The proposal consists of 84 town home units with the main access directly lined up with the access to Park Place on Barber Street.

The county is requiring the developer to bring the lift station up to code. Tract B is an existing wetland area, which will be increased by the applicant. The oak hammock to the west of Tract B will not be disturbed. The proposal is for platting the lots, which means the homeowner owns the land fee simple as well as their unit. Parking consists of one-car garage and driveway, additional spaces around the units with an added thirteen spaces throughout the site. Ms. King reviewed the staff report. She reinforced that the secondary access point is for emergency and utility use. The applicant is providing 14 more parking spaces than is required by our minimum code requirements.

Thanks, John Oakes Date: From: Subject: To: CC: Mon,2 Oct 200608:27:37 -0700 (PDT) "John Oakes" <dadj07@yahoo.com> !~Add to Address Book i Add Mobile Alert Error in minutes of special meeting for P&Z August 31 st, 2006 "Sally Maio" <smaio@cityofsebastian.org> "Rich Stringer" <rstringer@cityofsebastian.org> Monday October 2nd, 2006 Sally GoodMorning, I would like to identify an error in the P & Z minutes of Special Meeting on August 31 st, 2006. On page 3 of Chairman Matters sentence 6 at the end of the sentence is stated "or Mr. Morrison". This is incorrect. I did NOT include "or Mr. Morrison" in my statement that evening. I had no conversations at anytime prior, during or afterwards with Mr. Morrison about Mr. Gilliams project, and I stated that publicly that evening. What I did say is I had no recollection of any dissussions with any "staffmember" in reference to Mr. Gilliams project. There should be no doubt or question in anyone's mind that I had any conversation at anytime with Mr. Morrison about this project. I did not. Please correct this error in the minutes. I would also appreciate it if this e-mail could be presented publicly at our next P & Z meeting and read into the record. Sincerely, John Oakes How low will we go? Check out Yahoo!
