Good morning. We'll call the July 23rd, 2025 DRC meeting to order. We'll start with roll call. Community developments. Present. Police. Mike McKenley. Public works. Dale Smith. Fired. Jeremy Holfield and building is not present. We'll start out with the first item on the agenda.
It's a plat oaks at Kelly Park phase 4. Jean Sanchez is the project manager or is in the Okay. Sorry. Good morning everyone. So this is a fa uh plat for a phase 4 for the Oaksite Kelly Park subdivision. It's um consists
of 50 lots. It's the final phase of the entire subdivision and the zoning for for the property is a mixeduse KPI neighborhood and the future land use is mixed use and staff and applicant are available for further questions or comments. Any questions for air
and the applicant are is it attendance? Any questions for the DRC? No. Okay. I'll just add that being that this is a plat the state law has changed and therefore it's not required to go to planning commission and city council for approvals anymore. It's only a staff level approval
with that. Community development has nothing further. Please. I just want to make sure I'm reading this um site right. Uh Golden Sable Alley. That's a two-way alley. Uh, it's a one-way alley. It doesn't have any arrows on it. And this is a plat. So, this is basically a
um recordation of the lots and the streets. The construction site plans took care of all that stuff. I just want to reiterate, we've got to address these oneway alleys in some manner because uh and I think the developer needs to work with public works. Our garbage cans, our garbage
trucks can only go one direction and the garbage can has to be on the right hand side of the road. So something either it needs to be in the HOA documents or the alleyway needs to go to a direction that because our garbage trucks do not have an exemption
under Florida statutes to go against the flow of traffic. That opens the city up to liability. So I'm going to ask you to work with public works to make sure that that's going in a direction it needs to go. Public works. Yes. because this happened, you know,
the plans were approved, you know, a while ago. I will go back and look at the construction plans and get with the engineer. It may just be a matter of reversing, you know, the direction and changing a few signs. Okay. Fired. I have no comments. Thank you. Okay. Next item. Wild oak infrastructure
mass grading construction site plan revision first. Jean is the budget. Good morning. So, this is a revision to the approved construction site plan for the infrastructure for Wild Oaks. Um, the proposed revision really just has to
do with the storm water as I understand it. They had to revise the drainage area. Um, I didn't receive comments from public services just yet. Um, so if you have comments, please send it over to me and I'll be glad to relay it. Or if you don't have comments, please let me know.
I actually put the comments in late last night, but uh the only comment that I have because it is such a minor revision. I really would like to understand the drainage for the area and without a good, you know, drainage nodal map on a drainage basin map, you can not
figure the calculations out. So, I'll get with the engineer and ask them to, you know, send me and I'm sure they've got it sent to me so I can go through all the calculations. But yeah, it was approved previously and like I said, it's a it's a minor change. Okay. I'll double check on um our portal
today for the comments from last night and um if I see it, I'll reissue the comment letter. Okay. Any additional com questions? Is the applicant in attendance? Does not appear to be. Okay. Community development has nothing further. Police?
I don't. Uh public works. Nothing further. Fired. No comments. Thank you. Okay, I skipped this one. Ryder TNSA remodel and June is the project manager.
So, this is property located at 6 4661 Apaka Logistic Parkway. The applicant is requesting install of new chain link fences. Um fences will go around the existing industrial building for security purposes. The building is
approximately 1.2 million square ft. Uh proposed fence will be 8 ft tall made of carbonized chain link and topped with a barbed wire. Uh the future land use is industrial zoning is PD and per this PD
ordinance type of industry uses will be is allowed. Um applicant is here and Steph is available for any question and comments. All right, applicants here if you'd like to address the DRC.
Yes, good morning. I'm Hunter Martin with Kimley Horn. So, as you said, it's an existing site that the client is adding two guard shacks and some fencing for safety. We're showing the fence on our plan just for visualization. The contractor actually pulled the permit
already to install the fencing and everything. Um, so we're gu we're guard shacks northwest corner, southwest corner and with associated utilities for and access with electric gates. A couple things I had questions was relating to
fire access. We got two electric gates at the guard shacks that'll have the knock boxes, the keypads, and the click to enter. But for the manual gates, um, can it just be a key knock box?
You can do a um that would be fine. They can do a key NOX for the manual or they can do a key pad pad lock. Whatever works for as long as it stays with that Knox type where it's one consistent key for us. That's all I'm looking Okay. Yeah. I I think they they've uh they'll provide the keys to you guys. I
just wanted to make sure because of the two different scenarios electric and so So you mean as in manual like I'm kind of confused. So we have two entrances of guard sacks. Correct. Correct. We've got two entrances. So you have two existing driveways to each truck port. And so on the northwest and
southwest corner where the guard tracks are, you'll have your electric gates. And then on the opposite side, you'll have manual gates that'll be closed. That way they can limit from a safety perspective entry. Yeah. And those will be fine if they want to do a NOx pad. Okay. They want to do that because what they'll do with
those is just so you're familiar with it, you guys will have a lock. We have a lock. They're locked together. So if we want to unlock, we can go without affecting your lock. you guys can open your lock without affecting our lock. You see what I'm saying? So they No, that makes perfect sense. Like the power company. Yep. All right. Thank you.
