Mr. Paul also stated that this would be Mr. Simmons' last meeting as he recently tendered his resignation. Mr. Simmons has been a commissioner since 2004 and his time served is immensely appreciated. The Commission also wanted to welcome newly- appointed alternate member Mr. Rick Carter. MOTION by Simmons /Roth to approve the January 20, 2011 Regular Meeting minutes as submitted. Motion was approved unanimously by roll call. A. QUASI JUDICIAL PUBLIC HEARING SITE PLAN MAJOR MODIFICATION AND CONDITIONAL USE TIRE KINGDOM 1677 US HIGHWAY #1 RETAIL TIRE SALES AND SERVICE CENTER CR (COMMERCIAL RIVERFRONT) ZONING DISTRICT Mr. Paul opened the hearing and asked the Commissioners if they had any exparte communication. There was none. Mr. Ginsburg swore in anyone that was going to offer testimony during the hearing. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 2011 Mr. Aaron Bowles, MBV Engineering, Inc, reviewed the project, stating that the existing auto sales structure was 1,300 SF and a new 4,800 SF addition was being proposed. All setbacks, LDC regulations, open space, landscaping, etc. requirements were being met. A lot of new landscaping was being added along the front, and the extra -wide pavement was being defined into three specific access ways. He referred to the proposed color swatches brought to the meeting. The IRC Fire Department requested a change to indicate radii, which the current plans do not show. They would be amended. He reviewed the architectural plans, and noted they had met with staff a few times regarding the elevations. Ms. King reviewed the redevelopment and discussed items in the staff report. She noted the dumpster enclosure did not match the style of the building and this was added as a conditional of approval. SJRWMD's permit is required before commencement of construction. Ms. King also noted that some of the landscaping calculations were off, and there were some minor clean -up items that staff would like to see corrected. She explained that two different actions were required for the project consideration of both the site plan, and the conditional use for the vehicular service maintenance activity, which criteria was listed in the staff report. Staff recommended approval with the noted conditions as discussed. Mr. Roth stated he would like to see signs erected on Davis Street indicating no -way out or dead end street. Ms. Grohall stated she would have city staff take care of that. Mr. Reyes asked if there would be any closure of US #1 during construction. Mr. Bowles indicated it would be minimal since a lot of the asphalt was existing. Closures would only be during the day, opening back up at night. Mr. Dodd discussed the dilapidated condition of the retaining wall between the Senior Center and Tire Kingdom and questioned if it was going to be repaired. He was also concerned if there would be any stormwater run -off to the Senior site since it was 3 feet lower than the Tire site. Mr. Bowles noted the wall is on the Senior site and there were no plans for repairs, and that water run -off was being directed into the Davis Street stormwater collection system. Less water would be running towards the retaining wall. Staff stated they would watch the wall during construction for any signs of deterioration. Mr. Durr asked questions regarding the utilities going under Davis Street. Mr. Bowles stated there would be a directional bore. Mr. Paul discussed the proposed doors on the dumpster enclosure. He also questioned the "clean oil filter" area noted on Sheet C -7 and where the refuse tires were stored. Mr. Jack Mecca, owner of the property and developer of the project, stated the dumpster area was enlarged to accommodate both the dumpster and refuse tires, which were picked up for disposal minimally once a week. Mr. Paul asked if the elevations proposed were a corporate design structure. Mr. Mecca stated it was one of a kind and a product of meetings with staff, approximately $45,000 over original project costs. Mr. Paul verified that the property was in the Riverfront Overlay District and stated he did not think what was proposed met the District's Fishing Village theme. He felt the north side of the building was similar to Walmart's (tire service area). Mr. Hepler agreed. 2 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 2011 Mr. Mecca discussed how the elevations evolved, going over colors, what was modified and what was changed. Mr. Paul explained how he understood the overlay district's requirement for specific elevation types. Ms. Grohall stated the elevations were a far distance from what was originally proposed, and the original building was shown to the Commissioners. She stated the code encouraged the fishing village theme but that it was not mandatory. Mr. Reyes felt not every building could totally meet a fishing village look, but thought that the landscape plan could be bolstered to facilitate the theme extra palms, nautical pilings with rope, etc. He felt since the colored elevations presented did not include the landscaping they may be giving a wrong impression. Mr. Roth felt that the US #1 corridor was not the same a being right on the river and that it would be a good compromise with the appropriate landscaping. Public Input was opened. There were no proponents or opponents who spoke. There was further discussion regarding the landscaping, hardscape, liability, etc. MOTION by Dodd to approve the conditional use permit for vehicular service and maintenance for Tire Kingdom at 1677 US #1 and further approve the site plan as submitted by staff with the following changes: Staff recommendations 1 thru 3, and staff recommendation #4 with added item h to update the landscape plan to adhere to the Florida Fishing Village theme, and to add #5 to mitigate damage to the retaining wall on the west end of the property. Mr. Ginsburg stated the repair to the wall was already stated on the site plan and was therefore not necessary to make it a condition. Mr. Dodd restated his motion: Approve the conditional use permit and the site plan and add item #4h which is to modify the landscape plan to meet the Florida Fishing Village theme. Mr. Paul seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Mr. Durr yes Mr. Paul yes Mr. Hepler yes Mr. Simmons yes Mr. Reyes yes Mr. Roth yes Mr. Dodd yes The vote was 7 -0. Motion passed. B. QUASI- JUDICIAL PUBLIC HEARING SITE PLAN MAJOR MODIFICATION FISHERMAN'S LANDING 1540 1532 INDIAN RIVER DRIVE A WORKING WATERFRONT PROJECT INCLUDING A CHANGE OF USE, REPAIRS TO EXISTING FISH HOUSE, AND NEW HATCHERY AND ICE HOUSE CWR (COMMERCIAL WATERFRONT RESIDENTIAL) ZONING DISTRICT Mr. Paul opened the hearing and asked the Commissioners if they had any exparte communication. There was none. Mr. Ginsburg swore in anyone that was going to offer testimony during the hearing. 