TO FOLLOWUP TO SEE IF I'M RIGHT OR WRONG, I COULD BE WRONG. I'VE SEEN SOMETHING UP THERE REGARDS TO THAT, I REMEMBER IT BEING
TOWARDS THIS ONE. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: INTERESTING, I'VE GONE BY THERE, IN FACT, I WENT BY THERE JUST
THIS MORNING. >> UNLESS SOMEBODY'S REMOVED
IT. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT I EVER NOTICED A MARKER THERE.
>> THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY COULD HAVE REMOVED IT.
>> MARIA, OUR HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER WOULD HAVE RECORD OF ANYTHING DESIGNATED. SO, WHEN WE GET BACK TO THE
OFFICE, WE COULD LOOK. >> I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S BEEN DESIGNATED BUT IT COULD SORT OF BE A MARKER THERE. IT'S SORT OF LIKE IF SOMEONE HAD A GAVESTONE. IT'S ON A POLE, IT WAS ON A POLE
[00:15:02]
AND IT WAS AT LEAST AS BIG AS MY HANDS TOGETHER.>> THERE ARE QUITE A FEW SIGNS, SO WE'LL TAKE A LOOK.
>> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: THAT THERE IS. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE. YOU'LL LET US KNOW, MAY BE, NEXT MEETING, PERHAPS, HOW THAT ALL SHOOK OUT. I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW.
I'LL HAVE TO WALK THAT AREA RATHER THAN DRIVE PASSED IT.
BECAUSE, LIKE YOU SAY, YOU GO DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO BE LOOKING AT TOO MUCH OF ANYTHING. OKAY.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? >> NOT HEARING ANY. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING, ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK TO THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING AND COME BACK TO BOARD ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
>> THERE'S ACTUALLY A PLAQUE. >> WHEN YOU LOOK AT GOOGLE
MAPS. >> IT'S THERE TODAY, RIGHT?
>> YES, IT'S NEXT TO THE FORT PIERCE SIGN WHERE LIKE IT GIVES YOU ALL THE DETAILS OF WHAT'S THERE.
>> OKAY. >> CAN YOU TUNE IN ON IT?
>> IT DOESN'T HAVE THE DETAILS, THEY'RE BLURRED.
>> YOU CAN PULL IT UP ON THE SCREEN.
>> I WASN'T WRONG. MEAN IT'S... CREYAUFMILLER: I -
>> DID YOU JUST GO TO GOOGLE MAPS? .
>> YES. IT'S RIGHT ON THE CORNER WHERE THE DRIVEWAY LETS
OUT. >> I DON'T HAVE GOOGLE EARTH.
>> SO, I WOULD HAVE DRIVEN, PARKED MY CAR AND WALKED.
>> WE'VE BEEN OUT THERE WITH THE OWNER A COUPLE OF TIMES AND I DID NOT NOTICE IT. THERE ARE QUITE A NUMBER OF SIGNS SO....
>> I THINK RIGHT NEXT TO IT, IT BLENDS INTO IT.
>> THERE WE GO. IT'S NEAR SEAWAY DRIVE?
>> IT'S CLOSER TO THE ACTUAL SHOPPING CENTER.
>> YOU COULD SEE IT RIGHT THERE ON THE SHOPPING.
>> YOU GOT TO COME DOWN. >> LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS AMA AMAZING!
>> I DON'T THINK THAT'S ON THIS PROPERTY.
>> NO, IT'S NOT THIS PROPERTY. >> OH, IT'S THE SHOPPING
>> YES. >> THAT'S NOT ON THIS PARCEL.
>> YOU'LL SEE THERE ARE QUITE A NUMBER OF SIGNS RIGHT AT THE
INTERSECTION. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: NO
DOUBT. >> AND IF IT'S RIGHT HERE, IT'S NOT ON THAT PARCEL. THAT'S ON THE PLAZA.
>> SEE IF YOU COULD GET IT SO WE COULD READ IT, SEE IF I'M
RIGHT. >> ORIGINAL SITE, SO IT'S THAT WAS THE CHURCH SITE, BUT YEAH, THAT'S NOT ON -- THAT'S ON THE SHOPPING CENTER PLAZA, WHICH IS ON PUR, BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHY.
>> OKAY. LEARNED SOME HISTORY. >> LEARNED A TIDBIT OF HISTORY
THERE. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: ALL
RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? >> JUST SAVED ME 15 MINUTES.
>> THERE YOU GO. TECHNOLOGY. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER:
ANYTHING ELSE? >> I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
>> MOVE TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.
>> AGAIN WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR. BURDGE SECOND BY MS.
CLEMONS. CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE. >> MR. ALBURY?
>> YES, MA'AM. >> MS. CLEMONS?
>> YES, MA'AM. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: MOTION'S APPROVED. AND I THANK YOU YOUNGSTERS FOR DIGGING THAT STUFF UP WITH GOOGLE. WHEN COMPUTERS FIRST STARTED TO BECOME POPULAR IN SMALL BUSINESS, OF COURSE, I HAD TO JUMP INTO IT, BECAUSE I WAS FORCED BY MY EMPLOYEES. BUT I DECIDED REALLY QUICKLY, THE ONLY THING I WANTED TO KNOW IS WHAT COULD THE THING DO FOR ME. HOW YOU WENT ABOUT DOING IT, I WASN'T REALLY THAT INTERESTED. BECAUSE, I FIGURED I WOULD HIRE PEOPLE TO DO WHAT IT COULD DO. AND, I DID. AND I'M STILL KIND OF THAT WAY, ALTHOUGH, I CARRY THIS THING ONLY BECAUSE MY SON
[c. Site Plan and Conditional Use - Flagship Storage - Northeast corner of Jenkins and Okeechobee Road]
FORCED ME INTO IT. HE'S BIGGER THAN I AM. OKAY. NEXT ITEM OF[00:20:03]
BUSINESS, 6-C. MRS. HOFMEISTER WILL BE PRESENTING A SITE PLAN AND CONDITIONAL USE, FLAGSHIP SORAGE, NORTHEAST CORNER OFJENKINS AND OKEECHOBEE ROADS. >> MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, AS STATED THIS APPLICATION IS FOR CONDITIONAL USE THAT CONSISTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND SITE CRITERIA AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF JENKINS AND OKEECHOBEE ROAD. AS STATED, THE LOCATION OF THE SITE, THERE ARE TWO PARCELS TOTALLY APPROXIMATELY 4.73 ACRES. THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION IS GENERAL COMMERCIAL AND THE ZONING IS COMPATIBLE WITH OUR GENERAL COMMERCIAL OR C-3 ZONING DISTRICT. ADJACENT TO THE SITE, EVERYONE IS FAMILIAR WITH, IS WALGREEN'S, CHICK-FIL-A AND STARBUCKS WHICH YOU CAN ACCESS FROM OKEECHOBEE AND JENKINS ROAD. SHOWN ABOVE IS A COLORED RENDERING OF THE SITE AND WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED WHICH IS A 3-STORY STORAGE BUILDING WHICH WILL TOTAL 1,000 SQUARE FEET OF STORAGE. AND THERE'S ALSO COVERED BOAT AND RV PARKING PROPOSED FOR THE SITE. SHOWN ABOVE IS THE SITE PLAN WHICH PROVIDES FOR THE ACCESS TO THE SITE, THERE'LL BE, IT WILL BE SECURED WITH AN AUTOMATED GATE AND FENCING. AND THERE'LL BE ON-SITE OFFICE WITH EMPLOYEES THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE MONDAY-SATURDAY, CUSTOMERS WITH STORAGE UNITS THERE WILL HAVE ACCESS CODES AND WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS MONDAY-SATURDAY FROM 9-10:00 P.M. RIGHT HERE HERE IS THE REFUSE COLLECTION AVAILABLE ONLY FOR OFFICE USE. SHOWN ABOVE IS THE LANDSCAPE PLAN WHICH HAS AN ABUNDANCE OF PLANT MATERIAL, A TOTAL OF 95 TREES AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REMOVE, REPLACE AND MITIGATE PLANTS, TREES AND INSTALL IRRIGATION ON-SITE AND THE LIST OF THE PLANT MATERIAL WHICH IS ALSO ON THE PLANT SCHEDULE IS PROVIDED IN THE STAFF'S REPORT.
