applicant was considering developing 58 residential units and using the southerly 2.5
acres (separated from the rest of the site by wetlands) for self - storage. On August 10,
2009, the Commission agreed with the applicant's request to allow a 100,000 SF
storage facility within the DRI/PUD. At its October 12, 2009 meeting the Commission
approved an implementation agreement authorizing the indoor personal storage and

signage). The applicant is currently working on the plat for Parcel 14 and anticipates
coming back with the Master Plan. The applicant is still working on a replat for Parcel
14 and a redetermination of the wetland boundary with the SJRWMD. The applicant
has requested a meeting (held on July 20, 2010) to discuss the final wording for the
Development Agreement for this project. The applicant's unofficial request to excavate
an additional pond to provide fill for on -site development was discussed at the August

language for the DA as well as to finalize the process for moving forward with the Stor
Kwik facility and the initial site plan for the ILF /ACLF facility. The Applicant, staff,

indicated that they are in negotiations with an ILF /ACLF company for the last portion
of the Parcel 14 site. All parties have fmalized their review of the Implementation

special exception or both. The 40 acres had been acquired without platting. The
applicant has hired a new design team and met with staff on May 31 and July 8, 2005 to
summarize outstanding issues. On August 29, 2005, staff received an aesthetic review

The aesthetic review was approved at the August 28, 2006 Commission meeting. A
final engineering plan was resubmitted on September 20, 2006 and was reviewed at the
October 3, 2006 staff review. A request for an early work permit was heard at the
September 25, 2006 meeting, but a decision was deferred until more information is

permit request. The applicant resubmitted for an early work permit and provided the
additional information requested by the Commission. This permit was approved by the
Commission at the Novemberl3, 2006 City Commission meeting. The final
engineering plans and the Development Agreement were approved at the December 11,
2006, Commission meeting, but the development agreement was not executed or
recorded. A revised concept plan featuring 289 total units, incorporating 114 single
family detached units with 72 duplex units, 103 townhomes, 2 -car garages, and 260 on-

revision to the plans and advised the applicant of the necessary procedures to finalize
the plan changes. Staff and Dover Kohl & Partners reviewed and provided preliminary
comments to the applicant's informal concept plan for the site that includes various
single - family detached units, including front - loaded garages. At its April 28, 2008
meeting, the Commission approved a site development permit for limited clearing on
the property in those areas permitted for wetland mitigation The concept plan was
addressed at the May 18, 2010 staff review meeting and received conditional approval

June 16, 2009. The applicant is currently working on financing for this project and the
City is continuing consideration of potential economic development incentives. Staff is

2010 and confirmed that they are still waiting to hear from HUD. Another call from
the Developer in Mid November indicated that HUD is running late with their
actions on projects and, therefore, the developer is still waiting to hear from HUD
on financing for this project.

• (26) Starlight Baptist Church — Staff met with the applicant on September 18, 2008
to discuss building construction phasing. The applicant met with the Building Official
on October 14, 2008 to discuss modifications to the building plans necessary to
implement the phasing plan. A pre - construction conference was scheduled for
December 2, 2008, but was cancelled. The architect has worked with the Building
Official on a number of building design issues. The applicant has inquired about the
initial phasing of the project. The first portion of the construction would involve the
enclosing of the existing open basketball court building to serve as an interim meeting
place during construction of the new sanctuary. The contractor and site engineer have
renewed efforts to coordinate limited site work and enclosure of the covered basketball
court with staff. A very limited plan was addressed at the October 20, 2009 staff
review. Staff met with the consultant for this project on January 14, 2010. They are
proposing to enclose the basketball court for an overflow facility as phase 1 of the

development. Staff is working with the developer on Development Agreement
language requiring sidewalks on Bahama when the City paves that Road. The
consultant indicated that the Church may be in a position to begin the construction on
the first part of the new sanctuary by the summer of 2010. Staff is working with the
applicant on the aesthetic review for the first phase of development. A limited (scaled
back) site plan revision, comprised primarily of enclosing the 5,000 SF covered area,
providing a more secluded bus parking area, a dumpster enclosure, water and sewer
connections, and sidewalks along the adjacent ROWs was received and was addressed
at the March 2 staff review. The aesthetic review and final engineering for Phase I of
the project were approved at the April 26, 2010 Commission. A preconstruction
conference was held on April 27, 2010. As of June 7, 2010, building plans are under
review by the building department. The building department has completed their
review of the construction plans and comments have been sent to the contractor for
response. On July 28, 2010, staff received an electronic letter from the contractor,
requesting the sidewalk requirement (comprehensive plan and development agreement)
along Bahama Road be rescinded. Comments have been sent and received on the
building permit. The second review comments from the fire department have been
received and the permit is undergoing final review by the building division. The
building permit was issued on November 29, 2010, after the applicant secured the
water permit from the FDEP and paid the water and sewer connection fees to the
City.