The only other thing that's come up the client has recently brought up that they want to widen those two existing driveways, northwest and southwest corner from 30 feet throat width to 50 feet from a safety turning movement perspective. as it's a private driveway, private access road. Is there any
concern of widening those or to 50 feet? I'm fairly new with the city of Apopka. I'll really need to look at Vlad and see if there's, you know, an issue with that, you know, on private property. There probably shouldn't be. Okay. But I'll get back with you.
Okay, that works. That works. Um, the only other thing as noted, I think we got a comment here about, as I said, the contractor. We're showing the fence for visualization to coordinate our utilities and the guard shacks. The contractor got a permit that has, you
know, galvanized and and barbed wire, which here I believe there's a vinyl coated and powder coated. So, I didn't know if there's a variance we have to file. So, can there can if they've already pulled the permit for the fence, what
I'm just trying to figure out what what we do next. They've already got a permit for the fence and have started installing the fence per that permit. Did the permit have the bar wire and everything? That's that's what they said. I tried to get the information the permit and I can
get that and forward it over you guys. Yes. The permit. Yes. I I tried to get it before. I apologize, but yes, I'll get that. And then as far as the special variance for the the security, I think it is for the barbwire. Is that form something you can send to
us or letter? It's a letter. It's called a security exemption plan. You have to justify why you need that. Okay. Obviously, it's safety and security for the site. So, but we can spell that out a little bit more. All right. Outside of that, that's all I
have. Any questions for the applicant? Just out of curiosity, are the guards armed, unarmed? That I do not know. I'm assuming unarmed. I think it's just from a access standpoint to make check the trucks in as they're coming in to unload. So,
they're, you know, from keeping the right trucks going where they're supposed to on which side of the building. Safety. I can if I can confirm that with the client. If you could just email me directly, that's fine. Not a problem. Thank you. Are they 24-hour guards? Sure. I'll confirm that.
Doesn't Doesn't sound like it if they're putting the uh entry pads in and everything. Yeah. And with it being electric, I don't know, you know, how often they got be there checking trucks in or not, but I'll confirm both of those and I can send you guys an email. Thank you.
All right. Community development has nothing further. Please. Anything else? Thank you. Public works. If you just send us a sketch on the driveways that you want to increase the radius and I'll get back with you. Absolutely. Thank you. Fired. No comment. Okay. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Next item, Lisa Lane subdivision construction site plan second submitt near homes as project manager. So this is a uh minor subdivision plan CSP plan for 11 single family lots and uh the zoning is RTF residential two
family and future land use is residential avail suburban and uh applicant and staff are available for further comments and questions. Okay, is the applicant in attendance? All right. Hi, my name is Ian Clark with Kimley
Horn, um the civil engineer for the project. Um and I think the one question we had um was to clarify the request for the TIA. Um just because I feel the the traffic generation is below the code
requirement of the 400 trips. Um so we could just get clarification on that requirement. It's due to the project getting a lot of like attention from not only residents but also the city council
members. Mayor, could you go please? So, so basically the you know it's been the project's been getting a lot of attention from uh the the residents and also one of the city council members. So, it was mentioned that traffic impact analysis would be beneficial for the
project. Yeah, I think it'd be beneficial also because we have numerous complaints on Christian and we've had to put speed humps on Christian to control traffic. Uh, and you're adding traffic to that road that we've already tried to improve for traffic complaints and traffic safety.
So, I think it would be a benefit to our community to have that done. Any other questions or comments for the DRC? I guess one uh the other question was to follow up on the any engineering comments. I don't believe we've received any yet as of yet. They were actually posted yesterday.
