He noted that he has unity of title for the two lots and has done some clearing and grading in preparation for the shed. F, Q CL IT 93 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 2 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 20, 2017 In response to Mr. Roth's question about height he stated the building will be 11' 6". He explained that the garage doors will be on the longer side of the shed which will face Pleasantview Lane. He confirmed that the colors will match the house and that the gable will be on the side and not facing the road. He stated that there will be one main door and one window, the door will be on the side nearer his house and the window would be on the other side of the building to provide cross ventilation. Mr. Roth asked if he planned to do any for -hire work out of the building. Mr. Dabelow responded he did not; the building is for storage only. Mr. Qizilbash asked for details on the height of the building, its orientation and location. Mr. Dabelow responded that the 11' 6" is the peak height and provided details on the orientation of the building to the road. He stated that his plan is to install it behind the large Oak tree. Mr. Carter asked how many trees have been removed and how many are left. Mr. Dabelow provided a detailed count of the trees removed by species. He stated that there are more than 12 on the property and estimated there are closer to 18-20 left. Mr. Carter asked if there will be water and electric to the building. Mr. Dabelow responded not at this time, but possibly in the future he would look into running electric to it. Mr. Reyes asked how much fill will be needed. Mr. Dabelow responded he would like to have sufficient fill to elevate the slab about a foot. Ms. Bosworth stated that the driveway and drainage plans have been review by staff and approved. Mr. Reyes clarified that he is concerned that the height of the shed does not exceed the height of the house. Mr. Dabelow stated that the shed is well below the height of the house. Ms. Bosworth stated that the house is 16' and the shed is 11'6" so even with the fill, there is a good margin between the heights of the two structures. Ms. Kautenburg called for any further questions, hearing none she called for a motion. MOTION: by Reyes/McManus "I make a motion that we approve the Accessory Structure at 1518 Pleasantview Lane for the 682 SF shed as submitted." The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. 8. Public Input— None 9. New Business — None 10. Commissioners Matters Mr. Roth asked for an update on the suggestion of preparing a booklet containing the fishing village theme information. Ms. Bosworth responded she had not yet brought it to the City Manager's attention because the first meeting April was cancelled resulting a very full Agenda for their second meeting in April. She stated that she will discuss the PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 3 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 20, 2017 matter with him as to whether the Council would be in agreement with pursuing the project or not. Mr. Roth expressed his concern about there being no pedestrian crossing at the railroad on Barber Street. He stated that this poses a safety issue for people having to walk in the grass and get across the railroad tracks. He explained that this is an issue that has been pending for a number of years but seems to not get resolved. He stated that he plans to follow this through the process personally. He explained that with the Publix Shopping Center and Walgreens to the east of the tracks and the number of residential communities close by, it is essential something be done to improve the safety of the crossing. He expressed concern that if All Aboard Florida materializes it will be even more important. He stated that he was surprised that since the City shared the cost of the crossing improvements there was no mention of the pedestrian crossing. Ms. Bosworth stated that as she recalled the crossing improvement may have been a requirement of the 55+ apartments that were going to be built in that area, but the site plan has expired and the community won't be built. She stated that she will bring it to the City Manager's attention. Mr. McManus suggested that the Commission consider dedicating one meeting a month or every other month to the planning process to determine what could be done to better the City. 11. City Attorney Matters — None 12. Staff Matters — None 13. Items for Next Agenda — None 14. Adjourn Chairwoman Kautenburg called for any further business, hearing none she adjourned the meeting at 6:22 pm. /sm
