FLORIDA AUTO AUCTION OF ORLANDO. (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

DRC and the Planning and Zoning Commission, Staff recommended approval of the

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

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

Plan, and they have reached substantial agreement with respect to the Development

will be the ones which have fought their way down Highway 50, because most of the trucks

her property to insulate against sound.
