He would like to propose a site plan for a mini-storage facility if the Board decides to change the code to allow these types of facilities in the commercial general districts. The Board members were given a copy of the county's regulations regarding mini-storage facilities at the previous meeting, along with a letter from Mr. Philipson. He stated that Sebastian's codes address large warehouse-type storage facilities but not mini-warehouses. The Board discussed what they had gone over at the last meeting regarding these facilities, and thought Mr. Cooper was going to bring some suggestions back to them, particularly precautions for any riverfront property zoned CG. Mr. Barnes asked Mr. Philipson where he was proposing to build these mini-storage facilities? Mr. Philipson stated on property behind Prima Pizza off U.S.#1. The facility would be approximately 10,000 to 20,000 sq. feet. Mr. Goldstein asked Mr. Philipson if he would have any problems if say, the Board was t° adopt Indian River County's code for the city? Mr. Philipson stated that was what he was hoping for, and he would gladly use Plan B of the landscaping code for the buffer requirements. Mr. Fischer made a motion to defer the discussion until .next meeting when Mr. Cooper would be present. Mr. Munsart seconded the motion. Roll call was taken, 7-0 motion carried. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 15, 199~5 PAGE,FOUR SITE PLAN REVIEW - CHIP'S BOAT STORAGE - OLD DIXIE HIGHWAX Mr. Randy Mosby of Mosby & Associates, Inc. was representing the applicant, Mr. Carmine Libertino. Mr. Mosby indicated that he did receive a copy of the TRC report that included the adjusted landscaping requirements and had already submitted a revised site plan, and they have received a St. Johns River Water Management permit. Mr. Libertino has a similar project down the road in the county limits that has already been approved and built. Mr. Thompson questioned if the building to the north was also owned by Mr. Libertino. Mr. Mosby stated yes, it was leased and does have current tenants. Mr. Thompson stated he did not see on the plans any indications for a proposed well for irrigation water for the landscaping. Mr. Mosby stated the applicant was working with a landscaper to begin with drought-tolerant plants and have water brought in, or get the water from the building next door. The irrigation plans have not been finalized. He asked if that could be worked out with staff as part of an approval. Mr. Munsart questioned if a unity of title was needed to draw water off the adjacent lot? Ms. King stated it would be a deed of easement, which is perpetual even if the property is sold. Mr. Thompson suggested that a stop sign and stop bar be put onto the existing driveway to Old Dixie Highway. Mr. Schulke asked if the lot was losing two parking spots where the entrance driveway is going in? Mr. Mosby stated no, on the original site plan it was an open back-up space. Mr. Schulke also asked what the intent was going to be for this lot? Mr. Mosby stated boat storage and repairs. Mr. Goldstein asked Mr. Mosby if the turn radius coming out of the concrete pad and down towards the curb cut would be too tight for a boat on a trailer? Mr. Mosby stated there is a 24-foot turn in radius and feels with the infrequency of boats going out it shouldn't be a problem. Mr. Barnes made a motion to approve the site plan of Chip's Boat Storage on Old Dixie Highway with the condition that' the landscaping and irrigation be worked out at the staff level. Mr. Munsart seconded the motion. PLANNING AND ZQ~.I.~G COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 15, 1995 Mr. Thompson made an amendment to the motion to verify that the site plan being approved was Mosby & Associate's drawing number 95- 244, sheet C-1 and sheet C-2, as revised 6/12/95. Mr. Munsart .again seconded the motion. Roll call was taken on the amendment. 7-0 motion carried. Roll call was taken on the main motion. 7-0 site plan approved. RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL - PROPOSED MINOR SUBDIViSION REVIEW - J&W SUBDIVISION Mr. Randy Mosby was representing the applicants, Mr. Jerry Smith and Mr. Wayne Firito. The land to be subdivided into 3 lots is an approx. 1.22 acre tract, at the intersection of Main Street and Bob Circle. Mr. Mosby explained an original problem with lot i and its lot depth. Ms. King presented staff's findings on the overhead projector and explained two revisions they and the engineer thought would work, providing the required minimum 100' lot depth. Designating part of lot 1 as unbuildable was proposed and presented to the Board. Mr. Mosby stated a St. Johns Water Management District permit was not needed since all 3 lots border a paved street with an existing drainage system. Mr. Fischer questioned why the area was defined as "non-buildable" instead using a building setback line? Could the owner put a shed or garden in that area? A ',non-buildable" area is very restrictive. Mr. Mosby agreed, stating "setback line" would be more proper. Ms. King noted the proposed plat had both designations on it. Any type of str~ctu~e would not be able to get a permit behind the designated "setback" line, such as a pool, tennis courts, accessory structures, etc. Mr. Fischer and Mr. Goldstein both agreed that as long as a "setback line" met all requirements of the code, it was more agreeable to have that on the plat then "non-buildable area". Mr. Schulke asked if there was existing easements and if the consent for release had to be noted on the cover page of the proposed plat? Mr. Mosby stated yes, and that will come when the final plat is prepared. The plat was a single tract, and there were no existing easements. The surveyor should submit a letter verifying this. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR..M~TING OF JUNE 15, 1995 PA~E SIx Mr. Schulke also questioned if there should be a non-access or limited-access easement for the corner lot at the intersection of Bob Circle and Main Street. Ms. King stated driveways are dealt with at the building permit stage and there are code requirements .regarding placement of driveways on corner lots. Mr. Goldstein made a motion that the Planning and Zoning COmmission forward to City Council its recommendation for approval of the J&W Subdivision plat with the following change; that the area designated "non-buildable area" on Sheet 2 be changed to "building setback area". The drawing being approved was prepared 4/18/95 by James A. Fowler Land Surveying Co., sheet i of 2 revised 5/26/95, sheet 2 of 2 revised 6/15/95. Mr. Barnes seconded the motion. Roll call was taken. 7-0 motion approved. A recess was taken at 8:21 p.m. The meeting resumed at 8:39 p.m. and all members were present.
