We'll be calling this Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to order for June 18, 2026. Please stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. May I have a roll call, please?
Mr. Reno? Here. Ms. Battles? Here. Mr. Carter?
Present.
Ms. Kottenberg is excused tonight. Ms. Kitchen? Here. Ms. LaRusso is also excused tonight. Mr. Garten?
Present.
Okay, we have two announcements. Commissioners LaRusso and Kottenberg are excused from the meeting tonight, and Mr. Garten will be voting in their place. Also, a reminder to all of you, please turn your microphone off if you are not speaking so the feedback doesn't go into the minute taker. Thank you. Okay, our first item on the agenda is the approval of the minutes from the last meeting. Everyone has read them, I assume. Is there a motion?
Madam Chairman, I'll make a motion that we approve the minutes of June 4, 2026, of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
I'll second that.
Okay, I have a motion and a second. All in favor?
Aye.
Opposed? Seeing none. Okay. Okay. Do we not have any city attorney today?
Not that I'm aware of, Madam Chair.
Okay. First item on the agenda is a quasi-judicial for a site plan development for the City of Sebastian Public Works Department. Do you want to be the one to read?
I can read it into the record. Thank you. So the first item is item 6A, so public hearing, quasi-judicial, site plan development, City of Sebastian Public Works Department, 1201 Main Street, construction of an 18,000-square-foot vehicular shelter over existing stabilized parking. Zoning is an I-N industrial, and land use is I-N industrial.
We need to correct that address for the record. It's 505 Airport Drive West. It's on the staff report.
It shall be corrected.
Okay. Well, we have no one to swear them in. Will you swear them in?
Technically, I guess.
We can have them fill out the speaker oath cards.
Okay.
Is there anyone from staff who wants to speak on this?
I have a presentation for the commission. Sorry, as you see, this is a site plan development for the City of Sebastian Public Works Department. The property owner is the City of Sebastian. It's construction of an 18,000 square foot vehicular shelter located on the existing stabilized parking lot. The location of this vehicular shelter is located on the southwest corner of the property. It's roughly 130 by 122 feet tall, and it's over existing impervious area, so it will not increase any of the stormwater requirements for the site. This is a pretty straightforward site plan, and we do have the Public Works Director, Lee Flirty, here to answer any questions if you have any. And the recommendation is approval of the proposed site plan for the City of Sebastian Public Works Department located at 505 Airport Drive West. Thank you.
Is there anyone from the public who wishes to speak for or against this proposal? Any questions for the Public Works Director?
YEAH, I HAVE THREE. I HAVE A FEW.
OKAY. COULD YOU COME UP, PLEASE?
DOES THIS HAVE TO GO THROUGH FIA APPROVAL? DOES FIA HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS? NO. OKAY. IS THIS CITY PROPERTY?
THIS IS.
SO IT'S THE... NO WORDS... OKAY, I GUESS THAT'S... IT'S NOT AIRPORT. AIRPORT WOULD BE THE CITY, SO IT'S THE CITY AIRPORT PROPERTY?
YES, IT IS LEASED FROM THE AIRPORT.
So the 30-foot hike, is that going to be a problem with the aviation?
It is not.
The rain runoff, you're not showing any gutters on this building? Do you know if it's going to have gutters?
We will have gutters, and they'll be directed toward these stormwater retention ponds.
Okay. That's the only questions I had.
Thank you.
Just a couple, as with the last one that we had with the police department, this is for maintenance vehicles, and it's not for so much employee parking or private vehicles. This is strictly for city vehicles and machinery?
Heavy equipment in our city vehicles.
Okay, thank you.
Okay.
We are closing the public hearing, and I will entertain a motion.
I'll make a motion that we approve the site plan for the City of Public Works Department at 505 Airport Drive for the construction of 18,000 square foot vehicle shelter over existing stabilized parking lot, land use, IN zoning district.
I'll second that.
Can I have a roll call, please? Mr. Carter?
Yes.
Ms. Kinchin? Yes. Mr. Reno?
