The public hearing was opened at 8:01 p.m. Mr. Lawrence Sear, 485 Georgia Boulevard, stated he lived directly behind the animal hospital.

SITE PLAN REVIEW - ADDITIONAL PARKING - HIGHLANDS ANIMAL HOSPITAL -433 FELLSMERE ROAD Staff stated there were two conditions they were recommending for approval of the parking lot addition which were 1) requirement of Unity of Title for the two lots, and 2) requirement of recording the marginal access easement. Mr. Randy Mosby, Mosby & Associates, Inc. represented the applicant's project engineer, Mr. John Dean. He stated the applicant was also looking for approval of the master site plan which included the building expansion at tonight's meeting. St. John's Water Management District had already approved the drainage plans. Normally only a 3 -foot hedge was required at time of planting but, the applicant had agreed to put in a 5 -foot hedge to accommodate the concerned residents. Mr. Barnes asked if drainage from the new parking lot would run off into the existing retention pond? Mr. Mosby stated no, it was a split drainage system. Drainage on the west side of the property would accommodate the new improvements, flowing out to CR -512. Ms. Brantmeyer questioned if the parking would be sufficient for an addition to the building? She noted that when classes were held at night, there was not enough parking. Mr. Jutras stated that was one reason for expanding the parking. The parking does meet the requirements for business hours. Mr. Munsart asked if an underground irrigation system was going to be put in? Mr. Mosby stated it would tie into the existing system. Mr. Pliska inquired if the whole lot was going to be clear cut or only the parking lot area? Mr. Mosby stated it would be done in phases, initially only what is needed for the parking lot, and later for the building expansion. Mr. Jutras stated if it was less PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE SEVEN REGULAR MEETING OF MARCH 7, 1996 expensive to have it cleared all at once, it may be done all at the same time. The rear landscape buffers would be put in if the whole lot is cleared. Staff suggested if the building expansion was going to be approved, floor plans and elevations should be approved by the Commission also. Mr. Frame stated the notices mailed out for the public hearing indicated it was for the additional parking only. If the building expansion was to be approved, additional notice may have to be re - mailed. Mr. Mosby asked for approval of the master stormwater system and proposed build out of the property. When the applicant was ready to expand, they would come before Planning and Zoning with the floor plans and elevations. Mr. Schulke made a motion to approve the site plan for additional parking for Highlands Animal Hospital, 433 Fellsmere Road, with the conditions that the applicant obtain a Unity of Title, have the proper easements recorded (Marginal Access Easement), and prior to getting a building permit for the building expansion they submit detailed building elevations to the Planning and Zoning Commission for approval to insure that the building fits on the footprint of the site plan. Site plan approved was done by John H. Dean & Associates, dated 1/3/96, Sheet 1 of 1, with revisions dated 2/21/96. Also, that the buffer in the rear will be 5 feet instead of 3 feet, and will be installed when the lot is cleared for the addition. Mr. Barnes seconded the motion. Roll call was taken. MR.

Mr. Straka stated Sandy Pines was a previous affordable housing development they had built in the Highlands. He continued, stating most of the houses were located in Unit 17, would be 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and approximately 1200 sq. feet in living area. The price range would be $75,000.00, and a Property Management company would be in charge of handling and maintaining the rental properties. A family of four would qualify if their annual income was under $26,000. Mr. Straka explained they had 15 year guarantees with the investors for the maintenance of the houses. The lenders reserve $425 a house for yearly upkeep. The Property Managers inspect the houses once a month. The Heritage Companies cannot sell the houses for 15 years and it is the intention to keep the residual value of the houses up by good maintenance. Ms. Kilkelly had concerns about maintaining the quality of the neighborhoods and questioned how fast the Sandy Pines homes had been rented out? ?00%\, City of Sebastian 1225 MAIN STREET o SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA 32958 TELEPHONE (407) 589-5330 o FAX (407) 589-5570 AGENDA PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1996 7:00 P.M. 1.
