Part of that re uh procedure requires that anyone who is to give any testimony before us, in other words, speak to us um needs to fill out an oath card um because you would be attesting that any factual information you give is indeed the truth. Um, so if any of you plan to speak to us, the cards are right on the table at the back if you'll just get one and fill it out and it's it just has your name and your address and says that you are going to speak the truth. Okay. Um, we also have a time limit for speakers of five minutes. Um, we can extend that period if all of the commissioners agree that they would like to hear more from a person, but um, in order to get home and tucked safely away in bed, we before midnight, we limit it to five minutes. Although you don't look like a midnight crowd to me. Okay. The f the first um part of our business tonight is to approve the submission of the minutes from our previous meeting. Commissioners have all had an opportunity to review the minutes and if you find anything that needs addition or correction, please bring it

34:01 – 34:370

Madame Chairman, I'll make a motion that we accept the minutes from the September 4th, 2025 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting as is. Looking for a second. I was absent, but I can second it. Okay, we have a motion and a second. All in favor? I. Any opposed?

34:34 – 35:330

Okay. Okay, we do not have a public uh uh planning agency hearing tonight, but we do have a planning and zoning commission quai judicial meeting. If our attorney would read the subject for us, please. Thank you. Um, tonight's hearing is a quasi judicial hearing, public hearing on a site plan for 99th Street Storage, 6075 99th Street RV and Boat Storage with 140 covered parking, 450 square ft, office and associated site improvements. I in Industrial Land use in Industrial Zoning District.

35:30 – 36:000

Thank you. Do have any of the commissioners had any exparte communication um or any conflicts or site visits? Please identify that now. I went by the site. You were at the site. I I like drove drove by the site. The site. Okay. But I didn't have any communication with anybody. Okay. I also drove by the site. No communication with anyone.

35:57 – 36:160

Okay. Anybody else? Okay, I will now call for um the applicant to make the presentation.

36:25 – 36:410

Hi, my name is Angie Vidder. with MBB engineering spell. Sure. B is in Victor. I T E R. Thank you. I should be speaking here. Here's the mic. Sorry about that.

36:39 – 38:330

Um I just wanted to thank the commissioners for being here and for reviewing our project. I really appreciate your time and thank you so much staff for all the help on the project and for reviewing it as well and helping us. Um, we are developing a project for a local owner and business developer and they are building a RV and boat storage. You think I could put this up somehow instead of me? Oh, there we go. Okay. So, this is the site plan. It's about It's a 4.5 acre parcel and we're developing 3.8 acres. It is going to be mostly covered storage for RV and boats. There are some areas that are open storage in the back. And on the west side, this is actually north is facing to the right. So the west would be up on the sheet. And we have some covered storage in the middle of the middle of the project and to the east next to the railroad tracks. The site has an 8ft opaque fence around the project where it abuts the residential district. Um that way it's provides a nice buffer for them or meeting the landscape buffer requirements of 10 ft around those areas as well. And we have a little office in the front to go in and do the business coordination. There'll be access through a gate for them to park their storage. And this is long-term storage parking for RVs and boats. Uh we're saving as many trees as we can that are out there. It is actually pretty open. Um but around the edges, we're saving all the trees that we can. And we have plenty that we're adding as well. Let me see if I can go to the next sheet somehow. Maybe.

38:300

Can you speak out louder, please? Yes, sure. Can't hear you.

38:36 – 40:350

I'm sorry. Was that better? I didn't realize it was. Now you can hear me. Okay, this is still loading actually. Move up a little. Okay, there we go. So this shows a little bit more clearly where the pavement is, where the cover the cover storage is, the bluish gray in the middle and to the east. And then the kind of gray that looks a little strange that like um I know feathered I would say that is the storm water management retention system. It's a gravel product that the water infiltrates and it's got storage in there and it'll infiltrate into the ground. The soils here are really great for infiltrating storm water. So, it'll be captured and, you know, it'll stay on the site. It's not meant to discharge at all. It's supposed to stay on site and go into the ground through that system. And those little white rectangles are RVs and they're um going to park. Um, and some of them are parked. And you can see the trees that we're adding and some of the shrubs. And this is just the north side. This is the developed area that we're showing you here. The property does go further further south, but it's just to remain undeveloped at this time. And there's 99th Street at the top of the page. That's to the north. Now, the office is in the northeast corner. And there are already a lot of existing utilities around that we are connecting to or utilizing. And we're bringing in water service from 99th for the storage for the office building and then for some um pedestals to wash the RVs. There's a a pedestal there. So that's there's not much utilities on this cuz really just

40:33 – 40:530

storage there. It's not a place where they're going to live or anything. It's only storage. I know I'll wait for questions. I'm sure you have lots of questions, but I think that might be it for me. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Uh staff presentation, please.

