Hain not shown on plans and developer to consult with Utilities Department. A 6~ extension has been added as .previously requested. Since dumpster for the parking garage is not a major necessity it was agreed parking garage could share nursing home dumpster. Don Beachler - No comment. Ream Wilson - See attachment U2, - - addresses open space fee requirement which has been discussed with developer. A lengthy discussion followed regarding sidewalk location. Keith Crawford questioned why the sidewalks have been planned to be on hospital property rather than on City property and further commented that there has been a tendency for developers to locate sidewalks wherever it might be convenient to them at the time they are pouring. Mrs. Haeseker also commented on the meandering appearance of the walks as shown on the plan and questioned why these are not in City right of way. The architect advised that their primary concern was aesthetics and their desire to preserve the scenic ap- pearance of the area. From a practical standpoint Keith Crawford cited reasons why he preferred that sidewalks be properly located one foot from the property line. Mrs. Heaseker supported Mr. Crawford and then called ~~ the Committee for comments. Don Beachler stated City's biggest con- :~rn is liability and if Morton Plant provides City with easement so as to 'share in liability, he could see no problem with location of the walks on the hospital property. Mr. Marquardt, attorney for Morton" Plant felt that this would not be a problem but intended to research the matter further. Paula Harvey commented that purely from an environmental standpoint and ',aesthetic concerns the Planning Department had no objection to the side- . walks being on hospital property. Don Beachler informed the developer that if they provided the City with an easement, it would be expected that the hospital would assume full responsibility for maintaining the walks. It was agreed that Mr. Marquardt would consult with the City Attorney to work out any formal documentation required in location of sidewalks on the hospital property. MOTION: Paula Harvey moved to recommend approval of the ~inal site plan for the Morton Plant Parking Garage based on the findings of this Committee that the plan conforms with the design guidelines for site plan review sub- ject to the following conditions: Tpat payment of open space impact fees be made prior to certification of the final site plan; the improvement shown for the widening of pinellas Street will be the respon~ibility of the de&~loper; that special steps be taken to protect the ravine area during construction; 'J that the driveway entrances be designed as required by the Traffic en- gineer; 3/28/85 ----------- ...._......._---~-.- , ..-....

Paula .'~ rvey explained to th~ committee that our legal department and Bill Shepard were having difficuly getting the plat in an order so that it can be recorded. This is not a condominium. it is proposed to he a townhouse. Townhouse plats 'normally have access to roadway, specific requirements for minimum lot size, etc.' etc. This was previously before RDC and was formally recommended for approval. Has been approved by City Commission. It has been before the nOAA on ~onin9 and the Board did grant variances on minimum lot sizes but ) there has been no clarification on access requirements. Code requires a minimum of 20 ft. of paved access to a townhouso lot. Four of the units on northern side do not have this. This will have to go back to the Commission and Paula Harvey now asking RDC members for their recommendation to the Com- mission. After some discussion between members Chairman Haeseker polled the committee and the consensus was to support the request for a variance for the access width. ,Meeting adjourned. 1r!?~:.~: "~.:.
