A general discussion ensued regarding the heights for various buildings in Casselberry. Mr. Phillips asked the applicant to come forward, Mr. Francisco Montaner, South East Architects, 4310 West Broward Boulevard, Plantation, Florida came forward. There were no questions for the applicant. Mr. Phillips asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the request. Mr. Art Miles, 106 Carriage Hill Drive, Casselberry, Florida came forward to speak in opposition to the request. Mr. Miles said he thought that the proposed development was for a 5 -story building and not a 6 -story building. Mr. Miles stated that his home is directly behind the proposed development. He was concerned with the lack of trees on the site due to the size of the building and required parking. Mr. Miles requested that the Planning and Zoning Commission protect their neighborhood and to think about his community when making their decision. In response to the Commission's question, Mr. Miles said a two-story building would be reasonable for this parcel. Mr. Montaner said that the proposed development is a 5 -story building with a sun deck on the roof. He said they are proposing additional landscaping around the perimeter of the property to help provide more screening. A general discussion ensued regarding the height of the building, the impact on the property values for the properties in the Carriage Hill Subdivision, and the proposed landscaping. In response to Ms. Saporito's question, it was stated that the public was invited to provide input for the Oxford Park Overlay District requirements. Mr. Phillips asked for a motion to address ZB 20-06. Mr. Hale made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission provide a favorable recommendation to the City Commission for case number ZB 20-06 and the accompanying PUD Agreement. The recommendation is based on the staff report, findings of fact and conclusions, the testimony and evidence presented, that the request meets the applicable provisions of the Unified Land Development Regulations, and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan including Attachments A and B. Ms. Campbell seconded the motion. The motion passed with a 6 - 0 vote. Mr. Bakalla recused himself from voting due to a potential bias that the proposed development is adjacent to his community association. After a brief discussion, it was decided that case CU 21-05 should be heard before SPR 20-07. The agenda order was modified.