40:56 – 42:550

Hi, good evening. My name is Jim Man. I work with the community development department. And uh as Miss Vidder was explaining, this is a um RV boat storage that is being proposed on the south side of 99th Street in between Breezy Village and an existing storage unit complex. Um this is 140 parking spaces uh with a 450 ft office that has three spaces accommodating the office. Um it is located on a 4 1/2 acre site. Um so going through the process of like reviewing this uh utilities, engineering, building and planning have approved some of the amenities on the site and the development of this. It meets all of the land development code um considerations within it. The some additional considerations that we had for the site. Um, so the landscaping buffer that's located on the east side that's directly contiguous to the existing um, storage unit complex has been reduced to 5 ft to accommodate the development of the site. And as per code, this will be something that the planning and zoning commission would need to approve to reduce that 10-ft landscaping buffer requirement to five. But in the code, it does state that with a landscaping buffer on a an adjacent property that is more than five feet that it can be reduced. So that might be something we're going to be proposed for condition of approval for the site. Another consideration that we took in for this site plan was the the perimeter buffer requirements. Um, they're proposing a 8ft opaque style, probably a PVC style fencing along the residential zoning districts contiguous to this property. Um, so this is something that

42:52 – 44:500

can be administratively approved by our community development director per code and she has went ahead and done that also and it will help with the buffer for the residents of the Breezy Village community. Also some other considerations that we are taking in account are the easement access for the residential property owners. On the south side, there is a landscape easement um that will still remain in perpetuity with the agreement of the development of the property. So, the Breezy Village residents can still access property to the to the east of this. Um, there is also a recorded easement for an Alfred Mage that was actually modified for the site plan for u the development of the site plan to accommodate the owner that he could actually access this parcel um that is directly east of this development. It used to be what a like a sprint communications um area that the owner had purchased and he still needs access to that site. So that easement will remain in place for the development and for the operational use of this site. Um in conclusion, so the site plan is consistent with our comprehensive plan comprehensive plan for the land use and the land development code. Um so staff does recommend that the proposed store site for 99 street storage um located at 607599 street um be approved with the following considerations or conditions. The planning and zoning commission approved the reduction of the 10-ft landscaping buffer to a 5- foot landscaping buffer per section 54-3-14.11A9

44:52 – 45:390

of the land development code as well as approve the site lighting plan as is. But if complaints are received from the residents regarding site lighting that additional shielding may be required on the light fixtures to reduce that lighting. Also on-site wash down and dump stations shall be regularly cleaned and pumped out per the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the Florida Department of Health standards on schedule and maintenance for this. And if you guys have any questions, I am here for you.

45:35 – 45:520

Okay. Thank you. Um, this is the time when our commissioners can ask questions of the applicants and or the staff. And would you like to start?

45:49 – 46:420

I would. Uh, and this is directed at staff uh, specifically, but under item two, I'm curious as to the thinking about leaving the lighting plan as is and then if there's complaints to come back and address that later, why not just go ahead and address that now? So, there's no complaints. So the the phototric plan that was submitted with the plan does meet our code standards and is approved. But in addition to that, if there were still some complaints from the residents from Breezy Village that we're placing this as kind of like a backup and if there are complaints about the site lighting still um affecting the residents that the owner of this storage unit will have to provide shielding to reduce

46:41 – 47:190

all of that. Is that based on one complaint, two complaints or 10 complaints? I mean, it could be somebody that's directly contiguous to this site. Yes, they can do one complaint and we should be fine. And that's Thank you, Mr. Roberts. Yes. I uh I had a question about reducing this buffer. Is it for the whole property or just the one side where there's an existing storage facility?

