of Northlake Boulevard and Sunrise Drive, just east of Interstate 95. (18- 42S -43E)
Planner I Angela Csinsi presented the staff report.
John Glidden joined the meeting at this point at 7:40 p.m.
The color sample 'Dry Dock" was passed around.

Workshop
Petition SP-99 -01; U.S. One DiVosta Office Bu ilding
A request by Donaldson Hearing, agent for Turtle Beach, Ltd, for site plan approval of a 25,700
• square foot office building on a 1.83 acre site- The site is located approximately 800 feet south of the
intersection of PGA Boulevard and U.S. Highway One (04- 42S -43E)
Planner I Angela Csinsi presented the site plan and staff report and answered questions regarding loading
spaces, U.S. One access, sidewalks, the dead end, and ownership of the access road.
Rick Green, agent for Turtle Beach, commented that this project met or exceeded all City Code
requirements, and reviewed details of the project. Concerns expressed by Mr. Cruz included stacking
at the drive -thru teller window and that there was not enough attention to landscaping along U. S. One.
The petitioner verified that the stabilized sub base went to the roadway. Mr. Solomon recommended a
tri-party agreement for perpetual maintenance of the access road, that the stabilized sub base be labeled
on the plans, moving the drive -thru to the east side of the building, and at the next meeting showing the
rest of the land to Ellison Wilson Road, as well as a timetable for extension of the access road. Mr.
Solomon recommended that the City Attorney check on a cross easement agreement for the future drive
on the west. Mr. Kunkle suggested a single color roof tile, to assure line of sight at the columns, and
fewer oak trees. Chair Channing questioned ownership of Turtle Beach, Ltd., to which the response was
that it was a DiVosta Company. Chair Channing recommended more landscape screening from U. S. One,
requested a picture of a 6' x 6' roof tile sample to be sure it was not too mottled, and requested that the
secondary emergency access be moved from U.S. One. The petitioner explained that this property had
been owned by Mr. DiVosta for approximately 15 years and had nothing to do with City Centre. Chair
Channing requested an explanation of ownership of the future drive at the next meeting.

Public Hearing and Recommendation to City Council
Petition PUD- 99 -10• Publix Expansion at Oakbrook Square Shopping Center
Ms. Anne Booth, Urban Design Studio, agent for Oakbrook Square Shopping Center
• corporation, is requesting rezoning of a 20.35 -acre site from CG -1, General
Commercial, to PUD, Planned Unit Development, to allow for the renovation and
10,987 - square foot expansion of the Publix grocery store at Oakbrook Square Shopping
Center. The site is located at the northeast corner of PGA Boulevard and U.S. Highway
One (4- 42S -43E)
Principal Planner Jim Norquest reviewed the staff report and noted changes since the last
meeting. Mr. Cruz stated he disagreed with the Building Official's opinion and believed access
ways were required. Attorney Post advised that this issue would be studied. The size of sign
on south side was discussed. Mr. Glidden commented on the access issue and requested the
petitioner look at screening of equipment. Mr. Solomon expressed disappointment with the
pedestrian cut -in and stated his opinion that signage on the south wall was not needed. Chair
Channing requested and received clarification of the signage requirements, and inquired whether
handicap or pedestrian access was required. Staff response was that they would find out if
ADA required the access. Mr. Glidden commented that a reasonable compromise for
pedestrian access might be reached even if ADA did not require access. Mr. Glidden
questioned whether this petition was for refacing the entire facade on U.S. One. Mr. Glidden
stated he had no problems with any of the requested signs. Chair Channing suggested taking
a row of angled parking along an entrance and make it parallel.
Anne Booth spoke on behalf of the petitioner, and explained the problems with providing
• 3
• Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes

