SITE PLAN REVIEWS & COASTAL SITE PLAN REVIEWS a) #X-17CAM – Pentecostal Church John 3:16 – 8 Woodward Ave – Replacement church – Preliminary review (Previously approved Sept 2015) Mr. Wrinn began the presentation by explaining the approval which had been done a few years ago. The applicant did not have a building permit, however, so they had to re-do the zoning permit process. He oriented the commissioners as to the location of the property. The church has already been leveled. It is the same application as before. He showed the site plans to the commissioners for the new church. It was the staff’s recommendation to have a public hearing in July. b) #13-17CAM – Landtech – 80 Seaview Ave – Public access deck and relocate existing shed - Preliminary review Mr. Strauch began the presentation by orienting the commissioners as to the location of the property on an aerial map. He then showed them the site plan. He also explained the deck and shed which was used for storage. The applicant has done some seawall work and would like to add another public access deck. They will have to move the shed. The deck will actually be a patio. The building will also be moved. The commissioners did not think it needed a public hearing so it would be placed on the Zoning Commission agenda later in the month. c) #11-17CAM – Eco Windows & Doors – 26 Wall St – Tenant fit-up for retail use - Preliminary review Mr. Strauch began the presentation by orienting the commissioners as to the location of the property on an aerial map. He then showed them the site plan. This area is exempt from parking. However, the applicant will need parking which would be 4 spaces. There are also no impacts to coastal resources. The commissioners did not think it needed a public hearing so it would be placed on the Zoning Commission agenda later in the month. II.