Yes.
Ms. Battles?
Yes.
Mr. Garten? Yes. Motion carries.
Okay, moving on. We are going to take a public hearing on items B and C respectively together, but we will need two separate motions to City Council. So we will open the public hearing now. And I guess you're on the floor.
Yes, Madam Chair. Item B is a public hearing legislative recommendation to City Council for a large-scale comprehensive plan future land use amendment. Coulter Group Acquisitions LLC is the applicant. An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map for property containing 382.4 acres, more or less, known as Crestwind. Located east of 82nd Avenue, west of 78th Avenue, south of 69th Street, and north of Sebastian River Improvement District Ditch Sublateral CAE. Existing future land use is County AG-1, which is agricultural, one unit per five acres. Requested future land use is VLDR, very low density residential, maximum three dwelling units per acre. And I'll go ahead and read item C, which is a public hearing, a quasi-judicial, recommendation to city council, Rezoning Conceptual Planned Unit Development PUD Plan, Crestwind, Coulter Group Acquisitions, LLC. Applicant subject parcels is 382.48 acres, more or less. The development is 900 single-family age-restricted units at 2.45 units per acre. located east of 82nd Avenue, west of 78th Avenue, south of 69th Street, and north of Sebastian River Improvement District Ditch Sublateral C8E. Current zoning is any River County A1, agricultural one dwelling unit per five acres. The requested zoning is PUDR, which is a planned unit development residential.
Does the applicant have a presentation?
Yes, sir. Good evening. And talking this evening, thank you your last time for your patience with me. Good evening. Ken Tuma with Urban Design here today on behalf of the Coulter Group. The Coulter representatives are in the audience this evening. You have not seen this piece of property before. It is a recently annexed piece of property into the city of Sebastian. As Jim indicated, it is 382 acres. And what is in front of you this evening is completion of an annexation agreement that was agreed upon in May of this year with the City Council. As Jim indicated, there are two items in front of you. You're sitting here is your authority as a LPA and also your authority as a Planning and Zoning Commission. In those items, the first one is a land use change. That land use change is to go to very low residential density, which allows up to three dwelling units an acre. And then also, the next change is to do a PUD, and that PUD is a PUDR, and part of that will be the conceptual development plan that I'm going to show you this evening. So I've got about 10 slides, and I'm going to walk through this fairly quickly this evening. The team that is assembled here, we have a representative of Coulter Group, Mr. Wiener and Mr. Schubin are here, and they certainly can answer any questions about what a Crestwin is. By the way, Crestwood is an age-restricted community that Colter built all across the southeast United States. So they've done this several times, well, about eight times in different areas. We have our civil engineers. Mr. Mills is here this evening. He can answer any civil engineering questions that you have. Our transportation engineer, Mr. Lambert, is here, certainly can answer any traffic matters that are in front of you this evening. And myself and Ms. Toomer here from Urban Design Studios. She's a landscape architect. So the subject site on the screen in front of you is south of 69th Street, just east of 82nd. It is, as I said earlier, 382 acres, and it's just south of the City of Sebastian on the property adjacent to the property known as the Graves. It is currently in the City of Sebastian. The annexation has occurred. There was an annexation agreement approved on May 13th, and then final annexation of the site was done on May 26th. So this is within the City of Sebastian. It's within your authority to make land development decisions on. So the request, as I said a little bit earlier, is a large-scale land use amendment to go to very low-density residential, three dwelling units per acre, and then also the PUDR or residential-style PUD with an underlying conceptual development plan. AND AS THE SCREEN INDICATES, THESE ARE CONSISTENT WITH THAT ANNEXATION AGREEMENT. SO HERE'S A SUBJECT SITE TODAY. TODAY IT IS LOCATED, TODAY THE LAND USE IS UNINCORPORATED INDIAN RIVER LAND USE. HOWEVER, IT IS IN THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN. LEGALLY, MUNICIPALITIES MUST CHANGE WHEN THEY'VE ANNEXED A PIECE OF PROPERTY INTO