Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency Minutes December 11, 2019 Page 4 Waivers: Request to reduce the two-way drive aisle from 20' per Section 3-15.6 to 18'. No parking will be directly on the driveway and rear parking spaces will be used by employees who are familiar with the configuration of the site. Additionally, employee only parking signs will be provided in the rear of the site. Staff supports this waiver to allow a sidewalk to traverse the property along the south side and provide safe and convenient pedestrian access to the site. Additional staff support is given due to the employee only signs being placed at the rear parking spaces and therefore directing customers to park up front, limiting the access and exposure to the 18' drive aisle. Conditions of Approval: 1. The applicant shall make a tree bank contribution in the amount of $19,699 prior to the issuance of any building permits. 2. All Public Works issues and comments must be addressed prior to issuance of a site permit. 3. All required local, regional, state, and federal permits shall be obtained before commencement of development. 4. The site plan approval shall be valid for one (1) year. An extension request may be submitted prior to the expiration of this approval. 5. All of the above conditions shall be fully and faithfully executed or the site plan shall become null and void. In response to the Commission's question, Ms. Hanna stated that the Seminole County Fire Department approved the reduced drive aisle. A brief discussion ensued regarding the location of the handicap parking space, the need for the sidewalk on the south side of the project, a concern for waste hauler vehicles due to the reduced drive aisle, and the dumpster enclosure material. In response to the Commission's question regarding requiring additional buffering to the east of the property, Ms. Hanna stated additional buffering is not required for the adjacent residential properties because this project is considered low impact and the retention pond also provides a distance buffer. Mr. Henson asked the applicant to come forward. Mr. Darcy Unroe, P. 0. Box 690942, Orlando, Florida came forward. In response to the Commission's question regarding the location of the handicap space, Mr. Unroe said he could relocate the handicap space on the site; however, the proposed location provides additional area for backing out without a car located adjacent to the space. Mr. Henson asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the request. No one came forward. Mr. Henson asked for a motion to address SPR 19-12. Mr. Phillips made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve SPR 19-12: Lake Howell Office Building based upon the staff report and the testimony
