The applicant has proposed that the vacant property be developed as a commercial shopping center and combined under one ownership, with the property to the north, which has highway frontage on State Road 50. The final commercial site plan would combine this site with the site to the north, which is currently in the County.

Planner Curt Henschel introduced this request by saying that the applicant requests a CUP to develop a Planned Unit Development/Shopping Center between Highway 50 and the undeveloped portion of Hook Street. The shopping center will consist of a maximum 161,000 square feet of retail space and 5 out parcels along Highway 50. The northern portion of the project is currently being annexed into the City of Clermont (zoning prior to annexation was County CP Planned Commercial), and the southern portion of the property is currently part of • an existing PUD associated with the Hills of Clermont development and College 4 City of Clermont MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION • December ?, 2004 Page-S- Station Center. This southern area was originally zoned for multi-family use. The applicant is proposing to "overlay" the new shopping center development over the existing PUD and establish a new planned unit development with commercial uses in this area. With the right-of-way of Hook Street running along the southern end of the parcel between the proposed development and the existing residential development, staff believes this is an appropriate buffer between the two uses and recommends approval of the request. Mr. Henschel made special mention of Section 6, #2, which states "The permittee shall construct a landscaped buffer, in excess of City regulations, that effectively provides a visual barrier along the rear of the shopping center. This landscaped buffer is to be constructed at the time of construction of the shopping center." Chairman Pape asked if the applicant was present and would like to speak on behalf of the project. • Cecelia Bonifay, Esq. of Akerman, Senterfitt, 131 W. Main St., P.O. Box 39, Tavares, FL 32778 explained the annexation and the combination of property owned by Trycon and the property formerly owned by Greater Construction which has been bought by Victory Investments, to develop a commercial planned unit development. Jim Loftin, 6772 Beaver Trail, Midland, GA 31820 who is with Victory Investments of Columbus, GA., stated that they have met with the homeowners association in Hills of Clermont, which is just south of the proposed project, and that they had answered concerns of the residents. He went on to say that J.C. Penney was the proposed anchor tenant, and that it would not be a big box, but would be upscale and aesthetically pleasing. He went on to say that some other tenants would include a book store, electronic store and restaurants. Chairman Pape asked if there was anyone in the public who wished to speak to this issue. Wayne Payne, 2694 Pine Shadow Lane which will back up to Hook Street when it is completed expressed concern with the additional traffic, noise and the lighting from the shopping center across the street. City of Clermont MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION . December 7, 2004 Page - 6 - Grace Vanderkuyl, 2715 Pine Shadow Lane, opposes the project. She stated the residents were originally told the entire property owned by Greater Construction and called Hills of Clermont would be residential. She is concerned with the traffic and the noise. Harold Democker, 2718 Pine Shadow Lane, Clermont, FL., opposes the project and suggested the project be relocated somewhere else in town. Concerned about traffic, noise, delivery trucks and fears he will lose his privacy. Deadre Carey, 2639 Cedaridge Circle, Clermont, FL., opposes the project because the traffic is already horrendous. She is concerned with safety and does not want it in her backyard. Nicky Dubash, 2706 Pine Shadow Lane, Clermont, FL., opposes the project. She is particularly concerned with the safety of the children at the school bus stop and the noise that will be generated by a project of this size. Donna Shanoski, 2755 Cedaridge Circle, Clermont, FL., opposes the project. She wants to maintain the privacy and quiet of her home and does not want this • project in her backyard. Joe Crawford, 2707 Bond Street, Clermont, FL., opposes the project. Expressed concern that kids would be hanging out in the parking lot of J.C. Penney, that the lighting, and truck deliveries would be disturbing to the neighborhood. He also expressed concern with traffic safety. Rafael Balles-Ortiz, 2691 Pine Shadow Lane, Clermont, FL., opposes the project stating that everything has changed since he bought his property. He is concerned with traffic, noise and the congestion. William Gray, 2225 Kings Mill Way, Clermont, FL. opposes the project in support of the residents of Hills of Clermont. He thinks commercial development to the east should be stopped. Chairman Pape closed the public portion and asked the Commission for questions and comments. Commission Member Pierce asked who owns the property just to the west of the proposed project and east of Hancock Road. n 6 City of Clermont MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION . December 7, 2004 Page-7- Cecelia Bonifay explained that will be acquired by Victory Investments and will continue to have the same designation that it has today, which is multi-family with 6 units per acre. Commission Member Sy Holzman stated that the multi-family was intended to provide a buffer between the commercial and single family residential. Commission Member Miller stated that the history of Hills of Clermont has been lost because of the changes in City Staff through the years. She proceeded to inform those present that the Hills of Clermont was originally planned as a single family residential development and went on to explain that when the new High School was built there was no way to access it except to realign Hooks St. Ms. Miller said that the Hills of Clermont gave the ground for that purpose. Greater Construction was going to build town homes on the property north of the realigned Hooks Street. The community has changed from all R-1 zoning to include multi-family and commercial. Ms. Miller stated that the community has been completely interrupted, there are no facilities and no place for the children to go. Commission Member Miller suggested that J.C. Penney and the shops adjoining it would be more workable if it was turned to face State Road 50 because the traffic on Hancock Road is a serious consideration. She also commented that she did not like the staff recommendation that Hooks Street be considered a buffer between the uses. Chairman Pape asked if the developer has approached F.D.O.T. about the possibility of a traffic light at Hancock Road and Hooks Street. Mr. Lofton stated that they have engaged an engineer to do a traffic study, but that he did not have an answer today. He said that they would be open to discussion about redesigning the site and that it might be even better for J.C. Penney to face State Road 50. Commission Member Rhee asked where the water retention would be. Mr. Lofton explained that the water retention would be underground. Commission Member Rhee then asked how F.D.O.T. could allow a left in from State Road 50 so close to an intersection with a traffic light. Scott Gentry, of K.C.G. Engineering, 1700 N. Orange Avenue, Orlando, FL. said that they would be allowed to have the left in at that location because there is a 7 City of Clermont MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION w December 7, 2004 Page-8- left in to the Target shopping center across the street already in place and this driveway would just be opposite that one. Commission Member Holzman cautioned that people would be trying to go from one shopping center to the other through those left turn openings. Commission Member Mathieson stated that Steve's Road and Citrus Tower Blvd. will relieve traffic on Hancock Road. She also expressed the opinion that the shopping center is too dense, and that it might work with less square footage and suggested the project be redesigned. Chairman David Pape suggested that it might be time for a motion on the Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment, but in the matter of the Conditional Use Permit he suggested that even though there have been meetings with the residents of Hills of Clermont there seems to be an undercurrent of opposition expressed here tonight by residents of that community. Mr. Pape suggested tabling this item until some of the concerns can be worked out. Commission Member David Outlaw expressed concern that the parcel that faces Hancock Road that is being excluded tonight . He also expressed the opinion that in the meetings with the homeowners, they went for the best opportunity they had because of the lack of commitment and follow through in the past. He said that he remembered the meetings in the past that for the other concessions the existing owner of Greater Homes, who were fine people who you could bank on at the time looked them in the eye and said this will be the buffer, we will do a larger wall, we will do our wall and your wall whatever is necessary to keep that vision in place. He stated that he is against this going forward as it is tonight. In the matter of the Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Commission Member Miller moved to denv the request: seconded by Commission Member Pierce. The vote was unanimous for denial of the request. In the matter of the Conditional Use Permit Commission Member Holzman moved to denv the request; seconded by Commission Member Pierce.

