regard to the conditional use permit that is now required. Mr. Stringer stated that there is

going to be a conditional use review required on this application for the east side
development. Technically you could do the site plan review and then the conditional use
but that would require the commission to hear this application twice. Mr. Stringer
recommended a continuation of this until the notice for the conditional use portion is
published. He pointed out if an issue were to arise from the conditional use review that
would alter the site plan the commission would have to review the site plan again. Ms.
Bosworth noted that the site plan shows parking on the east side, which is a non-
conformity and must receive a variance from the Board of Adjustment. She questioned if
the commission would like to see the variance hearing outcome first before proceeding
with the site plan and conditional use review. Chmn. Smith inquired how long it would
take to go through the variance process and then return to this board and Ms. Bosworth
thought the earliest date this application could come back to the P&Z would be a
meeting in August. Mr. Gilliams asked if he could have this heard at the next meeting
under old business. Mr. Stringer interjected that it would have to wait until the first
meeting in August due to the time constraints for advertising the legal notice. He added
they might be able to get the variance to City Council on July 27th
Mr. Gilliams asked if he could get the commission's input on what is before them tonight
but Mr. Stringer said because it is a quasi-judicial matter they must make their decision
on solely what they hear during the public hearing. Mr. Gilliams asked if he could meet
with the people in attendance to hear their questions and concerns. Mr. Celli asked Mr.
Stringer if, when he was walking the site, he spoke to Mr. Gilliams would he be in
violation of any sunshine law. Mr. Stringer said no but he would have to disclose
anything that came out of the conversation that would affect his determination. In
general it is discouraged because in a quasi-judicial hearing your decision must be
based on purely what is presented within the hearing. After discussion of what could be
discussed Mr. Stringer recommended the application be continued to the August 4th
Planning and Zoning meeting and Chmn. Smith declared a continuation. Mr. Gilliams
concurred and asked if he could meet with the people in attendance after the
commission adjourns their meeting. Mr. Stringer said that was acceptable.
CHAIRMAN MATTERS:
NONE
MEMBER MATTERS:
Mr. Paul asked if anyone found out what happened to the "Welcome to Sebastian" sign
on 66th Avenue. Ms. Bosworth had not been given any information from Jan on that and
would talk to Public Works. He also asked about a No Right Turn at U.S. 1 and
eastbound CR-512. Ms. Bosworth said she will find out who has sign jurisdiction on that
road and area, possibly being FOOT.
DIRECTOR MATTERS:
NONE
ATTORNEY MATTERS:
Mr. Stringer said the council wants the commission to proceed with reviewing a draft of a
modification to the tree and landscape ordinance, which would be coming to them
shortly.
