In response to the Commission's question regarding outside storage of ice machines, Mr. Sorensen said City Code prohibits any outside storage of goods and materials. Mr. Meadows asked the applicant to come forward. Mr. Mikel Isaac, 12101 NW 4th Street, Plantation, Florida came forward. A brief discussion ensued regarding the prohibition of outside storage of an ice machine on the site. Mr. Isaac said that he agrees with most of the conditions of approval; however, there are some additional conditions of approval that were not part of the original conditional use approval. He said the comment regarding fuel dispensing not commencing until the landscape plan has passed inspection was added and questioned if that could be removed from the conditions of approval. He said that most of the landscaping is a maintenance issue. Mr. Isaac said that the owner would like to open as soon as the final fire inspection is passed. Mr. Isaac said the site lighting comment was not part of the original approval. He said there are no changes being made to the lighting on the site and requested this condition be removed from the conditions of approval. Mr. Isaac explained that on the landscape plan that was submitted to staff it showed a tree being added on State Road 436. Mr. Isaac requested relocating that tree to the rear of the site because the tree would block the monument sign. A general discussion ensued regarding lighting levels in the City and possibly reviewing the lighting requirements due to safety concerns. The Commission discussed relocating the tree from State Road 436 to the rear of the site. A general discussion ensued regarding the time frame needed to complete the landscaping requirements and the condition of approval requiring completion of the landscaping before fuel dispensing can begin.
