Motion seconded by Cecil Henderson `
1
Discussion - Mr. Nisk expressed a concern about the six
month requirement for the issuance of a building permit. Fie
advised that he had made a donation of the property to a
charitable organization (UPARC), and that UPARC might have
difficulty in raising sufficient funds to be in a position to
apply for a building permit within the six month period. t
Discussion ensued. Mrs. Harvey advised that the six months would t
start from the date of approval of the Final Site Plan and that
approval could not be given until the Open Space and Recreation
fees were paid. Mr. Nisk was advised that if there was
justification for an extension, it was a matter of going back to
the City Manager with a request that the plan be revalidated. f

Motion to approve was then voted on and motion carried

FINAL SITE PLAN - CONT114UED
Bob Maran - Distributed written Comments (Item #6)
?. Ed Bethel -- Requested that the working drawings, when submitted
for a building permit, show a site lighting plan. Mr. Bethel
distributed written comments. (Item.,#7)
Keith Crawford - Mr. Crawford had a concern about the first
parking space. The maneuvering space should be on,the property
and not'on the right-of-way. There was a problem with parking
space dimensions at the back of the property. Mr. Crawford
discussed the plan with the developers. He said that he
appreciated the fact that they had tried to save as many trees as
possible, but that the parking spaces involved must be spaced so
that vehicles could manuever without going into the other lane of
traffic.
.Cecil Henderson - Distributed written comments. (Item #8)
Paula_Harvey M Landscape buffering would be required between
parking spaces and the right-of--way at the Southeast corner. The
project was submitted under the old code, and a ,building 30 ft.
high in.the old zoning district would require a minimum 17 1/2
,ft. side-setback. The plan showed only a 13 ft. setback on the
West side'of the property and would need to be amended. The
....setback for the building from the right-of-way on Belleair Road
should be 20 ft. The requirement for parking under the old code
J would be 121 parking spaces. If the developer could not meet the
requirements he would need to go to a variance procedure. Forms

could be obtained in the Planning'Department. Developer should
show to the board of Adjustment and Appeal that there was a
hardship in meeting the parking requirements due to trees on
site, etc. Or they had.the option of reducing the size of the
building in order to meat parking requirements. There was
'discussion about a perpetual easement being obtained by the
developer from the adjacent bank for"the use of 10 parking spaces
fox` the project.
.'Ream Wilson -- Distributed written comments. (item #9)
