All right. Good morning. We will call DRC meeting to order. All right. Morning. April 30th, 2025 DRC meeting. Uh we'll call it to order.
We'll start with roll call. Community development is present. Police Department present. Public works present. Fire present and building here. Okay. Here not present. Okay. All right.
So, I'll remind all the applicants in attendance that the meeting is being live stream. If you uh are going to speak to DRC, please come to the podium so we can get your comments on the record. First item is an annexation of property located at 1920 Sheiler Avenue and Dr. Jun Son is the project manager.
Good morning. The applicant has requested annexation of the properties located at 1920 Sher Avenue. The total size of the property is um about 40 acres currently using for residential and vacant. Surrounding properties are
residential land use with a residential low density which allows five dwelling units per acre with a residential zoning. The purpose of annexation is for residential development. All right. And I believe the applicant's representative is here. Do you have any questions or comments for the DRC?
Uh, good morning DRC members. Jonathan Hills with the Louns Law Firm, 215 North Yield Drive or Orlando. Uh, we have no questions with regarding the comments. We've already yesterday filed a response letter with the information that's been requested. This of course is the first
step in a multi-step process starting with the annexation. And there's also a comp plan amendment and reszoning application to be that are that has been submitted is pending. Annexation of course goes first to city council and then uh the comp plan and the reasonzoning will follow. This is for
annexation and um proposed development of a single family residential subdivision of about two and a half little less than two and a half dwelling units an acre. So not a a very dense project. I think when you see the site plan, you'll you'll get more feel for it, but it's a it's a um you know,
you'll see this multiple times and happy to answer any questions you might have. Any questions for the applicant? Okay, hearing none. Uh community development has nothing further. Police, any further questions? Okay. Public
works, no questions. Fire, no comments. Thank you. And building? I don't have anything. Thanks. All right. Thank you, sir. Next item cold logistics variance for submitt Dr. Song. The applicant has a requested zoning variance for building height at
location of 2560 West Orange Blossom Trail. The current land use is industrial zoning is light industrial. The land development code allows maximum building height of 45 ft in light industrial zoning. The applicant has requested to variance to increase
building height to 58 ft. Um applicant is here. Yeah, if you wouldn't mind just coming before the DRC and giving kind of an overview of the the request for the variance and the reason for it. Yeah, good morning to Carlos Lopez with
Cold Link Logistics. Uh the main reason for the height variance is uh once we do this expansion, we have been on the property for 2020 and have a a big demand for more space due to customers growing in the area. So once we do this expansion, we would would be landlocked.
So in order to maximize the the cubic space and get as many pallet position as possible, uh that's why we're requesting the height variance. Uh that's where the in the coastal storage industry at a whole is heading with new technology. forklifts are going taller, fire suppression systems, all the technology.
So these buildings are getting taller as the industry is going. So that's that's the main reason for the variance. Yeah. I believe the maximum height that's permitted in zoning districts 45 ft. You're requesting 53. You say 58. Okay. 58. So it's a difference of 13
feet. Um the variance process, how it works is is that the request would go before just the planning commission. Planning Commission would determine whether or not there's a hardship. If there is, uh they would either vote to approve the variance, approve it with conditions, or deny it. The variance
request is denied, it could then be appealed by the applicant to the city council. Uh any questions for the applicant? Anything additional? Um, in regards to the the new building being built there, what are um, this might be something for later on outside
the variance, but with the traffic problems we have coming into the Cold Lake area from I get calls from neighbors quite a bit about parking along the road into the neighborhoods, what's the what's the plan of what you guys are going to do for access points in there? So Josh Enot uh with Kim Horn
200 South Orange Avenue. Um the traffic we we did do a TIA that was submitted with the as a part of the reasonzoning and future land use amendment. So, um, as part of that TIA, we are going to be
improving Mayflower going into the cold link logistics and then, um, we're talking with the DOT on the expanding a left turn lane into um
into Lake View. In Lake View? Yes. Okay. Um, I just want you guys to be aware that, you know, I'm gonna That's a big issue we have there with um I guess it's what I used to call Boy Scout like Lake View and that's what the road is. But um I get quite a few calls from neighbors backing up stacking of trucks into the
neighborhoods in there, the stacking of Lake View. There's quite a few some especially first thing in the morning when you guys are probably receiving a lot of your shipments and um that's something that has to be addressed. It's not not working as of now and we have to address that. So um all right, that's all I got. And just Yeah, just a comment
on the Mayflower. That is something we're seeing and we plan to expand that road. So, you can put it could fit pretty much up to four tractor trailers side to side and then back them up so they won't go on to what's Lake U now. And like Josh said, Lakeu would also get improved with our turning lane so we
wouldn't block the traffic going in or out of there. That's fine. I I don't um I mean that sounds good. I'll be interested to see how you guys come up with a plan. Absolutely. I I like like Chief McKinley normally says, you know, we don't design in here, but um the the idea of it behind it is with you guys expanding
what you have now is not working. So with the expansion comes even more that we have to address. So this something that needs to be taken care of and you know keeping our eyes on it. So thank you. Any further comments, questions for the applicant? Yes. So the left turn lanes
on Lakeville, you're going to have to coordinate that with the county. the the left turn lane's not for Lake View. It's for Orange Blossom Trail. It's extending the existing and that's what the TIA is saying that we need to Okay. What about
a left turn on Lake going into Mayflower? So, all of our traffic turns right into Mayflower. It comes from Orange Blossom Trail. You're looking at the screen. Comes on. So, so nothing will come from the south side. Correct. Okay. Correct.
