Chairman Kleving called the meeting to order at 5:30 PM.
2. APPROVAL OF PRIOR MEETING MINUTES
Mr. Ullmer moved to approve Minutes No. 00-03. Mr. Melhado seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
3. APPLICATIONS
A. Preliminary Site Plan Review – Ocean View Diner
Patrick Mauch, owner of Ocean View Diner, gave a brief overview of the plans for the building.
Tony Zizzo, general contractor for the project, answered questions concerning the access to A1A and FDOT requirements.
Town Planner Ed Washburn requested that the applicant clarify exactly what they intend to do and how they intend to utilize the facilities.
Mr. Mauch stated that the intent was to join the two buildings with a covered walkway and establish multiple uses in the new section currently known as Loco Lobster.
The Board discussed the seating capacity and Mr. Washburn pointed out that the non-conforming section of the Code grandfathers in the lots based on existing uses and since the uses are changing the concern is whether the proposed uses can offset what was previously permitted. He urged the applicant to review and fully understand how this provision of the Code will be applied. Mr. Washburn recommended obtaining the Town Attorney’s opinion to clarify whether the demolition might negate any grandfathered provisions.
Clayton Bennett, engineer with Fleis and Bennett, gave an overview of the project explaining that the plan is to discontinue the driveway on the south side of Ocean View Diner and demolish a portion of the existing Loco Lobster building. They will also expand the kitchen facilities in Ocean View Diner, construct a parking lot, enclose the wood deck on the south portion of the building and create an outdoor seating area. Mr. Bennett explained that tonight’s purpose is to have the Board accept the concept before any final plans are drawn.
It was the consensus of the Board that the following issues need to be further addressed:
Connection between the buildings
Percentage of demolition
Grandfathered rights
Seating capacity
A1A access (FDOT review and approval)
Parking (at least one handicapped space at Ocean View Diner and one at Loco Lobster)
Liquor licensing
Elevation plans
Stormwater (i.e. where the water currently goes and is projected to go)
Confirmation of authorization/approval from SJWMD
Letter from Harris Sanitation approving dumpster location and access
Mr. Ullmer moved that the preliminary site plan review be tabled until the next meeting pending the clarification of the Board’s concerns. Mr. MacNeill seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
B. Request for Temporary Structure - U.S. Post Office
John Sink, Architect/Engineer with the U.S. Postal Service Administrative Services, apologized for the confusion in placing the modular unit without permitting. He advised that it should be in use no longer than September 1, 2000 and will house the lock boxes and a stamp vending machine. He explained that the modular building was not on the original renovation plans because the Post Office was exploring alternate sites that subsequently were not funded.
Kirk Hartgrave, with GenCo Building Systems, explained that asbestos found in the old building would necessitate moving all customer facilities to the trailer for a two-week period while the asbestos is removed.
Mr. Sink also advised that a mobile unit would be placed in the auxiliary parking lot for the convenience of the public while the facility is closed.
Dr. Schwichtenberg, owner of Indialantic Veterinary Clinic, 307 4th Ave., presented a letter detailing on-going parking problems with the Post Office patrons and requesting signage be posted on all Post Office doors indicating where parking is permitted.
Mr. Washburn advised that permission to use the right-of-way is up to the Town Council and not the Zoning and Planning Board.
Building Official Brain Barber pointed out the other code violations and clarified that a building permit would not be issued under the present conditions.
The Board discussed locating the trailer in the front parking lot of the Post Office or the south parking lot.
Mr. Hartgrave agreed to meet with the Building Official to work out a solution.
Mr. McCabe moved to support moving the modular building into Town to support the renovation of the Post Office contingent on meeting the Code requirements, subject to approval by the Building Official and the Town Council and with signage indicating the proper parking areas placed on all Post Office doors. Mr. MacNeill seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
