Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency Minutes August 10, 2022 Page 7 Mr. Ed Williams, Williams Development Services, 300 West Plant Street, Winter Garden, Florida came forward. He said he is a land planner representing the largest property owner in the northwest quadrant of US Highway 17-92 and State Road 436. Mr. Williams said that location is no longer a general retail location and businesses will not succeed in that area. He said the property needs a destination commercial center. He said this location with the overpass cannot sustain those businesses. Mr. Williams said that the site does not provide the access and visibility the businesses need to succeed at this plaza. Mr. Williams said BJ's is interested in locating in the Casselberry Exchange Shopping Center. Mr. Williams felt that the remaining outparcels could succeed at this location with a destination facility. He urged the Planning and Zoning Commission to support this proposal and continue with the development in the City. Mr. Brad Markovitz, owner of Casselberry Liquors, 130 State Road 436, Casselberry, Florida came forward. Mr. Markovitz said his business has been in Casselberry for ten years. He felt that he was in touch with the community and didn't feel that BJ's was a good fit for Casselberry. Mr. Markovitz felt that the overpass was good for the community. A general discussion ensued regarding the impact of the overpass, the flexibility with the proposed changes, the proposed land use changes, large retail establishments, and the OPOD Standards. Mr. Hale asked for a motion to address LPA 22-06. Mr. Burnett made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission provide a favorable recommendation to the City Commission for LPA 22-06 to provide amendments to the Oxford Park Overlay District Standards including Attachment A. Ms. Divita seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. Ninth Item of Business: LPA 22.07: Amendments to Standards for Large Retail Establishments.