How do you how do you say nothing's going to come from the south though from the the south side? Because all of our traffic comes from Orange Blossom Trail, which on the north side. So from the south side, there's just residents and a lot of our
traffic is truck trailer traffic. If if there are expansion of employees, some employees might come from the south, but it's it's not um that that's so the south will be pretty much either coming from Binan or Orange,
right? But there's trucks coming from B. And I apologize. I just got called, you know, 20 minutes ago to fill in. So, um my thought is this. I I think that I think you have a point. Um especially with the potential of the 429 opening up
onto when they open the new exit up right there at Bignyion and um what Boy Scout is now. Um is that going to address more traffic coming from that direction? Because if you guys are using the 429 obviously can't really you're looking at the future of it and all but that tells me trucks are going to pull potentially be pulling off and coming
from both directions. No, not necessarily. I think because those are the ramps coming from the north. Oh, it is coming from Cor. So, there's going to be nothing coming from the south on 429. Basically, you're going to have a ramp coming Yeah. southbound getting off and
uh uh there's going to be a deceleration lane and acceleration lane going to the north. So, I don't expect any traffic to come semi-trailers coming through because Bignyion cannot support it anymore. Correct. Correct. Awesome. All right. Thank you.
So I think really what the consideration right now before the DRC is the variance for the height of the building um with the traffic is is a concern though um for the site planning and stuff like that. So right now we're considering the variance for the building height to go
higher than what the code allows. Uh with that uh we'll go around see if if there's any objection to the height variance request um from community development. As of right now, there's no objection. U police.
Okay. Public works. Uh is there any uh what is the main reason for the variance in height? Uh the main reason the main reason would be just so we can maximize our our capacity to store product once we build the
expansion. We have no more land to keep going wide per se. So like I said, the industry is getting higher due to the advances in technology. Is that going to be closer to the road or that height's going to be more on the on the inside in the back of the property that spacing I think is it
Coca-Cola on the side of it? It's going to match. Yeah, that's going to be a big factor of it's going to match the existing building. So, we're going to attach to the existing structure. This one would just be taller obviously than the existing. Okay.
Okay. Just information. Yes, sir. Yeah. No, no other questions. fire. Any objections to the height variance request? No objections. Okay. And building? No objection. Okay. Uh with that, it doesn't sound like there's any objection to the height request from the DRC. However, this would go to the
planning commission. Uh and they would be the ultimate arbiter of this. And like I said, if they deny it, you have the right to appeal to the city council. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, gentlemen. Next item. Hogs Head 4301 Hogs Head Construction Site Plan. Dr. S.
