land use/rezoning applications, land development general planning code amendments,
landscape ordinance, and special area plans/overlay districts. The motion was duly
seconded and carried unanimously.
Community Development Board 10/21/2014 4
Planner III Mark Parry reviewed the Staff Report. The City received one email from a
nearby property owner who opposed the development and was concerned that a marina
would be constructed. Conditions of approval require a deed restriction that limits use of
the 30 slips to residents and guests of the 30 -unit multifamily development. The dock
was designed to avoid sea grass.
In response to a question, Mr. Parry knew of no manatee issues in the area. The dock
will not affect customary wake zone requirements.
Terri Skapik, of Woods Consulting, representing the developer said in 2011, the CDB
(Community Development Board) had approved a 54 -unit multifamily development with
46 wet slips for this site. Due to market conditions, the developer allowed that
development order to expire in 2013. This smaller scale project does not exceed the
unit to slip ratio and no setback variances were requested. The proposed dock meets
State and Federal requirements. Deed restrictions will prohibit fueling, boat repair, and
pump -out services.
Member Hinrichs moved to approve Case FLD2014 -07022 based on the evidence and
testimony presented in the application, the Staff Report and at today's hearing, and
hereby adopt the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law stated in the Staff Report
with conditions of approval as listed. The motion was duly seconded and carried
unanimously.
