Disney and this site would have been the next phase of the development. The conceptual plan is still in effect and both of the undeveloped portions, in combination, are held to less than 6 units per acre. Director Boling then displayed a map of the proposed Ocean Sands PD plan and noted that the plan keeps all construction landward of the Coastal Control Line. The plan includes 5 buildings and meets the A1A setback requirements. The building height requirement applies to the building itself, which will be located 35 feet above the natural grade, with an additional area allowed for the sloped roof. The tallest structure will be 50 feet tall. The tree survey has been completed, there is already a turn lane in place to accommodate the traffic, and the applicant has reduced the density of units allowed with the conceptual plan. There has been a lot of discussion regarding the accessory guest cottages. These cottages are called “cabanas”, are 1 story high, and 12 of these units are proposed. These units are not to be rented separately but are sold with the residential units. The appeal from the North Beach Civic Association concerns the setbacks and the density. The buildings meet and exceed the 25-foot setback requirement from A1A and the revised plan is to build 66 units with 12 cottages. 91 units were approved in the original conceptual plan, with 72 efficiency units that could be rented out. The Civic Association also expressed concerns about the ambiance of the development. To the north and south of the site are multi-family projects which are 3 and 4 stories over garages. This project is in compliance with the North Barrier Island Corridor Plan and the density requested is less intense than the approved conceptual plan. Commissioner Macht questioned the use of the cabanas as rental units, and Director Boling stated that the regulations and deed restrictions state that the cabanas cannot be rented out. Commissioner Neuberger questioned the description of the cabanas, and Director Boling replied that they have a bedroom, bathroom, living area and perhaps a kitchen. They are called guest cottages and are approved in every residential zoning district in the County. Commissioner Adams wondered if these were the same as “mother-in-law cottages”, and Director Boling responded that “mother-in-law cottages” are different and can be rented out separately.