THE SLIDE ABOVE SHOWS FOR THE SITE CIRCULATION OF THE SITE BECAUSE I KNOW WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THIS JUST CIRCULATION WHEN IT COMES TO GAIT GATE ACCESS AND I WOULD LIKE TO DEFER TO THE APPLICANTS IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING THE SITE. THE APPLICANT PROVIDED ELEVATIONS AND COLOR RENDERINGS FOR THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE, WHAT THE CANOPY STORAGE FOR RVS, AND BOAT STORAGE WOULD LOOK LIKE. AS PART OF THE DESIGN REVIEW, THE ELEVATIONS AND MATERIAL BOARD ARE SHOWN ABOVE. THERE'LL BE FOUR COLORS PROPOSED FROM EARTH TONE NEUTRAL SCHEME ALL THE COLORS ARE HIGHLIGHTED WITH THE DARKER TONE ANCHORING THE DESIGN. THE ADDITIONAL MATERIALS THAT WILL FEATURE THIS BUILDING AND THE HEIGHT IS VARIED SO IT GIVES SOME INTEREST FROM THE ROAD. TRAFFIC ANALYSIS WAS PROVIDED AS PART OF THIS APPLICATION AND IT DETERMINED THAT THERE IS A CHANGE IN TRAFFIC, THAT WAS DETERMINED TO BE 236 TRIPS. THE ANALYSIS SHOWED THAT NO ADVERSE EFFECTS TO THE SURROUNDING ROADS WOULD RESULT FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT.
STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL WITH TWO CONDITIONS. YOU COULD SEE, I'VE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THOSE CONDITIONS BASED ON JUST THEY ARE OUR STANDARD CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AND YOU'LL SEE THEM ALSO WITH THE SUBSEQUENT REVIEW FOR THE SITE PLAN THAT'S COMING NEXT. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE ALL STANDARDIZED CONDITIONS. THE FIRST ONE WAS INADVERTENTLY LEFT OUT, WHICH I INCLUDED TO BE SURE THAT WHEN THEY DO COME IN FOR THE BUILDING PROCESS THAT THERE'S A LANDSCAPE PLAN AND A TREE MITIGATION PLAN. THE POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL WITH THE CONDITIONS FROM THE STAFF. RECOMMEND APPROVAL WITH CHANGES TO THE CONDITIONS OR DISAPPROVE THE PROPOSED CONDITION USE AND SITE PLAN AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY
[00:25:03]
QUESTIONS. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER:
QUESTIONS FOR MS. HOFMEISTER? >> YES. THE LOCATION IS GIVEN AS THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF JENKINS ROAROAD AND OKEECHOBEE.S THAT ACCURATE? BECAUSE YOU HAVE WALGREEN'S ON THE CORNER AND THEN YOU HAVE RACETRACK ON THE OP SITE CORNER AND YOU HAVE WAWA ACROSS THE STREET. WHAT IS THE LOCATION?
>> CURRENTLY, BOARD MEMBER JOHNSON-SCOTT, THERE'S NO ADDRESS. SO, IN SCRIBING IT, WE ONLY HAVE A PARCEL ID NUMBER RIGHT NOW AND IT WAS JUST A GENERAL DESCRIPTION SO PEOPLE KNOW WHERE IT'S LOCATED BYE THERE'S NO SPECIFIC ADDRESS RIGHT NOW. SO, WHEN YOU ARE AT THE INTERSECTION, IT WILL SHARE ACCESS WITH THOSE PROPERTIES BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO PARCELS RIGHT NOW, BUT ONLY THE WESTERN ONE IS ABLE TO BE DEVELOPED.
THE EASTERN PARCEL IS THE DRAINAGE FOR THE ENTIRE CORNER INCLUDING WALGREEN'S AND STARBUCKS AND CHICK-FIL-A. THEY ALL SHARE THE SAME DRAINAGE. IT WAS JUST A WAY THAT I DESCRIBED IT, BUT IF YOU ALL ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THAT, I WILL NOT DESCRIBE IT THAT WAY WHEN IT GOES TO CITY COMMISSION, BUT I'LL DESCRIBE IT AS A PARCEL. IT'S JUST A WAY TO GET THE
BOUNDARIES. >> SO THIS BUILDING IS NORTH OF
>> CLOSER TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL?
>> CORRECT. >> OKAY. IT IS JUST SOUTH OF
IT. >> I WAS GOING TO SAY, IT'S AN
APARTMENT COMPLEX BETWEEN THAT. >> IT'S JUST THE WAY THAT I DESCRIBED IT, BUT IT'S NOT ANYTHING OFFICIAL.
>> CLOSE TO CENTER SECTION. >> YES, THANK YOU, MR. BURDGE.
>> I THINK IT'S AN APARTMENT COMPLEX AND IT'S A PRETTY GOOD
SIZED ONE. >> CHAIRMAN, MAY I?
>> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: YES. >> IT'S CLOSER TO THE WALGREEN'S THAN SAMUEL GAINS, BECAUSE THERE ARE ESTATE HOMES, SO, IT'S STILL CLOSER TO THE COMMERCIAL PLAZA.
>> AND THEY SHARE THE DRAINAGE. >> MY CONCERN IS NOT THE DRAINAGE BUT THE MORNING TRAFFIC. HOW DOES THAT WORK WITH THE SCHOOL TRAFFIC AND THE KIDS WALKING.
>> OH, I SEE WERE YOUR GETTING. OKAY. IF I MAY, BOARD MEMBER, AND CHAIRMAN, WHEN THE APPLICANT COMES UP, I WOULD LIKE TO DEFER THE TRAFFIC QUESTIONS TO HIM. HE'S A CIVIL ENGINEER AND HE'S
HERE. >> MY COMMENT WOULD BE IS THAT, I LOOK AT THIS, THE CITY HAS APPROVED AN ABUNDANCE OF DEVELOPMENT IN THAT CORRIDOR OUT THERE AND HAS CONSISTENTLY BROUGHT UP REGARDING TRAFFIC AND CUEING AND A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT ISSUES, OF COURSE, RELATED TO THE SCHOOL AS WELL.