47:16 – 47:530

It's just along the eastern uh property line of this property. The 10ft landscaping buffer will remain on the rest of the site. It's just contiguous along the uh existing storage unit facility on the east side. So it'll be there'll be a buffer plus the plastic fence or some kind of opaque fencing. Correct. between the facility and the the neighborhood. Yes, this is just the the reduction of the 10-ft requirement to a 5ft reduction or to a 5ft total.

47:50 – 48:310

Okay. On that one that one corner. Okay. And um the only other question I had was if they looked into traffic going into that facility as yet. Yes, they did submit um a portion of the traffic the it did not break any threshold for for a full traffic analysis to be approved by the county. So, the trips will remain minimal for this. Okay. Cuz I mean there's the railroad tracks and then it's a it's a small neighborhood back there to be moving in large, you know, RVs and boats and vehicles. They

48:28 – 48:540

um no off-site improvements were considered for this, but I don't think it's needed. I think they'll still have the radiator turn in for the development itself. They've already looked into that. They Yes. Okay. Okay. I think those were all my my questions at this time. I have no questions.

48:51 – 49:300

Okay. Well, I've got two main concerns and noise. Trucks pulling boats, RVs, they're going to be noisy. I know there's going to be a fence. There's going to be um vegetation buffer. Will it be enough? And fumes fumes from the RVs. Um, don't know what your answer could be about that, but those are my main concerns. I

49:27 – 50:190

I think the applicant has done um a great job and for providing the the 8ft height for the opaque fence and additional landscaping on the western boundary to kind of mitigate the noise. Um, as for the fumes, I I don't have an answer for that. I mean they may um they could maybe possibly at you know include like a an hour limitation on you know just operating hours of when the vehicles can be ran. I don't know if this I don't believe this is a 24 access um storage facility. that would have to be answered by the applicant, but um they would have to work in with the operating hours for the for that reason.

50:25 – 51:060

I have a lot of questions about the on-site utilities. I'm having a hard time reconciling the utility plan. Um the the topography survey didn't even show the two hydrants. Is that going to be a problem? Is those hydrants necessary for the development of this project for fire? Are they going to have to have those fire hydrants? Also, the water lines, they also show water lines under existing homes. I I I'm having a hard time believing that this the utility plan is right. Is is the county review these plans? Do you know?

51:04 – 51:430

So all the site plans and subdivisions that come through our process is reviewed by the county utilities department. They they have ownership of this. They do own the utilities. Yes. And they are um they have approved the utilities plans as being shown. The lift station access is now going to be from the north as opposed to the south. You're they're vacating the lift station access for this plan. So they're going to have to access through So um

51:49 – 52:330

maybe if um Miss Feder can you answer that question for us? Hi Angie V again. Um, for the lift station access, there isn't actually, well, the surveyor didn't uncover a specific easement for that lift station. The the access easement that we are talking about is actually in favor of Mr. Mage is a piece of property that is isolated on the east of this project. So, the lift station access will be through the easements of the sanitary sewer lines. Um, that's what they have. The county has had us add sanitary sewer easements on our project and so

52:31 – 52:440

on the site plan though that was actually gonna be one of my questions. I don't see any sanitary sewer easements shown. It might have been an update on the utility plan. I have the plans. Let me go grab them.

52:41 – 53:250

Okay. And these are existing gravity sewer lines that are already owned by the utility department by in River County Utilities. They just asked us to show easements. Let me see if they're on the plans that I have. Put it here. Yeah, sure. Okay. Yeah, it is shown on this plan. I don't know if it's shown on yours. What's that? On the utility plan. On the utility plan. And it might be easier to see if you look at C12.

53:25 – 54:270

Okay. So, how are they really supposed to I mean, you're saying the county approved this because it it terminates at the adjacent property. So, how would they be able to access? Well, the lift station, sorry, the lift station is actually at the north of the storage unit that's owned or storage space that's owned by Breezy Village. So, the access to station is probably best accessed through there. Maybe I if I have to hit something to get it to Oh, yeah. There we go. Right. These lines right here, those are the those are those are the utility. Those are the gravity sewer easement. They're 10 foot. Do you see it going around lines and all of again all these lines are existing? They just didn't have record of actual easements being on them.

