Terry Turbyfill, 800 NE 26 Street, stated they wish to continue the use of a professional office building at the address stated. He relayed the history of their purchase, subsequent application, and nature of their business. Mr. Turbyfill indicated they do not manage vacation rentals. He added there is no machinery in the building, and the storage area is for lock boxes, storage, etc. There is an off-site warehouse where they park their maintenance vehicles. Bert Fisher, Community Planning Technician, provided the staff report and recommendations, discussed the uses for the zoning district and described the property. Vice Chair Cassidy wondered why the property was not covered as a Professional Office under the Code (Sect. 20-15). Mr. Fisher explained that Professional Office Use is a Conditional Use. Wilton Manors- Planning & Zoning May 9, 2016 Page 3 Discussion ensued on the matter of the location of the monument sign, with Mr. Fisher noting that when a change in business ownership occurs, non-compliant signs have to be replaced. Chair Berry was curious if the landscaping hedges would also require irrigation and plans that would be costly for the new business. Mr. Fisher replied that the Landscape Plan had been reviewed, and they are only requiring a buffer (low shrubs) at the ends of parking rows to soften the look of the parking area. Spacing for the plant materials is specified in the Code. Chair Berry wondered if the business could move the monument sign without building a new one. Mr. Fisher responded that if it meets the other criteria for monument signage, and if it is movable, that would be satisfactory. Chair Berry opened the floor to public comment on CU 16-01. Hearing none, Chair Berry closed the floor to public comment on CU 16-01. Roberta Moore, Community Development Services Director, reiterated the staff recommendation, and asked that the staff report and all backup material be submitted as part of the record. Motion made by Board member Ruppender, seconded by Board member Stadnik, to approve CU 16-01 for 800 NE 26 Street, subject to two conditions: 1. Removing the existing monument sign from the public right-of-way; 2. Providing parking row hedge planting. In a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously (7 -0). VII. Staff Comments a) Discussion of meeting dates Ms. Moore said there are conflicts with budget workshops for the meeting dates for July and September, 2016, and those meeting dates will be addressed in the near future. Ms. Moore also advised that the City Commission has entered into a contract with the firm Strategic Planning Group, Inc., whose role is to create an Economic Development Strategic Plan for the City. They will be presenting at the next meeting of the Economic Development Task Force (May 18, 2016, at 5:30p.m.). VIII. Board Comments Board member Stadnik mentioned that she thought the Metropolitan project was supposed to supply sidewalk or curbage at least to the train tracks. She had asked Mr. Archacki about it, but no records could be found to that effect. Chair Berry and Board Wilton Manors - Planning & Zoning May 9, 2016 Page4 member Ruppender remembered they were going to build a pedestrian walkway to get over the tracks. Board member Stadnik suggested a more thorough search of the meeting minutes. Ms. Moore believed the developer has constructed a sidewalk to the train tracks and estimated approximately 15 feet beyond the tracks. Ms. Moore advised staff is in the process of going through all the public hearing documents. Chair Berry did not recall that the developer was required to build the sidewalk - he thought that was what the developer offered to do. Ms. Moore stated that City has issued a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the front residential building, clubhouse, gatehouse, and four of the six carports. Prior to issuing the final Certificate of Occupancy, staff will ensure that every condition of approval has been met. IX. Adjournment Upon motion duly made and seconded, the meeting was adjourned at 7:35p.m. [Minutes transcribed by J. Rubin, Prototype, Inc.] /0 -1 tj-/ {., Dated