3 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 2011 Joe Schulke, PE, of Schulke, Bittle Stoddard, presented the proposed site plan explaining that the site had received grant money from the State enabling the City to purchase the two parcels, which have now been leased to Fisherman's Landing, LLC. He reviewed the new uses proposed for the Hurricane Harbor building, the new structures, landscaping, and stormwater for the south parcel, and went over the phasing items. He stated the attorney for the project, Mr. Rich Stringer, Esq., was also present for any questions. Ms. Bosworth reviewed the staff report, pointing out that the "fish house" was not counted in the building coverage since it was over water and a part of the submerged land lease for the parcel, the truck and fire truck access plans, IRC traffic statement review, Florida Communities Trust's approval, SJRWMD's permit, and waste discharge from the hatchery (none). Staff recommended approval of the project with the three conditions listed on page 8 of the report (landscape waiver, fish house ADA compliance, and jurisdictional approvals). The requested waiver was unable to meet public notice requirements and would need to be heard at a later meeting. Mr. Roth was excited for the project. Mr. Reyes verified that the submerged land lease had been updated and that it included the future dock expansion. Mr. Dodd asked questions regarding the timelines for the phases and when the waiver would be heard. Staff stated it could be back before the Commission on March 17 Mr. Schulke stated the waiver was being requested because the amount of trees required along the roadway and for foundation planting would hide the buildings. Mr. Durr verified that the landscaping did not include the parking area across the street. Ms. Grohall stated landscaping had already been provided for that area. Mr. Simmons asked if the existing building would continue to be used as a restaurant. Ms. Grohall discussed the proposed new uses which were a retail fish market, limited food service (ancillary to the site per the grant master plan), museum, and a public meeting area. There was a discussion on the colored elevations. There was further discussion regarding details of the working waterfront project and items shown on the site plan, and also possible growth of the food service into a full blown restaurant. Mr. Stringer reviewed the proposed food service details and stated there were no intentions to expand into a restaurant, as some of the State agencies would not allow it. A discussion followed regarding where the public would be allowed on the site vs. the active working waterfront area. Public Input was opened. There were no proponents or opponents who spoke. MOTION by Simmons /Paul to approve Fisherman's Landing Working Waterfront site plan with the following conditions as listed in Item 26 (of the staff report) 1, 2, 3 the waiver, the ADA compliance, and approvals of jurisdictional agencies as they relate to 1532 and 1540 Indian River Drive. ROLL CALL: Mr. Roth yes Mr. Paul yes Mr. Reyes yes Mr. Hepler yes Mr. Durr yes Mr. Dodd yes Mr. Simmons yes 4 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 2011 The vote was 7 -0. Motion passed. CHAIRMAN MATTERS: Mr. Paul asked when the approved bathrooms were going to be constructed at the Schumman Tennis Park. Ms. Grohall stated when the Skate Park renovations were completed it was the next Public Works project. MEMBERS MATTERS: Mr. Hepler discussed a complaint he heard from the Elks Lodge regarding the Seawinds Crematorium. Ms. Grohall asked that the complaint be brought to staff. Mr. Durr questioned if the landscaping for the Funeral Home required by the site plan had been planted yet. Ms. Grohall stated it was still an open issue that needed to be resolved. Mr. Simmons mentioned that he felt the un- screened roof equipment at Capt. Butchers, previously granted through a waiver, was not what was presented to the Commission. Ms. Bosworth explained that she thought the Fire Department regulations may have required some changes during the building permit process. Mr. Dodd discussed getting smaller -sized plans to help cut costs with the packet plans. Staff stated they could do a trial with 11" X 17" -sized plans with an upcoming site plan at next meeting, and relayed there was a recycling bin at City Hall for old plans that the Commissioners might have. He expressed his thanks to Mr. Simmons and would miss serving with him. Mr. Roth expressed he would like to bring back a discussion on "Adult Arcades" at the next zoning review session. Mr. Simmons thanked staff for their service to the City and Commission and that he enjoyed working with them and the other Commissioners over the past years. DIRECTOR MATTERS: Ms. Grohall thanked Mr. Simmons for his service to the Commission and to the Police Volunteer Department. ATTORNEY MATTERS: None Chairman Paul adjourned the meeting at 9:07 p.m. (2/22/11 db) 5 Date: February 24, 2011 Reference: HOME OF PELICAN ISLAND 1225 MAIN STREET SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA 32958 TELEPHONE (772) 589 -5518 FAX (772) 388 -8248 To: Planning and Zoning Commissioners From: Dorri Bosworth, Zoning Technician Growth Management Department Clams "R" Us 1624 Indian River Drive Site Plan Review MEMORANDUM Recently, staff discussed its final staff report and proposed recommendations regarding the site plan and waiver application for this project with the applicant's representative and civil engineer. At the request of Knight, McGuire Associates, they would like to table the public hearing and PZC review until the next regular scheduled meeting of March 17 They wish to revise the landscape plan in accordance with staffs recommendation (re: the waiver) so that the Commission would have a better comprehensible plan to review.