HOWEVER, I LOOK AT THIS DEVELOPMENT AS A LOW-INTENSITY INFILL PIECE THAT CANDIDLY I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OF IN THAT CORRIDOR, I THINK THE TRIP COUNT PER DAY IS ONLY 236 VERSUS PUTTING IN SOME TYPE OF RETAIL DEVELOPMENT WHICH WOULD BE HUNDREDS IF NOT POTENTIAL SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF TRIPS PER DAY. I KNOW MEETING AFTER MEETING, WE'RE APPROVING RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OUT IN THAT AREA. SO, I THINK THIS IS A GOOD USE FOR THIS PARTICULAR LOT. PROBABLY IN MY OPINION, THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE ON HOW THESE CONDITIONS ARE MITIGATED. I THINK IT'S A GOOD AREA FOR
THAT. >> AND WHEN IT COMES TO STORAGE, WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF THAT, AND IT'S BASED ON DEMAND AND THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT RESIDENTIAL HOUSING THAT HAS COME ALONG IN THAT AREA. SO, THE OWNER DOES SEE IT BEING A NEED. IT'S HELPFUL THAT THE SITE AND THOSE TO THE SOUTH DO SHARE ACCESS, THERE'S CROSS ACCESS ON THOSE. SO, IT DOES ALSO HELP WITH THE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION.
>> THE 5TH AND 6TH, ONE OF THESE RVS, THENILL BE THE RV STORAGE CAPITAL OF FLORIDA.
>> THAT'S WHY WE PAY PARTICULARLY ATTENTION TO THE
[00:30:04]
DESIGN. >> THEY'RE DONE AND THEY FALL.
>> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: MS. CLEMONS? I THOUGHT YOU WERE WAGGING YOUR FINGER AT ME. I WOULD LIKE THE APPLICANT TO COME UP, AND I'LL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING AND WE'LL
START WITH THE APPLICANT. >> FOR THE RECORD, BRAD CURRY
WITH EDC. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: THERE ARE CERTAINLY TWO OF YOU HERE, AND ARE YOU WITH ANOTHER
>> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: OKAY, GO AHEAD, BRAD.
>> REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT, BRAD CURRY. AS BOARD MEMBER BRODERICK SPOKE ABOUT, THE SUBSTORAGE USE IS A LOWER GENERATED STORAGES THERE ARE. I GET 1 SELF-STORAGE CALL A DAY AT MY OFFICE, EVERYBODY WANTS TO DO IT THESE DAYS. WE HAVE THIS CLIENT DOING THIS ONE IS DOING ONE ON U.S. LAWN AS WELL. THESE FACILITIES ARE AROUND 100,000 SQUARE FEET COME PRIZED OF THREE DIFFERENT USES, AC STORAGE, SINGLE STORY DRIVE-UP WITH A DOOR THAT'S NOT AC STORAGE, AND THEN, TYPICALLY SOME SORT OF COVERED OUTDOOR BOAT AND RV STORAGE. THOSE ARE THE THREE COMPONENTS THAT WE'RE SEEING CONSISTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE STORAGE FACILITIES THAT ARE PROPOSED THESE DAYS. WE'RE NOT CHANGING ANY OF THE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION, THE ROADWAY THERE NOW NORTH OF WALGREEN'S WOULD BE USED AS OUR ACCESS AS WELL.
WE'RE NOT ADDING ADDITIONAL ACCESS POINTS ONTO JENKINS ROAD AND THIS IS A SECURED FACILITY WITH ONE GATED ENTRY AND EXIT.
AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE, AS FAR AS WHAT COULD GO ON THIS PROPERTY, THIS IS A C 3 ZONING, THIS IS A LOW GENERATOR FOR THIS AREA, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS. >> THE SERVICE ROADS THAT PARALLELS JENKINS ROAD TO THE NORTH WILL BE THE ACCESS FOR YOUR ACCESS EDEGREES AND OLYMPIC
P. >> IT APPEARS THERE ARE EMPTY
PARCELS TO THE NORTH. >> ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT I'M NOT AWARE OF. ANYTHING FURTHER EAST.
>> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: I'M LOOKING AT AN AERIAL THAT CAME OFF OF THE COUNTY'S SITE, AS PART OF OUR PACKAGE THAT'S SHOWING, THERE WERE TWO PHOTOGRAPHS, ONE... OKAY, THIS IS A GOOD DRAWING. THE REDLINES GOING AROUND THE CHICK-FIL-A, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S AN EMPTY PARCEL BETWEEN THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE SPEAKING TO AND CHICK-FIL-A.
>> THAT WAS JUST THE WAY I PUT THE RECTANGLE ON THE SLIDE.
>> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: SO WHAT IS THAT GRASSY AREA?
>> THAT'S THEIR LANDSCAPING. IT'S AN ISLAND.
>> IF I MAY, JUST TO THE EAST OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. SO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY HAS THE COLORED RENDERING THAT YOU SEE AND TO THE EAST OF THAT IS THE SHARED STORM AREA. IF YOU'RE SPEAKING
OF THAT AREA. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER:
THAT'S SOUTH. >> THAT'S ALL PART OF THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER SOUTH. THAT'S SOUTH. THAT'S PART OF THE
LANDSCAPE BUFFER. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER:
OKAY. >> THE RED LINES AROUND SHOWING. THE ACTUAL PROPERTY LINES, THEY'RE IDENTIFYING.
>> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: >> GOSH, IT'S ON THESE. THIS
IS OPEN SPACE. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: ANY
OTHER QUESTIONS? >> WHILE YOU HAVE THIS PHOTO UP, THE CURB CUT COMING INTO MAY BE YOU COULD EXPLAIN THE TRAFFIC FLOW QUICKLY FOR ME. THE CURB CUT COMING INTO WALGREEN'S,
>> ARE YOU SHARING THAT CURB CUT?
>> YES, SIR. >> SO THAT'S YOUR ACCESS?
>> SO, WE HAVE THE EXISTING ACCESS TO THE NORTH AS WELL.
SO, THE TWO ACCESS POINTS TO USE TO ACCESS THIS FACILITY ARE
EXISTING. >> I SEEM TO RECCOL RECOLLECT.
[00:35:51]
>> NOT SEEING ANYONE ELSE TO SPEAK, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING AND COME BACK TO THE BOARD.
QUESTIONSIOUS COMMENTS? NOT HEARING ANY, I'LL ENTERTAIN A
MOTION. >> I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
>> SECOND. >> WITH CONDITIONS AS DETAILED.
>> WITH CONDITIONS. >> OKAY. MR. BRODERICK?
MOTION? >> MOTION TO APPROVE WITH
CONDITIONS AS OUTLINES. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: WITH CONDITIONS. AND SECONDED WHY MS. CLEMONS.

>> YES, MA'AM. >> MS. CLEMONS?
