B. QUASI- JUDICIAL PUBLIC HEARING SITE PLAN G R
DEVELOPMENT 5,504 SF HANGAR TO BE LOCATED AT CITY OF
SEBASTIAN AIRPORT 50 AIRPORT DRIVE WEST
Chmn. Paul opened the hearing and asked for ex parte communication. Chmn. Paul
said he visited the site and spoke with the Airport Director. Mr. Ginsburg asked Chmn.
Paul if he believed he could view the application on the record tonight in a fair and
impartial manner. Chmn. Paul replied in the affirmative. Chmn. Paul then swore in
anyone that would speak.
Jodah Biddle of Schulke, Biddle Stoddard, Vero Beach, FL presented the application.
An item to be discussed is the tree planting along the western property line, which is
adjacent to the wetlands. As the hangars will be in the airport taxiway area, Mr. Griffin
will attest that he does not want trees in that area for flight safety reasons. Mr. Biddle
requested if the commission decides to approve the site plan it be done with removal of
the tree requirement.
Ms. King reviewed the staff report. She said the owner does plan to apply for additional
buildings on this property but those are not part of this application. The condition of
approval is that the tree requirement be addressed during the final development stages
of the property when they are closer to build -out of the site.
Gabriel Ferrer, G &R Development, answered the commission's questions about the
design and use of the hangars, which is airplane storage. No maintenance will be done
in the hangars. Mr. Griffin said that Mr. Ferrer and G &R Development have complied
with all FAA regulations as to a bona fide lease with the City of Sebastian Airport for this
project.
No one spoke in favor or opposition. Chmn. Paul closed the public hearing. Ms. King
explained if the commission believes the natural vegetation will fulfill the needs of the
LDC regarding landscape along that property line then there would not be a problem
with the commission waiving the tree requirement. However, we will readdress the
remaining landscape requirements of the site upon further development of the property.
In answering Mr. Dodd's question about signage Ms. Grohall explained that the air side
operators, which is anyone operating within the fence line, their names are added on to
the signage the city currently has installed on Airport Drive West at both the southern
most and northern most points. He is also entitled to signage on his building.
MOTION by Paul /Dodd to approve the site plan for G &R Development, 5,504 SF hangar