In order to keep competitive with other markets the applicant feels this is a necessity for his business.

Due to the fact that the City of Clermont's public parking lot is located near by, there is on street parking in front of the business, and the applicant has a signed parking agreement with the neighboring funeral home. Staff recommends approval of the request. The applicant, Michael Floyd, 209 Pleasant Hill Drive, Clermont, FL., stated that the building his business is in now was built around 1938 and that it no longer suits the needs of the business.

There was no one. 10 City of Clermont MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION N December 7, 2004 Page -11 -- Commission Member Miller mentioned the steep slope and asked if there were plans for a retention wall.

The 1.5 acre parcel is zoned PUD with C-2 (General Commercial) uses. The proposed use required a Conditional Use Permit. The Land Use District and Classification are appropriate for this use. The applicant's representative has provided all necessary applications and data required for staff to process a Conditional Use Permit. There is a mixture of general commercial uses in the vicinity of the subject property. The proposed Conditional Use Permit meets the intent, and is consistent with, applicable sections of the Land Development Regulations.

The property is surrounded by commercial development, adjoining a fast food establishment and a shopping center.

J 12 City of Clermont MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION • December 7, 2004 Page - 13 - Planner Curt Henschel introduced this request by saying it is to amend Resolution No. 1114, which is a Conditional Use Permit to allow a Planned Unit Development to include commercial and professional office uses. This amendment is to revise Section E entitled Transportation in order to allow direst access from one of the commercial out parcels to Highway 27. The out parcel is located at the north east corner of the intersection of Highway 27 and Hartwood Marsh Road. Staff does not support this amendment request. With traffic counts growing yearly at the intersection of Hartwood Marsh Road and Highway 27 staff believes that adding the access point will only congest an already busy intersection. 9.

