NEW BUSINESS CASE NO. 1- 7SE- 90:GOINS Vice - Chairman Colburn opened the public hearing by reading the title of the staff report for the continued public hearing from August 13, 1990, to request a special exception of the proposed automotive retail tire sales store in Good Homes Plaza. Bruce Behrens, Director of Planning stated that the owner of the tire store requested a special exception in a "C -2" zone in Good Homes Plaza. At the August 13, 1990 Board of Adjustment public hearing it was determined that the board members did not have sufficient information on the noise level of the tire store and such would have to be provided before a recommendation. Upon the request of the Board of Adjustment, City Staff, Allen Goins (the developer) and Lynn Skipper (representing the Rose Hill Homeowners Association), conducted several decibel reading tests both at the proposed tire store location and at the Allied Discount Tire Store located on Silver Star Road in Pine Hills. The outcome of the tests indicated that the decibels did not exceed the permitted 70 decibels (per City Code). The buffer wall on the north side of the property has been installed and the developer has agreed to additional landscaping between the northern boundary wall and the tire shop in order to further muffle sounds as well as enhance the appearance of the tire ‘Ire shop as viewed by the Rose Hill subdivision residents. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 12, 1990 PAGE 2 Ali✓ As requested in a motion from the August 13, 1990 Board of Adjustment meeting, define "closed facility ". Planning Director Behrens stated that closed facility means that no work should be conducted outside the building, in the area between the building itself and the northern buffer wall. Planning Director Behrens read to the board members Section 4.5 Powers and Duties, from the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Ocoee. Behrens stated the staff's recommendation was to approve the special exception. Behrens closed and asked for comments from Gretchen Jacobs. Gretchen Jacobs, 9127 Queen Elizabeth Court, Orlando, Florida 32818 (Rose Hill Subdivision Homeowners Association) stated that she would like to include in the minutes a few safe guards and they are as follows: (1) the noise; and (2) that the property continue to look as good as possible - (a) guarantee that business would not be conducted between the store and the wall, (b) no storage of tires outside of the buildings, (c) no leaving compressor on and/or put timer on compressor. Gretchen would like to see in the record that these safe guards have been given. Then the H.O.A. would feel better. Gretchen stated that the H.O.A. loves the way the shopping center looks and they are excited about the wall. Another concern of the H.O.A. is the landscaping. Gretchen stated that there has been some discussion by Allen Goins that if the wall is not enough of a barrier then he would consider raising the wall two feet (2'). Gretchen wanted to know what could be done to the wall since it was not a brick wall. Lynn Skipper, 9126 Queen Elizabeth Court, Orlando, Florida 32818, commented about a living wall - that a time frame of the trees depending on the type of trees may take years. Gretchen commented that she would like to talk to the landscapers on the design of the living wall. Rocky Goins did not see any problems in this request. Rocky Goins stated for the record that they (A.G. Development Group) are here to stay and they want to do what is right for the community. Rocky commented that the wall was a very expensive Norwegian brick wall. He stated that trees will be going behind the wall and that he would be willing to get Gretchen and the landscaper together. fir.
