SITE PLAN REVIEW - ENVIROCRAF1~ - INDIAN RIVER INDUSTRIAL PARK
Mr. Cooper noted that it has met all requirements, and we've received a recommendation of approval
from Masteller & Moler. Placement of well and septic will have to go before the Board of
Adjustment as they are reversed from general placement. Approval tonight is for Phase I and Phase
II, total site.
Staffhas no objections.
Mr. Randy Mosby of Mosby & Associates was present and spoke for the applicant. He explained that
the site was designed mainly to preserve the trees. He felt the present code did not adequately cover
this site as an adjacent property to the north also has well in front and septic in the rear, and he feels
the Code should be corrected, referencing Section 20A-5.6.
Staff agreed with Mr. Mosby about the Ordinance, Section 20A-5.6. It needs some flexibility in
certain instances.
PL~q....AND ZONING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST. 17, .! 995
PA~'E ~
Mr. Barnhart explained that an envirocraf~ is a 16 fL Catamaran run by two 3 horsepower engines
which are shrouded, and is complete people and manatee safe. It has no emissions and no wake, does
not pollute, and is quiet.
Mr. Randy Mosby of Mosby & Associates answered questions about the site. 'He explained that this
site is in a non-conforming subdivision. The building will be a hangar-type structure made of metal,
will be near the Railroad tract, and won~ be seen by the residential neighborhood. Signs will probably
be installed and will be according to Code.
Most other aspects of this site were discussed satisfactorily.
MOTION by Goldstein/Barnes
I'll move that the Planning and Zoning Commission approves this site plan for Envirocraft,
Inc. based on the presentation today, and the drawings by Mosby & Associates; drawing #95-333,
sheet C-1 of 2, revision 2 dated 8/8/95, sheet C-2, 2 of 2 also 95-333, Mosby & Associates, no
revision shown; sheet - I believe that's sheet S, this is a sheet that's marked "floor electrical plan",
I of 1, #95-333, Mosby & Associates; and also, based on elevation, this document identified as
"Global Steel, Inc." received July 6, '95, it is identified as the project for Don Majer, SebaSteen, FL;
drawing GB-95-1386, based on the City's TRC dated August 10, '95, the conditions therein and the
additional condition that the applicant will provide the irrigation design prior to the building permit.
Roll call was taken. 7-0 motion carried.
A break was taken at 8:03 p.m. The meeting resumed at 8:14 p.m with all members present.
SITE PLAN REVIEW - MEL FISi:IER'S TREASURE MUSEUM - 1322 U.S. HIGHWAY #1
Mr. Randy Mosby was present representing the applicant.
Mr. Cooper explained that this application is a proposal for an addition to Mel Fischees and utilizing
the east side of the property for parking, which was envisioned some time ago, and generated a
change in ordinance to provide just such a use on the east side. Most of the conditions in the TRC
can be worked with except condition #3, that they must obtain a variance and/or a favorable appeal
regarding that lot coverage.
Mr. Mosby discussed the "unity of title" aspect of this property. He noted that they would be asking
for a waiver on the parking for compact spaces. They will provide necessary hedges, and the open
spaces exceed the requirements. There will be chain link opaque fencing installed around the area
with artifacts. They choose to argue the interpretation of the "unity of title" by the City Attorney,
and will need to go before City Council for this action.
PLANNING AND., ZONING COMMISSION
REGULAR MI~-~TING OF AUGUST 17. 1095
PAGE FOUR
There was much discussion on the "unity of title" issue, what it signifies, and how it influences Mr.
Mosby's calculations. He suggested coming back to the next meeting with a plan that is cleared up,
and try to work out condition #3.
MOTION by Goldstein/Bames
I move that the Planning and Commission approve the site plan for Mci Fisher Center, Inc.
based on a "Paving and drainage" site plan, which is sheet C-l, 1 of 2, document #95-222, revision
#1, dated 21 July of'95; a drawing called "Paving and drainage details and notes", sheet C-2, 2 of
2, #95-222, revision 1, dated 21 July '95; an architectural drawing by James S. G-asparie, entitled
"Addition to Mel Fisher's Museum", it's labeled Job FC-11, drawing #1 of 1 sheets;' it shall also be
subject to the TRC dated 10 August 1995 including changing condition #3 to require the favorable
recommendation from the City Attorney opining that this can he construed as one lot in consideration
of calculation of open space and lot coverage' (Madam Secretary, I adopt Bruce Cooper's words as
if they came out of my mouth, I wish they did); also have a survey that was produced by James A.
Fowler, Land Surveying Co., the Boundary Hunter, dated $ March 1995,' to show topography,
drawing #3538-M; it is noted that the survey for the west side of Indian River Drive is in the official
file; the Planning and Zoning Commission waives the maximum number requirement for compact
parking stalls and delete TRC condition #5; ' and that we, the Commission, approve 9 ff. parking
stalls on the east side of Indian River Drive' (i adopt those words into my motion).
Roll call was taken.
Mr. Munsart - yes
Chmn. Thompson - yes
Mr. Goldstein - yes
Ms. Brantmeyer - yes
Mr. Barnes - yes
Mr. johns - yes
Mr. Schulke - no
6-1 motion carried.
MATTERS: None
Mr. Goldstein suggested that we place on the agenda, consideration of making maximum coverage
limits variable depending whether the application is in the riverside district and they involve lots
within a limited distance from each other on either side of Indian River Drive, the intent being to
minimize development along the east side of Indian River Drive.
Staff will propose langxmge to cover that issue and place it on the agenda for the next meeting so we
can get it off' to Council immediately.