The out parcel is located at the north east corner of the intersection of Highway 27 and Hartwood Marsh Road. Staff does not support this amendment request. With traffic counts growing yearly at the intersection of Hartwood Marsh Road and Highway 27 staff believes that adding the two access points will only congest an already busy intersection. Chairman David Pape asked if the applicant was present. Cecelia Bonifay Esq., Akerman Senterfitt, 131 W. Main St., P.O. Box 39, Tavares, FL 32778 representing B.P. ,Publix Super Markets, and Lennar Land Partners in all three requests stated that the main issue is about the access to Parcel #1 in the Publix shopping center at Hartwood Marsh Road and Highway 27. Ms. Bonifay stated that B.P. feels that to utilize this site they need direct access from Hartwood Marsh Road and from Highway 27. She suggested discussing this matter before any other because without the requested access there may be nothing else to discuss. • Chairman David Pape asked if there was anyone in the public who wished to speak to this issue. Jim Purvis, 4206 Hammersmith Drive, Clermont, FL. 34711 said that he was originally opposed to the Publix development. Even so, it was approved with many conditions. Access is not the only issue. He said he would address the access issue now, but would like to reserve the right to come back before the Commission regarding other issues. Chairman Pape suggested that Mr. Purvis speak to all the issues now. Mr. Purvis stated that the curb cuts being requested tonight were originally requested by Halverson when they built the shopping center. He said that everyone involved at the time agreed that those were not the proper places to have curb cuts. There are existing constraints on hours of operation at the shopping center and everyone who does business there is, and should be subject to those constraints. Next, Mr. Purvis stated that the signage agreed upon for that parcel when it was going to be a PIX station was the name of the station only, and that there would • be no signage denoting price or types of gasoline. He also stated that PIX had 14 City of Clermont MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION • December 7, 2004 Page - 15 - agreed to a height of canopy that would discourage large trucks from using the station to fuel up with diesel fuel. He stated that hours of delivery and overnight parking are issues as well. Mr. Purvis absolutely opposes the proposed curb cuts and any change to the conditions that are in existence, and that were the result of many hours of negotiation. Jerry Turner, 4322 Hammersmith Dr., Clermont, FL 34711 opposes the request for the additional curb cuts for direct access citing traffic safety and stacking issues. William Gray, 2225 Kings Mill Way, Clermont, FL 34711 is opposed to the curb cuts for the reasons given by Jim Purvis, along with traffic safety and stacking. Doreen Hoffman, 2153 Winsley Street, Clermont, FL 34711, stated that Whitehall did not approve the Publix shopping center in the first place. She opposes the direct access requested. • Commission Member Holzman stated that this is a bad plan and that allowing the curb cuts as requested would be dangerous. Cecelia Bonifay stated that the transportation engineers and planners for B.P. think the requested access is necessary and would not request curb cuts that would pose a traffic safety issue. Commission Member Pierce stated that the consensus is that the intent of the original Conditional Use Permit was to limit access to the out parcels from inside the center and that he opposes the requested curb cuts. Commission Member Mathieson stated that the site works as it is and opposes the requested curb cuts. She said the conditions in place should be adhered to. Commission Member Miller stated that she has the same concerns as already expressed. Leslie Bachelor, Area Development Manager for B.P. said the access is not adequate the way it is now. She said B.P. would consider making the Hartwood Marsh Road a right in only, but insisted that they must have access to and from Highway 27. • Commission Member Miller said that this may just not be the place for B.P. 15 City of Clermont MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION • December 7, 2004 Page -16 - In the matter of the request to amend Resolution No. 1114 Commission Member Holzman moved to denv the request; seconded by Commission Member Miller.

Commission Member Pierce stated that the gas station was the wrong use for this location and urged that the request be denied by voting against the motion. • The vote was 6-1 for approval of the request with Commission Member Pierce voting "nay". DISCUSSION OF NON-AGENDA ITEMS Commission Member Miller mentioned that there should be a stop sign in Citrus Tower Village between the Belks and Publix because of a dangerous situation. It was also mentioned that several stop signs that blew down at the Kash and Karry parking lot during the hurricanes have not been replaced. Assistant City Manager Darren Gray said he would look into those situations. There being no further business the meeting was adjou David Pape, ATT~ST: `~ ~~~ ~ ~ • J,j ~ e C.
