Chmn. Paul opened the hearing and asked for any ex parte communications. He
mentioned that the engineer, Todd Howder, is his neighbor. There were no other
comments. He then swore in anyone wishing to speak. Mr. Todd Howder with MVB
Engineering, Vero Beach reviewed the plans for the board. He added that the
application is only for the maintenance building. This building will house lawn and yard
equipment.
Ms. Bosworth reviewed the staff report. She explained that since this storage building
would have to go before the commission they felt an updated site plan for the whole
facility would be in order. Setbacks, removal of 10 parking spaces, and two off-site
sheds were discussed. Staff recommends approval of the site plan with the conditions
listed in the staff report.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 17, 2008
Adrienne Dissis, 7775 134th Street, asked for clarification of the location of the garage,
and concerns about parking overflow into her front yard during holiday church services.
Ms. Bosworth said there is a parking agreement in discussion between the church and
the new medical facility and the bank to the south. Mr. Howder said he would work with
Ms. Dissis on her concerns as the church definitely wants to be a good neighbor.
Ms. Dissis approached with another question regarding the sheds to be moved and
landscaping. Mr. Pat Gilligan with Trendsetters Construction, who is the contractor for
the project, stated that he believed the church was going to get rid of the off-site sheds.
MOTION by Dodd/Buchanan to approve the site plan with the six conditions noted in the
staff report and modified as follows; (1) instead of saying "either" state "the color of the
new storage building"; (5) state removal of the sheds and not relocation from the
condition; (6) we would ask for foundation landscaping.
