Member Lau moved to grant Jackie Logemann Party Status. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Member Lau moved to accept Kevin Nurnberger as an expert witness in the fields of zoning, site plan analysis, planning in general, and the landscape ordinance. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Senior Planner Kevin Nurnberger provided a PowerPoint presentation and reviewed the Staff Report. Paul Zak, representing the owner, said the applicant was trying to follow building code and wanted to install a permanent ladder in its originally proposed location. Party Status Holder Jackie Logemann expressed concern the project would locate a large, ugly commercial building at the entrance to her historic neighborhood. She said they wanted the ladder to be relocated, although painting it the same color as the structure and planting trees or tall bushes would help camouflage the ladder and building. She said she would like to speak with the applicant but had not done so. Mr. Nurnberger said the ladder could be painted or moved to the south elevation. Mr. Zak said the applicant did not want to move the ladder. He said if there were no conflicts, the ladder could be painted. He said additional landscaping would not hide most of the ladder and was not planned. Member Quattrocki moved to approve Case FLD2017-06009 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, plus a condition that if permitted by Code, the ladder would be painted to match the color of the building as closely as possible. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. H. DIRECTOR'S ITEM: (ITEM 1) 1. Provide update on the Citywide Complete Streets Implementation Plan. Senior Planner Richard Hartman provided a PowerPoint presentation review of Complete Streets and update on the Citywide implementation plan which was being finalized for presentation to the City Council on June 20, 2019. Community Development 2019-05-21 4 Previously, streets were car centric, designed for increased speeds while ignoring bicycle and pedestrian needs. Complete Streets considered mobility strategies and were designed to reduce vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries. First, staff will review every City street and determine if it is a: 1) thoroughfare; 2) community connector; 3) local collector, or 4) local street. Stormwater, parking, and planning were intricate to Complete Streets. Staff will determine how best to enhance comfortable travel, community health, accessibility, social equality, and investment. A focus on intersections and crossings will identify problem locations, possible countermeasures, and the ability to implement fixes. via pilot projects that temporarily narrow streets with paint, cones, or bollards, staff could determine if modifications improved safety, adjustments were appropriate, and if permanent changes should be constructed. Mr. Hartman said Complete Streets did not have a standalone budget. An education program would be important. The Master Plan could be updated to integrate bicycle and pedestrian uses. He recommended an Advisory Committee be established to provide public input, support inclusion of Complete Streets in the Comprehensive Plan and Code, and use performance measures to evaluate successes and changes to crash rates. In response to questions, Mr. Hartman said Florida roads typically were 12 feet wide although 10 -foot wide roads were common. Truck routes required wider lanes. Five -foot wide bicycle lanes were ideal. Narrow lanes slowed traffic; higher speeds endangered pedestrians and caused vehicular crashes. To enhance pedestrian and bicyclist safety, staff was reviewing parallel routes for major roads as parts of broader corridors. In the future, Complete Streets support the integration of green infrastructure for stormwater and drainage when funding is available. Signal lights providing buses and bicycles lead time from bus pullouts would help integrate public transportation and cyclists into Complete Streets. A regional plan was studying an improved transit system between West Shore and the beach along SR 60. Transit was important as a large percentage of residents did not own vehicles. H.
