PRELlMINARY SITE PI1\N
Cecil Henderson presented written conments which are attached as Item 1.
~ ~ Ayres asked how far will it be fran the pool to the farthest building? The
ProJect Manager, Mr. Lines, responded 350 feet to the farthest end of the building.
Mr. Ayres then asked if they were aware that the Health Deparbrent ~uld require
restroan facilities at the pool? Mr. Han"rrer responded yes, they were aware and
they ~u1d be located on the grolUld floor in one of the units which they will
convert for this Pw:Pose. 'lhis site is . above flood elevation. Mr. Ayres made
reference to sidewalks, which has been considered - five foot ooncrete sidewalks.
David Healey gave a brief stlI'CtTaIy stating the project was originally started by
the Field COrporation and SWire Properties has picked up the property and wants to
develop the rerrainc1er of the property. There is a court stipulated agreerrent as to
. the 'perinitted nurrber of units and builcling height on the property. No Camnmity
Inpact StateIrent:is required In that the nunber of mrits and other basic pararreters
of the developrrent were established. '!he public right-of-way opposite Harbor
'. Passage was dedicated as part of that original project with a reverter clause that
says if we ever build another causeway or bridge other than to cormect to Island
Estates in this location that this right-of-way will revert to the property a.-mer.

The deed, conveying the public right-of-way reserves right of access to the
property owner. There are four narrow parcels ~ the large parcel was divided
into tw:> nart'CM ones with the advantage to the developer of allCMing an extra
ten pexcent of building height. Also, at'} intel:pretation, concurred in by the
city Attomey, was It'ade that the maxirmJm two hundred fifty foot building length
applies in this instance to the d.irrension parallel to the roadway and waterway
rather than pezpendicu1ar to it.
Mr. Healey suggested the following:
. carport tmits should be cut back to coincide with the closest point
of the building to the street. 'Ibis would create a neater appearance.
. Parking spaces east of the drive be eliminated, providing greater
foreground for all buildings.
. Pool will be too close to the sea wall and should be relocated.

between Building D and wate.rnay "",uld be twenty foot setback along Island Way.
Building to be shifted to within fifteen feet of cul-de-sac.
Dave Healey questioned building height on Building D - hCM many floors? The
answer was six stories - fifty-five feet.
D:m M::erians asked if Traffic Engineering's request to close the median access
had been accarplished. He also questioned the c:overEid parking and whether it
would be cantilevered or would it have posts twenty feet out? Answer was that
typically it would have columns along the entry side. Next question was what
size will the parking stalls be? Answer was 9' x 19 I . . .Mr. Meerians recamended
9~ r x 19'.

Karen Wilson requested that drainage be designed so it drains into grass and
depress the grass ever so slightly and have it drain into the retention pond. Pet
walks are good.. .heM deep are your detention ponds--answer was b..u feet. Ms. Wilson
said she preferred two feet as any deeper caused weeds to grow.
Ream Wilson suggested contractor should restore nedians to original condition.
Paul Rett:iJl:. reCClJ'lt'EIlds wheel out durrpsters - front end loading collection. Please
work out with sanitation superintendent. Parcel #2 area :i.mrediately east covered

or provide other easerrents and relocate this service line and rreter. Also require
ease:rrent for new water mains to be taken over by the City.
