(PLANNING DIRECTOR WAGNER) PRELIMINARy/FINAL SITE PLAN, PROJECT No. LS-00-008. Planning Director Wagner presented the staff report, giving the background and displaying the site of Florida Auto Auction on the overhead. As requested by this Commission, a master plan had been provided in order to provide a base line for reference when reviewing these proposed improvements and any future improvements. Mr. Wagner advised Phase 1 and 2 involve providing a paved surface over a large portion of the eastern and northern parts of the site, along with the appropriate stormwater management improvements, and turn lanes on Marshall Farms Road. Phase 3 involves additional paving and retention pond improvements near the south end of the site and realigning the Story Road entrance at the north end of the site. The traffic analysis showed impacts on most of the roads and intersections immediately adjoining the site and the proposed Development Agreement provides details of how and when each of the mitigation requirements will be satisfied. Mr. Wagner pointed out that the Preliminary/Final Site Plan includes numerous waivers from the current standards for new development. However, since most of this property is already developed and the new development will be an extension of that same development pattern, and given the unique characteristics of the site and the operations of the Auto Auction, Staff has determined that all of the proposed waivers are acceptable for this site. He advised the Development Review Committee had met September 6 and most of Staff concerns discussed at that meeting had been resolved. There were still a few issues remaining which required policy direction from the City Commission and the need to make some modifications to the Land Development Code. In a special session on September 7 those issues were addressed by this Commission and as a result of the decisions made at that meeting, an amendment to the Land Development Code Page 3 of 11 Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting September 19, 2000 will be presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Commission in due course, and a Development Agreement has been negotiated. Based on the recommendations of the DRC and the Planning and Zoning Commission, Staff recommended approval of the Preliminary/Final Site Plan for the Florida Auto Auction of Orlando, as date stamped received by the City on September 13, 2000, subject to: 1) approval and execution of a Development Agreement addressing transportation and other issues; 2) the stipulation that proposed piping of the ditch/canal is conditioned upon City Commission adoption of an amendment to the Land Development Code exempting such piping from the definition of "development"; and 3) incorporation of the attached Staff comments into the plans prior to November 1, 2000. The motion regarding this item was made following Mr. Rosenthal's presentation for the Development Agreement. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (NOT A PUBLIC HEARING) City Attorney Rosenthal directed attention to the handout he had distributed just prior to the meeting and asked that when acting on the Preliminary/Final Site Plan, Commission use this most recent document, as the memorandum dated September 13 was circulated before he received the Auto Auction's comments. Those comments have been incorporated into the Plan, and they have reached substantial agreement with respect to the Development Agreement. He then listed the highlights of the Development Agreement. The public hearing was opened. Mrs. Janet Rohe, 821 Marshall Farms Road, owner of WGTO, expressed concern that the rumble of heavy trucks would affect her business which is a recording studio located across the street from the Auto Auction. Mr. Bill Tipton, State Traffic Engineer, stated that the only trucks that will be using that road will be the ones which have fought their way down Highway 50, because most of the trucks will be coming from 1-95. Mr. Marshall Vanlandingham, a neighbor, offered to give Mrs. Rohe enough dirt to berm her property to insulate against sound. As no one else wished to speak, the public hearing was closed.