THEIR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. SO THE REQUEST FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE AGREEMENT IS TO GO TO THE THREE DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE. Now, the project that Coulter is presenting to you tonight that you will see in the PUD plan is less than three dwelling units per acre. It's actually 2.35 dwelling units per acre. So they're using about 78% of the available residential density, and it will also be age-restricted. AND HERE'S THE SUBJECT SITE FROM A ZONING STANDPOINT, HAS THE SAME ZONING, INDIAN RIVER ZONING, THE GOAL OF COURSE IS, OOPS, ONE BUTTON TOO FAST, THE CURRENT, THE FUTURE ZONING WILL BE PUDR. SO I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU A LOOK AT THE MASTER PLAN. SO THIS IS NOT, THIS IS IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING, BUT THIS ISN'T THE ACTUAL PLAN THAT YOU'RE APPROVING. THIS IS A COLOR GRAPHIC REPRESENTING THE PLAN. SO IF I MAY GRAB THE MOUSE. SO THE PROPOSAL, AND TO THE LEFT IS NORTH IN THIS PARTICULAR DRAWING, TO THE RIGHT IS SOUTH, AND THIS IS 82nd STREET, SO 82nd STREET GOES DUE NORTH. AND THIS IS QUAIL VALLEY UP HERE ON THE TOP OF THE SCREEN. So this is an age-restricted community, so it is a very significant component of it is how the amenities work. And there's a large amenity parcel on the subject site. The amenity parcel is 8.24 acres. The proposal is to have a clubhouse that will generally, there'll be a couple different buildings on it, but that clubhouse will generally be between 13,000 to 15,000 square feet. Not in front of you this evening, but I want to give you an idea that it's active adult. Those active adult include all types of exciting things they have. THEY HAVE POTTERY, THEY HAVE ART ROOMS, THEY HAVE FITNESS, SO IT IS INTENDED FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME OVER 55, AND SO WE CAN HAVE A PLACE WITHOUT OUR CHILDREN AND ENJOY THE 55-PLUS LIFESTYLE. SO THE SUBJECT SITE, THE ROADS ARE A LITTLE WIDER. THERE'S SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD, AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO MAKE IT A REAL WALKABLE COMMUNITY FOR AN AGE RESTRICTED. THERE ALSO ARE SIGNIFICANT BUFFERS. THE NEXT SLIDE. The next slide shows kind of some of the design techniques that are involved, including the fact that there are wide buffers all the way around the project. There are some public benefits here. And the one I didn't mention earlier on, as part of the annexation agreement, we agreed to provide about, we being Coulter, not me, we, Coulter, agreed to give a voluntary contribution to the city for the recreational trust. That contribution includes an upfront payment and a per unit payment. That is part of the annexation agreement. They are also dedicating additional land, particularly on the south side of the parcel. There's an existing canal. They'll be dedicating land on the south side. And then along 82nd, DOT needs a pretty significant amount of right-of-way that will be dedicated as part of this project. They will also, internally in the system, they're also going to handle some of the DOT drainage here. There's actually a lake associated with the DOT drainage of about 1 point something acres, 1.5 acres. So that's the big picture of the plan. So this is a specific data. So the data of the project itself shows that it's 3.82.48 acres, 900 units, age restricted, again, less than what's allowed at 2.35 dwelling units per acre. Some of the design plans that we've had that we've worked on actually show less density than that, but for the purpose of this evening, We're staying with the 900 units. There's an 8.29-acre amenity parcel. There's 83 acres of lakes and trails. We're dedicating land to the Water Management District, and that's the actual dedication on 82nd. It's 76 feet. So a significant amount of land area is being dedicated along 82nd Avenue to the Department of Transportation to allow for the widening of 82nd. So this is the actual thing that you're approving this evening, if you agree with it, is the PUD conceptual plan. This is the actual phasing plan. Identify it on the screen. You'll note in phase one is the amenity itself, a pretty significant amenity in constructing those initial phase of 224 units. And then the balance of the phase will go through four to five phases through the course of the project. So ingress-egress, the ingress-egress is proposed, the main entrance off of 69th and then also on 82nd. Both of them lead directly to the cultural center or the amenity center for the site. It's really the driving factor for these age-restricted. It is a gated community. It will have