Mr. Ken Good with Mosby & Associates of Vero Beach was present representing the applicant. Mr. Good and Tracy Hass were sworn in by the Chairman at 7:27 P.M. Mr. Good indicated that this modification has to do with a change in the parking and the landscaping and additional green area. Tracy Hass gave staff presentation, noting that the applicant went before the Board of Adjustment to get a vadance on the parking requirements on this site. He noted that this vadance was granted and it reduces the parking area and increases the number of compact spaces to eight (8). He also indicated that this site will have thirty-nine (39) trees instead of thirty (30), and the applicant will enter into a developer's agreement for future.connection to the water main. He noted that this will be an additional condition of approval, and that we (the City) will require a copy of the developer's agreement. He then noted that staff recommends approval with the three conditions recommended in the staff report. There was discussion on when this applicant will connect to the water main. The time element was unclear. There was discussion on vegetative ground cover and landscaping. Mr. Hass noted that because this building and site are so old, there isn't room to place landscaping and parking to meet code. Upon recalculating the number of required trees, it was determined that the plan meets code. It was acknowledged that a perimeter landscape strip is not usually required on the property line abutting the railroad track. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 18, 1999 There was more discussion, including the landscaping plan in the parking area to include a green area at the front of each parking space. Atty. Stringer noted that since P & Z does not grant variances or waivers, it is always an implied condition of P & Z approval of a site plan that if a vadance or waiver is necessary, it will be applied for. Chmn. Schulke suggested that another condition of approval be added to the staff report requiring the applicant to obtain a waiver or variance for the landscape strip, unless staff determines otherwise. Chmn. Schulke opened and closed the public hearing at 8:05 P.M., as there was no public input. Mr. Hass noted that staff recommends approval with the conditions as outlined earlier, including the additional condition of exploring the possibility of whether the applicant will have to file for a variance or waiver. Chron. Schulke suggested adding - 'unless staff determines otherwise, it is not required'. The Secretary read the additional conditions for clarification.
