Mr. Jonathan Tardif, Planner I, reviewed the information provided in his memorandum dated April 14, 2021 to the City of Casselberry Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Tardif said staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of case number SPR 21-01 to the City Commission, based on the staff report and 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 as per the written findings in the staff report. He said the conditions of approval are as follows: 1. The site plan shall receive approval from the City Commission prior to the commencement of any development. 2. The site plan approval shall be valid for one (1) year. An extension request may be submitted prior to the expiration of this approval. 3. Provide copies of all local, regional, state, and federal permits for the project to the City prior to commencement of development. 4. 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, Mr. Tardif stated he thought Geneva Legacy Lane and Grand Rue Drive were City streets but he would need to verify that information. In response to the Commission's question, Mr. Tardif reviewed the student drop off/pickup traffic circulation for the site. A general discussion ensued regarding installation of a traffic signal, sidewalk width, the landscaping requirements, traffic circulation and parking for future development. In response to the Commission's question, Mr. Tardif explained that the City would not require the school to install a gate at the Geneva Legacy Lane exit. Mr. Phillips asked the applicant to come forward. Mr. John Classe, 1775 Seminola Boulevard, Casselberry, Florida came forward. Mr. Classe explained that currently the elementary students are at the State Road 436 campus and it is the desire of the school to bring all the students to one campus. Mr. Classe reviewed the student drop off/pickup traffic circulation. Mr. Classe stated the school has plans to meet with Seminole County to discuss adding a traffic signal and other options to manage traffic on Seminola Boulevard.
