The first item on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a request for an application to Rezone property located at 2250 Marquette Avenue from AG, Agricultural, to PD, Planned Development. Tax Parcel Number: 08 -20 -31 -300- 0020 -0000. Property Owner: Dorothy McReynolds. Representative: Frank L. Pohl, Trustee, Dave Dunlap, Harding Lawson Associates, 6500 All American Blvd., Orlando, and Tim Shepard, representing Frank Pohl the Trustee, were present. Mr. Dunlap stated that the site is approximately 25 acres. 11 acres are wetlands or lake, and the balance portion, the southerly portion, is planned for 55,000 square feet of commercial and a 300 room hotel. They are attempting to reserve flexibility. The developer is not prepared to move right into a complete site plan and construction. They are negotiating with the Airport to understand its constraints on the property and the position will be a function of working together. Studies are underway that will dictate the placement of the hotel. Mr. Marder explained that the applicant has provided information in a way that was recommended by Staff He initially submitted a plan that was a bit more detailed that showed the hotel being on the northerly portion of the development site and commercial being on the southerly side, along NIINCTTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 7, 1999 PAGE 2 with some drainage retention areas. Staff felt it would be better for the future so as to avoid the need to come back and amend this master plan, to keep it flexible. It's a mixed commercial zoning that is being established with some buffers from the wetlands, some setbacks and access points. Mr. Kutz stated that what is bothering him is that the plan is open-ended as far as density. Intensity is one of the things that the Commission has been concerned about out in that area. How intense and how dense is the construction? How much will it impact the area and how much will it impact the adjacent people? Mr. Dunlap stated that they have tried to address the impact of the size of this property. The traffic impact, buffers, and things like that. They have set density and provided what they anticipate in square footage and the rooms of the hotel. Mr. Marder stated that this site is undergoing a comprehensive plan amendment to airport industry and commerce. There is an intensity that limits the intensity of land use, the floor area ratio. It has an airport industry and commerce designation on it, and its going to mean that there is absolutely no residential development permitted on this site. Around this site at this point in time, there could be residential development to the west and it would have to be buffered according to our PD standards. There was no one else present to speak in favor of or against the request. M.T. VonHerbulis moved to approve the rezone based on stag's recommendations and per the plan with a 300 room hotel and 55,000 square feet of commercial retail space with a trip generation of 4,706 trips per day maximum.

Grandview Avenue, was present to speak in opposition. He stated that he has lived here for 15 years and he objects to this car lot adjoining the residential neighborhood. There are two vacant lots that adjoins this property that could, in the firture, be rezoned and would adversely affect the neighborhood. Charles McIntosh, 2442 Grandview Avenue, was present and in opposition He asked what was in place to keep Grandview Avenue from becoming a through street. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that this could be a condition of the approval, that it remains this way and cannot ever be reopened. He stated that he does not want the traffic flow from a thru -way street. Mr. Garrett reassured Mr. McIntosh that it is one of the City standards and stipulations that no repairs are done on site. Brian Jones, 2444 Grandview Avenue, asked if a privacy wall is required. He stated that he would like to keep the neighborhood quiet and that he did not want the road opened up. Mr. Marder stated that this site does not abut residential zoning or residential land use. It abuts a vacant commercial piece of property. If the desire was to provide for a visual separation with a wall or fence, this would need to be placed on this as a condition to insure that there would be that type of a visual separation. Mr. Melvin stated that they intend to build a 6' high concrete wall on the north and east sides. Laura ?, 2443 S. Grandview Avenue, requested that the street not be opened and a wall put in to separate the car lot from their neighborhood Mr. Melvin stated that there will be no mechanical work. The owner will give a notarized statement that he will not buy anymore property. They intend to do a 6' concrete block wall on the northside and the eastside. Mr. Marder read into the record a letter of opposition from Marjorie P. White - Fancher. Mr. Kutz moved to grant the conditional use request with the conditions that the applicant comply strictly with all land use plans, development regulation requirements, forego all mechanical work on site, guarantee no access from Grandview ever, and construct a 6' masonry wall on the north and east sides of the property.
