The Police, Fire, Building and utility Dept. comments have been resolved to the satisfaction of the respective departments. Mr. Bradick noted that they had received a letter from the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission approving the project in regard to the eagle's nest located near the eastern portion of the property. The nest is located 750 feet southeast of the subject property and is therefore outside the primary protection zone. No portion of this development will occur within this zone. A copy of the Commission letter is in the project file. Mr. Gosline noted there is a revision to his comment number seven and that comments 14 and 15 have been eliminated. The new comment seven reads as follows: Although the density of the proposed project is not within the Medium Densi ty Residential range established in the Comprehensive Plan, it is the City's position that any residential development on Parcel 15 which does not exceed the limits established in the Settlement Agreement, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Mark Jenkins noted that he had not received a signed and sealed set of revised plans and therefore could not review the material to ensure that his comments had been adequately addressed. Mr. Bradick explained that they had inadvertently sent out the revised ". . .-": ~ _._~. -.-. site Plan Review Board Meeting Summary June 7, 1994 page 2 plans without signing and sealing them as required by the Code. They provided Mark with the correct material during the meeting. Tim moved that Project Number 94-SUB-3 be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Board with a recommendation of approval of the preliminary engineeringlsite plan, subject to the applicant satisfying any outstanding comments from the City Engineer. The motion was seconded by Kip and passed unanimously. Subsequent to this meeting, Mark reviewed the corrected materials and approved the submission at the preliminary plan stage. Prolect Number 94-SUB-4 Grand Reserve preliminarv Enqineerinq/Site Plan Mark noted the Code limits the maximum length of a cul-de-sac to 800 feet. The access road for this project exceeds that length. Therefore, a variance will be required. After some discussion, the Board said they could all support the variance request since there were numerous other streets in the City that are, in effect cu1-de- sacs, which exceed this limit. The applicant agreed to request a variance for this matter. Mr. Gosline said that this matter will be scheduled for the July 7, 1994 meeting of the Board of Adjustment, provided the completed application forms are received no later than the close of business June 15, 1994. Mark also requested a wider easement along the creek located on the property. After some discussion, it was decided that an easement of 25 feet along each side of the creek would be acceptable to all concerned. Mr. Starmer, the applicant, noted that, in addition to this easement, the wetlands on the property will be dedicated to the SJRWMD. Mark requested vehicular access around the retention pond located in the northwest portion of the project. This access is necessary for maintenance of the pond. Mr. Starmer said that he would confer with Florida Power and Light Company, the owners of the easement in which the retention pond is located, to get their approval, but he did not think it would be a problem. A wet bottom pond variance will be required for the pond unless it can be redesigned to stay sufficiently above the water table. Carl moved that Project Number 94-SUB-4 be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Board with a recommendation for approval of the preliminary engineering/site plan, subject to the receipt of a variance for a wet bottom pond, if necessary, and a variance to allow a cul-de-sac in excess of 800 feet. Kip seconded the motion and it passed unaimous1y. site Plan Review Board Meeting Summary June 7, 1994 page 3 Prolect Number 94-SP-2 McDonald's site Plan Bruce explained that this project is a conventional Chapter 9 site plan review project which is not subject to the further review by either the Planning and Zoning Board, or the City Commission. Therefore, the applicant may start construction as soon as all the comments of the site Plan Review Board members are satisfied. Carl mentioned there should be some provisions for joint access to the properties to the north and east of this site. Mr. Smiley, the McDonald's representative, explained that he has had preliminary conversations with Schrimsher Properties, Inc. regarding this matter and that when the property to the north and east is developed, access agreements would be obtained. Carl also mentioned that the next development that comes in to either the east or the north will be required to provide sewer service to their development. The property will also be required to undergo the subdivision process pursuant to the requirements of Chpater 9 of the City Code and Chapter 177, Florida Statutes. There was considerable discussion regarding the access problems for the whole area that will be present until the SR 434 widening is completed. Mr. Smiley said they have had a number of conversations with FDOT and the County regarding these problems and have not yet come to a satisfactory resolution. Bruce indicated he will coordinate a meeting with the School Board, the FDOT, the City and the County Engineer to attempt to mitigate these problems.
