Planning Director Stan Boling presented this item to the Board. The Planning and Zoning Commission denied the site plan application because of concerns with the SR -60 and 58th Avenue intersection impact requirements. Staff recommended the Board overturn the decision of P&Z, with conditions, and to grant the appeal. He responded to questions from the Board. Bruce Barkett, Esq., representing Century Realty Funds Panther IX, LLC, brought a court reporter to record his presentation. He thought there was confusion or perhaps a lack of information on the part of the applicant at the P&Z meeting, because they did not know what information was going to be required, since they did have a signed developer's agreement. He asked questions on this issue of the Community Development Director Bob Keating and Assistant Public Works Director Chris Mora, in an effort to clear up the confusion, and prove that the application satisfies all the standards in the Code, including the standards for concurrency and for the intersection. Clerk's Note: Mr. Barkett handed the Clerk copies of the Developers' Agreements (Equity Investments, LLC, RJP Development Company Stoneybrook Farm Group, LLC, Lennar Homes, Inc., Odyssey (II) DP V LLC, DiVosta Homes and L.P. for Waterway Village. Upon the request of Mr. Barkett, Attorney Collins related that he felt the Commission did not receive a good answer as to when the intersection improvements would be in place. Based on that, he advised the P&Z Commission (at its meeting) that they would have a reason to turn down the application. Since that meeting, he changed his opinion based on the fact that the improvements are scheduled in the first three years of the Capital Improvement Plan, and to some extent are funded. Mr. Barkett introduced Neil Comby, Century Realty Funds Panther IX, LLC, who advocated the applicant's interest in the Board's decision. February 13, 2007 26
