Mr. Wadley made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission sitting as the Local Planning Agency provide a favorable recommendation to the City Commission for LPA 13- 09 as amended and presented by staff at tonight's meeting including the amendment recommended by members of the Planning and Zoning Commission for LPA on page 2 Section 86 -3(a) that end of that sentence should read "prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy" rather than "until such time as the certificate of occupancy is issued ". Mr. Bryan seconded the motion. The Board was polled. Ron Bryan Yes Luis Guzman Yes Michael Wadley Yes Nathan Van Meter No Andrew Meadows Yes Stanley Weinroth Yes The motion passed with a majority vote Ninth Item of Business: Other Business. Tree Information Ms. Marie Regan, Planner II, presented a PowerPoint presentation (a copy is attached and made a part of the minutes). Ms. Regan stated that this information is for commercial properties only. A general discussion ensued regarding option 4 that was provided in the PowerPoint presentation and the Commission scheduling a workshop to allow for more public participation. Mr. Meadows asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the request. Mr. James Fraleigh, 23 Teresa Court, Casselberry, Florida came forward. Mr. Fraleigh felt the Commission was heading in the right direction but felt that both commercial and residential properties needed to meet the same requirements. He felt that the Tree Bank Fund was being used for as a source of extortion. He said the Cash for Gold site doesn't have any type of landscaping but then other businesses are required to have 20 trees. Mr. Fraleigh felt that requiring trees on commercial sites block the view of the businesses and causes a safety issue. Mr. Fraleigh said he was in favor of the Planning and Zoning Commission conducting a public workshop.
