Highway #1 Mr. Teen Woon, Singer Architects, Fort Lauderdale, FL., was present, representing the applicant, and, al~)ng with Don Gracey with World Bank, and Jan King, was sworn in by the Chairman at 7:07 pm. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 21, 2000 Mr. Woon gave a presentation on the roof material used on the World Bank and showed a sample of the dimensional shingles that will replace the present roof. He explained his interpretation of the wording in the Code which stated "...three-dimensional fiberglass or asphalt shingle...". Jan King gave staff presentation noting that staff's original understanding from the site plan drawings was that it appeared be a metal roof. Her interpretation of the wording in the Code is that three-dimensional shingles must be used, and they can be either fiberglass or asphalt. She then noted that the owner and contractor have been notified and they are requesting a change or modification to the approved elevation which this Commission originally approved, and that is why it is before this Commission tonight. Chmn. Schulke opened and closed the public hearing at 7:12 pm, as there was no public input. VC Mather asked if by installing three-dimensional shingles, it would be brought back to the original site plan. Jan King responded that it would bring the building into compliance with the Riverfront Code, but the elevation that was approved looked like a metal roof. She noted that administratively, staff does not have the authority to allow them to make that change. This Commission approved their elevations when they applied, and should make the decision on this change. After some discussion, it was suggested that in the future, an issue such as this should be clarified on all future site plans, Mr, Mahoney offered his opinion on the issue. MOTION by Mather/Smith I make a motion that we approve World Bank of Sebastian roofing to go to three- dimensional asphalt shingles for their roof. Roll call: Ms. Vesia - yes Chmn.