significant landscape. These are just some typical right-of-way sections. They're a little different. They're a little wider. The sidewalks are a bit wider in this, and that's intended to make it a real walkable community, particularly for the population that's going to live there. They like to ride their bikes and have access on both sides of the road. And then some medium-divided main road. That main road is 100 foot right-of-way. That allows for a fairly significant tree-line median. And then surrounding the property are buffers. Part of your PUD is what's the buffers, how are we going to protect the neighbors surrounding us. So on the north side, which is adjacent to the graves parcel, there's a 50-foot buffer proposed adjacent to 69th Street. To the south side along 82nd, there will be a 50-foot wide buffer. And then on the south side, there's a 30-foot buffer. And then on the east side, there is a 50-foot wide buffer. Also, when you look at this plan, you'll note the use of lakes throughout the project. We did create one general lake. We created several lakes throughout to make the design have lakes and have curved linear roads to create kind of neat little pockets for people to live in. And this is a cross-section for those buffers, heavily landscaped, bermed on both of them, both on the 30-foot and the 50-foot. You will get the opportunity to review these in full detail when we come back for your preliminary plat process. So this is just the first phase that approves the PUD. We have to come back in front of you for every phase and every project that we're doing. That's the reason why you don't see the detailed landscape plans on your backup. These are just sections. And so this is the amenity parcel that is on a different project that Coulter has. And just to give you a flare of what will be coming, you have a staff condition of approval. We certainly will come back for this as part of the approval process. Open space, your code requires 50% open space. This plan shows 55% of open space or 210 acres of the 382 acres is open space. So lot typicals, we have a range of lot typicals on this site. These are all single family homes. So the lot typicals are ranging from 40 feet to 49 feet and then 50 feet and greater. The expectation is that these lots will generally be 40, 50s and 60s. Excuse me, 40, 50s and 60s are what we're thinking is going to come when we come for you for the preliminary plot. And this is some architecture that Coulter has built on other projects. You note the design. A lot of it is one story, obviously, because this is an age-restricted. And you'll say, well, Ken, that's one story. Then why do you have a two-story here? This is for the grandchildren. They bump it up to have a bonus room on the top. So these are just some of the architectural elevations that will come to you in the future. Conceptual utility plan. Mr. Mills is in the audience can answer specific questions, but let me walk you through some of the key things. There is going to be a water main extension on 82nd and that water main extension will run down 82nd and connect into the overall system. The same thing on 69th Street. There will also be improvements on 69th Street. We will be required to pave 69th Street. Traffic, Mr. Lambert is in the audience, but I'm going to walk through the traffic. This is age restricted. So age restricted has a different peak hour, right? Because people in 55, we don't go out at 7 a.m. and go to work. It's just a different timeline. So you'll notice the peak hour trips here are fairly lower. In fact, typically. In this type of community, Mr. Lambert can opine on this. Typically, you see about two-thirds less trips at peak hour than you do at a normal community where people are going to work every day. So age-restricted has a significant less traffic than a similar project. And then we will be constructing some left-term lanes at the driveways. So in summary, we have your staff recommendation of approval. We have our whole team here. There are two items in front of you. The first item is that as the LPA is the land use change to the VLRD and then also a request to rezone the property to PUDR. It's that whole team's here. Happy to answer any questions you have. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chair and board. I'm sorry, one thing. This is really more for you. So in reviewing the conditions of approval, we are in agreement with the conditions of approval. We do still need to work through one with staff that we noticed tonight. Just some words were a little quirky that we're going to work through, but it's minor fixes. Thank you.
