Chairman Vogel asked Mr. Ellington if the condition concerning the replacement of trees will be a standard condition for future developments. Mr. Ellington said it would. Ms. Serra asked why she did not have the development plans in her packet.

Mr. White said the sign does not meet the new code, but it meets the restrictions listed in the PUD requirements for the site and are therefore acceptable under law. Mr. Hamzy also stated that the 25 foot high light poles for the site were too high and should be lowered. Mr. Lioce added that the tall light poles could cause a visual distraction for nearby residential neighborhoods.

Ms. Serra questioned a staff condition that required the petitioner to return to the Planning and Zoning Commission for approval for a change if the drainage easements exceeds 20 feet. She added that Commission approval will not be necessary if the development plan is only shifted and not dramatically changed. Chairman Vogel added that it should be left up to staff to determine if a change in the project's design caused by the location of the drainage easements will be substantial enough to require approval • from the Planning and Zoning Commission.