[d. Site Plan - Oleander Oaks - 2433-144-0002-000-3]
>> NEXT ITEM OF BUSINESS IS 6-D, SITE PLAN FOR OLEANDER
OAKS, AT 2433-144-0002-000-3. >>> MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, YOU ALL RECALL THIS ITEM WAS BEFORE THIS BOARD IN OCTOBER, I BELIEVE THE 11TH OF OCTOBER FOR THE PLANED DEVELOPMENT FOR OLEANDER OAKS. AND THE PLAT AND THE SITE PLAN. AT THAT TIME, YOU ALL DID APPROVE THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OR RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, AND THE PRELIMINARY PLAT TO GO FORWARD TO CITY COMMISSION BUT YOU ASKED THAT THE SITE PLAN BE TABLED TO BETTER ADDRESS THE BUS STOP LOCATION WHICH HAS TAKEN US SOME TIME AND HAS INVOLVED THE APPLICANT, THE SCHOOL BOARD STAFF, MARTY, AND DAVID HAYES WITH THE COUNTY. THIS IS WEST OF OLEANDER, AND NORTH OF CLING ROAD. THE FUTURE LAND DESIGNATION IS MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL OR RM AND OPPOSED IS PD BUT WILL MAINTAIN AN R 4 AS AN UNDERLYING SHOULD THE DEVELOPMENT NOT GO FORWARD.
JUST TO BRING YOU ANOTHER QUICK GLANCE AT IT. AND THE SUMMARY OF THE APPLICATIONS AS I STATED PREVIOUSLY. SHOWN ABOVE IS THE REVISED SITE PLAN WITH THE NEW SCHOOL BUS ROUTE PLAN AND HOW IT EFFECTED THE SITE. SO, AS YOU COULD SEE, AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE WHO DESIGNED THIS ENTRANCE SO, AFTER MY PRESENTATION, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET INTO FURTHER DETAIL, I WOULD DEFER TO THE APPLICANT. BUT, AS YOU COULD SEE, THERE'S NOW SUFFICIENT TURN AROUND FOR THE BUS PRIOR TO GETTING INTO THE GATED COMMUNITY. AND THERE HAVE BEEN ALSO SOME REVISIONS TO THE AMENITY SECTION WHICH I BELIEVE YOU ALL WILL BE PLEASED WITH.
SO, IN DETAIL, THIS IS THE CLOSE-UP OF THE ENTRANCE AND AS YOU COULD SEE, IT TOOK SOME GOING INTO THE DEVELOPMENT EFFECTING LOT 33 AS YOU COULD SEE, NOW, IT IS NO LONGER HERE.
IT HAS BEEN RELOCATED. SO, THE NUMBER OF UNITS HAS NOT CHANGED, IT'S STILL 50. SO, WHAT HAS HAPPENED NOW, THE SITE HAS RELOCATED THE UNIT 50 TO THE AREA WHERE THE AMENITY CENTER WAS WHICH DID NOT INCLUDE A POOL AT THAT TIME, BUT IT NOW DOES.
SO, THERE'S ACTUALLY A COMMUNITY POOL. IT HAS GRILLING STATIONS PRIOR TO OUTDOOR SEATING, THEY'RE MAINTAINING THAT IN THE TOP LOT BUT NOW THEY HAVE AN OUTDOOR FITNESS CENTER WITH THE
[00:40:02]
POOL AREA AND AS YOU COULD SEE, UNIT 50 IS NOW JUST TO THE WEST OF THAT. SO, RIGHT AROUND THAT TURN REVISED LANDSCAPE PLAN AS SHOWN ABOVE THERE ARE SOME MINOR CHANGES BUT NECESSARY DUE TO THE RELOCATION OF THE ONE UNIT 50 AND ALSO TO THE ENTRANCE. SO, MORE LANDSCAPING MATERIAL HAS BEEN PROVIDED IN THIS ISLAND IF YOU COULD CALL IT THAT, AND THEN ALSO SOME CHANGES HERE, I BELIEVE THERE WAS ONE TREE THAT WAS REMOVED BUT OTHER SHRUBS AND OTHER TYPES OF MATERIAL HAVE BEEN PLACED IN THAT AREA. THE REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT WAS NECESSARY DUE TO THE CHANGES IN THE UNITS AND ALSO THE ENTRANCE. SO AS PART OF THIS RECOMMENDATION, YOU'RE PART WILL HAVE TO BE TO REVIEW AND PROVIDE ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION, NOT ONLY TO THE SITE PLAN BUT ALSO TO THE REVISED PLAT. AND THESE ARE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT STANDARDS FOR REVIEW. AND STAFF'S CONDITION OF APPROVAL WHICH IS OUR STANDARD CONDITION THAT READS FINAL PLAT APPROVAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS MUST BE OBTAINED PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A FINAL BUILDING PERMIT FOR THE UPDATING OF THE SITE. THE SAME CONDITIONS IMPOSED PREVIOUSLY HAVE ALSO SHOWN WITH A REVISION TO THE WORDING TO CREATE THIS STANDARDIZED CONDITION WHEN IT COMES TO ASSERTFIED LETTER OF COMPLETION. SO ALL OF OUR AMOUNT INDICATIONS FOR A SITE PLAN WILL HAVE THIS CONDITION READ THIS WAY. THE POSSIBLE ACTIONS WILL BE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REVISED SITE PLAN AND THE REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT WITH THE CONDITIONS AS STATES BY STAFF OR TO RECOMMEND IT WITH CHANGES OR DISAPPROVE.>> I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL AS THE
APPLICANT. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: BEFORE I OPEN THIS UP TO THE BOARD, I'M SURE YOU HAVE A COPY OF THIS, YOUR NAME IS ON IT. I FOUND IT HERE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, TODAY WHEN I CAME IN. IT DOES NOT SURPRISE ME. I RECALLED A DIRT ROAD RUNNING BEHIND THE PROPERTIES TO THE WEST OF THIS SITE AND IN FACT, I THINK, I ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT THE LAST TIME THIS WAS BEFORE US AND I BELIEVE MR. ALBURY DID AS WELL. YOU MUST HAVE PLAYED OUT IN THAT AREA OR SOMETHING WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG TO KNOW THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY THERE. OR MAY BE IT WAS GOOGLE MAPS. DO YOU HAVE
ANY COMMENTS CONCERNING THIS? >> IF I MAY, CHAIRMAN AND BOARD MEMBERS, THIS MORNING WHEN I CAME INTO THE OFFICE, I ALSO RECEIVED THAT, AND I DID LET THE APPLICANT GET A COPY OF IT, IT'S FROM ONE OF THE RESIDENTS BECAUSE OF A PROPERTY LOCATED WEST OF OLEANDER OBSERVATION, ALL THAT AREAS IN THE COUNTY.
