The roll was called by Chairman Sabatello: Present Absent Carl Sabatello, Chairman John Glidden Diane Carlino, Vice Chair Christopher Jones, Alternate Daniel Honig Phillip Lyddon William Mignogna Thomas Pastore Tom Paganini, Alternate • Also present at the meeting were Mayor David Clark, Assistant City Manager Greg Dunham, and Assistant City Attorney Paul Golis. ITEMS_ Y PLANNING AND ZONING DIRECTOR There were no items from the Planning and Zoning Director. ITEMS BY CITY COUNCIL LIAISON There were no items from the City Council Liaison. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Minutes of March 28.1995 - Ms. Diane Carlino made a motion to approve the minutes as submitted. The motion was seconded by Mr. William Mignogna. The motion was unanimously by a.7 -0 vote. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Public Hearing: Ordinance 7, 1995, an ordinance amending Chapter 159 of the code of Ordinances, entitled "Zoning Regulations" to create Section 159.087, entitled "Newsrack" . • Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes April 11, 1995 Principal Planner Bristol Ellington reviewed the staff report dated April 6, 1995. Chairman Sabatello questioned whether the proposed fee in this draft ordinance was for the same purpose as in the case where the fee had been challenged and subsequently dropped by Boynton Beach and Boca Raton. Assistant City Attorney Golis verified that the fee must be referenced in the ordinance as used solely for administrative purposes and that he was comfortable that the amount and purpose as established for this ordinance would withstand challenges as presented in the other municipalities. Responsibility for providing newsrack enclosures and their maintenance was discussed. After several suggestions, Assistant City Attorney Golis commented that since enforcement would be by Code Enforcement that the landowner would be the party cited for any violations and therefore should be responsible for building and maintaining the enclosures. Abandonment of the newsracks was discussed and whether the City had the right to remove abandoned newsracks. Mr. Ellington explained that the ordinance contained the provision that the City could remove the newsracks and sell them at auction. Chairman Sabatello reviewed the results of the discussion to this point, stating that the landowner would be responsible for paying the fee and the City was not concerned with his agreement with the newsrack owner. • Mr. Lyddon requested that there be something on the record which would state how the fee was determined to ensure that the cost was legitimate. is During discussion of whether irrigation would be required at newsrack locations for landscaping or just a CBS wall, Commission members commented that should be reviewed by the City Forester. Mr. Ellington informed the Commission that the Town of Palm Beach only allowed newsracks in commercial areas, however, the Commission believed that restriction would not be enforceable. Two years was decided upon as a reasonable length of time for existing newsracks to come into compliance. Discussion of how many newsracks would be covered by the license fee resulted in the a suggestion that $10 per box be paid when the license was issued and if in the future more boxes were added the landowner would have to come back to the City to amend the original license and pay $10 for each additional newsrack. Mr. Lyddon commented that he believed the section in the ordinance referring to issuance of the Certificate of Compliance which contained a blank to be filled in showing approval by the proper City official was an undue restriction. It was the consensus of the Commission that the City Manager would provide the required approvals. Chairman Sabatello stated that he assumed that the City Council would look to Counsel to ask whether everything in the ordinance was in compliance and not to be challenged, and stated that the intent of the Commission was not to discourage or limit freedom of speech. The Commission discussed the proposed review and approval process; Chairman Sabatello stated that a decision could be delayed to make sure that process was done right. Mr. Lyddon suggested that identification of the name of the newspaper or periodical was really not revelant to the City and did not need to be required on the application. In summary, the Commission had the following comments, questions, and suggestions: 2 . Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes April 11, 1995 There should perhaps be an agreement between the owner of the box and the owner of the property where the box will be located. A simple, one -page form or license is needed which indicates the parties responsible for building and maintaining the newsrack enclosures. The Assistant City Attorney stated the landowners would be responsible for building and maintaining the enclosures. Mr. Golis stated he would attach a sample form to the ordinance as an exhibit. All locations should be safe and aesthetic. All newsracks should be in compliance within two years. On page 10.C., Issuance of Certificate of Compliance, shall read "...and having received the required approvals from the City Manager or the City Manager's designee. " Any fees established should be reasonable and based on actual costs. Appearance and colors of enclosures should be complementary to their locations, and should be reviewed by the