Okay. And you know, there's, you know, a couple of comments that we have is one is the actual off-site discharge. It looks like it's going into somebody's backyard. And if you look at the aerial photographs, it looks like there are some, you know, wetland trees in the
middle of the property. So it makes me think that, you know, your property is really holding more water than what you've got. And you show everything between the outfall and this gentleman's backyard is being cleared. So he's going to see the water coming at him where he's probably never seen it before. So
we need to work with your engineer on that. I'm going to try to walk the property this afternoon and I may add some additional comments. Okay, understood. One thing I'll add is being that this is under 25 lots. The land development code treats this as a construction site plan
minor development plan and it does not require public hearings. It's only staff level approval. And now with the platting statute that's changed as well, it's only a administrative level approval as well. Are these lots consistent with the and the home being proposed consistent with
the lots and homes already existing on Lisa Lane? Um yes, they should be following the same um zoning requirements and lot configurations. Any additional questions? Um you guys will be providing with our
auto turn for the fire department, correct? Yeah, we can provide that. All right. Thank you. We make sure they have the right truck size. Well, I'm just concerned about that um turnaround at the very end and whether or not the fire truck can turn around in that because you're going to have to
make it sufficient for them to be able to turn around. Have you had any meetings with adjacent property owners to inform them of the development? Um as the owner, I would have to follow any meetings. It might be a wise idea just for them to
reach out to the adjacent property owners, let them know what's coming. Y Thank you. Any additional questions or comments? There's three lots that actually access Lisa Lane through your property. So,
they're going to have driveways, you know, from their property to the new road that you're building. Yep. And we'll uh incorporate those driveways into the plan. Okay. Into the design. Okay. Community development has nothing
further. Please, I don't have anything else right now. public works. I don't have anything, but I'll give you a copy of my written comments if you want them now. Okay. Thank you. Fired. No comments. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Okay.
Next item. 4101 Golden Gem Road residential construction site plan. Jean Sanchez is the project manager. Good morning. This is the proposed construction site plan and this is the second submitt for uh the Golden Gem
residential subdivision. Um this is situated uh east of Golden Gem Road north of Capitol Reef Way. Um I didn't receive any comments from public services for this either. I don't know if yall had any comments, but I know
there weren't I don't think there were much comments from the first submittal either. I just wanted to double check that's correct. Is that right? I posted comments again yesterday. Yesterday. All right. I will I'll go ahead and double check portal again and
um I'll send that over to the applicant. Otherwise, I had no extra I had no additional comments apart from what I've issued and that's been that's my comment has been addressed. So, is the applicant in attendance? All right. You have any questions or
comments for the DRC? Hi, this is Troy Cosmus with Kimley Horn. Um, thank you Jean. That was one of my questions was whether the the gopher taurus comment was addressed. So, sounds like it is. That's great. And Dale, yes. Hi. Um, yeah, we um, so I did
receive the comments yesterday um, from the engineering. It seems like those are the only ones left to address. Um, with this being the second DRC, can we just respond and and work with you on those comments and not go to a third development meeting? Right. You can work directly with me and that way there won't be any back and forth until they're ready to be
approved. Okay, great. I think you heard my comments earlier and you have oneway alleys also. Yes, this issue's come up since I made my last comments. Um, again, I' I'd like you to confirm with public works as you move forward that our garbage trucks and
other members. I mean, place of fire can go against the flow of traffic by Florida statutes, but our garbage trucks can't. Okay. Uh, yes, we did receive a comment from, I guess, Josh. I'm not remembering the last name, but um we switched the like the directions indicated on this
plan have been updated and now they the north alley goes to the east and the south alley goes the same direction to the west so that the garbage trucks can pick up from the homes on the on the right hand side of the road. So we we've addressed that but um from understanding we need to also check to see that other
that emergency vehicles can go against the flow of traffic. Well, we're exempt from under Florida statutes if it's an emergency, we can go against the flow of traffic. Got it. Um, but u the garbage truck not being able to and if they're going against the flow of traffic and an accident happens, the city's liable for that. Okay.
Um, and they can only pick up obviously with the arms on one side of the garbage truck. So, your residents either have to know that unless their garbage is on the right side of the road, it ain't get picked up. So, okay. Got it. Yeah, I think I believe that's
But if you've worked it out with them, then it should be fine. We have. Okay. Thank you. That's that's all I had. Was was the auto turn provided on this? I will double check, but I believe it has. There's a sheet in our plan set with an autoturn exhibit.
It was in there, but it was in there with the alleys going the other way. So, they'll actually have to rerun it. Okay. We will rerun that then. Thank you. Okay. Yep. And the one question that I have now that we've turned that one alley around, I had asked about do you need a turnaround there because you
you're directing traffic to that spot and then it's now one way the wrong way, right? So yeah, I yeah, I appreciate that comment because I was actually uh reviewing that with uh with McKenzie, the project manager, and we've placed at the end of the at the through the the two-way lane
at the middle, we put a right turn only sign there at the end to avoid because I mean, you know, garbage trucks are any truck, but even like vehicles, there's nowhere to really turn around. So, we're we put a right turn only sign at the end of that the two-way street on the east. Okay. Thank you.
Is that that'll work? Okay. All right. Any additional questions or comments? Community development has nothing for the police. Anything else? Public works. No other comments. Building or I'm sorry, fired. Okay. Thank you very much.
Any items for discussion? Onward.
