Owner: CBC Industrial Park, Inc.; representative: John Reynolds. Mr. Dick Holsenback was present for representation. Mr. Marder stated that the circulation on site has been questioned by Staff because it does not meet the City's specifications. This site plan will require trucks stopping on Coastline Road and backing in. All circulation has to be onsite. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF JULY 18, 1991 PAGE 3 Mr. Holsenback stated that he had had a meeting with the City Manager and City Engineer and it was determined that the primary problems were that Coastline Road would be extended west to the new shopping mall. It will then become a major thoroughfare. Mr. Holsenback stated that there is an identical truck situation next door to this site. The tenant anticipates having one truck a month coming in, which would take a minute to back in off of Coastline Road. The owner is willing to sign an agreement stating that when the road is extended westerly he will shut down his truck operation. Mr. Holsenback stated that they are willing to prepare a document that Storage Craft will close down the truck operation when the road is extended either way. This will be a 6,000 square feet facility. Mr. Brooks asked if this agreement will include the one truck a month statement. Mr. Holsenback stated that it could be made a part of it. Mr. Marder stated that this is a through road right now. It is a major road in this development. The lots in this development were developed at a particular size. This site for Storage Craft is developed on half a lot, this creates some of the circulation problems. Mr. Don Bauerly, owner of the park, 1822 Meadowbend Dr., Longwood, stated that this development was constructed in 1984. The situation that exists with this lot has an identical situation next door. It creates no problem at all. Miracle Industries has an identical situation and pose no problem. One truck a month would not create any circulation problems for the park. Mr. Brooks asked what would happen when Coastline Road does become a thoroughfare. Mr. Bauerly stated that these roads were put in to serve the park; and also added that the roads were dedicated to the City for maintenance. Mr. Marder stated that the road going into the Northstar Business Park was planned as a connector road. Coastline Road is a good opportunity to cross to the west over to Rinehart Road extension. He believes that there will be an east /west street between Upsala Road and Rinehart Road and also between Rinehart Road and realigned Oregon Avenue. Mr. Marder thinks that it is going to be an east /west circulation path that will carry considerable traffic in the future. Mr. Speer asked why would a document be needed and asked why couldn't the motion stipulate that when the road is extended either way that this operation be void. Mr. Speer moved to approve the site plan with the stipulation that in the event Coastline Road in Sanford Central Park is extended MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF JULY 18, 1991 PAGE 4 west of Upsala Road or extended east of its present platted location that the site plan will be automatically amended to prohibit the backing of trucks onto the location as shown on the site plan into the deep truck well.