Site Plan and Appearance Review Committee or as indicated • by the City Manager. Chairman Sabatello opened the Public Hearing. There being no comments from the public, Chairman Sabatello declared the Public Hearing closed, and called for a motion to delay the public hearing to a date certain. Motion: Motion was made by Mr. Phillip Lyddon to postpone the Public Hearing to a date certain of April 25, 1995, at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. The motion was seconded by Vice Chair Diane Carlino. The motion was unanimously approved by a 7 -0 vote. Mr. Honig suggested one member of the Commission be appointed to review material provided to the Commissioners for each meeting and discuss any questions with City Council members before the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Recommendation to City Council: #95 -1 Comprehensive Plan Amendment (first round of amendments for 1995). City Planner Kim Glas -Castro reviewed the staff report dated April 3, 1995, and explained that two petitions for land use change had been received prior to December 31, 1994 and that three city- initiated changes were also requested: (1) the identification of the County's Hood Road alignment on our maps as requested by Commissioner Marcus; (2) another land use change based on an upcoming annexation petition; and (3) a land use change to better reflect an existing use. • 3 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes April 11, 1995 1. DiVosta One -Acre Parcel (PGA Boulevard) - Requesting a change from RM (Residential Medium Density) land use with an underlying zoning category of RM (Residential Medium) to Professional Office (PO) land use. Ms. Glas- Castro explained that Mr. DiVosta had requested a land use change from RM (Residential Medium Density) with an underlying zoning category of RM (residential Medium) to Commercial (C) land use for this one -acre parcel located approximately 0.01 miles west of PGA Boulevard and Military Trail on the south side of PGA Boulevard, and that if approved, a rezoning /site plan application for a bank would be submitted. Direction from City Council indicated that the petitioner should be urged to apply for Professional Office (PO) rather than Commercial (C), and the petitioner had changed their petition to request the PO land use. Ms. Glas- Castro expressed staff concern that petitioners with small parcels such as this would be requesting land use changes in the future along the PGA frontage, ultimately creating strip commercial, which would allow any activity permitted within a commercial district. The PGA overlay would apply to this parcel including 55' sign setbacks. Petitioner responded to Mr. Honig that the maximum building allowed for that site was 15,000 S.F. ± and their proposed building was approximately 4,900 S.F. Petitioner responded to Mr. Lyddon that the adjacent land zoned RM was owned by the MacArthur • Foundation. Ms. Glas- Castro explained that when the office building on the comer of PGA and Military Trail was approved that access on its western boundary was approved with shared access for Mr. DiVosta's parcel and that actual traffic directional movement was not required to be addressed for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. During discussion of the requested land use change, Mr. Lyddon expressed his preference of PO rather than commercial; Chairman Sabatello commented that a PO category would require a multi-story building while in a commercial category a single -story building would probably be used- -which might be preferable aesthetically to the nearby residential areas. Mr. Honig expressed concern that the change in land use for this parcel would set a precedent for other similar requested land use changes in the future effecting a "domino theory", which made this a difficult decision since the land use for this parcel should conform to the land use envisioned for that section of PGA Boulevard in the future, and what the policy would be for future requests for other small parcels in this area should also be considered. • William Shannon, Attorney for the petitioner, commented that this parcel had originally a part of the corner office building PUD but had been deleted in 1981 when the PUD approval was granted because of resistance to changing more of the land from its original RM category and there had been no "domino theory" since other land use changes had not been requested to that section of land since 1981. Attorney Shannon explained that the proposed building would be a one -story building with access shared with the corner property. Mr. Lyddon inquired whether it would be possible to also amend the PO zoning to 4 • Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes April 11, 1995 provide for building height limitations, since neighboring residents might be very upset if a 14 -story building were proposed but might be happy to accept a one or a two-story building; and suggested a possible POI category for a one -story building and PO2 for a two-story building. Ms. Glas - Castro responded that would be possible and that staff would consider that in their review of the Land Development Regulations currently underway. Mr. Honig inquired whether the Planning and Zoning Commission could recommend approval of this land use change with a covenant that would limit the building height to twenty feet and the site plan to no more than 10,000 