Mr. Green arrived at 1:35 PM. Chairman Johnson outlined the procedures for conditional uses and advised that anyone adversely affected by a decision of the Planning and Zoning Board, with regard to conditional uses, has two weeks from this date in which to file an appeal through the City Clerk's Office. Florida Law requires any party appealing a decision of this Board to have a record of the proceedings to support the appeal. ITEMS ARE LISTED IN AGENDA ORDER THOUGH NOT NECESSARILY DISCUSSED IN THAT ORDER. B. Conditional Uses:  1. (REQUEST FOR EXTENSION) M&B 13.07, Sec. 17-29S-16E (2800 Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard) Limited Properties, Inc./Hooters, Inc./Will Alexander, III CU 88-51 Request - 2-COP (On Premise Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages) Zoned - CG (General Commercial) Ms. Harvey advised as follows: This is a request for extension for approval of on premise consumption of alcoholic beverages; the Planning and Zoning Board last reviewed and approved this item on July 26, 1988; and, the Development Code Adjustment Board granted an extension for applicant to obtain its building permit to June 9, 1989. She stated the applicant is requesting a 6-month extension and the Board can consider the request as a 6-month extension or an extension to June 9, 1989. Ms. Harvey advised staff recommended approval of the request for extension. Mr. Will Alexander, III, representative of applicant, stated the reason the extension is needed is that the applicant is trying to amend the site plan to provide parking spaces that were lost during condemnation of a portion of the property. After questioning by Mr. Schwob, Mr. Alexander advised that an extension to June 9, 1989 will be sufficient. No persons appeared in support of or in opposition to the above request. Motion was made by Mr. Schwob, seconded by Mr. Hogan, to approve the request for extension to June 9, 1989. Motion carried unanimously (6 to 0). AGENDA ITEMS B(2) AND B(3) WERE DISCUSSED TOGETHER. 2. Lots 2 and 3, Bamboo Subdivision (520-522 Bamboo Lane) SDS Investments (A Florida General Partnership)/Emil C. Marquardt, Jr. CU 89-01 Request - 1. Vehicle Service AND 2. Outdoor Retail Sales, Displays and/or Storage Zoned - CG (General Commercial) and RS-8 (Single Family Residential "Eight") 3. Lots 9 and 10, Bamboo Subdivision (515-521 Bamboo Lane) SDS Investments (A Florida General Partnership)/Emil C. Marquardt, Jr. CU 89-02 Request - 1. Vehicle Service AND 2. Outdoor Retail Sales, Displays and/or Storage Zoned - CG (General Commercial) and RS-8 (Single Family Residential "Eight") Ms. Harvey stated the distinguishing factor in the above properties is that one request is for the property on the east side of Bamboo Lane and one request is for the property on the west side of Bamboo Lane. Ms. Harvey advised as follows: These requests are for vehicle service and outdoor retail sales, displays and/or storage on property generally located in the General Commercial zoning district but with part of each property located in the Single Family Residential "Eight" zoning district; the governing sections of the Land Development Code are Sections 136.025(b), (c)(22), and (c)(27); and, the Traffic Engineer had no comment. Ms. Harvey stated the applicant should clarify why vehicle service is requested as the plan appears to be only for display. Ms. Harvey advised staff recommends approval of the request for outdoor retail sales, displays and/or storage subject to the following: 1) That the rezoning and Land Use Plan amendment be finalized for the portion of property now zoned RS-8; and 2) That a Certificate of Occupancy be obtained within 6 months. Atty. Emil C. Marquardt, representative of applicant, stated the requests are made to use the lots in furtherance of the dealership. He stated the reason applicant is requesting vehicle service is to have all options open as to how the property will be used. He added that currently the property would largely be used for display but applicant intends at a later date to construct a building for vehicle service. Ms. Harvey felt applicant should make the request for vehicle service at such time that applicant knows what the specific request for vehicle service will be. The Board felt, since there is no site plan for vehicle service and since the Board is required to consider specific service to be done, it should not make a decision at this meeting regarding vehicle service. Mr. Marquardt advised applicant's request is consistent with what is currently owned by the applicant. After questioning by Mr. Hogan, Mr. Marquardt advised applicant is not far enough along in its plans to describe a proposed building and