Mr. Cooper explained that the application for Skydive Sebastian for overnight camping would
come under a special use permit. A survey of three other airports was taken.
Mr. Van Antwerp covered a brief history of the Sebastian Airport and its master plan. He
explained that FAA does not have a problem with camping at the airport as long as it is an
accessory use. He listed concerns to be addressed as: smoking, fire near airplanes - fueling,
parked, etc.,- mixing of vehicles and operating alrcrait, pedestrian traffic and aircrait operating
areas, security for the alrcrait that are parked on the ramp, security for other tenants and future
tenants of the airport.

P_LANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
~.GULAK MEETING OF JULY 6. 1995
FIVE
Mr. Cooper discussed security, outside public telephones, ample tent area, overnight stalls for
RVS, noise, proper identification of participants for record keeping.
Mr. Brian Barry of 166 Abeto Terrace asked if it was really appropriate to have camping on
airport property near expensive airplanes and their equipment.
Mr. Robert Pliska suggested a security bond be posted by the owner (Mr. Orimwade) to cover
any damage or thett problems.
Mr. David RJgby spoke in defense of the Skydive group and their concern for safety in respect to
airport activities, and how much this business adds to the Community in economic growth and
charity activities.
The subject of a security bond by only one airport user was discussed and found impractical.
Rex Dirby, the pilot of the King Air.-.-.plane, expressed the need for the campground because of a
lack of hotel/motei accommodations in the near area, and the large number of people attending
the exhibitions. He referred to campers at Zephyrhills airport being security conscious for other
airplanes on the premises.
The public hearing was closed at 8:20 p.m.
Staff'recommended approval of the accessory use provided the following conditions are met,
based on what we've heard.
1) Security personnel be provided at all times (24 hrs.) when any camper is there
overnight.
2) Lighting be provided in appropriate areas to provide security, and approved by FAA.
3) Post a sign or signs indicating regulations, and the wording be approved by the airport
manager.
4) Maintain a public telephone at all times for emergency.
5) Limit the areas depicted on the site plan dated December 94, revised 6/5/95 indicating
ten parking stalls with a 20 x 30 tent area.
6) Provide a pass for every camper, displayed in the windshield or on the tent with proper
ID required.
7) No fee or charges required and the pass must be issued to an approved skydiver.
8) HRS must approve any bathroom facilities, whether existing or new, and a bathroom
must be open 24 hours.
(9) The insurance be reviewed and approved as to amounts to satis~ the City Attorney.)
Mr. Van Antwerp discussed an airport layout plan which shows a proposed fence that goes
around the entire airport, and the possibility of putting a time limit on Skydive Sebastian activities
which would bring them up for review at a future time.

Mr. Williams suggested that any condition can be imposed in the approval, and that the City make
sure it is covered under present liability coverage.
Chmn. Thompson pointed out page 69 of the Land Development Code with a summary from 20A
2.6 A, B, C, D, E, F, & G for a special use permit as follows:
1) Determine it will not be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare.
2) Determine it will not be injurious to other properties or improvements within the
immediate areas.

similar in nature and compatible with uses allowed in the dist/'ict.
Low level lighting was discussed for the northeast comer of the parking area shining back toward
the RVs, and on the southeast parking area, directed away from runways. Any lighting will have
to be approved by the FAA.
A time limit of two weeks for campers was discussed and agreed upon by all parties.
Chron. Thompson brought up the subject of sanitary disposal on site. Mr. Mosby has been in
touch with Glenn Schuesiler. The present facility will be utilized until I-IRS approves an
additional facility.
The public hearing was closed at 8:50 p.m.
MOTION by Fischer/Schulke
I make a motion that the Planning and Zoning, aider reviewing Section 28-2.6 Special Use
Permits that we recommend to the City Council to approve the Special Use Permit for Sebastian
Skydive, Sebastian Inc., with the eight conditions as proposed by staff and the Memo from the
Police Chief, Earl Petty, dated July 3, 1995, and the plans from Mosby & Associates, Inc., sheet

SITE PLAN REVIEW - SANDR1DGE ESTATES APARTM]/;NTS
Mr. Randy Mosby of Mosby and Associates, Inc. was present and representing the applicant, Mr.
P. Jones, Architect.
Mr. Mosby explained that the concept of the site plan is a master site plan of four buildings in
phases. It was designed to give flexibility to the owner to come back before this Board in the
future to plat each phase, and sell off each phase. Overlooked on the site plan was a side yard
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
~OULAR ~ETING OF ~ULY 6,, 1995
setback, which depends on the building height. We show the setback offif~een feet for a parcel
that meets the City's height requirements. In one of the response letters to Masteller and Moler
we indicated that the building height was 30' 8", which results in a 3' setback on the side lot to
meet requirements on each of the parcels. The survey indicates flood zone "X". If there is a
portion of site in the flood zone, we will adjust the site plan accordingly.
Mr. Jones discussed the building and floor plans, including materials. Since the neighboring
buildings are owned by the applicant, and bordered by a drainage easement to the south and a
street to the north, he inquired as to whether a waiver could be issued in respect to the proximity
of proposed buildings to neighboring residential buildings, since the i/tgher pitched roof and
presently required setbacks conflict with the overall appearance of the project.
Mr. Cooper suggested applying for a variance for this issue. Mr. Jones suggested shining the
building if necessary. Mr. John King indicated he would rather shif~ the building than lower the
pitch on the roof so that they can get started with building it.
Mr. Cooper explained that technically, the proposed Phase four, which would be the comer lot;
the side yard setback would then become a rear yard setback. There seems to be adequate room
for adjustments on setbacks.
There was no public input.
Staff recommends approval subject to TRC subject and also to the west property line having a
setback of 20', and that you are waiving the south property line landscape strip along the parking
area.
MOTION by Barnes/Fischer
I make a motion to approve the site plan for Sandridge Estates at the comer of south Easy