ALL RIGHT, GOOD EVENING. JIM MANN, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. I'M GOING TO FOLLOW UP WITH MR. TUMAN'S PRESENTATION ON ITEM B. TONIGHT IS A APPLICATION TYPE IS THE LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT. THE APPLICATION PROJECT NAME IS CRESTWIND. THE APPLICANT IS CULTURE GROUP ACQUISITIONS AND THE ENGINEERED RECORD IS MILL SHORTS AND ASSOCIATES. SO THE REQUEST FOR THIS APPLICATION IS A LARGE SCALE FLUME AMENDMENT, FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT. CURRENTLY IT IS ANDY RIVER COUNTY AG 1 AGRICULTURAL, AND THE REQUEST IS TO CHANGE THE AGRICULTURAL FUTURE LAND USE TO A VERY LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. AND THE ACREAGE FOR THIS PARCEL, THE PARCELS ARE 382.48 ACRES. AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE, IT WAS ALSO IN MR. TUMMA'S PRESENTATION, THE LOCATION MAP, In front of you, it's located south of the Graves Brothers annexation property. And here's a map depicting the existing and the proposed future land use of the properties in question. And with the comp plan consistency, this is part of our policy that very low residential development areas designated as very low density shall accommodate up to three dwelling units per acre and shall be comprised primarily of single family detached homes on individual lots. So it is consistent with our comp plan. And all the other applicable elements of the comp plan, it is consistent as well for future land use, traffic, public facilities, housing, coastal, recreation, conservation, intergovernmental coordination. So our recommendation from staff is to change from Indian River County AG1 to VLDR, and it's consistent with our comprehensive plan policies for very low-density residential development, allocating residential development, and the future land use map. And as such, staff supports the recommendation of approval to the City Council from the local planning agency, which is you. AND I WILL GO AHEAD AND DO MY PRESENTATION FOR ITEM 6C, WHICH IS THE REZONING AND THE CONCEPTUAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT. NOW, THE PROJECT NAME IS CRESPON AS WELL. IT'S THE SAME OWNER AND THE SAME ENGINEER OF RECORD. SO THE REQUEST IS THE CONCEPTUAL PUD PLAN AND REZONING. IT'S REQUESTED TO CHANGE FROM THE INDY RIVER COUNTY A1 ZONING DESIGNATION, WHICH IS ONE DWELLING UNIT PER FIVE ACRES, TO PUDR, WHICH IS A PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT RESIDENTIAL, AND THE ACREAGE IS STILL 382.48 ACRES. AS WELL, HERE'S A LOCATION MAP OF THAT AGAIN. So the actual conceptual plan is proposing 900 single family lots with a density of 2.35 units per acre, which is consistent with the very low residential density, the three units per acre, which is, this is actually lower. Some recreation and open space requirements for PUDs, it's required to have a minimum of 50% open space. This is proposing 55%. And they will provide recreation in lieu for public park because this will be a private community. Some other public benefits will be extending the utility infrastructure as Mr. Tumut went over. Off-site roadway improvements along 69th. Land donations to the water control district on the south for a canal right-of-way. And some other matters, you know, some of the perimeter landscapes, landscape buffers around the community are larger than most of the subdivision requirements. It will buffer quite well. And some of the site plans that they have for the amenity tracks will have to come in for separate applications and approved administratively. As you can see here, here is the proposed conceptual master plan, and it is broken into five different phases. Most of the phases, like phase one and two, will be on the north side of the development, while three, four, and five will follow on the south. And provided as well for Mr. Tuma, this is kind of like a site layout of where the properties will line up with the right-of-ways of the streets, the amenity tracks, stormwater ponds, and it provides a more of like an accessible, more active and passive recreational development that people with the age restriction can actually enjoy the environment. So our recommendation tonight is that the Planning and Zoning Commission forward a favorable recommendation to City Council to approve the requested rezoning and to approve the conceptual PUD plan for Crestwind with conditions listed in the staff report. And what we'll do is we can kind of modify that first condition of the, with the applicant as directed by the commission. Is there anyone from the public who would like to speak?
No one has raised their hand. Thank you, Madam Chair.