pedestrian access in an existing 20- year -old center. Ms. Booth explained which areas of the
facade were planned for renovation, using photographs and plans; and stated the facades for
each building would all blend together. Ms. Booth requested conceptual approval for the whole
facade. Mr. Glidden requested more information, commenting that a two - dimensional view was
not sufficient. The process for future approvals for facade changes was discussed. Staff was
not comfortable with a conceptual facade approval, and suggested the applicant provide enough
information to the board in order to receive an approval at this time. Discussion ensued
regarding whether a full petition would need to occur for future facade changes. Ms. Booth
indicated petitioner could withdraw the facade request if that would facilitate approval of
Publix. Mr. Solomon favored approval of Publix at this time. Ms. Booth stated the petitioner
was willing to commit to what was being shown in terms of the intent as to how they would
incorporate modifications throughout the rest of the center. Mr. Glidden expressed his
opinion that the petitioner had demonstrated continuity of the concept and the board should
agree on colors for the building and the barrel tile roof material. Mr. Glidden requested the
elevations reflect the planes on the roof of Publix as shown in the plans. Ms. Booth explained
that the petitioner intended to match colors to the finished improvements in the courtyard and
at Roly's, using a palette of basically beige colors for paint and addition to the stucco. Ms.
Booth described the landscape plan, including the new landscaping at the entrance and
relocation of specimen trees. Ms. Booth described the roof parapet. Chair Channing requested
• a stipulation that none of the banding be less than two inches in depth projecting out from the
building; a stipulation that the curving molding at the top of the parapet walls be 2' -6" high and
project out no less than two inches also, and stipulate that the fencing screening roof top
equipment be the same height as the equipment. In response to a question from Chair Channing
regarding whether the handicap issue could be separated out of this petition to be dealt with at
a later date, City Attorney Post recommended a condition of approval that before proceeding
to City Council the applicant must revise the plans to comply with all ADA requirements. Ms.
Booth advised that the petitioner would meet all ADA codes. Ms. Booth explained that the
petitioner and Publix were willing to reduce the size of the Publix sign to meet current code and
requested that the sign on the PGA Boulevard side of Publix be allowed to be 36" height. Ms.
Booth stated the waivers had been changed to reflect this request and the ground sign waivers
had been withdrawn. Mr. Cruz recommended the row of parking on the south side adjacent
to the drive be changed to parallel parking with a sidewalk alongside, which would eliminate
the need to relocate mature trees at that location. Mr. Cruz commented he had no problems
with the sign size on the south wall, clarified that the equipment screening on the roof applied
to both new and existing equipment, and expressed his opinion that only the Publix building
could be approved under this application since that was how the petition had been presented
and how the public hearing had been heard. Mr. Cruz commented that one of the conditions
of approval must be that only Publix was being reviewed in this petition, because the drawings
presented showed additional work. Chair Channing commented that he liked what was shown
for Eckerds because it showed an attempt to harmonize the elevations of the project, and
• 4

commented that if six or eight parking spaces were lost in order to gain a pedestrian access he
would have no problem with a waiver counting those spaces toward outdoor seating. Ms.
Booth responded that the petitioner would prefer not to add the access at this time, and
explained that this configuration had functioned very well for twenty years.
Mr. Glidden made a motion to recommend to the City Council approval of Petition PUD-
99-10 to provide for the remodeling and expansion of Publix at Oakbrook Square with
the following conditions:
1. City Forester and Landscape Architect of Record shall confirm that all approved
landscaping has been installed prior to final building inspection approval.
2. Oakbrook Square Shopping Center shall be responsible for the maintenance of
all roadway landscape within PGA Boulevard and US 1 per the approved
landscape plans.
3. The three sidewalk connections shall be modified to connect the perimeter
sidewalk with the interior driveway by moving the connector sidewalk as
necessary to avoid passing between two parking spaces, with a minimum width
• of 3' to pass between two parking spaces.
4. Prior to City Council meeting, the City shall confirm the requirements as to ADA
access to the site and if at least one ADA access to the site is required it shall be
provided along the PGA Boulevard entrance driveway in some form. If no ADA
access to the site is required, three individual connector sidewalks shall be
provided.
5. Rooftop equipment screening shall be more defined prior to the City Council
meeting and shall include a continuous metal screen around at least three sides
of the equipment per the marked up plan.
6. The elevations presented on the balance of the shopping center including Eckerds
shall generally meet the intent of compatibility with the newly improved and
proposed Publix but that the details, including roof plan and floor plan
modifications, shall be processed separately at an appropriate time.
7. Approval of all waivers is recommended.
g All banding details on front and side elevations of Publix shall be further defined
in the drawings to be a minimum of 2" differential out from the adjacent stucco