S.F., to which Ms. Glas- Castro responded that those kinds of limitations could not be included. Mr. Mignogna pointed out that the size of this particular parcel would not allow a large multi-story building; Chairman Sabatello commented that the discussion was regarding the whole strip along PGA Boulevard. Motion: Vice Chair Diane Carlin made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of this amendment under the Professional Office (PO) land use category. The motion was seconded by Mr. William Mignogna, and was unanimously approved by a 7 -0 vote. • 2. Campbell REQVp y Annexation and Land Use Change ( orthlake Boulevard) City Planner Kim Glas- Castro provided the following comments. Mr. Campbell was proposing simultaneous annexation and land use amendment for his 142 -acre currently vacant parcel which would change the 15 acres fronting Northlake Boulevard from (County) Industrial to (City) Commercial in order to provide services to the western residential areas, and leave the balance of the property with Industrial land use. If granted, petitioner planned a PUD development in the near future. A portion of the Industrial property was currently under negotiations by Palm Beach County acquisition as an environmental preserve which would possibly be rehydrated by raising the water level which could cause serious drainage concerns as well as impact the City's golf course. City Engineer Lyndahl had commented that there was no level of service for drainage at the site; that drainage would have to be forced or pumped; that water quality issues would be raised since the pumping would go into a preserve area; that Seacoast Utility currently had no lines to the site; and had noted these concerns in a letter to the petitioner which probably had not yet been received. Since this 142 -acre parcel did not meet the existing PDA Overlay condition which required any annexed property west of the turnpike to be a minimum 250 -acre Master Plan Development, the petitioner had also applied to change that minimum from 250 to 125 acres. If the policy were not changed, petitioner would need to include adjacent property and submit a joint Master Plan. The PDA Overlay also required the parcel be within one -half mile of an existing urban service area to meet level of service requirements and the closest one was PGA National which was not within one- half mile. Ms. Glas -Castro explained that while the City Council had indicated that they were not in • 5 • Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes April 11, 1995 favor of amending Policy 1.1.5.1.(a).2, were concerned about level of service but knowing the landowner wanted to commence development right away feared if the Comprehensive Plan Amendment process were not started that the landowner would develop under County regulations. Chairman Sabatello suggested that not amending the policy would stop the City's growth at the Beeline Highway, since the County could buy a large parcel which by its position would prevent the City from going forward with their philosophy of growth and management. Mr. Mignogna commented that concerns were raised a short time ago about losing industrial property and that this would add industrial property. Mr. Lyddon remarked that purchase of preserve areas seemed to be a priority and that he was uncomfortable with changing policy until the whole picture was known. Chairman Sabatello commented that whether the purchase happened or not that the adjacent land had the right to move forward, and that level of service concerns would be addressed when a plan for development was submitted. Vice Chair Carlin remarked that from a traffic perspective this seemed to answer some of the problems on Northlake Boulevard; residential development did exist in that area; commercial development would allow those people to obtain goods and services there instead of driving all the way into town to pick up an item; and expressed concern that if not approved by the City that the development would take place under County regulations. Mr. Lyddon stated he was in favor of annexation to even out the City's borders, however, he did not know enough • about the whole picture and therefore could not vote in favor of annexation, policy change or zoning for commercial in front and industrial in back. No representative for the petitioner was present at the meeting. Motion: Mr. William Mignogna made a motion to recommend approval of this amendment to City Council as follows: Annexation of the 142 -acre parcel which currently is designated with Industrial land use and zoning by Palm Beach County. Concurrent with the annexation, a change of the 15 acres fronting Northlake Boulevard from (County) Industrial to (City) Commercial, with the balance of the site remaining Industrial. Policy 1.1.5.1.(a).2 shall be amended as follows: Policy 1.1.5.1.(a).2: For all properties within the area bounded by Northlake Boulevard to the south, Donald Ross Road extension to the north, and the eastern boundary of the Conservation designation to the east, which have no active development order or other vested status granted by the City or Palm Beach County, and which are designated within the PDA Overlay, the City shall impose the following requirements, and shall, in accordance with section 163.3202, F.S., review, and revise where necessary, is land development regulations necessary to implement these requirements. 