54:25 – 55:070

Yeah. Yeah, but they're already owned by So, I guess with this revision, you're the county asked for 10-ft utility easements over the existing lines as they're shown. Yes. Here. Okay. I guess can you show me like how the county would access I feel like the county would need to access it through this access eent because it's the lift station is here. right here. This is the lift station and it's at the north side of their storage unit. Their storage space.

55:05 – 55:480

Um, it wouldn't be able to be accessed through Mr. Mage's property. I don't think I mean maybe. I don't know. Guess it's up to the county how they're going to do that. That driveway right there. I think that was the new access. Yeah. I don't know. They're they weren't concerned about that. It's it's owned and operated by the county and they didn't ask us to provide a specific access easement to that. I mean that's off our property and that's probably why. Um but the I mean the owner is willing to to work with them if they if we need to add it. And I know this isn't what you asked but I meant to say this in my presentation. This easement here kind of to see

55:46 – 56:280

that is the revised access easement for Mr. Mage, but we can reroute that to the north to 99th Street. And Mr. Mage and the owner of the project are willing to do that. And so that could actually be a potential way for them to access the lift station um if that is needed. So it keep along here and then it would just go north to 99th Street. Yes. Because they're going to have a landscape buffer on the south side. They're no longer going to be all come through that way. Are you talking about here? Yes. Yeah, there's a landscape buffer, but there's a break in the landscaping there. Okay.

56:27 – 57:010

For access. Yeah. We're not preventing access that way. Although, he does prefer to go Mr. Mage prefers to go to the north anyway, but if access is needed this way, it'll still be open. There won't be any trees or shrubs there or anything. It's flush. There's not a curb or anything. So, so yeah, I guess I I just had a another question. Um, as far as the sewer tiein, um, can you show where you're connecting to the existing sewer on your Yeah, they have the plan, but they're Yeah,

56:59 – 57:340

it's on a different sewer line that's up behind the houses. [Applause] So, I guess where it's shown right now looks to be off of the property. Was that in intentional? Yeah, that was requested by the county for us to connect in this location and that is owned by them that sewer line. So, they requested that we connect in that location.

57:32 – 57:580

Okay. So, the line's owned by them and there's an easement over it. It does the easement extend all the way to the property line? Uh, I don't have that information at this moment, but that was what they asked us to do. Okay. But I guess what I'm getting at is like it would be on an adjacent property. So, you would need if the there wasn't an easement over it, you would

57:55 – 58:330

you would need to confirm that you're able to construct that. So, I guess one of my thoughts is you do have, you know, a line further down on the property that you could potentially connect to further. Yeah, that's originally where we had it going to connecting. Oh, wait. Let me go. You can't see it. Originally had it connecting here uh with a Y connection, but the utility department requested that we move it here. So, I understand your concern and we can we can coordinate with that owner and the utility department and confirm that that is an acceptable location. I mean, not an acceptable location.

58:32 – 58:500

Let them know that, you know, that that's the location. Let's show the easement. But this is what the what was requested and approved by in river to our own utilities. So this is the direction that we're going and we can follow up on easements. Okay with that owner

58:53 – 59:180

and then I guess my other question as far as easements are concerned there are a lot of areas where the existing sanitary kind of runs along where you're showing the buffer. Mhm. Um, is that going to conflict with what you're able to plant in those areas? That has been taken into consideration. It's an existing line and it's pretty deep. Okay.

59:17 – 1:00:170

So, yeah. And he's looked at if it's close to it, he usually does palms or something that that wouldn't have the the big roots like an oak. Um, so yeah, that has he's we always consider the utilities when doing a landscape plan design. I need to leave water houses. Uh, I was also wondering, so it looks like some of the wells were abandoned and now they're using that 2-in water line that goes, it's going to be underneath the 2-in water lines. They're going to service those homes. Do we

1:00:15 – 1:00:520

We're not We're not changing any of the existing water lines that are out there. Um so we just have past asbuilt record data for all those lines that we're showing but it's more forformational purposes. We are adding our own water service directly connected. No I know understand you are but in the future these people may have a problem if they have to access if they have a water break or something on that 2-in water man who's going to be responsible for going into the um it's the county. I think it would be the county in your river. I don't understand the county, but that's that's why I'm kind of

