Buffers and Walls- A decorative masonry retaining wall will contain the water retention area on
the west (along Hacienda Drive) and south property lines. The wall will be a 6-foot buffer to the
adjacent residential use on the south, according to the requirement of Section 20-485. The wall
finish will be consistent with the building finish.
A 10-foot wide stabilized maintenance berm, as referenced in Section 9-241(d)(3), is not required
given that the retention area is adjacent to a paved drive.
Circulation- No traffic study was required based on the proposed use. A 24-foot wide cross
access-easement to the Cumberland Farm property will allow eventual connection to the east.
The cross-access easement to the east must be recorded before a certificate of occupancy is
issued for the building. No cross access is included to Hacienda Drive (a private road).
A bicycle parking rack, as depicted on the site plan, is required. All internal sidewalks shall be
five (5) feet in width. A 5-foot wide sidewalk is shown from the public sidewalk along SR434
to the main entrance of the building for pedestrian connectivity.
Off-street Parking- The site plan accommodates a total of 35 parking spaces, slightly more than
the 33.4 spaces required by code. Parking spaces are broken up with landscape areas.
Landscapi~ No trees are to be saved. The landscape plans accurately reflect the tree credits
required to mitigate, for the trees removed. The drawings comply with the landscape screening
requirements for the site [see Section 20-484 (11) which states that "all parking areas and
vehicular use areas to be screened from public ROW"], however, the landscape ~plans_ do,_not

Recommen~tion of approval by the Planning & Zoning Board wi1L_be contingent... on -the-~
landscape architect revising the landscaping plans to reflect this change.
Utilities- The Public Works Director indicates that sufficient water and sewer capacity is
available for this project.
FINDINGS:
1. The proposed final engineering/site plan is consistent with the City's Comprehensive
Plan and Code of Ordinances.
2. Across-access easement, as depicted on the site plan, must be recorded prior to the
issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the building.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the P&Z Board recommend approval to the
City Commission of the attached final engineering/site development plan subject to the revisions
needing to be made by the project landscape architect.