0 • Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes April 11, 1995 1. All proposed development shall include a minimum of 125 238 acres which shall be rezoned to Planned Unit Development PUD) or Planned Community District (PCD) and contain, at a minimum, a master development plan and supporting documentation which describes what the development is to include and how it is to proceed (phasing). All proposed collector roads within the development shall be shown as part of the PCD master plan. 2. Individual development "pods" within an approved PCD shall be rezoned to Planned Unit Development (PUD) which shall include, at a minimum, site plans, landscape plans, and all proposed local roads. 3. The overall density of PCDs in this area shall not exceed the maximum density permitted under the land use category. 4. Site design shall be sensitive to the natural resources and environmental characteristics of the property. 5. All PCDs shall be subject to the provisions of the Conceptual Linkage Plan for Northwest Palm Beach Gardens as described in this element. • Vice Chair Diane Carlino seconded the motion. During discussion, Mr. Lyddon stated that although he would like to see the land annexed into the City at some point, he did not believe there was enough information to justify a change in the current situation at this point. Mr. Honig stated his agreement with Mr. Lyddon. The motion was approved with a 5 -2 vote, with Mr. Lyddon and Mr. Honig voting against approval. 3. Hood Road (CoLnty Alignmen City Planned Kim Glas- Castro explained that this proposed amendment was city initiated at the request of Palm Beach Commissioner Karen Marcus and would reflect the future alignment of Hood Road between Alternate A I A and Prosperity Farms Road on the Projected 2010 Traffic and LOS Map (Map 2 -2) as established and approved by the County, and would also continue to show a local road, Flamingo Road extension, which would provide emergency access between Alternate AIA and Prosperity Farms Road. In response to questions from the Commission, Ms. Glas- Castro explained that it was not yet known whether this local road would be public or private. Mr. Daniel Honig stepped down during the discussion and vote on this item, citing a conflict of interest since he was a resident of Frenchman's Creek, had been involved in discussions with County Commissioner Karen Marcus, had signed a letter that stated Frenchman's Creek would support the southerly alignment of Hood Road in exchange for Commissioner Marcus' support of Flamingo Road becoming a Frenchman's Creek back entrance access road, and therefore could not support anything that might be in conflict with that particular agreement. Mr. Honig explained that situation had no bearing on the • 7 • Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes April 11, 1995 decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Motion: Mr. Phillip Lyddon made a motion to recommend approval of this amendment to the City Council as recommended by staff: To establish the future alignment of Hood Road between Alternate A -1 -A and Prosperity Farms Road and to amend the Projected 2010 Traffic and LOS Map (Map 2 -2) of its Comprehensive Plan in order to reflect this alignment, and to continue to show a local road, Flamingo Road extension, on Map 2 -2. The motion was seconded by Mr. Thomas Paganini and was unanimously approved by a 7 -0 vote. 4. Sherman Property Annexation (Prospgrity Farms Road) City Planner Kim Glas- Castro explained that Mr. Sherman was in the process of applying for annexation and PUD consideration for his 7.76 -acre parcel located along Prosperity Farms Road between RCA Boulevard and Burns Road. The City Council had directed is staff to undertake a city- initiated amendment to designate this property with city land use prior to its annexation and that staff believed the timing would allow annexation to occur before adoption of the land use. No representative for the Sherman property was present at the meeting. Motion: Vice Chair Diane Carlino made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of this amendment to change the designation from County RM5 (5 du /ac) to the corresponding City designation of RL (5 du /ac), with the timing to be such that the adoption of the land use shall not occur until the annexation has occurred. Mr. William Mignogna seconded the motion which was approved by a unanimous 6 -0 vote. 5. DiVosta Office Building (PGA and Military) City Planner Kim Glas -Castro explained that staff had initiated an amendment to the DiVosta office building site to change the land use from commercial (C) to professional office (PO) to be more consistent with the adjacent one -acre parcel designation of PO and to bring the land use into better conformity with the existing use. Attorney William Shannon, representing DiVosta and Company, requested that the existing commercial (C) land use be retained since this property was now buffered on both sides by the professional office (PO) land use category and was a major corner in the • 8 • Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes April 11, 1995 City. Attorney Shannon expressed concern over losing the commercial designation, which he explained to Mr. Honig would take away some use rights that could be of value in the future. Ms. Glas- Castro responded to Mr. Honig that if the current commercial (C) designation were