1:00:50 – 1:01:210

curious that they approved the plans with the only a 2-in water line underneath the that pvious rock. That's going to be so hard to Yeah, that 2in water line was a was originally this this property was originally going to be a not a second phase, but a phase of Breezy Village, right? And didn't become that obviously. And so that line was a future line, the twoinch water line. So, how are the their service now? because it's the hope survey said the wells were abandoned. So how

1:01:19 – 1:02:030

I'm sure the service comes from 99th. There's a water man in 99th that they're connected to and there's fire hydrants throughout Breezy Village. It's not from from our property. It'd be it would be from the west from Breezy Village. Okay, that's all the questions I have. Okay, thank you. Anything addition though, Miss Bis, I'm done. Sorry. I I stepped in when he had utility things. So, we we allow sharing, but only if you do it out loud. Yes, that's it. Do you have anything more then? No, that that's

1:02:01 – 1:02:460

okay. I just have a couple of questions for you. Um, you indicated that this is for long-term Yes. storage and uh I guess I have a question about that. Um, when you say long-term storage is, so I can picture this, does somebody sign a lease to park there for an annual or are is this like a you could store it for the next two weeks and then you can take it out and then you could come back and put it in for two more weeks. I mean, I think that I actually can't speak to that specifically. the owner would have to. But okay. Um the idea is to have it as long-term storage, but they could go in and access if they're going to go on a trip and they want to go grab it

1:02:45 – 1:03:220

or they're going to go out for the weekend on the boat, they could go get it. It's not um you know, it's not like you're going to store it and not access it for a year. But it's meant to be a place to store it. You know, instead of storing at your home, you're storing it here. Got it. In space. That that was my question because I have um more of a problem with the ones that get parked and then not even looked at for the next 10 years and they just decay there. Oh, sure. Yeah. No, I mean I don't that's not the intention for sure. It's more just, you know, to have it to be able to use it but can't store it at your home owner.

1:03:19 – 1:04:050

Um I also have a question regarding the PVC fence. Uh recently I have observed um beautiful PVC fences going up all over town and two years later they look like heck. Maintenance of the PVC fence. I I think we need to have some concern about maintaining the PVC fence so that it stays clean and um isn't tipping over and and slats falling out of it because the sun has roasted the the things. I can we include a maintenance? Uh

1:04:04 – 1:04:370

if that's something that you want to add to the conditions of approval, we can add that if you wish. All right. Thank you for that. And it's important for the project because it's security for them. You know, the the fence was is an important part of it and they would want to maintain it and keep it secure. I I know that that would be the the intent of but sometimes people only do what they're required to do and we don't we want to make sure that they're required to do the right thing. Thank you. Okay. Sure.

1:04:33 – 1:05:180

Thank you. That's all of my questions. Um sorry, one one other question. Does long terterm storage and short-term storage have like different calculations as far as as far as the average daily trips? Um, I would have to talk with the traffic engineer. I'm not I'm not sure. I'm just curious if that was I could see what we have written down here. Let's see. Um, so now it's just industrial warehouse storage that we have 119 average daily trips.

1:05:17 – 1:05:540

Okay. Can you read that? Am I have it on the right thing? There we go. So essentially 60 a day, right? Okay. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Thank you all. I appreciate it. Can Can I ask one more question? Yes, you can. Okay. Sorry. Did we um Was there any information about how long the lights are going to be on at night? Are the lights 24 hours?

1:05:53 – 1:06:360

I actually cannot answer that question. I thought the owner No, he's not here. I thought he would be here. Um so I I actually cannot answer. I don't think it would be the intention to leave them on all night, but I like I said, I I can't answer that. My apologies. And it may have been in here. Do we know how tall the building's going to be? Yeah, the canopy is 14 ft. It's open. It's not. And the building itself, I think, was around that, too. Um, and the lights would be on the canopy. Yeah. And they're underneath the canopy. They're not, you know, on the sides or anything. The proposed building height is only 15 ft. What was that? The proposed building height is only 15 feet

1:06:33 – 1:06:440

and then the fence is 8 ft. So that's a great buffer for that. Okay. Thank you.