APPARENTLY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO OR MORE, THERE WAS REQUEST TO ABANDON THAT IMPROVED ROADWAY, I THINK IT'S POINSETTIA THAT'S DUE WEST OF OLEANDER OAKS NOT IN THAT PLAT AREA. THE WOMAN WHO WROTE THAT LETTER, IS CONCERNED THAT WITH THIS PRELIMINARY PLAT THERE'S NO IMPACT ON THIS EASE PAL. I BROUGHT THAT TO THE ATTENTION TO OUR APPLICANT WHOSE DONE RESEARCH ON IT AND AS PART OF THEIR TITLE OF RESEARCH, THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING AND HE
STANDS BY THAT AS WELL. >> OKAY. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT, AND SO THAT OUR BOARD IS MORE FAMILIAR WITH THAT, THERE WAS A DIRT ROAD THAT RAN BEHIND THE PROPERTIES IMMEDIATELY TO THE WEST OF THIS PROPERTY AND AT SOME POINT IN 1999, 2019, RATHER, FINALIZED WAS AN ABANDONMENT OF THE COUNTY TO SHARE PROPERTY OWNERS ALONG THAT STRETCH OF DIRT ROAD WHEREBY THE DIRT ROAD WAS TURNED OVER IN ABANDONMENT TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND ADDED TO THE BACK OF THEIR PROPERTY. THERE WAS AN FPNL EASEMENT ON THAT DIRT ROAD AS WELL THAT IS CITED IN THIS DOCUMENTATION. AND WHEN I REVIEWED IT AND LOOKED AT THE DRAWINGS, I SAW CLEARLY THAT ALL OF THIS IS OUTSIDE OF THE MARKED AREA THAT WE'RE SEEING. SO, IT'S BEEN PRETTY MUCH HANDLED.
BUT, I THANK THE HOMEOWNER THAT BROUGHT THIS TO OUR ATTENTION I
[00:45:03]
THINK WE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT SOONER. SOMETIMES THIS KIND OF THING DOESN'T SHOW UP IN A QUICK SEARCH OF PROPERTY TITLES.I MYSELF, HAVE REQUESTED ABANDONMENT OF A ROAD ON ONE OF MY PROPERTIES A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO. WHEN I TRIED TO SELL THE PROPERTY, IT STILL SHOWED THAT IT WAS OWNED BY THE COUNTY BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY PART OF MY PROPERTY. IT BECAME A REAL PROBLEM TO GO BACK INTO OLD DOCUMENTS AND FIND EVERYTHING THAT WE NEEDED TO FIND. SO, I'M GLAD IT CAME BEFORE US. I'M GLAD THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF IT AND I WILL OPEN TO THE PUBLIC PORTION. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS?
>> COULD YOU PLEASE PUT UP ON THE SCREEN THE EQUIVALENT OF PAGE 6 OF THE DESIGN AND GUIDELINES, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE
THE NEW ONE. >> I DO NOT HAVE THE PREVIOUS.
IS IT JUST THE REVIEW CRITERIA? >>
>> I'M SORRY, BOARD MEMBER BAKER, WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?
THE SITE PLAN? >> PAGE 5 OF THE PROPOSAL REFERS TO THE PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PLAPLANNED DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES. THIS IS FROM THE PREVIOUS, OCTOBER?
>> NO, THE CURRENT ONE. THE CURRENT ONE PAGE 5.
>> ON THE PACKET? >> FROM THE PACKET.
>> WOULD IT BE IN THIS ROLL? >> WELL, I CAN FIND IT. I MAP, BECAUSE I HAVE THIS. THIS IS PROBABLY WHAT IT IS, BUT I HAVE
IT HIDDEN. >> IS THIS ANYTHING?
>> THE PREVIOUS ONE FROM THE ORIGINAL ONE WAS PAGE 6. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE NEW ONE PLANNED DEVELDEVELOPMENT GUIDEL
PROVIDING COMMITTED USES. >> AND IF I MAY, CHAIRMAN AND BOARD MEMBERS, THE REASON I DID NT GO BACK INTO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES IS THAT YOU ALREADY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL ON THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. AND AS I WAS INSTRUCTED AT THE PREVIOUSLY MEET TING WAS TO BRI THIS BACK ONLY TO REVIEW THE BUS
STOP ISSUE. >> MY PROBLEM IS ON PAGE 6, OF THE CURRENT APPLICATION UNDER RESPONSE NUMBER 27, SINGLE FAMILY HOMES WILL BE THE ONLY USE PERMITTED, VACATION RENTALS WOULD FOLLOW CITY OF FORT PIERCE LAWS AND GUIDELINES. ON THE ORIGINAL DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES WHICH WERE APPROVED, IT SAID, NO VACATION RENTALS ARE PERMITTED. NOW, I WOULD LIKE TO
UNDERSTAND WHICH ONE IS IT? >> IF I MAY, CHAIRMAN, THAT IS RELATED TO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS THAT ARE PART OF THE ORDINANCE THAT IS MOVING FORWARD FOR THE REZONING.
SO, THAT'S NOT PART OF THIS APPLICATION AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED. SO, AS PART OF THAT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REZONING, THE APPLICANT IMPOSED CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS PART OF THAT ORDINANCE, PROHIBITING VACATION RENTALS FOR THE COMMUNITY.
>> THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. BUT THE CURRENT ONE, THE RESPONSE SAYS, SINGLE FAMILY HOME WOULD BE THE ONLY USE PERMITTED, VACATION RENTALS WOULD FOLLOW CITY OF FORT PIERCE LAWS AND
GUIDELINES. >> WHERE IS THAT LOCATED?
>> ON PAGE 5. >> OF THE APPLICATION?
>> YES. >> WHERE IT HAS ALL THE
COMMENTS AND THE RESPONSES. >> IF I MAY, MAY I DEFER TO THE
APPLICANT ON THIS? >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: I'LL A ALLOW THAT. AND I'LL ASK THE APPLICANT TO COME TO THE FRONT NOW. I'M GOING TO DO WHAT I'VE DONE IN THE PAST ONCE OR TWICE AND IF THERE'S NO FURTHER COMMENTS FROM ANYONE NOT HERE, SO, MAY BE YOU WANT TO JUST GO
AHEAD AND ADDRESS THIS. >> OF COURSE. I'M BLAINE FROM
[00:50:06]
KIMBERLY HORN REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT ON THIS. WHEN IT COMES TO VACATION HOME RENTALS, WE WEREN'T PLANNING ON HAVING THE VACATION RENTALS. THE CONDITION WHERE IT IS NOT PERMITTED, IS CORRECT. AND THAT'S HOW WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVEFORWARD. >> BUT YOUR RESPONSE IN 27 SAYS VACATION RENTALS WOULD FOLLOW CITY OF FORT PIERCE LAWS AND GUIDELINES. IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW VACATION RENTALS, WHY WOULD YOU PUT IN SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD BE FOLLOWING THE FORT
PIERCE GUIDELINES? >> I BELIEVE IT'S BECAUSE IT'S NUMBERED. ARE THOSE RESPONSED TO TRC COMMENTS, MA'AM?
>> YES. >> OKAY. SO, IF I MAY, CHAIRMAN AND BOARD MEMBERS, TRCS OUR TECHNICAL REVIEW. SO, WE MADE COMMENTS, ESPECIALLY DURING THAT TIME BECAUSE WE WERE JUST GOING THROUGH A VACATION RENTAL EXERCISE AND CHANGING OUR CODE.