not changed that if Sun Bank were to vacate that a 7 -11 convenience store could go into that space. Chairman Sabatello commented that the building and PUD has been approved with the commercial (C) land use. Mr. Lyddon stated he would prefer that the land use designation reflect the current use. Motion: Mr. Daniel Honig made a motion to not change the zoning on this parcel to Professional Office (PO) but to remain Commercial (C). The motion was seconded by Vice Chair Diane Carlin. The motion was approved by a 5 -2 vote, with Mr. Pastore and Mr. Lyddon voting against the approval. The following two petitions were discussed simultaneously: • rWo kshop: Petition CU- 94 -03, Northlake Square, by Timothy J. Messler, agent for John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, representing McPhail Properties, Inc., is requesting conditional use approval for a 12 -bay, 22,200 square -foot tire and auto service center on a 5.2 -acre tract (Formerly Gardens Lanes Bowling Alley). Located on the north side of Northlake Boulevard and immediately west of the C -17 Canal. (Pep Boys) (18- 42S-43E) SITE PLAN & APPEARANCE REVIEW Workshop: Petition SP- 94 -24, Northlake Square, by Timothy J. Messler, agent for John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, representing McPhail Properties, Inc., is requesting site plan approval to construct three buildings, totalling 31,700 square feet, on a 5.2 -acre tract (formerly Gardens Lanes Bowling Alley). Located on the north side of Northlake Boulevard and immediately west of the C -17 Canal. (18 -42S -43E) Principal Planner Bristol Ellington reviewed the staff report for both of the above petitions, both dated April 6, 1995. Discussion of the lack of elevations for the medical office building resulted in the comment that when those plans were submitted that building could be disapproved if it were incompatible with the other buildings. Mr. Ellington explained that this project was straight zoning which would have to conform to density under the zoning category, and not a PUD where restrictions could be placed on the project for heights, setback modifications, etc. Mr. Lyddon expressed concern regarding the Police Department's comments on lighting in the rear which might make the • 2 • Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes April 11, 1995 residents unhappy if floodlights were installed, and suggested consideration be given to ground lighting shining upward. Mr. Timothy Messler, agent for the petitioner, pointed out the parcel size had been reduced to 3.9 acres by deleting the Congress Avenue right of way, which was in the process of being dedicated to Palm Beach County. Mr. Messler stated that only 12 parking spaces were allocated for Building C, and therefore the use for that building would be limited. Mr. Messler explained that petitioner did have an easement for Shadberry Street, and was not proposing a westbound deceleration lane at this time. Mr. Troy Holloway, George Gentile & Associates, responded to Chairman Sabatello that the County would maintain the Congress Avenue right of way which would be dedicated to the County. Mr. Ellington explained that the MacArthur Foundation still owned the property and therefore would maintain it until its dedication to the County. Chairman Sabatello expressed concern that there were no maintenance standards for the roadway areas. Mr. McPhail, owner of the property, stated he would construct and maintain the private road. Mr. Honig stated that the use of Shadberry Lane would change and questioned whether that road was suitable for that purpose. Mr. Lyddon clarified that at the present time Shadberry Lane was owned by the mobile home park to the north subject to an easement in favor of the MacArthur Foundation for • passage of the public over that piece to enter Mr. McPhail's parcel. Chairman Sabatello expressed concern that the private access roadway did not meet City roadway standards. Mr. Ellington stated he could discuss this with the City Engineer and a condition could be made that the curb cut not be allowed until the north -south right of way had been dedicated and constructed as a public roadway. Chairman Sabatello requested information regarding whether there would be any liability on the part of the Commission in approving this site plan with all knowledge that this is a major access to the property without being brought up to the standards of the City. Mr. Honig suggested that the private road be reconstructed for its public usage as access into the center, to which Mr. Messler responded that had been the applicant's plan before it had become known that the County intended to purchase the Congress Avenue right of way and stated that negotiations had progressed to the point that the purchase should become reality within six months. Mr. Honig suggested imposing a condition on this project that there be an adequate road. Further discussion encompassed deceleration lanes, a possible temporary or other entrance location into the center, and direction to staff to review the private roadway for safety and design. After Mr. McPhail expressed willingness to either upgrade Shadberry Street or to construct a new north /south road within the 140 -ft. right of way with the County's permission, Mr. Honig requested that in his agreement with the landowner that Mr. McPhail be listed as the party responsible for maintenance. Chairman