4. APPLICATIONS
A Site Plan Review - Danish Interiors Building Addition
Stan Krulikowski, Building Official, noted the revised plans met the Technical Review Committee requirements and recommended approval.
Town Planner Ed Washburn questioned the placement of the dumpster and it was clarified that it would be moved to the back of the building.
Chairman Kleving commended the applicant on the completeness of the plans submitted.
Mr. Noel Droor, engineer with Droor and Associates, explained that Danish Interiors is proposing a 3,980 s.f. building addition. The plans also reshapes the parking area leaving less paved area and more landscaping which should reduce water flow to Fourth Avenue.
The Board discussed the receiving area and accessibility for delivery trucks.
Bill Connor, Danish Interiors, explained that the dumpster is for recyclable materials and the Town had previously agreed not to require an enclosure.
Mr. Droor clarified that the Washingtonian palms in the addition area would be removed and Mr. MacNeill suggested that the Town look into the possibility of transplanting them.
Mr. McCabe expressed concern with the parking area islands forcing people into the street and requested that the sidewalk be kept continuous along Fourth Ave.
Mr. MacNeill moved to approve the site plan as submitted leaving the sidewalk along the south side of Fourth Avenue continuous so that there is no infringement upon the pedestrian walkway. Mr. Bertel seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
5. REPORTS AND DISCUSSIONS
A. Post Office Signage
Dr. Schwichtenberg, Indialantic Veterinary Clinic, reported that he is still experiencing a parking problem with Post Office patrons using his lot and advised that the signs previously required by the Board had been removed.
The Town Manager expressed the concern that the Post Office had only applied to the Board concerning the temporary structure and stated that he is not aware of any authority the Town might have to require the Post Office to continue displaying the signs.
The Board discussed their original intent and whether it applied to both the temporary and permanent buildings.
Dr. Schwichtenberg objected to putting more signs on his property and said that he has not been successful in dealing directly with the Post Master.
The Town Manager suggested sending a letter to the Post Master and property owner expressing the Board’s concern and requesting that the signs be permanently posted.
The Board discussed requiring the signs before a CO could be issued and Mr. Krulikowski reminded the Board that we are dealing with the U.S. Government which has a great deal of latitude.
Mr. Washburn advised that the Board needs to clarify the intent of the motion passed at the May 23, 2000 meeting and determine if it was meant only for signs to be posted on “all doors” of the temporary structure or to also include the permanent building. He also explained that if the Post Office does not wish to place signs on the subsidiary lot, the Town can erect informational signs indicating postal patron parking.
Mr. Bertel moved to clarify that the Board’s intent on May 23, 2000 was to require that signs identifying parking for post office patrons be placed on all patron entrances of both the temporary and permanent structures as a condition of approval and to direct the Town Manager to forward a letter to the Post Office and property owner expressing concern with the removal of these signs and requesting compliance. Mr. MacNeill seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