Okay. So this is a second sub middle of CSP for minor development plan of industrial development located at 4301 Hogs Head. The property is about 17 acres with a future land use designation of industrial zoning of light
industrial. um planning has no more no further um comments, but we have not received any comments from um public services. So, yes, uh we we're a little bit behind on this. We're going
to try to complete everything by Friday. We had some deadlines. Actually, we have one deadline today. Okay. To to address on on an annual certification for the state and uh we'll we'll definitely address that. Okay. Yes. Um, the
applicants in attendance, do you have any questions or comments of the DRC? So, this is our second round. So, we're going to get comments by Friday and then how does that work? Do we come back to DRC once we respond to those comments
for a third round? If there planning doesn't have any more comments, if the only outstanding comments are from public works, I think you could just work directly. I think also there was a there was a I think yesterday the meeting was scheduled also
with with the developer for next Wednesday I believe 10 o'clock to go over some of the utilities there and I think that's something we need to take a closer look at. Okay. Um McNei Group
I I think it came from Sean. I think Doug has some correspondence. So I think I'm pretty sure they schedule it for next Wednesday at 10 o'clock. Yes. Okay. Um, so I guess we'll wait for the comments then on Friday. Yes. And we will we'll definitely complete
everything by Friday. Okay. All right. Then I have no questions. All right. Any questions? Any additional questions or comments for the applicant? All right. Hearing none, community development has nothing further, please. Anything additional to add? Okay. Public works. Uh, nothing to
fire. I apologize for walking out just for a second. Um, I know I reviewed this a second time and made a mistake on my review and I apologize to you guys for that. Um, the hydrants were discussed in our review and you guys are running water to this site. Yes. Okay. That's
what I wanted to hear. All right. Thank you. Okay. Building. All right. Everything. Thank you. All right. Thank you, gentlemen. Okay. Next item. Onage South Construction Cyclone First Middle. Jean Sanchez,
project manager. Good morning. This is the construction site plan for Andage South. You may remember this. This is um located south of Andage, west of the Western Beltway. And um it is for 300 is for the
construction of 300 I think if I recall correctly 326 units of uh single families as well as I think there are bungalows proposed for this also. Um, I didn't get many comments from DRC. Planning did a couple comments and they
look pretty um like insignificant to me. I just um placed a note on there that gopher tortoises were discovered on site. So, they have to get their um FWC permit before construction, but that's usually
taken care of in pre-construction meetings and the arbor mitigation as well is due. So, with that said, um I didn't get a chance to get comments from public services. Um Vlad, I just want to make sure everything's good. There wasn't much comments on the
MDP. Um mainly because that wasn't really that was more of a horizontal plan. Yes. Same same thing like the previous one. We're going to I know there were nothing on the on the utilities, but I need to sit down with them and we'll try to complete everything by Friday. Okay. I think in general, I glanced at that before the
meeting. It seems like the left turn lanes, the right turn lanes should be working just based on the MDP comments. But um yeah, if there's anything particular, we'll definitely have the comments ready. Great. Let me know. Um
because once we get approval for CSB, I have to send it out for DRC signatures for the approved plans, but I'm more concerned about utilities and everything else. Okay. Keep me posted. Whatever you guys decide. Exactly. That's there's going to be some conversation on the utilities because Okay, perfect. Yeah,
the other project as you know cancelled the utility extension along. So, and I think Loki is aware of that. So, um well, there was a original plan for I believe GVIN development to extend some
of the utilities along FE. Yeah, that is not in place anymore. I reached out to DA. I showed him um our all of our utility extensions and then I looked at your master plan, the utility master plan back from 2010 that were done and I coordinated with him. I
actually already have an exhibit that I sent him and a draft um utility upsizing agreement. Okay. So that's already uh it's not done but it's in place and and being reviewed by DO. Okay. Uh, the only thing I don't have right now is the values because we're we're waiting on the contractor to separate out the
materials only versus because I know the city only plays materials versus materials and labor, but that's um but the draft agreement is done and the exhibits are done. I can I I I can copy you on it. I'm not sure. I think I might have copied Diana before um you were present. I'll take but I'll send it to
you today so you can have the draft. And Jeremy, I appreciate you working so late last night responding to our emails. We'll um we went back and double checked. We did correct the fire. Uh it is the 47 foot one on this plan. The NDP had the old style fire truck. This one
has the correct firet truck. But we'll I was I was unable to open it on on the new this on this plan which was really odd. It wouldn't open. It was giving me an error. So that's why I went back to that was trying to figure that out. But I did see that you guys uh that you guys updated it which is fine. Those
roundabouts I mean on your auto turns you obviously it's auto turns. It doesn't always show the trucks exactly under where the roundabouts go, but those are roundabouts are size big enough that we're not going to have an issue driving do those. Correct. We have some neighborhoods that seem to be really tight and they're almost drivable
type roundabouts and I'm just curious of what we're doing with these roundabouts. Are they similar? We didn't put medians. We we did not put medians on the off branches so it's just so it should be easier for you. We from everything we're showing in autoturn, the 47 foot truck. You're um I forgot the name of it, but
it's a it's a 47 foot. Yeah, that one should get through fine from what from everything we're showing on autoturn. Um Okay. I don't know if you want us to model something different. No, that's fine. No, I'm good with it. I was looking at it. I looked at it last night and I'm comfortable with it. I just we have some neighborhoods in the city that
are new that Yeah, I'm a little concerned with the way the roundabouts are, but I mean I can understand that. Yeah. Look, one brief question on the There are trees. There is landscaping in the center of that one. I don't mind the landscaping. You'll probably have What
kind of trees do you have on there? I don't recall. I would have to go back and look. I don't know that one. Please don't put palm trees. Please know what I would I I don't like seeing the trees in there just because it's just challenging. What the amount of I'm going to give you my point of view from
a firefighter on a fire truck. Yeah. My view is people hit the trees and they get hurt really bad when they're middle of those islands. You can remove the trees in the shrubbery. I'll look at it. I think what we were asked before was to add the tree like so there's the roundabout. There's also a tree island
to the north. We were asked to add that because the uh you want the visual impedment for drivers to help slow to force them to slow down. um we can remove that but then I think the tree islands don't function the same I think
without the visual impedement um there's a tree here as well as that decision okay I'd say it's really probably under Vlad's jurisdiction now I know Pam was really uh pushing for those for a long time and so that was part of the reason we had those and then Diana
liked them as well but that's something we can and that we can get the plans approved and talk about that during construction. That's not really a big thing for us. We can remove it or have it. It's it you guys just tell us which you want. We can talk about that at precon if if if the city decides to not
do those anymore. The good thing is the street does have parallel parking on the side and so based on all the studies everyone shows if you have parallel parking it helps naturally reduce traffic because you're concerned about a door opening up or someone coming up. So that does help.