Sabatello verified that all infrastructure and the parking lot would be completed and the vacant pad for future Building C would be sodded and irrigated, and that if Building B were delayed that vacant pad would also be sodded and irrigated. Mr. Ellington explained in response to Chairman Sabatello's statement that the Commission needed to be consistent in their treatment of this project and the one discussed at the last meeting that these bays would have an east exposure and that City Forester Hendrickson believed they were adequately screened from the • 10 • Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes April 11, 1995 roadway. After discussion of the elevations, the architect was requested to soften the architecture of the south and west elevations. Vice Chair Carlino suggested also using landscaping to soften the building, and expressed concern that the building colors might not be compatible. After further discussion, the architect agreed to redesign and bring drawings for the Commission to consider. The Architect for Boston Market agreed to work with the Pep Boys Architect to possibly use the same building colors. Mr. Honig requested that the architect bring a picture of the Boca Raton store to the next meeting. The back - lighted awning was not acceptable to the Commission. Chairman Sabatello requested that the flag pole be shown on the site plan. Chairman Sabatello asked that review by Waste Management be verified. During discussion of signage applicant was requested to remove the signs shown on the east elevation. After discussion of the landscaping of the whole project, applicant was requested to rework the landscaping for the west and south sides of the Pep Boys building. Mr. Messler clarified the direction of the Planning and Zoning Commission/Site Plan and Appearance Review on the following items: • 1. Either upgrade Shadberry Street to meet the City Standards or construct a new north/south road within the 140 -foot right -of -way (tieing into the entrance of Hilltop Mobile Home Park). The alternative selected must be reflected on the development plans and proper authorization must be provided by the property owner(s). 2. Provide sign -off from Waste Management on the proposed site plan. The City's contact person is Mr. Ric Boardman at (407) 547 -4000 extension 121. 3. Address the concerns of lighting raised by the Police Department (see 3/24/95 Matrix Chart). Boston's Market Restaurant 4. Locate the location and height of the flagpole on the site plan and landscape plan. 5. The internally- illuminated awning was not acceptable to the Committee. The Committee preferred a mansard roof with hard treatment as opposed to the awning. The landscaping should not conflict with the proposed awning (or mansard roof). 6. Remove the signs, including the neon "Open" sign, on the east elevation of the restaurant. 7. Clarify all of the colors proposed for the building, including poles and window and door framings. The Committee requested that the colors, finishes and materials of the building be compatible with the Pep Boys automotive center, and that samples be submitted of all colors and materials proposed. • 11 • Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes April 11, 1995 8. Provide pictures of other specially- designed restaurants, particularly the restaurant in Boca Raton. Pep Boys 9. Soften the architecture of the south and west elevations of the building. 10. Consider providing pictures of other specially- designed buildings. I 11. Clarify all of the colors proposed for the building, including service bay doors, railings, poles, window and door framings and wall- mounted signage. The Committee requested that the colors, finishes and materials of the building be compatible with the Boston's Market restaurant, and that samples be submitted of all colors and materials proposed. 12. If signage is proposed over each service bay, please confirm with the Building Department that this is allowed per the City's Sign Code. Each sign, properly dimensioned, should be reflected on the elevation plan, including colors and materials. Chairman Sabatello welcomed the project, and told the applicant that the Commission would like is to see the buildings built and occupied as soon as possible. May 23, 1995 was set as the earliest date possible for the first public hearing. • OLD BUSINESS There was no old business to come before the Commission. NEW BUSINESS Mr. Daniel Honig expressed his concerns regarding the Abacoa Development in Jupiter, citing issues which he believed were not included in the City's requests to Jupiter, i.e., establishing parkway standards for Donald Ross Road similar to those existing for PGA Boulevard, traffic concerns which would result from not building roads before the development was built, and burning of trees which would cause smoke and ash over the City. He requested that the Planning and Zoning Commission become more active in any discussions and presentations regarding the development. Mr. Greg Dunham stated Ms. Kim Glas- Castro, Principal Planner, could possibly give an overview of the project at the next meeting. It was also mentioned that Mr. George DeGuardiola, developer of the project, might be willing to also attend. 12 • :7 Manning & Zoning Commission Minutes Aril 11, 1995 ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 11:30 p.m. The next meeting will be held April 25, 1995.
