Unanimous approval PUBLIC HEARING - COlVOmONAL USE PERMIT - NON-FOR-PROFIT CLUB IN PS ZONI~G DISTRICT - GIBSON STREET - KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS Randy Mosby with Mosby and Associates was present representing the applicant, and was sworn in according to quasi-judicial procedure. Mr. Mosby r~ewed the site plan as it relates to the Conditional Use. And he explained that this site meets the criteria required in PS Zoning, and he agrees with the condition set down by Masteller and Moler on this permit. He also verbally explored the surrounding zoning districts. There were 9 notices of hearing sent out and we received no objection letters in writing, or non- objections letters. Mr. Mastetler of Masteller of Moler introduced himself and noted that in a discussion with the City Man. er, it was determined that he or a representative of his firm will be attending P & Z meetings to talk about reports they submit, etc. He introduced Mike Oliver, also from his office, who is also a licensed Professional Engineer. Mr. Masteller expressed concern about the building setback, and didn't agree with the interpretation that Mr. Mosby put on the 1 O0 ii. requirement. He asked why, with so much property, didn~ they just move the building back? Mr. Mosby replied that they only have 10 or 15 ii. before they are in the wetlands. He also noted that the County is already making preparations to upgrade Gibson Street. Mr. Masteller noted that after discussion and looking at a map that was present, he felt that the 72 ii. setback would not be a problem when combined with a 35 ii. easement. Mr. W'flliams expressed difficulty in determining which City Code most resembled Rose 4, which is a County designation and was explained by Randy Mosby earlier in the meeting. A break was taken at 8:18 p.m. The meeting resumed at 8:30 p.m with all members present. W PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE SIX REGULAR MEETING OF MARCH 21, 1996 After discussion with Mr. Williams, it was determined that this Conditional Use Permit should not be turned down based on alcoholic sales by a Not -For -Profit Club. Mr. Masteller revisited the subject of the 72 ft. versus 100 ft. setback. After further scrutiny, he feels that the 35 ft. tax parcel cannot be used as part of the 100 ft. setback, as it is a tax parcel, and as such, provides a lot line at the 72 ft. point. The public hearing was opened at 8:35. Fred Mensing, 7580 129th Street, Sebastian P.O., and John Barnsworth 7805 Gibson Street were present and sworn in according to quasi-judicial procedure. Mr. Mensing is present, representing Mr. Hamilton Floyd who owns Lot 14, and the 35 ft. strip around Lot 16. Mr. Mensing has a petition signed by a number of property owners on 130th Street in the area affected by this Permit. The public hearing was closed at 8:41 p.m. Mr. Mosby called attention to a letter dated March 1, 1996 that he received from Masteller and Moler, drawing attention to paragraph 1 which says that no building shall be located closer than 100 ft. to any lot line which abuts the residential district. In summary, Mr. Mosby noted that the proposed building can be rotated to obtain 100 ft. from the property line. In answer to a question from Ms. Kilkelly on the hours of operation, Mr. Thomas Cox, representing the Knights of Columbus, who lives at 223 Blue Island West, Sebastian, was sworn in according to quasi-judicial procedure and explained the manner in which this Club would be used. MOTION be Johns/Munsart I make a motion that we grant a Conditional Use Permit for a Non -Profit -Club for the Knights of Columbia located on Lot 17 of the Berry Subdivision, based on meeting the 100 ft. setback which he has agreed to do. Roll call was taken. 7-0 motion carried. SITE PLAN REVIEW - KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS CLUBHOUSE - GIBSON STREET (130TH AVENUE) Mr. Masteller noted that the parking area indicated porous pavement, and pointed out that the activity level at this site would determine how well porous surface would hold up. It is indicated on the plans that this parking area may be paved in the future, but no time limit is noted, and it would be more /0011� difficult to pave it with activity already going on. He suggests paving it now and PLANNING ~ ZONING COMMISSION REGUL~ MEETING OF MARCH 21, 1996 PAGE SEVEN be done with it. Mr. Mosby expressed the great desire on the part of the applicants to be able to do the parking area paving at a later date because of economics - being a non-profit organization, and because the use of this site is minimal. Chairman Fischer asked for a consensus from the Board on the parking area. Mr. Johns - grass Mr. Schulke - pave now Ms. Kilkelly - grass Ms. Brantmeyer- grass Chmn. Fischer- grass Mr. Munsart - pave now Mr. Pliska - 50/50 4-3 for grass Mr. Pliska suggested a time table of 1 year to require the parking area pavement from the completion of the building or certificate of occupancy. Mr. Masteller suggested paving the access ways and leaving the actual parking spots ~rass. It would save money and he stated that he could live with that. MOTION by Johns/Munsart I make a motion that the approval of this site plan be deferred till April 4th. Roll call was taken. 7-0 motion carded. REQUEST FOR RECOMMENDATION OF SUPPORT - GRACE'S LANDING - LOUISIANA/PALMETTO AVENUES - ALEXANDRIA ENTERPRISES - AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ELDERLY CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN APPROVAL ' GRACE'S LANDING - SECTION 20A10.3.14 (Both of the above i.ssues were discussed together) Beth Carpenter, representing Grace's Landing Limited was present. She explained that she would be applying for tax credits, and a low interest loan. This project will be 70 units, it will be rental housing, and strictly for ages 62 and over. There are 56 one bedrooms at 752 sq. ii., and 14 two bedrooms 856 sq. ii. There will be a community building, Possibly providing art classes, low impact aerobics, music classes, etc., through the county, and on-site meal service is a possibility. County Council on Aging is willing to make this an additional bus stop. All contacts at the PLUG AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING OF MARCH 21. 1996 PAGE EIOHT County level have been very supportive. At least 50 developers are competing for $5 million. To qualify for these dollars, the application carries points, and one way to get additional points is to get pre 'luninary site plan approval by this Board. Ms. Carpenter then passed out a conceptual type letter for preliminary site plan approval, and a letter that relates to the zoning. MOTION by Johns/Brantmeyer I make a motion that we extend the meeting 15 minutes. A voice vote was taken. Unanimous approval. Ms. Carpenter explained that the application is due April 11, 1996 and she should have some response within 30 to 45 days. Mr. Frame commented that this is probably a very useful project, and there is a definite need for low to moderate income for the elderly. A revised drawing changes the "tot lot" to a shuffleboard court with seating. In answer to a question by Mr. Johns, Ms. Carpenter responded that the Fair Housing Act of 1988 states that if you are using specific government funds from government programs for the elderly, you are required to keep it to the elderly, which is 62 year of age of over. Qualifying income levels were discussed. MOTION by Brantmeyer/Kilkelly I move that we extend the meeting to another 20 minutes. A voice vote was taken. Unanimous approval. Density was discussed and Ms. Carpenter noted that going to medium density would not be economically feasible. Mr. Frame suggested that he redo the letter, changing some of the language to make sure that we are talking about the right kind of concept plan approval, and having it ready tomorrow for signature by the Board Chaimmn, and get it to Ms. Carpenter to submit. MOTION by Johns/Munsart So moved. A voice vote was taken. Unanimous approval. Mr. Johns motioned that we not cover the proposed amendments to the Sign Ordinance tonight, and go to the Vice Chairman.