SO SO, THAT WAS A STANDARD COMMENT THAT SHOULD YOU GET, ARE YOU GOING TO ALLOW VACATION RENTALS, OR NOT, AND THERE WAS A RESPONSE, WHATEVER HAS COME ABOUT WAS THAT THE APPLICANT DOES NOT WANT VACATION RENTALS, THAT'S WHY IT'S PART OF THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REZONING.
>> IT WAS JUST CONFUSING TO ME TO SEE THAT.
>> I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND NOW. THAT'S PROBABLY WHY THE APPLICANT AND THE OWNER SPECIFIED THAT NOW ON THE PD REGULATIONS MAY BE JUST TO CLARIFY THAT.
>> THANK YOU. >> IS THERE GOING TO BE AN HOA
HERE? >> YES. THERE'LL BE AN HOA
6789 >> ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE THAT LANGUAGE IN THE HOA THAT WILL NOT ALLOW VACATION RENTALS IN THE HOA DOCUMENTS? BECAUSE IF YOU DO THAT, THEN ALL OF THIS IS JUST NOT NECESSARY. BECAUSE, I KNOW WHERE I LIVE, WE HAVE IT IN OUR HOA DOCUMENTS THAT VACATION RENTALS OF 6 MONTHS OR LESS ARE
NOT ALLOWED. >> YES, IT WILL BE IN THE HOA DOCUMENTS AND ANYTHING IN THOSE GUIDELINES BECOMES THE ZONING CODE SO THE HOALOGICAL HAVE TO PUT IT IN IT'S CODE AS WELL.
>> ARE YOU GOING TO RESTRICT THE RENTAL OF THE PROPERTY THAT THE OWNER HAS TO LIVE IN THE PROPERTY A YEAR BEFORE THEY RENT
IT. >> THIS IS BASICALLY A WAY TO ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM OF A LOT OF RENTAL PROPERTIES INSIDE OF A
NICE DEVELOPMENT. >> RIGHT. SO I'M NOT 100% SURE WHAT THE HOA WILL PUT INTO THEIR GUIDELINES, I KNOW WE'RE NOT PUTTING A RESTRICTION LIKE YOU JUST MENTIONED IN THE PD GUIDELINES, THAT'S UP TO THE HOA AS THEY TOOK OWNERSHIP FROM THE
DEVELOPER. >> ACTUALLY IT'S UP THE DEVELOPER BECAUSE THE DEVELOPER DRAWS UP THE DOCUMENTS.
>> THAT IS CORRECT, SO, THE DEVELOPER WILL BE THE ORIGINAL HOA ON HIS OWN, BUT ONCE IT'S 10ED TURNED OVER TO THE RESIDENTS, THEY CAN CHANGE ANY OF THE LANGUAGE IN THE HOA
DOCUMENTS. >> DO YOU ANTICIPATE THE CURRENT OWNER TO HAVE THAT TYPE OF LANGUAGE, OR DO YOU JUST NOT
>> I WOULD BE DEFINITELY STRONGLY RECOMMENDING IT, NOT NECESSARILY PUTTING IT IN STONE HERE, BUT I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND IT. BECAUSE IT JUST MAKES YOUR PROPERTY MORE VALUABLE TO THE HOMEOWNER NOT THE INVESTOR, BECAUSE THERE'S TOO MANY INVESTORS GOING ON RIGHT NOW. THERE ARE COMPANIES THAT COME IN AND BUY WHOLE 50, IF YOU HAVE 50, THEY'LL BY THE WHOLE THING FROM YOU AND TURN IT INTO A RENTAL PROPERTY BEFORE IT'S DEVELOPED. AND I DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT HAPPENING BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO END UP WITH RENTAL PROPERTIES INSTEAD
OF HOMEOWNER PROPERTIES. >> THE CIVIL ENGINEER. I
REPRESENT THE CLIENT. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: SO, THIS IS REALLY OUT OF YOUR PURVIEW OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR
THE APPLICANT AT ANY RATE. >> ARE ALL HOMES THE SAME
SQUARE FOOTAGE? >> I BELIEVE WE HAVE THREE DIFFERENT MODELS AND THEY'RE ALL SIMILAR SQUARE FOOTAGES.
>> THEY'RE ALL 3-BEDROOM 2 BATH, THERE'S NO 4 BEDROOMS, TWO-BATH IN HERE? THIS IS THE DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS AND THEY
ALL A3-BEDROOM 2-BATH. >> THEN, THAT IS CORRECT, THERE'LL BE THREE-BEDROOM, TWO-BATH.
>> OKAY. SO WHAT IF THEY COME IN TOMORROW AND SAY, WE WOULD LIKE TO DO FOUR-BEDROOMS, OR 2 STORY BEDROOMS, INSTEAD OF ALL
OF THESE SINGLE STORIES. >> IT WOULD BE EITHER CONSIDERED A MINOR AMENDMENT OR A MAJOR.
[00:55:02]
>> I SEE ONE THING, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I FIND IT UNUSUAL THAT THE WHOLE DEVELOPMENT WILL BE THREE-BEDROOM, TWO-BATH. THAT'S NOT A VARIATION AS FAR AS THE ELEVATIONS ARE CONCERNED OF THE FRONTAGE, BUT NOT AS FAR AS THE PROPERTY ITSELF BECAUSE THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE SAME SIZED SQUARE FOOTAGE, I FIND THAT UNUSUAL THAT A DEVELOPMENT WOULDN'T WANT A VARIETY OF HOMES WITHIN THE PROPERTY ITSELF. BUT THAT'S OKAY.
>> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
>> YES. I WOULD LIKE TO GET BACK TO THE REASON THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY COMING BACK TO THE PLANNING BOARD, AND THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE TURNING RADIUS OF THE BUS AND A SAFE SPOT FOR PICKUP AND DROPPOFF AND THE WEATHER PROTECTED AREA, POTENTIALLY FOR PICKUP OF STUDENTS, ET CETERA. CAN WE GET INFORMATION, A, HAS THIS ALL BEEN RESOLVED?
>> YES. AFTER THE FIRST MEETING WE BROUGHT IN THE ENGINEER AND DAVID HAYES WAS THERE AND WE GOT APPROVAL FROM BOTH MARTY AN DAVID APPROVED THIS.
>> WHEN WE ORIGINALLY CAME TO YOU GUYS, WE WERE PLANNING ON HAVING THE BUS PICK UPAREA IN THE COUNTY RIGHT-OF-WAY. AND THAT'S WHEN WE WENT BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND WE HAD A COUPLE MORE MEETINGS, SO OUR SOLUTION WAS BASED OFF OF THE COUNTY'S CRITERIA, AND AS YOU COULD SEE HERE, WE HAVE WHAT I WOULD SAY IS WHAT YOU WOULD SAYAL ROUND ABOUT IS AT THE ENTRANCE OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE SCREEN, THE BUS WILL COME OFF OLEANDER AVENUE. AND THE PICK UP WOULD BE THE THE CONCRETE PAD THERE THAT THE STUDENTS WILL WAIT AT AND BE PICKED UP AT. ALL THIS WOULD OCCUR BEFORE THE GATES.
