Also attending were Acting City Manager Wayne Saunders, City Attorney Leonard Baird, Jr. and • Planning and Zoning Technician Marilyn George. Minutes of the meeting held April 2, 19$5 were approved as presented. Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Sargent introduced a request for a Conditional Use Permit by Walter Poynter to allow construc- tion of an office building at the southwest corner of Bowman Street and Highway 50 on Lot 1, Sunnyside Terrace. He explained that this CUP had been granted on October 2, 1984, but the signed agreement had not been returned within the 90 day time limit, making the CUP null and void. The list of conditions suggested by City staff remained the same. Mr. Thompson stated that he would abstain from voting because of a conflict of interest. A motion was made by Mr. Evans, seconded by Mr. Rogers and carried by unanimous vote of those members voting THAT IT BE RECOMMENDED TO CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS RECOMMENDED IN THE ORIGINAL REQUEST. Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Sargent introduced a request for a Conditional Use Permit by Bob Wade and Westcott Development for a Planned Unit Development on parts of Tract 4, 5A and 5B; Sec. 29-22-26 in an R-1-A Single Family Residential zone. The conditions peculiar to this CUP were read by Ms. George. Mr. Baird explained that the site plan and other documents presented with the application were enough for the Planning and Zoning Commission to take action, and that all other required documents had been presented and were on file with the City. He further stated that a survey had not been received, but that the site plan had obviously been drawn from a survey, and that such document should be forthcoming. He stated that the word "subdi- vision", as used in the conditions, refers to streets, sewer lines, and other infrastructure. He instructed the members of the Commission to consider the density of the development and whether the the proposed use is appropriate for the area. Mr. Baird then explained that the decision made at this meeting will be subject to the City receiving all necessary technical documents. Mr. Baird, in response to a question from Mr. Evans, stated that he represents the City and no one else in this situation. Joseph Kantor, of Westcott Development, Tnc., described the proposed use of the property in question as "assisted living", 1 CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COHHISSION May '7, 1985 with no actual medical care provided, and explained that the ages of the residents would fall in the '70 to 85 year bracket. He went on to say that the facility is arranged compactly to make it easy for elderly residents to move between areas. In response to questions from Commission members, he explained that the State has stringent requirements for access and fire safety measures • for such projects. He described the buildings as being of concrete block with stucco coating and red file roofs. h1 r. Kantor also explained that thorough demographic studies had been done, establishing a need for a facility of this type in the area. Several questions regarding parking produced the information that, should more parking be required by the City, plenty of land is available for resident, guest and employee parking. Mr. Sargent asked if the road on the eastern edge of the property was to be two or four lane, and was told that the collector street would be built to City standards. Mr. Sargent stated that he had been told that Humana was involved in this project, and was told that although Dr. Mosely, who is part owner of the project, is a consultant for Humana, there is no connection between this facility and Humana. Mr. Kantor and Mr. Baird then explained that the required performance bond would insure that the job will be finished. Mr. Jones asked about the density of this project, which will be 14.2 units per acre, and whether DOT had been consulted about the necessary cut in the Highway 5U median. Ben Blackburn, surveyor of the site, said that after the PUD is approved, DOT will be consulted. The City will also require approval by the Pollution Control Board before construction can begin. Mr. Sargent asked if the project is to be done in phases. Mr. Kantor explained that the first 100 units would be ready for occupancy about q0 days before the second 100 units, creating a phased occupancy, but that the entire development would be begun at the same time. Mr. Baird pointed out that there are provi- sions in the ordinance for a partial certificate of occupancy, and that the performance and payment bonds are in effect until the project is completed. Mr. Robert Turley, present in the audience, asked if the project will permit children because he feared an impact on the schools, but was reassured that the occupancy will be by senior citizens. • Mr. Saunders suggested that condition number 11 have added: "All costs involved in tYie construction of sewage facilities as approved by the City Engineer must be paid by the developer", and that the first sentence of condition number 12 be amended to read "The water line must be constructed from Highland and Bloxam Avenues as shown on the approved site plan at the developer's expense." He then asked Mr. Wade if he had any problem with the conditions suggested by City staff. 2 CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION May 7, 1985 Mr. Wade said he would like to discuss the conditions with the principals and the City staff before the Council meeting. • A motion was made by Mr•. Rogers and seconded by Mrs. McKinney that approval of the CUP, with the staff's conditions, be recommended to Council. The motion was withdrawn by the maker and the second when Mr. Evans asked if it included the amendments to conditions 11 and 12, and Mr. Wade expressed a desire to speak. After the motion was withdrawn, Mr. Wade asked if the City will be responsible for the expense of extending water and sewer lines to any additional property, and was assured that the only consideration at this time is for the Westeott development property. A motion was made by Mr. Evans, seconded by Mr. Thompson and carried by unanimous vote THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMEND TO CITY COUNCIL THAT THE REQUEST FOR A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT BE APPROVED, SUBJECT TO THE 15 CONDITIONS LISTED BY STAFF, INCLUDING THE ADDENDA TO CONDITIONS 11 AND 12, AND THAT FURTHER CONSULTATION ON THESE BE PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL AS REQUIRED. During discussion on the motion, Mr. Jones asked if the project were to be sold in the future, would it be sold as an institution, or could it possibly be sold as condominium units?
