The City Clerk will, in six (6) months, report to the Council the worka- bility of the time schedules outlined in Resolution 30, 1984 for considera- tion of incorporating into the City's PUD Code by Ordinance. A cony of Resolution 30, 1984, together with a sample time table in processing PUDs, will be attached to the application forms. In response to the requests of members of the City's Planning and Zoning Commission and Site Plan & Appearance Review Committee relayed by Vice Mayor Monroe, Mayor Martino suggested that the City Clerk's office continue to make plans a part of applications for development approval available to them for pick -up prior to their meetings. This will be a topic of discussion at a future Council meeting. RESOLUTION 31, Mr. Kirk Stetson, authorized agent for PGA Savings & Loan, addressed the 984- Council pursuant to their request to locate a trailer on their premises within Loehmann Plaza's "out - parcel" at 4060 PGA Boulevard as a "temporary conditional use" per the provisions of Section 13, Article VII, Zoning of the City's Code. City Council Regular Meeting, 5/3/84 Page 4 Mr. Stetson oriented the Council with the permanent banking facility approved ® by our Site Plan & Appearance Review Committee at their meeting of February 7, 1984:; then, the temporary facility, to include one drive -up teller, they propose to locate to the south for conducting banking business during the permanent facility's approx. 18 -month construction. The temporary structure would be a double -wide mobile unit. It would be placed on the parking lot, including four stalls being used for the P.G.A. Cinema, with suitable tie -down facilities, They would add wood decks from both ends to enter the building. They are proposing to have an extensive program of both temporary and permanent landscaping, with the permanent per the plans approved by our Site Plan and Appearance Review Committee. Janitorial service would be utilized for removal of garbage/trash daily. It would have public restrooms. Water service would be provided by Seacoast Utilities and electrical service by Florida Power & Light Company. They would tie in the drainage plans approved for the overall project. For sewer service, they would have a temporary septic tank that would be abandoned with the City's permission; otherwise, it would be removed. The temporary facility does not meet the setback requirements of the City's CG -1, General Commercial, Zoning Classification. Councilman Kiselewski and Vice Mayor Monroe were not in favor of this request, as they felt it would be setting a bad precedence for future projects that would also like to get a head -start in their business trades Councilman Kiselewski felt that the hardship/emergency had not been established by the applicant and that unlike the pre - manufactured banking units administered under the Department of Community Affairs, the mobile units administered by the State Department of Transportation would not meet the City's Code requirements. He also noted that it would cause a potential security problem for the City's Police Department as mobile units are not secure buildings. This request will be further workshopped by the Council at their meeting of May 10, 1984. Mr. Stetson will present architectural elevations and the security provisions for this temporary facility, and address any further inquiries of the Council. n �J • City Council Regular Meeting, 5/3/84 Page 5 ORDINANCES: By a unanimous vote of the Council, the City Clerk read on first reading, by ORDINANCE 10, title only, Ordinance 10, 1984, providing for the creation of the "Sabal 1984 Ridge" multi- family PUD, proposed to be located on the 20 -acre site of the formerly- approved "Winchester Courts TI" multi - family PUD on the west side of Milita y Trail, adjacent to the P.B.G.
