Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency July 13, 2016 Page 5 In response to the Commission's question regarding the light intrusion on Plumosa Avenue, Ms. Hanna explained that the City Code regulates the light on the property. She said the City Code does not regulate lights from vehicles entering and exiting a site. Ms. Hanna stated that the applicant has submitted a photometric plan that meets City Code. Mr. Henson explained the City regulates the light trespass on to the adjacent parcels. A discussion ensued regarding adding a barrier to force a right hand turn on Plumosa Avenue, existing pedestrian connections, the Commercial General impervious surface ratio, and the compatibility of the future land use designation. In response to the Commission's question, Dr. Kelly Brock, Assistant Public Works Director, explained that Seminole County maintains the traffic signals in Casselberry. He said he spoke with the Seminole County Traffic Engineer regarding the signal at Plumosa Avenue and the County is looking at increasing the timing of that light. A discussion ensued regarding the headlight trespass to the residential properties and finding options for controlling speed in the neighborhood. Mr. Henson explained that the Planning and Zoning Commission makes a recommendation to the City Commission and the City Commission will make the final decision. In response to the residents' concern, Mr. Henson said that the Wendy's Restaurant on State Road 436 abuts residential. He said it is a fact of life that these conflicts will occur when you are located adjacent to a major road. He said that the City needs to find ways to mitigate the impacts to the adjacent properties but also needs to use the property available to the highest and best use. A discussion ensued regarding the economic feasibility of a professional office on this site, the higher impact of a convenience store and the location of the dumpster and the outside seating area. In response to the Commission's question, Mr. Bowe and Ms. Hanna reviewed the design of the drive thru queuing area. The Commission expressed a concern with the safety of employees in the queuing area. In response to the Commission's question regarding relocating the dumpster, Mr. Bowe explained that the owners of Cambridge Oaks would need to approve any changes to the site plan and there is an August 8, 2016 expiration of the due diligence. Mr. Bowe said they could request the change from Cambridge Oaks. He said the dumpster area was angled to accommodate the approach of the truck. Possible options for the dumpster location were discussed. Mr. Henson asked for a motion to address SPR 16-10. Mr. Bakalla made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission provide a favorable recommendation to the City Commission for Culvers (SPR 16-10). This recommendation is based on the site plan dated June 28, 2016, the findings of fact and conclusions of the information provided in the staff report
