Analysis Staff approves of the design/use of the site and finds no fault with the applicant's request/approach for development. During a previous rezoning hearing, the applicant agreed to remove the building. He has not, so staff will not pursue the issue if he commits to this improvement. Also, the on -premise roof sign is currently prohibited by ordinance. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval, subject to comments made. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: Staff was concerned about the use of parking on Tract "D" to serve Tract "A." The applicant decided to eliminate his request for a short -form "PUD" and include all of the property in the approval. He was instructed to provide a letter from the owner of Tract "A" authorizing its use and to work with Water Works relative to their request for a 15' easement, 7.5' either side of an existing fire hydrant lead, an existing 16" main which crosses the property and under the existing boat sales building. Mr. Bob Richardson, the applicant's engineer, stated that the floodway had been certified by the City Engineer. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant's engineer, Mr. Bob Richardson, submitted a revised plan showing a 20-foot utility and access easement on the west side of the site, and a letter from the owners of Tract A giving permission to rezone. Mr. Gus Blass, the owner of property to the west, objected to the way the easement was shown and felt that because an existing fence was located on the applicant's property line, persons visiting the marina would come across his property. He also felt that Mr. Richardson had not made a conscientious effort to contact him. Mr. Richardson stated it was not their intent to use Mr. Blass' parking lot for access, since the easement was part of an agreement between owners of both properties in previous years. After a lengthy discussion, a motion for a three week deferral was made and passed, so that both property owners could work out their differences. The vote: 8 ayes, 0 noes and 3 absent. October 30, 1984 Item No. E - Continued PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (10-30-84) The applicant, Mr. Jack Oliver, and the Engineer, Mr. Bob Richardson, were in attendance. Staff stated the position as being unchanged, except for the request of an easement for a 16 inch water main for Water Works, to be reflected on the final plat. Mr. Richardson requested to amend the plat by providing a six-foot opaque fence on the western boundary of the project to appease Mr. Blass, the abutting property owner. Mr. Blass stated that he would build his own fence, but since the fence would interfere with his right to use the access easement, then the developer of the project should compensate him for the loss by bringing the easement to, grade, maintaining and repairing it and paving the land on the southeast corner of the property. When tract A is developed, he requested to have more than three working days to review the plans. There was discussion as to the extent that the PCD process allowed discussion of conditions that should or could be considered as private contractual agreements. Mr. Richardson presented a written agreement signed by Mr. Oliver that includes those items requested by Mr. Blass. A motion for approval was finally made, subject to: (1) the provision of an easement on the final plat if there is a right to one or the provision of a substitute easement on the south for Water Works; and (2) the concerns expressed by Mr. Blass. The motion passed by a vote of: 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