>> SO, THE PICKUP IS INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD?
>> IT'S INSIDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD ON OUR PROPERTY.
>> SO, THE BUS AND THIS TURNING RAIDIOUS LOOKS SMALL ON THIS, BUT THAT'S SUFFICIENT TO HANDLE A BUS?
>> CORRECT. SHEET 304 IS CALLED SCHOOL BUS ROUTING PLAN AND IT SHOWS US RUNNING AN ACTUAL SCHOOL BUS THROUGH THERE
TO SHOW IT MEETS REQUIREMENTS. >> SO, THE STUDENT'S AREA IS
WHERE? . >> IT'S A LITTLE BIT HIGHER UP,
THE CONCRETE BUMPS OUT HERE. >> WHERE'S THE GATE?
>> BEHIND IT. >> SO, THE GATE ARE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE MOUSE WHERE THE ISLAND IS.
>> OH, I SEE. OKAY. >> AND IT HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN
OUR PACKET AS WELL. >> SO, THE TURN AROUND IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE BUSES AND THE GATES ARE FOR VEHICULAR
TRAFFIC ENTERING AND EXITING. >> IT WILL BE UTILIZED FOR THAT
AS WELL. >> AND JENNIFER, AND EVERYBODY IN THE COUNTY IS SIGNING OFF ON IT, AND GUYS ARE GOOD WITH IT?
>> WE'RE PAYING MORE ATTENTION TO THIS, WE IS JUST HAD ANOTHER SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN COME IN ON A PRELIMINARY ARE HE VIEW AND WE'VE TOLD THEM TO GET WITH MARTY AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE ENTRANCE BECAUSE THEY WANT IT TO BE GATED AS WELL AND THIS IS
COMING UP OFF OF EDWARDS. >> I THINK THIS IS A GOOD SOLUTION TO KEEP THE BUS SAFE AND KEEP EVERYBODY IN A PROTECTED AREA. THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING IT. IT WAS A CONCERN AND YOU GUYS CERTAINLY HAVE STEPPED UP TO SATISFY IT. SO,
THANK YOU. >> BEING THAT THIS BUS STOP WAS A HOTSPOT ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS CONCERNING
IT? >> YES. AND I UNDERSTAND THE ASPECT THAT YOU'VE TAKEN CARE OF THIS PART OF IT. NOW, WHAT ARE YOU GOING DO WITH THE RESIDENTS WHO'LL BE BRINGING THEIR CHILDREN IN THEIR CAR AND PARKING UNTIL THE BUS PICKS UP THE CHILD? WILL YOU PUT UP NO-PARKING ZONES IN THAT CIRCLE, BECAUSE I'LL TELL YOU IT WILL HAPPEN. IT HAPPENS IN THE RESIDENTS THAT I LIVE IN AND IT WILL HAPPEN THAT THE PARENTS WILL BE SITTING IN THE ROUND ABOUT UNLESS SOMEBODY DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT, WHETHER IT BE SIGNAGE OR WHATEVER, OR THERE'LL BE INSIDE THE DEVELOPMENT ITSELF, PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, OR POTENTIALLY THEY WILL BE ON
[01:00:03]
OLEANDER AVENUE. >> WE CAN'T PLAN FOR WHAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DO, I UNDERSTAND. I THINK THE MOST REALISTIC SITUATION IS YOUR RIGHT, THERE MIGHT BE SOME PEOPLE WHO'LL PARK IN FRONT OF LOTS ONE AND TWO AND WAIT WITH THEIR KIDS TO SEE WHEN THE BUS COMES AND WALK THEM THERE.
>> BECAUSE THE BUS HAS TO GET AROUND THAT CIRCLE AND YOU CAN'T HAVE VEHICLES SITTING IN THE CIRCLE WAITING FOR THE BUS TO
COME. >> TYPICALLY WHAT I'VE SEEN AND WHAT WE'VE DONE IS PUT NO-PARKING SIGNS THERE BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT IT'S AN EMERGENCY ACCESS POINT AS WELL. SO, WE PROBABLY WILL ADD SIGNS THERE THAT SAY NO PARKING, IN FRONT OF
THE BUS STOP. >> I SEE THIS, SO, I KNOW. ON THE CREEK SIDE, THEY HAVE A MUCH BIGGER AREA THAT WERE I DEVELOP MINE IS A MUCH BIGGER YES OR NO, ALSO. THEY HAVE THIS TYPE OF SITUATION WHERE THEY HAVE APP ROUND ABOUT WHERE THE BUS CAN PICK THEM UP. AND THREE THRONE THERE'S A SIDE AREA, IT'S A THREE-RING CIRCUS. IT'S NOT THE OLD DAYS WHERE THE KIDS JUST SIT THERE, NOW, THEY'VE TO BE PROTECTED. YOU DID MAKE MENTION OF A COVERED AREA, YOU MENTIONED A CONCRETE AREA.
>> YEAH, ON OUR SITE PLAN RIGHT NOW, WE'RE SHOWING A CONCRETE PAD. I DO REMEMBER YOU BROUGHT UP THE POINT THAT WE WOULD BE OPEN TO PUTTING A SHELTER IN THERE SO, WE'RE FINE WITH ADDING
THAT AS A CONDITION. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: I DON'T THINK THE SCHOOL SYSTEM HAS RECOMMENDED SHELTERS?
>> YES. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: ANY
OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS? >> I NOTICED THAT ON LOTS 40, 42, AND 50, THOSE PARTICULAR HOMES HAVE MUCH LARGER DEPICTIONS. IS THAT BECAUSE OF THE ELEVATION THERE?
>> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: DID THAT ADD A SWIMMING POOL INTO THE AMENITIES AND THE EXERCISE -- OUTDOOR EXERCISE.
>> THERE WAS A COMMENT ABOUT NOT ALLOWING POOLS IN PEOPLE'S BACKYARDS, AND SO, IN DISCUSSING WITH STAFF, MOVING THE LOT FROM THE FRONT TO THE AMENITY AREA, WE TOOK AWAY GREEN SPACE SO WE ADDED A POOL TO ENHANCE THE AMENITIES BECAUSE OF THAT.
>> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: VERY GOOD. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS,
>> I HAVE A QUESTION. SINCE YOU ADDED A POOL, WILL THERE BE
A SHOWER AREA? >> YES. PER THE HEALTH CODE THERE HAS TO BE A SHOWER FOR EVERY POOL AND ALL THE PROPER
FENCING AND WHAT NOT. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER:
ANYTHING ELSE? >> I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION?
>> CHAIRMAN, I WOULD MOTION TO APPROVE SITE PLAN FOR OLEANDER OAKS WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM STAFF AND THE ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATION OF ADDING A COVERED SHELTER FOR THE
STUDENTS' WAITING AREA. >> SECOND.
>> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: MOTION BY MR. BRODERICK AND SECOND BY MS. BAKER. CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.
>> CHAIRMAN CRAYAUFMILLER? >> YES.
