Attachments: Staff Report Location Map Aerial PD Plan Landscape Plan Draft PD Rezoning Ordinance Chairman Flescher noted this was a quasi-judicial hearing, and introduced the parties for the proceeding as being the Randolf Construction Group (Applicant) and Indian River County. Each Commissioner, as requested by the Chairman, disclosed ex parte communications, site visits, or independent investigations. The Commissioners also affirmed that they have an open mind and can base their decisions on the evidence presented and the applicable law. The Chairman opened the Public Hearing. The Deputy Clerk administered the Oath to all persons who wished to speak at the hearing. Chief of Current Development Brandon Creagan utilized a PowerPoint presentation to explain the Planned Development (PD) rezoning process for Hunter's Grove. The presentation provided details of the location, and plans for traffic, stormwater, landscaping, required improvements, and public benefits. The Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) recommended approval of the PD Rezoning and Conceptual PD Plan/Plat use with staffs conditions, and the addition of a fence around the interior stormwater pond. The PZC also concurrently approved the preliminary PD Plan/Plat subject to approval of the rezoning. Commissioner Moss received information regarding the difference between full access and emergency access driveways. The Commissioner then referred to the traffic analysis, and questioned having only one entrance/exit. Mr. Creagan explained that Public Works limited the number of driveways onto roads for safety, and only one access was required for this development's size. Commissioner Adams questioned the addition of stormwater pond fencing, which was not required by code and could be an eyesore. Ryan Sweeny, Assistant Planning and Services Director, noted there would be access gates to maintain the area, and that the fence was approved at the PZC meeting in response to an accident in a nearby neighborhood.
