Subject: Waiver Request for Maguire Crossing Small Scale Site Plan
Issue:
Should the Mayor and City Commission grant a waiver from the Land Development Code to release
the developer from the requirement of Article VI Section 6-14 C (2) (b) (i). indicating a 25 foot
landscape buffer shall be required along public primary and secondary streets.
Background / Discussion:
The Maguire Crossing project proposes two 1-story buildings, building # 1 with 17,900 square feet
and building #2 with 6,800 square feet. The use will be general retail. The property is located at
the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Maguire Road and Professional Parkway. In order to
proceed with the current site plan, the developer has requested a waiver from City Code
requirements.
The waiver request involves:
• a release from the requirement of having to maintain a landscape buffer 25 feet in
width along Professional Parkway, a primary roadway and instead reduce the buffer
to 15 feet width.
The developer requests this release from having to create a 25-foot width landscape buffer, due to:
• Dedication of 10 feet for future road widening of Maguire Road.
• Also, as an offsetting public benefit, the developer will provide enhanced landscaping.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested waiver to Article VI, Section 6-14 C (2) (b) (i) City
Code to release the developer from the requirement to create a 25-foot wide landscape buffer along
Professional Parkway.

RE: Waiver Request for Maguire Crossing Small Scale Site Plan
Project SS-2004-010
ISSUE
Should the Mayor and City Commissioners grant a waiver from the Land Development Code to
release the developer from the requirement of Article VI Section 6-14 C (2) (b) (i). which
requires that a 25-foot landscape buffer be provided along Professional Parkway, a primary
roadway.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Maguire Crossing project proposes two 1-story buildings, building # 1 with 17,900 square
feet and building # 2 with 6,800 square feet. The use will be general retail. The property is
located at the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Maguire Road and Professional Parkway.
In order to proceed with the current site plan, the developer has requested a waiver from City
Code requirements.
The City Commission has sole discretion to approve waivers from Code requirements based
upon four criteria:
If the project is part of an integrated and master planned development;
If the project is compatible with surrounding developments;
If the project imposes no impacts on City infrastructure greater than that generated by other uses
normally permitted in the underlying zoning district; and/or,
If the project provides an off-setting public benefit which is technically sound and measurable.
The waiver request involves:
• a release from the requirement of Article VI Section 6-14(2) (b) (i) which states that:
"A minimum 25-foot landscape buffer shall be required along
public primary and secondary streets, and a minimum of 15-foot
buffer along public or private local streets. "
The developer requests this release from having to install a 25-foot landscape buffer, due to:
• Dedication of 10 feet for future road widening of Maguire Road.
• Also, as an offsetting public benefit,the developer will provide enhanced landscaping.
Because a Small Scale Site Plan is administratively reviewed (less than 25,000 square feet of a
building), the City Commission will not be acting on the site plan for approval. The City
Commission will be reviewing the waiver request only.
After the City Commission takes action on the waiver requests, Staff will complete its review
process on the site plan, making sure that it is consistent with all Code requirements except for
any waivers that may be approved by the City Commission.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the requested waiver to Article VI, Section 6-14 (2) (b) (i) City
Code to release the developer from the requirement of creating a 25-foot landscape buffer along
Professional Parkway and instead, create a 15-foot buffer with enhanced landscaping.

Mr. Thomas Grimes
RE:Maguire Crossing-Waiver Request
We herein formally request a waiver of Article VI Section 6-14 C.(2Xbxiv).
Specifically,the reduction of the required buffer adjacent Collector Roads from 25'to 15'. The
justification for the waiver would be the dedication of the 10'ROW adjacent Maguire Road. If
you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact Denis or Darcy Unroe(407)351-
4544. Thank you for your help in this matter.
Singly,