Yeah, come back to me.
You know, in reviewing the material for this project, it's pretty extensive. And I just had a couple questions. I know it's in the early stage right now, but I see that the average price point on the individual units is $750,000, which is rather aggressive for this area. And I noticed that you mentioned in your presentation that the streets are going to be wider and the sidewalks are going to be wider. Will the community also be allowing golf carts and things like that for the community?
Yes. Yes, sir. I'm sorry. Yeah, thank you.
Well, he stole my thunder. I had the same questions about the sidewalks and the golf carts. That was a major concern of mine. So I will move on to my next question. You mentioned about the donation. You were before this board a couple weeks ago. Same thing, which I commend you on that. Very generous. Is this a second donation that you're making to the city of Sebastian in lieu of the annexation? Or is this the same one that you previously mentioned to us last time?
In clarification, sir, if I may, so both developers who have recently annexed property into the city have a very similar arrangement. The previous developer's arrangement was $2,500 per unit. Coulter is coming up with an upfront cost of $700,000. I think they'll run after me if I got the number wrong. $700,000, and then they're doing a $2,000 per unit donation to the recreation front. And the intent of that was to give the city cash up front for a project that they have proposed.
Okay, so to clarify, they are two separate projects. Yes, sir. Thank you.
Yes, sir. Is a private golf course? Yeah. But do you anticipate...
you know, vehicle traffic, you know, golf cart traffic going to the golf course or pedestrian traffic going to the golf course?
At this point, they are two separate projects, one in non-corporate Indian River County and a private golf club, and then we do not anticipate them being connected to our site.
Are you going to build this in phases? You're building this in phases? Yes, sir. So... Does the IRC utility or their fire department require you to keep a looped water distribution system at all times?
Mr. Mills is here, but I know I can answer that. We are required to have a loop system.
Okay, that's good. That's all I wanted to know.
Yes, sir.
The stormwater is going to flow north to the headwaters of the Sebastian River.
Mr. Mills has to answer that once. I get all three projects go in a different basin, so I'm going to let Mr. Mills answer that. Yeah, that's why I was kind of curious. He's coming up.
Good evening, Wesley Mills, Mills Short and Associates. Correct. Our stormwater will discharge to the San Sebastian River.
So that sea canal, so, I mean, do they anticipate any problems? Because there's going to be, obviously, the Grays Brothers got to go through their property now, so there's going to be construction going on. Are the...
YES, AS IT RELATES TO CONSTRUCTION, THE CANAL WILL BE OPEN AND FUNCTIONAL, AND AFTER OUR PROJECT IS CONSTRUCTED, THE DRAINAGE THAT WE DISCHARGE INTO LATERAL C WILL BE LESS THAN WHAT CURRENTLY DRAINS, BUT GRAVES BROTHERS WILL HAVE TO MAINTAIN DRAINAGE, NOT JUST FOR OUR PROJECT, YOU KNOW, ALL THE LAND THAT GOES INTO LATERAL C. OKAY.
THAT'S ALL I HAD.
OKAY.
ANY OTHER? OKAY. HI. A few questions. So first being, what are the proposed improvements along 69th Street?
I'll let Luke Lambert, our traffic consultant, he can come up and run through those.
Good evening. Good evening. Luke Lambert with Traffic and Mobility Consultants. On 69th Street, the project will have to construct a left turn lane into the site at the main driveway, and another left turn lane is proposed at 82nd Avenue.
okay so it's not necessarily improvements to like the cross section of the road widening or anything like that it's just the left turn lanes needed for the traffic you're generating so i believe that we will be improving the roadway to the county standards and then we will building the left turn lane to support the development okay and there are no other off-site improvements necessary with the development Okay, just for my clarity, so it sounds like the off-site improvements that you guys are proposing as a public benefit is the bringing the roadway up to county standards. Can you just kind of explain the length of that? Because I'm just curious, is it up to your access from a certain road to a certain road, or...
