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.

MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 21, 2000
Mr, Mosby gave his presentation noting that all permits have been received from St,
John's River Water Management Dist, and DEP to connect this project to public sewers.
He pointed to the colored rendering of the facility and offered to answer any questions
the Commission may have.
Jan King gave staff presentation, which recommended approval, She noted that the soil
type is Immokalee. She also noted that a visit will be made to the site to verify that the
sign is placed properly, and commented on slight changes to the tree calculation, which
does not change the total number of trees required. She also explained the composition
of the screening in the rear yard, which is a combination of concrete wall and wood
fencing that totals a height of nine feet (9'), and must be approved by this Commission,
She noted that the applicant must provide the City with the access easements prior to
the issue of building permits,
The exterior features, roof, and color were discussed. Mr. Mosby indicated that the
building height will be closer to fourteen feet (14') since it is no longer planned as a two-
story building.
Chmn. Schulke opened the public hearing at 7:32 pm.
There were no opponents,
Sal Neglia, Sebastian, spoke in favor of this project, but questioned the turn from
Delaware Avenue and the drainage. Mr. Mosby responded.
Chmn. Schulke closed the public hearing at 7:37 pm.
Jan King noted that staff recommends approval with the notation that the P & Z
Commission must also approve the nine foot (9') combination fence in the rear.
There was brief discussion about the roofing material, and it was determined that there
would be three-dimensional shingles on the mansard roof on the front of the building.
Jan King read from the Code on the acceptable roof styles in the CR-512 Overlay
District.
MOTION by Mather/Vesia
I make a motion that we approve the site plan for the Gym and Fitness Center on
the corner of Delaware Avenue and (CR) 512 per the drawings of Mosby, job
number 00286, updated on 9/5/00, sheet C-1, sheet C-2, sheet C-3, with the