its specific uses to the Board. Mr. Marquardt had no objection to vehicle service not being considered at this time. Ms. Harvey advised that one letter of objection was received from a neighboring resident just prior to the meeting (see attached). In opposition to the above request, the following person appeared to give his comments: Mr. James McDiarmid, 530 Bamboo Lane, stated there are gasoline pumps in use on Lots 2 and 3. He also stated that he signed an agreement with applicant that there would be one entrance on each side of Bamboo Lane and that stop signs would be installed. He advised that the stop sign was in place only two days until it was knocked down and it was never replaced. Mr. McDiarmid submitted a letter addressed to him from applicant which outlined a release (see attached letter). After questioning by Mr. Schwob, Mr. McDiarmid stated he had no objection to outdoor retail sales, displays and/or storage. In rebuttal, Mr. Marquardt felt, since vehicle service was not being considered at this time, that the opposition was moot. Mr. Marquardt advised Mr. McDiarmid that the site plan shows there will be no access to Bamboo Lane from either of the subject properties. After questioning by Mr. Hogan, Mr. Marquardt stated applicant received a permit from the City for the gasoline pumps. Ms. Harvey clarified that the installation of gasoline pumps does not require approval as a conditional use. She added that the request for vehicle display would not mean other permitted uses are not allowed on a property and if all requirements are met, a permit can be approved by the City. After questioning by Mr. Schwob, Ms. Harvey advised the zoning was originally established as General Commercial 300 feet from the center line of Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard. She added that since the zoning line falls in the middle of one of the platted lots it is necessary to have the RS-8 property rezoned. She stated the rezoning request will be before this Board and the City Commission and she felt there would be no problems with the rezoning. Motion was made by Mr. Schwob, seconded by Mr. Hamilton, to approve the above requests subject to the following: 1) That the rezoning and Land Use Plan amendment be finalized for the portion of property now zoned RS-8; and 2) That a Certificate of Occupancy be obtained within 6 months. Motion carried unanimously (6 to 0). 4. Portion of Lots 1, 2, and 3, Blk. F, Skycrest Unit 4 (1821 Drew Street) M. Joseph Connelly, Jr./Frank H. Morris CU 89-03 Request - Vehicle Service (Auto Body and Auto Painting) Zoned - CG (General Commercial) Ms. Harvey advised as follows: This is a request for vehicle service in the General Commercial zoning district; the governing sections of the Land Development Code are Sections 136.025(b) and (c)(27); the request is for the expansion of an existing auto service business to include a repair shop and paint shop; and, the Traffic Engineer expressed concern about how cars will be parked on the property. Ms. Harvey stated the plan submitted with the application did not meet Code but the plan was revised and reviewed and approved by the Environmental Division. She stated an application is scheduled to be reviewed by the Development Code Adjustment Board in order to accomplish the above request. Ms. Harvey advised staff recommended approval of the above request subject to the following: 1) That a parking plan be provided and reviewed and approved by the Traffic Engineer; and, 2) That the necessary variances be approved by the Development Code Adjustment Board. Mr. Frank Morris, representative of applicant, stated the property was originally developed as a gasoline station and applicant wants to upgrade and improve the property. He stated applicant wants to remove the portico and he wants to replace one of the service bays and make it into a body shop. He also stated applicant plans to close off the body shop and applicant will be putting in landscaping. After questioning by Mr. Green, Ms. Harvey stated that, in regard to parking, the City has had nothing to indicate that applicant will not abide by the Code. She added that if parking is done in conformance with the plans it will be the City's responsibility to monitor and cite any violations. Mr. Hogan felt an auto body shop and a paint shop were too noisy. No persons appeared in support of or in opposition to the above request. Motion was made by Mr. Schwob, seconded by Mr. Hamilton, to approve the above request subject to the following: 1) That a parking plan be provided and reviewed and approved by the Traffic Engineer; and, 2) That the necessary variances be approved by the Development Code Adjustment Board.