That was my bad. I started some conversation because I said it backwards. On 82nd, if the county project's not done, we're going to be paving to the entrance, and I apologize. I said 69th, but I meant 82nd. I apologize.
Okay. So 82nd from the southern property line to the access?
From 69th to... Got it. Okay. Okay.
I have a few questions as it relates to the open space.
Which one?
The open space breakdown. Oh, got it. Sure. And I apologize. I don't know what's going on with my, yeah.
Just back up from it a little.
Okay.
We're working on it. Okay.
All right.
All right.
Thank you. It's hard to kind of understand where all of these things are because I don't see it necessarily broken out of the map. So first, I guess, with the amenity parcel, is all of the 8.29 acres to be open space? Or is there buildings associated with the amenities?
I'm going to ask Wendy to answer that one. But I can answer the next question, which is the... Go ahead, please.
Good evening, Wendy Tuma with Urban Design Studio. The intent of the 8.25 acre amenity site would be where they would have their clubhouse, their pools, their courts, any entertainment areas that they have parking associated with that. So it's meant to be, they call it almost like a a cruise ship where all of the activities for the active adult people would be. That's where they would come and get their mail. That's where they would have meetings or play cards and stuff. That is the eight acres of the amenity, and then there's additional open space throughout the site that includes walking trails and the lakes.
I understood. I was going to get into the others, but I just wanted to clearly understand the amenity parcel because we have the whole 8.29 acres showing as open space, and I'm wondering, Jim, is it supposed to be the area not... To be, like... Oh, like impervious versus... Well, not necessarily impervious. Like, I understand there's sidewalks and stuff like that, but, I mean, being that it's going to be a building in a parking lot, is that still counted towards open space?
The parking lot will count for the amenity parcel itself, and open space requirements will kind of fall under, like, a lot of the other... tracks along the other areas. So in total calculation, it came out to like 55% of the entire development. But the 8.29
area i mean it won't count for like just open space it'll be amenities yeah okay that's kind of where i was going with it because like i feel like it should be broken out when you know the building piece of it and the parking piece of it however many acres that is right i understand you're at 20 55 but i think um clearly showing how much of that parcel is intended to be open space and how much of that is actually intended to be you know building and parking lot
And a lot of those details will come when we go to do the preliminary plat. And you'll see a lot of it broken down into individual tracks. And as well as, I mean, the site plans, this might be like more of a major site plan. So it may come in front of you again because most of the amenities will have to be site plan approved. And they'll actually show that on the actual site plan.
Understood. I think, I guess where I'm going with it is when you start subtracting some of these things out, will they still meet the 50%? So I guess my next question was with the open space within the right-of-way, that's 21 acres, that seems like a lot of acreage. Is that the right-of-way within the project or is that, I guess, if you could help me kind of understand where that's at.
That would have been the right-of-way within the project where we widened the right-of-way to have the wider sidewalks and pedestrian pathways and the tree-lined streets.
Okay, so within the 60-foot right-of-way, there's an assumption to be made of a certain number of Like five feet on each side, multiplied by the length.
Exactly, whereas that normally could have been constructed as a 50-foot right-of-way with a tighter section. When we expanded it, we took credit for that additional open space that the right-of-way is providing.
Okay. Yeah, thank you for that clarification. On the lake surface area... The lake surface area max of 30%, is that some sort of code driven? That's in the code, yes.
When you calculate your 50% open space, you only get to take credit for up to 30% of the water surface area.
Okay. And so that's where the 57 acres is coming, 30% of your total. Correct. Okay. Okay. so with the lot open space being 30 percent are you guys restricting house sizes our maximum lot coverage is restricted to 60 percent understood so essentially the the house is restricted in size correct okay um okay i think that's it sorry i have a lot of questions
We will now entertain motions and I need motion separately, please. One for B and one for C.
Madam Chair, if I may. So the first recommendation that I have within the staff report, we will work with the applicant in modifying that. It was under my assumption that all the amenities should have been done in the first phase, but I think a portion of that will be conducted, and I'll modify the condition when we take it to council.
