PUBLIC HEARINGS AGENDA
400) The Human Bean
Ms. Rolle gave a presentation reviewing the proposed project, a coffee shop planned for
construction in the existing Venetian Square parking lot. Ms. Rolle noted that staff was
recommending approval with the following conditions:
1. Execution of proposed development agreement.
2. Substantial conformance to Exhibits.
3. Parking spaces shall be designed as 10’ X 20’ feet.
4. Building color palette of the elevations submitted shall be adjusted (lightened) to reflect a
base color that harmoniously conforms to the white/light gray coloring of the main Venetian
Square buildings.
5. The row of shrubs proposed to be planted for the streetscape shall be extended to the west
property line.
Discussion followed on traffic flow, outdoor seating, lighting conditions, and the franchise.
Ms. Jan White, applicant, introduced herself, discussed the franchise, noted it would be the
second location in Florida, and discussed potential hours of operation.
Mr. Kevin Hebert, MEI Partners, Civil Engineer discussed the Board’s concerns and was
amenable to the inclusion of a high intensity crosswalk, and lighting requirements if there was
outdoor seating.
Discussion followed on the size of parking spaces. Mr. Hebert noted that several spaces were
listed as 10’ x 18’ with 2’ overhang and asked that this be allowed to meet the approval
conditions. Staff did not object to allowing this and Attorney Eick suggested draft language
for the Development Agreement.
Ms. Rolle summarized that the Board had amended condition three to allow the two-foot
overhang and noted the inclusion of two additional conditions, one related to the installation
of a high intensity crosswalk without railing, and the other related to lighting requirements if
outdoor seating was installed.
