and stormwater. Ms. King reviewed the staff report, stating that no conditions needed to
be placed on this project and staff recommends approval.
Mr. Dodd asked if the driveway off Wimbrow would access other parcels of the
development area and Ms. King it would as the Rohm subdivision was actually a one lot
subdivision and Sherwin Williams carved out their parcel through the "division of lot"
process. If they should carve off any other pieces of the Rohm property, the entire site
must come back before this commission and go through the subdivision process.
Dennis Scott of DRP Company, Tampa, explained how they came to develop this site.
Answering Mr. Cardinale's question, Ms. Grohall explained the triangle gateway project
the city is undertaking with the flag pole and beautification around the public works
compound.
No one from the public spoke in favor or opposition. Chmn. Paul closed the public