>> PEOPLE ARE SMART. IF THEY GET INTO THE MIDDLE OF BUS
[e. Preliminary Plat - Oleander Oaks - 2433-144-0002-0003]
ROUTE, THEY'RE GOING TO FIGURE OUT QUICK, THEY CAN'T PARKTHERE. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: OKAY, NEXT ITEM OF BUSINESS IS 6-E. AND THIS IS ALSO INVOLVING
YOU. >> I APOLOGIZE, WE HAVE ONE
MORTEM. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: PRELIMINARY PLAT OLEANDER OAKS. MS. HOFMEISTER.
>> SO, WITH REGARD TO THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, STAFF IS
[01:05:01]
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITION SHOWN ON THE SLIDE ABOVE AND IT'S OUR STANDARD CONDITION WITH REGARD TO PRELIMINARY PLATS. YOU WILL SEE THE PLAT AGAIN AS A FINALAGAIN. >> WELL, IT HAS TO COME BACK
>> DOES IT GO DIRECTLY? >> I TAKE THAT BACK, IT GOES DIRECTLY TO CITY COMMISSION, BUT THE PRELIMINARY PLAT MOVES ON TO
THE FINAL PLAT. >> YOU NEED APPROVAL ON THE
>> AND THEN THERE'S A PRELIMINARY PLAT HEARING BEFORE THE CITY COMMISSION AND THEN WE'LL SEE IT AGAIN AS A THE FINAL. AND THAT'S HOW OUR CODE READS.
>> DO YOU WANT A MOTION, FRANK? >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: ANY
QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? >> I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
>> MOTION TO APPROVAL WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS.
>> SECOND. >> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR. BRODERICK AND SECOND BY MS. BAKER.
>> CALL THE ROLL. >> MR. BURDGE?
>> YES. CHAIRMAN CRAYAUFMILLER?
>> YES, MA'AM. >> THANK YOU, VERY MUCH,
GETTING CLOSER ALL THE TIME. >> YES, A LITTLE BIT. THANK
[8. DIRECTOR'S REPORT]
YOU. >> COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC?
>> THERE'S NO PUBLIC. >> COMMENT FROM THE DIRECTOR.
>> I WANT TO WISH EVERYONE HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A HAPPY NEW
[9. BOARD COMMENTS]
YEAR. >> I HAVE COMMENTS. AND AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO WISH YOU ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR, I HOPE EVERYBODY STAYS SAFE AND SOBER. FURTHER THAN THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THIS BOARD FOR YOUR DEDICATION THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. WE HAVE AS A BOARD HAVE PROBABLY SEEN I THINK I'M PRETTY SAFE IN SAYING THAT WE'VE SEEN THIS YEAR SOME OF THE LARGEST PROJECTS THAT HAVE EVER COME ACROSS THIS DIAS FOR THIS BOARD. WHEN YOU HAVE THIS KIND OF GROWTH, WE ANTICIPATE ECONOMIC GROWTH AS WELL. AND I HOPE THAT WORKS OUT WELL FOR US ALL. ON THE OTHER HAND, I'M SAD TO SEE IT BECAUSE I REALLY KIND OF LIKE FORT PIERCE AS IT IS, AND I'M AT THE ANAL WHERE SOMETIMES I DON'T GET SO EXCITED ABOUT GROWTH. BUT IT'S A GOOD THING FOR YOUNG FOLKS LIKE YOU AND YOU.
>> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: AND YOU. AND YOU. WELL, BUT WE'VE BEEN VERY BUSY. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF BIG PROJECTS. THE COMMISSION HAS RELIED ON US, SOMETIMES, I'M SURE THAT ALL OF US HAVE THE OPINION THAT MAY BE THEY'RE NOT LISTENING. BUT, I DO KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THEY ARE. THERE HAVE PROBABLY BEEN MORE POSITIVE COMMENTS FROM VARIOUS COMMISSIONERS THIS YEAR THAN I HAVE EVER HEARD IN THE PAST ON THE WORK THAT THIS BOARD'S DONE AND YOU CAN CONGRATULATE YOURSELVES FOR THAT. THE DEDICATION THAT YOU SHOW WHEN WE CALL SPECIAL MEETINGS, WE'VE ONLY HAD ONE OR TWO THIS YEAR, BUT EVERYONE SHOWED UP FOR THE LAST SPECIAL MEETING AND YOU ARE TO BE COMMENDED FOR THAT AS WELL. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT FOR THE HARD WORK THAT Y'ALL HAVE DONE. ALL OF YOU HAVE DONE. AND WITHIN THE PAST FOUR TO FIVE MONTHS, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, AS A WHOLE HAS STEPPED IT UP WITH THE SHORTAGE OF PERSONNEL. AND JENNIFER, YOU HAVE JUST DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'VE KEPTED UP THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WITH THE SIZE OF THE PROJECTS AND WITH THE CONDITION SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS WERE IN WHEN YOU HAD TO TAKE THEM OVER. SOME OF YOU DON'T KNOW, BUT THERE WERE PROJECTS THAT PLANNERS WERE WORKING ON THAT WERE PRETTY DEEP INTO A COUPLE OF THESE LARGE PROJECTS AND WHEN THE SHAKE UP HAPPENED IN THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, JENNIFER HAD TO PICK UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE THINGS AND TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY HOURS YOU WORKED IN A WEEK OR HOW YOU MANAGED TO DO IT, BUT I KNOW IT WAS A LOT AND, THE CITY SHOULD REALLY GIVE YOU
[01:10:07]
A NOD OF THANKS FOR OF THE EFFORT AND HARD WORK THAT YOU PUT INTO IT. AND THIS BOARD SHOULD AS WELL. AND I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE DONE. AND BENSON, YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY THIS YEAR AS WELL. I DON'T KNOW IF SOME OF IT MAY HAVE BEEN THAT YOU HAD NO CHOICE BUT YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY THIS YEAR. AND DID VINCENT GET A PROMOTION? YOU DID, DIDN'T YOU? AND SO DID ALICIA. AND FOR SOME REASON I GLOSSED OVER IT AS IT HAPPENED BECAUSE I THINK WE WERE JUST SO BUSY WITH THESE BIG PROJECTS THAT MY FOCUS EVERY MONTH WAS ON THAT WHOLEAGENDA AND ALL THE PROJECTS. >> IF I MAY, PLANNING STAFF REALLY APPRECIATES THE WORK THAT YOU ALL DO BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS COME PREPARED. THERE ARE QUESTIONS, YOU'VE LOOKED AT EVERY ITEM IN THE PACKET, SO, I DO REALLY WANT TO APPRECIATE ALL THE TIME THAT YOU ALL DO, YOU ARE VOLUNTEERS AND YOU REALLY PUT YOUR HEARTS INTO IT. SO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL OF YOU COMING BACK NEXT YEAR READY TO ROCK-N-ROLL. AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEE EACH OTHER UNTIL NEXT YEAR. GOSH, ANOTHER YEAR FLASHING BEFORE ME. COUNTING DOWN.
>> I GET TO SEE THE STAFF TOMORROW.
>> CHAIRMAN CREYAUFMILLER: SO, WITH