1:06:40 – 1:08:230

Thanks. Okay. Thank you. The next section of our meeting is for input um from those folks on the floor who want to give us some input. And again, if you're going to speak to us, you're welcome. Please make sure that you when you come to the microphone, you speak into the microphone and give your name. And if it is more complicated than Smith or Jones, maybe spell it for our secretary. Just if you're ready, if if no one wants to speak, we'll move on. Yes. Hello, my name is Gary Oberdorf and I am the vice president of the Breezy Village HOA. I just want to clarify the president can't be present because he's in Pennsylvania right now. I just he had three things he wanted me to make sure were clear and I believe that they have been cleared but I'd just like to hear it. Uh originally they proposed that the uh rightway for Al Mage's property was going to go from his property south along our fence line to our access to our RV lot. Uh, if I heard correctly, that has now been corrected and he is actually going to come out of his property and go north through the their storage unit to access 99th Street. Is that correct?

1:08:23 – 1:09:020

Yes. Okay. And uh the right away the lights he mentioned that if the lights become a problem that they will shade them so that they don't infringe upon the property. Um it was something else but now I can't remember it. But anyway those were the the the rightway and the lighting was was the main thing. Oh, and our rightway still remains as it is to access our storage units. Okay, that was all I needed to know. Thank you, sir.

1:09:13 – 1:09:300

Hello, my name is Gail Blesnner. I'm Could you spell that please? last name B I E L I Z N A. Thank you.

1:09:27 – 1:10:040

You're welcome. And I'm in Breezy Village on 98th Road. Um I just have a couple questions. Will the lights be on the top of the buildings? Um because the building's going to be 14 to 15 ft high. So are they going to be on poles or are they going to be I tried to figure out the plans.

1:10:06 – 1:11:010

So if you can go ahead and just give all your questions and then the applicant or staff will get you an answer. Okay. Um, that was that what is um being done with I know there's a number of tortoises on that property. Um, who's taking care of that and or where are they going? Cuz I know there's at least three to five out there. I can respond to that if it's okay. Nobody builds anything without a tortoise inspection. And the tortoises are properly removed by licensed people and located on brand new tortoise residences established by the state.

1:11:00 – 1:11:440

Okay. And I might also tell you that that is an extremely expensive process. Yes, I've heard that. So, okay. And what kind of um do we have a 10 foot buffer from where the fence is going to be be in their property and then we have 10 ft for Breezy Village. question. Um, if you can set up.

1:11:42 – 1:12:130

Okay. So, the landscaping buffer that's located along the breezing village side, it's going to be 10 ft within their property and then the fence will be along the property lines in between the two. Okay. Thank you. And also in regards to the lighting, um there will be some there will be a mixture of lighting for underneath the canopies as well as pole lights. Pole lights. Okay. Okay. Thank you.

1:12:16 – 1:12:540

Anyone else? Can I come back? Yeah, we you didn't use your whole five minutes. So, come on. Thank you. Uh, I just got a text from the HOA president and he just wants to clarify that there's going to be seven lights on 20ft poles. That is correct. Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

1:12:50 – 1:13:350

Anyone else? Hi, Bill Holy Cross at 9890 61st Terrace. Would you tell me your last name again? Yes, Holy Cross. Just like it sounds. H O L Y C R O S. Uh I don't know if I heard or didn't hear access. Is it 24-hour access? Is that what was said or not? To get in there, they didn't specify the hours of operation. for this project. Okay, that's that's a little important, you know, when we live right there. So, I don't know. I thought I heard something said about 24 hours, but I didn't know if it was what it was.

1:13:33 – 1:14:160

Uh I believe one of the commissioners had asked about the noises for the vehicles traveling in and out, and I believe they have to keep it within the hours of operation. I don't think it's a 24-hour access. Okay. The only other thing is during the construction there's some kind of timeline as far as when they could start in the morning and you know certain time to stop in the evening because it's going to be some heavy equipment in there. So we just didn't know we got people you know lined up there that want to stay or sleep or whatever as long as it's reasonable. I didn't know if there's any anything about that as far as working times. Uh so basically they can do construction from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. during the week and 8 to 5 during the weekend.