Ms. Harvey stated no variance to separation distance will be required. Ms. Harvey advised staff recommended approval of the above request subject to the following: 1) That the Building permit be procured within 6 months. Atty. Ed Armstrong, representative of applicant, stated there are no residences, churches, or schools within 300 feet. He felt the applicant met the standards of the Code. After questioning by Mr. Schwob, Mr. Armstrong stated the space to be used by the applicant will be about 100 feet by 150 feet. After questioning by Mr. Johnson, Ms. Harvey advised the developer is now in the process of getting its building permit. No persons appeared in support of or in opposition to the above request.

Ms. Harvey stated that interior and perimeter landscaping had been added and caused the parking to be deficient. She also stated the plan has since be reworked, it now meets Code requirements, and the parking plan has been approved by the Traffic Engineer. She stated the 400 square foot expansion is primarily due to part of the front porch being enclosed, on which alcoholic beverages will be served. After questioning by Ms. Nixon, Ms. Harvey stated interior landscaping will meet Code requirements. She also stated no variance to separation distance will be required. Ms. Harvey advised staff recommended approval of the above request subject to the following: 1) That the Building permit be procured within 6 months. Atty. Ed Armstrong, representative of applicant, stated the application is straightforward and he is available for any questions the Board may have. In opposition to the above request, the following person appeared to give her comments: Ms. Bonnie Harding, 31 Island Way, expressed concern about people visiting the restaurant and parking at the condominiums. Ms. Harvey advised that applicant does meet the parking requirements and persons parking at the condominium is a matter of personal trespass. Mr. Hamilton advised the condominium property should be posted and trespassers' vehicles towed away. In rebuttal, Mr. Armstrong stated applicant meets requirements of the Code.

He stated he previously had a license on St. Petersburg Beach. After questioning by Board members, Mr. Reszczynski advised as follows: The hours of operation are from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM; the operation is not open all night; he is present most of the time; he will have more of a mini market rather than a convenience store; and, the Chevron station across the street has no alcoholic beverage license.

Flammia, 1655 South Highland, Penthouse Groves Condominiums, President of association for building C, presented a petition in opposition with 33 signatures (see attached).

Mr. Joseph D'Costa, 1481 Belleair Road, stated his wife is the property owner adjacent to the subject property and she submitted a written statement. He stated there is litter and empty bottles on their property. He felt it was difficult to exit to the west from the property and felt any additional traffic would be detrimental to public safety. Mr. Kenneth Delarbre, 1618 South Highland, adjoining property owner to the south, stated he has practiced as a CPA at his location for many years and the area has been developed as professional. He expressed concern that as the intersection has developed there has been an increase in traffic accidents and he felt the sale of alcoholic beverages will not make the intersection safer. He felt the sale of alcoholic beverages would not be in the best interest of the neighborhood. In support rebuttal, Mr. Lazzara stated that because of development elsewhere traffic will be increased and he did not feel traffic would be changed too much by alcoholic beverages being sold at the above location. He advised that applicant is required to keep the property clean and neat.

After questioning by Ms. Nixon, Mr. Lazzara stated the gas station has been serviced by Lazzara Oil since 1981. He stated the industry is changing and it has been profitable to sell alcoholic beverages. He added that applicant wants people to visit his operation just like customers would visit other operations. Mr. Hogan stated he is opposed to alcoholic beverage sales where gasoline is also sold. Ms. Nixon stated she is not so concerned about litter as she is concerned about traffic at the intersection. She expressed concern about the possibility of there being other requests for alcoholic beverage sales and felt more package stores would not be conducive to the residential area. Mr. Hamilton expressed concern about the possibility of there being other requests for alcoholic beverage sales at the intersection. Mr. Hamilton felt the area was too residential for alcoholic beverage sales. Mr. Schwob felt alcoholic beverage sales at the subject location would not be compatible with the surrounding uses. Mr. Green felt the Board should identify the sections of the Code on which denial of the request is based. The Board members felt the subject request would not be reasonably compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and would base their decision of denial of the above request on Section 136.025(b)(7) of the Land Development Code. Motion was made by Mr. Hamilton, seconded by Mr. Hogan, to deny the above request. After roll call, motion to deny the above request carried unanimously (6 to 0). 8. Lots 5 through 11 inclusive, Blk.

In support of the above request, the following person appeared to give his comments: Mr. Pete Stirling, past Commodore of the Clearwater Yacht Club, stated there are different levels of sailing clubs and having such a club for younger children has necessitated an increase in safety measures.
