Planning & Zoning Commission( Local Planning Agency March 12, 2014 Page 4 Mr. John Casselberry, 700 South Lost Lake Lane, Casselberry, Florida came forward. In response to Mr. Casselberry's question, Mr. Sorensen stated that the City would retain ownership of their property. He suggested using a joint access drive and adding a boat ramp for emergency access for the Fire Department. A general discussion ensued regarding the applicant providing more detailed information for the proposed project. Ms. Smith clarified that it was previously presented as a six story building; however, due to parking requirements it will require the height of the building to be reduced. She said the renderings were not provided at tonight's meeting because the item before the Planning and Zoning Commission is to review the future land use change and the rezoning. In response to the Commission's question, Mr. Ramseur said they have completed a very extensive market study for assisted living facility demand in the Central Florida area. Mr. Ramseur distributed a proposed rendering for the PRD (a copy is attached and made a part of the minutes). He said they are trying to unify this so that the PRD concept will work within the confines of the City's requirements. He said that they were not prepared tonight to provide any information regarding the vertical construction because tonight's agenda item is to review the land use change and rezoning. In response to the Commission's question, Mr. Ramseur said that a three story building would work financially for the development. He said there are no intentions to go higher than 4 stories. A general discussion ensued regarding the height of the building, the Commission's option to recommend changes to the PRD's standards including height restrictions, decorative material for the fence /wall, an equitable cross access agreement and adding parking requirements for an independent living facility.