area.
Mr. Solomon seconded the motion. Chair Channing proposed the following amendment
to the motion: That the cornice height shall be no less than 30" as shown on the plans
and that the base of the cornices be built out a minimum of 2" from the wall. Mr.
Glidden accepted the amendment; Mr. Solomon seconded the amended motion. Motion
carried by vote of 5 -1, with Mr. Nedvins opposed.
Workshop - Site Plan Building Elevations, and Phasing Plan
Petition PUD -99 -12 - Gardens Corporate Centre Phase 2
Oliver - Glidden & Partners, Inc-, agent for an ownership consortium, is requesting a
planned unit development amendment for a 6.6 -acre site located at the northeast corner of
PGA Boulevard and Alternate AIA. The proposed amendment would include two six -story
office buildings (totaling 223,943 square feet) with a separate parking structure. (6 -42S-
43E)
Mr. Glidden stepped down due to conflict of interest.
• Principal Planner Norquest explained that at this meeting the architecture for the project would
be reviewed. Planner I John Lindgren reviewed the staff report and clarified details of the
plans. Planner Norquest explained that the PGA Flyover plans were 60% complete at this time
and would be presented at a later meeting.
Ed Oliver, agent for the petitioner, explained the project's background, displayed plans,
materials, color elevations for phases 2A and 2B, parking garage, and phasing plan changes.
Mr. Oliver explained the schedule for the Art Committee. Mr. Cruz commented the shape and
orientation of the buildings were not the best for PGA Boulevard, and did not allow for the art
in public places to be seen from the road or for a vista into the site. Mr. Cruz expressed his
opinion that the rendering did not match the plans, that the blue glass and the hip roofs were
not compatible with other buildings, and that the depth of the curve on the office building
should be carried out farther to add interest to the facade. The parking garage architecture was
reviewed. Mr. Solomon commented that he liked the materials and architecture, but expressed
concern with the orientation of the buildings, recommended that more of the element of the
promenade carried forward and changes to the bank drive thru. Mr. Kunkle stated he liked the
design and the building orientation. Chair Channing expressed his opinion that the orientation
was consistent with other projects on PGA Boulevard but that more should be done to relate
to the existing building in color, texture, and form. Chair Channing recommended more study
of the interior of the project , stating that the roads were awkward. Chair Channing suggested
shifting the garage closer to Alternate Al in order to reconfigure the interior of the project

to make it more pedestrian friendly. Mr. Cruz commented that there was an opportunity to do
something special with the areas between the buildings and suggested a consideration of a drive
at the back of the garage. Mr. Oliver commented that this site plan did not show the FDOT
taking along Alternate AIA and PGA Boulevard, that other several site plans had been
explored, and the petitioner felt this was a good plan for this busy corner. The building had
been placed at a 45 degree angle to create a softer turn. Mr. Oliver indicated the petitioner
would look at making the site more pedestrian friendly. Mr. Oliver stated he would bring
photographs of the site to the next meeting, expressed his opinion that the plaza needed to be
larger, stated that the rendering would be made accurate, discussed setbacks in accordance with
what would be taken by FDOT, stated the glass material and roof type would be studied, as
well as the bank location and stacking for the drive -thru. Traffic circulation was discussed. Mr.
Cruz commented that suggestions were being made for ways to make the project better and that
an opportunity was being missed to do something pedestrian friendly and to provide a sense of
space in the center of the site, which Mr. Oliver indicated would be studied. Suggestions were
made to have two garages instead of one or to add to the garage vertically, to connect the
garage to the buildings to provide covered walkway access. Chair Channing recommended
Frank Maroney to do a large scale study for the interior space. Chair Charming suggested a
coffee shop or newspaper stand and commented that the main focus of his pedestrian friendly
comments related to the interior space. Mr. Oliver indicated the landscaping would be
• discussed at the October 26 meeting.
