CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of Jn n ary 23, 2012 — Regular Meeting Page 10 of 18 Recommendation: The City Manager and the Community Development Director recommended approval of Ordinancell -1366. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial (4-1) of the requested FLUM amendment. Mr. Anderson addressed the Commission and explained that the drawings in the presentation were very rough and not a fair representation of what the final product would be. He also emphasized his willingness to enter into a voluntary agreement with the City to address their concerns. Public Hearing: Mayor Glancy opened the public hearing relative to Ordinance 11 -1366. The following individuals came forward: 1. Ms. Brenda Monger, 15 Plumosa Avenue, spoke in opposition to Ordinance 11 -1366, expressing concerns about the reduction in value to surrounding properties if the applicant was given leeway to construct covered parking in lieu of enclosed garages. She also voiced her concerns about traffic, stating her feeling that a residential use would generate more traffic than a commercial use which only utilizes business hours. 2. Ms. Shailah Stewart 221 Lake Griffin Circle, spoke in opposition to Ordinance 11 -1366 and expressed concerns about traffic and speeding in the area which would be increased by changing the use to residential. 3. Ms. Leslie Yates, 241 Lake Griffin Circle, also spoke in opposition to Ordinance 11 -1366, reiterating the earlier concerns about traffic and speeding, and stating her preference for a commercial development on the site. 4. Mr. Mike Anderson, 105 Roaan Drive, Oviedo, applicant, stated lie wished he had more time to get a better drawing done, as he felt there would be fewer concerns if the Commission and residents could see what the final product would look like. He added that he felt he had addressed the City's concerns in the agreement, but wouldn't have a problem with doing away with covered parking if that was a major issue, and would also be willing to have the matter come back before the Commission for final approval of the design, even though it is not required. No one else came forward. Mayor Glancy closed the public hearing relative to Ordinance 11 -1366. Discussion: Discussion ensued regarding several issues, including the terms of the proposed agreement with the applicant design criteria for multi - family residential use, the question of possible commercial development, traffic concerns, the effect the proposed use would have on the surrounding areas, and whether this type of development was in keeping with the Commission's vision for this area. MOTION: Commissioner Solomon moved to deny Ordinance I1 -1366 on first reading, as presented. Motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Hufford. Motion carried 3 -2 by voice vote (Mayor Glancy and Commissioner Miller dissenting).