But I do know that the the tree islands do offer that visual impement to force force drivers to kind of not go too fast because it just makes you weave a little bit around them. Yes. So this will be a primary access even for crossroads at Kelly Park coming from it. Right. It
looks like because on the west side you're connecting to crossroads, right? Correct. We have two connections to crossroads on the west side and then at the southwest we're connecting to them two different locations. Yeah, I see that. What about the southeast? because I see like a culdeac there. Is that temporary or you going to connect it?
It's meant to be at some point. Correct. Yeah, we're we're stubbing it out. That development that hasn't come in yet for development as far as I know with the city. Um I know that they're actively marketing that property and so they want to develop in the future but um we stubb the rideway the rideway goes all the way to the property line. It's intended to extend further. We just did a call to
sack as correct. Correct. So at that point the culdeac will be eliminated and it will correct. It can be Yep. Okay. Yes. Yeah, it's real hard to see on the small scale here, but yeah, that's what I'm gathering it. Yeah. And one more thing,
just also talk. We discussed the hydrants. I knew you and I discussed it. I discussed it with her. My point was where you guys are making connection to the city's water at Kelly Park. Yeah. Kelly Park. We're going to have hydrants on FE in route. We have them every thousand. So, we're going to change it to every 500 based on the code she
referenced last night. Um, even though the way the the way the code reads is that if you're in the residential or non-commercial, you can do it every thousand, our thought process is really you have the hospital coming on that um east side of Effie Road eventually. They own the property. I don't know what they're going to do, but I know they're
coming at some point. And then there's also some transitional on the east to the south of us. And so our thought is it's probably going to be a mix of commercial and or hospital, you know, institutional. So, we'd rather just for the abundance of caution just say, "Hey, we'll do it every 500 ft just to make
sure there's no issues." So, we're updating our plans and that that'll be one of the changes you'll see five every 500 feet on FE Drive. Perfect. Thank you, sir. No problem. Any further questions for the applicant? All right, hearing none. Community development has nothing further. Police? No. Public works. No
further questions. Fire. No other comments. Thank you. Building. I don't have everything. Thanks. All right. Thank you. The final item on the agenda is Golden Gym Estates construction site plan. Jean Sanchez, project manager. Um this is the construction site plan
for the Golden Gem Estates located on the northwest corner of um Golden Gem Road and Trussell Trail. It's 65 lots. Um and it's kind of the same. I didn't really get much comments from DRC members. Um, I
think I have insignificant comments from planning. I just need to make sure those things are noted. Um, I didn't get any comments from public services either on this bland. So, I'm assuming you'll be the same kind of situation. Just keep me posted. Yeah. So, I can prep the plans
for signature once you all have your comments addressed offline. Okay. Is the applicant in attendance? Yeah, Jeff Summit, Summit Engineering, as Gina alluded to. Yeah, it's pretty minor comments from planning. So glad this one's all you,
man. All you. So I see you have a connection to the Is that Gardinia to the north? That is Gardinia to the north. Yeah. Okay. Uh that's Green Shade Grove Drive. Correct. Yes. On Golden Gem, I believe there is a left turn lane. So the agreement No, not
not on this one. I know because that's going to be interconnected. So the way the the Gardinia Reserve was built, so we we did the extension and the widening of Saddler between Golden Orchard and Gardinia Reserve. So that that portion of Sadler we paved with Gardinia Reserve. Yes. Okay. So Green Shade Grove
goes all the way to the north and hits Sadler. Okay. And there is a left turn lane onto Sadler from Golden Gym Road and there is a right detail as well I believe at the So these three are kind of going to be Yeah. Yeah, it's just I mean forb everything's interconnected. So, and now as far as the left turn lane
with Golden Gym Road on this one because we're working with Kimley Horn on the widening Golden Gym Road, we made the pond bigger so that we could accommodate that they're going to incorporate the left turn lane into this development. Yes, I agree with that into their widening plans that they're doing for the Golden Gym Road. So, that's where the left turn lane on that entrance will
come. I'm asking just because I came late. Sure. No. Yeah. Yeah. I have some history of it, but that's my understanding. So, yeah. And I actually got an email from Kimley Horn. I think Friday. So they asked me for their the design files for this so that they could incorporate that into their perfect
their design set. So I sent that to them on Friday. Yeah, that's good. So really my only question for you in regards to this other than just your standard review comments would be the discussions we had in regards to the lift station and whether we need to adjust the connection pressures on the lift station design.
