Ms. Gerli stated that she is submitting this draft on architectural and site design guidelines to see if this is the direction that this Board and the City Commission is willing to go on and it is based on a lot of different regulations primarily from Collier County and Lee County. The purpose and intent of these standards are to ensure land use compatibility and harmonious design of structures by regulating the general appearance of structures to ensure compatibility and harmonious design and to prevent introduction of gaudy and harish structures, which would disrupt the visual integrity of an area. Mr. Marder has suggested the establishment of a group comprised of some architects and developers to work on the guidelines and determine the effect of the proposed guidelines on the cost of development and the ease with which the guidelines can be implemented and enforced. Mr. Marder introduced Dick Thomas, Senior Planner, from the Seminole County Planning office to the board. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION WORKSESSION MINUTES MARCH 7, 2002 PAGE Mr. Hipes asked if a certain style would be used within the city. Ms. Gerli stated that the City would not dictate a certain style. It should be consistent with the area and it would get rid of the big square box look. Mr. Hipes stated that in Pinellas Park, the Director developed an aggressive plan for their corridor. They initiated a 5 year landscaping plan, with percentage waivers given if done within certain time frames, such as if the landscaping is redone within the first year you would only have to comply with 20% of the code, if redone within the second year you would have to comply with 40% of the code and so forth. Ms. Gerli distributed a US 17/92 Aesthetic Design Guidelines by Glatting Jackson to the board. Mr. Skat stated that the City needs to create a corridor with consistency for landscaping and setbacks. Ms. Gerli stated that the developer would have to orient the main building towards the street. If the building were on a corner, the corner would have a special treatment. If the height were different from the building next door, the building would be adjusted so the upper stories would set back from the main story. Mr. Marder stated that there are no design specifics for the downtown area, only on urban infill sites. By definition in the comp plan, the zoning would take place and those requirements would be imposed. Ms. Gerli stated that the commercial historic district has its own guidelines, which are more restrictive. On an infill site, the comp plan criteria requires it to be better than what we have and has to fit in with the surrounding area. The staff will review first and then the board would review. The LDR requires a pre - application conference and the developer will have to comply with several elements. All primary entrances will have to have either a protruding front gable, a stoop or a projection or recession in the building footprint with a minimum of three feet in depth that clearly identifies the entrance. In addition, every primary entrance will have to have two other distinguishing features. Mr. Lowell stated that it should prohibit garage doors from facing the main street and the City should also prohibit the use of garage doors as decoration. Mr. Skat requested the board to look at the design standards and send comments to Antonia. There was minor discussion on the applied stone in an ashlar or rubble look, metal seamed roofing, primary entrances, and businesses with drive -thrus. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION WORKSESSION MINUTES MARCH 7, 2002 PAGE Once these design standards are approved and adopted and if someone wants to do it different, they would have to come in front on the board for a variance. There being no further business, the worksession was adjourned. Michael Skat, Chairman MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF MARCH 7, 2002 7:00 P.M.