1:14:14 – 1:14:320

Okay. All right. I guess that's me. You can sleep in on Saturday. What's that? You can sleep in on Saturday. An extra. Well, I don't anyway thinking about others. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And Yes, sir.

1:14:37 – 1:15:150

Hello everybody. My name is Doug Holloway. I'm at uh 9896 uh 61st Terrace. Uh my question is uh what's your projected start date of construction and finish time? Any idea? I I we I don't but yeah they intend to start within a few weeks after approval. So it could be in three weeks from now and then to a month and then um it'll take about six months. So we talking uh November, December. Yeah. September, October start and then it'll be March or April finish.

1:15:13 – 1:15:550

Finish. Okay. I also uh Airbnb my place maybe four or five perhaps sometimes six months a year and I was wondering what type of effect it might have on my guest during that time. You're just going to have to warn them. I'm I'm just thinking that if I got to stay in your house for four or five months, I would probably wouldn't complain about anything.

1:15:55 – 1:16:330

I mean, there may be some, you know, road signage and construction entrance signage along 99 Night Street that, you know, that may hinder driving down the road. But I mean it the ongoing project should only last about 6 months and hopefully it shouldn't deter the guests from staying at your Airbnb. Not something we should be speculating on. I'm sure it wouldn't be any more problem than the FedEx trucks, [Laughter]

1:16:28 – 1:16:560

the Amazon trucks, the UPS trucks. Hello Joanne Boyd 975561st Terrace. Did your last name B O Y D Boyd?

1:16:53 – 1:17:320

I have the same concern as one of these gentlemen. Why don't they just put the if they're going to be 20 foot lights on poles, why don't they do the shades or whatever to begin with? Because it wouldn't be very much fun to live on I live on other side of the street other than these people and I wouldn't want to have bright lights shining in my home all evening. So that's my one concern. Thank you.

1:17:34 – 1:18:120

To answer that to answer that question. Uh Miss Boyd, the phototric plan has been approved as like as a best case scenario. But the the condition of approval is to kind of if it is not enough that additional shielding will be required on the owner's part to provide well and it's going to be in the owner's best interest to do that because one complaint will be bringing it back for a violation of site plan potentially. Yeah.

1:18:09 – 1:18:350

Okay. And Jim, real quick, when you when you said the photometrics was approved, it met all of the codes as far as the um readings at the property line. Correct. Okay. Yes. Anyone else? Do we have any callers on Zoom?

1:18:31 – 1:19:050

Yes, I do. Good evening. My name is Kim Cross. C R O SS as in Sam. I am from Breezy Village. Um, and I am actually wondering about the lights like Joanne just said. Um, and I had another question and now I don't remember what it was. Could

1:19:12 – 1:19:570

Could you repeat your name, please? Cross. See you. P R O SS as in Sam. Kim. Thank you. That's the only one. Thank you. Anyone else? That was it. Thank you. And just for the future, we there's not supposed to be any more um public input via Zoom for Quasi Judicial, but we'll let it go forward. I wasn't aware of that. I'm sorry. Council had determined that, but we'll just make sure that's fixed in the future.

1:19:56 – 1:20:100

Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Does the applicant wish to respond in any way to anything?

1:20:13 – 1:20:280

Thank you all for your time tonight. I really appreciate it and all the comments are wellreceived and the conditions that have been presented by staff would be acceptable to the applicant. I appreciate your time.

1:20:25 – 1:22:040

Thank you. Additional summary by staff. So in summary, um staff does recommend approval for the proposed site plan for 99th Street Storage located at 607599th Street subject to the following conditions. As read before, the planning and zoning commission approved the reduction of the 10-ft landscaping buffer to a 5-ft landscaping buffer per section 54-3-14.11 alpha 9 of the land development code. Second, approve the lighting plan as is and if any complaints are received from the residents regarding the site lighting that additional shielding will be required on the light fixtures. Third, the on-site wash down and dump station shall be regularly cleaned, pumped out per the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, FD, and the Florida Department of Health, FDOH, for schedule regulations. And number four, um, grant a utility easement to the county to access their sewer lines running east west or any sewer lines that they need to be accessed along the site. And five, um, to maintain the PVC fence along the residential district lines.