Yes. Uh we're making some progress on u on the upsizing of the 3,000 ft remaining on Kelly Park. 6 to 12. Uh we reached out to few of the developments and we'll see. I believe one of them
will at least the one across the publics the new publiclix is willing to to work with us on that. Okay. On the north side. So we're going to try to speed up the process and hopefully have that resolved possibly by the end of the year. I just need to know if you want me
to adjust the lift station design connection pressure because I use the standard model I have for the other subdivisions on Golden Gym Road and that's you know as we talked about. I just want to make sure I got this right before we get out there and start. I believe the latest data we had right now what I was told from the field personnel we have about 45
PSI in that constriction area. So that's more than I believe the original was like around 30 maybe. No, it wasn't even close to that. It was like 15. It was I mean, I got lift station startups all the way back from Park View when there was nothing on that force man. Okay. How
far are you going to be from for this one? On this one? Yeah. I'm This one's a ways, man. This one's This a long distance. I mean, I can I Okay, I'm not saying I can't adjust it to 45 PSI, but what I'm what that's You know what that's going to do to me? I mean, I'm just going to be putting in giant
pumps and as soon as you get that and as soon as that restriction gets reduced, it's going to go That's exactly what we're trying to avoid. We need to upsite that 6 in to 12 and that will resolve all the problems. So, if I need to if I need to design off the old original master plan numbers, that's fine. Um, I
just don't want to get out in a situation where we get to a lift station startup and that 12 in hasn't been connected and all of a sudden we're pumping off the pump curve. Okay. Let let me sit down with them maybe tomorrow and we'll probably give you a call sometime tomorrow. Okay. Cool. All right. Thanks. Okay. Uh, community
development has nothing further to add. Police, no. Public works. Uh, no other comments. Fire. No comments. Thank you. Building. All right. Everything. Thanks. All right. There are no other items on the agenda. Anybody have anything for discussion? Yeah. Where's the I thought
the Junth uh road closures were going to be on this because it's got to go to council to approve the road closures. So, we did not receive anything to bring to DRC. That would be from recreation.
Which which the Junth celebration Yeah. So I don't think our code requires you to go to council for road closures. It just has to be reviewed. We have just historically done it. Planning has done it in the rare times. Just to let people
know. I've been in the council meetings where we brought these parade because we do it because we chose to we'll look into it and see what we go to council for the Martin Luther
King road closures. You know, I I don't know if we're my just my comment um is that you know u we need to keep in mind that if the promoters are going to do road
closures. They need to coordinate with us and we're going to need um 8 to 10 offduty officers and that's going to be otherwise we can't recommend the road closures. So I I don't know where that's
going to go but yeah it doesn't I just want to get that on on folks radar. I mean whether it goes counselor or not I don't care. I just want to make sure the promoter understands upfront if we're going to close down roads that we need we need
probably 8 to 10 officers. So, and I don't want to wait till the last second before that's that's addressed. Steve, I believe it doesn't necessarily have to come to DFC. I believe we can put it on the consent
agenda at the next council meeting. We time. Okay. Because I'm I'm I'm placing one for next week. Mhm. Which is going to be the roundabout uh on Bin Road. Okay. I I I just I don't
want them to be surprised. Hey, you know, nobody said anything. And so when they're doing the permits and submitting the permits and stuff for the road closures that they're going to need offduty officers. Okay. Yeah.
There's nothing in the land development code. Everything about closure is solid waste. It's under solid waste management. And then one is just a site design thing. Uh we'll look into it. Yeah. That's fine. I was specifically
briefed by the chief to bring this up today. So, all right. I I'm good either way. Okay. All right. Anybody have anything else before we adjourn? We're journed.
