We have 5:30. We'll call the meeting to order of the um December 2nd, 2025 meeting. If everybody will stand for the pledge of allegiance, please. Pledge allegiance to the flag, United States of America, to the republic for
it stands, one nation. Vicki, will you call roll for us? Mr. Ash Mr. Murphy uh Mr. >> Mr. Dittle >> here >> Mr. Well >> and Mr. here.
Should be stated that the two two absences are unexcused. >> Correct. >> They have not notified staff. >> Okay. >> Unless they show up late. >> All right. So, before us we have the minutes from the November 4th meeting.
Has everyone had a chance to review the minutes? >> So, we'll entertain a motion to approve the minutes as presented by staff. Got everybody. Just everybody. All right. So, we got a motion. It's been seconded. Any other discussion or any points for the minutes to uh discuss?
All right. Then we'll move to a vote. >> Mr. >> Yes. >> Yes. All right. All right, we have one item to discuss tonight and it's a development order application 2510 Autos
Car Wash. This is at 1801 Highway 77. Murer, will you give us a summary of the project request? >> Sure. Thank you. So for Auto's car wash, the applicant is seeking a development order. Uh this property is located at
1801 Highway 77. Uh if you uh if you want to picture where that is on on 77 that's right near our rail trails property just an idea of where it's
uh it is not in the CRA district. It is in our corridor overlay district and it does meet the requirements of the corridor overlay district. It is also not in any special flood hazard area or flood zone.
That's good as well. And then uh this vacant property is about 2.03 acres in size. Car wash would be what uh you see is a a similar car wash in today's fashion with an automated tunnel. Uh just one of
those and then circle around the site to wash bays, vacuum on the site plan. And then there's some parking towards the northern part of the parcel for employees, things like that.
Um and then there are bicycle uh areas provided near the vacuum parking area. So uh it would be uh that's that similar one way in around the site and then back out on 777 and
the applicant has been working with FOT and with the result of this development there is a right turning requirement for the site provide Um, this project has met has been found to be in compliance with all of the city
unified land development code and Florida State requirements here before you tonight for consideration. You have any further questions, we'll be happy to answer them. And a representative here tonight, they'd like
to speak more about the project. Okay. Is anyone [clears throat] else uh here on behalf of this project like to speak or present? >> Sorry. I'm Sean McNeil of McNeil Carroll Engineering, 475 Harrison Avenue. Um I I'm here to answer any questions you may
have. If they're very difficult questions, I may not be able to answer them, but I'll do my best. >> Yeah. >> So, obviously, we've we've worked on Mr. Ashbrook and I was talking earlier, we we've worked on this project. I think it came this is the second time at least maybe the third time it's come in front of this board. It used to have another
ancillary building and didn't have a use for it. The propertyy's been sold to wild co-op and um or wild opco or something um and they look forward to building this uh single use property for a single use uh being the car wash. Mhm.
>> So, if you any questions >> is uh is it typically is two acres kind of like a typical site for a car wash that you know of? Is that does that seem like a larger than normal site? >> Oh, I wish I could that's probably something AI could answer for you in a couple years. You know, what is a
template for what kind of properties you're going to develop? Because properties are always different sizes. It's hard to answer that question. We've done some car washes. Uh I would say you're looking acre and a half, two acres would be the minimum size. a minute. >> You can see this one's kind of it's kind
of big, but it's also, you know, has a lot more spaces than other car washes. >> Thanks. >> Right in, right out, right? >> Um, taking a left and heading southbound out of this property. Doesn't look like
it looks like it's got a something that prevent southbound turns out of the out of the You can't egress southward. You have to go north and then maybe hang a UEIE somewhere. >> That is correct. It's right in right out configuration >> and we've applied for the DOT permit and
there's a traffic study in your report uh signifying basically the warrant for a right turn lane. >> Does anyone else from the public uh like to comment? All right. you mentioned um that this item came up before the committee. I'd
like to reference it. Came up August 1st, 2023 is when we first actually discussed this. Uh we went back and kind of reviewed the minutes. It was uh recommended approved at that time uh unanimously. And so um [snorts] thought we had talked about it even more
recently, but this was the minutes out there. So it was August a few years ago and it's a new developer than was presented last time. This group is appear to be out of Tennessee. So, um, any other questions or items of concern
that you guys like to speak about, ladies? All right. Seeing there's no other public um, uh, comments and that uh, we have been presented a staff report that complies with the city regulations. Is there a
motion to recommend this to the city commission? >> I move we recommend it to them. Any further discussion? All in favor, please. Uh, sorry, almost did roll call again. I promise I'm going to get it at some point. Miss Vicki,
will you give us a vote? >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. All right. Shar, if you'd like to give us a city planner report. >> Uh, yes. just to uh talk about what was
discussed at the last uh planning commission meeting in regards to seven brew. That plan was presented to the city commission on November 11th and that plan was approved. So the development order has been issued. Uh they now have a year to begin
construction on that which in talking with the developer I think they want to get started right away. So we would expect to see building plans come in pretty soon. So that's that's our understanding. But that plan was
approved. So that is complete. And then uh we do have some plans coming up through uh the pipeline. So probably expect a meeting again in January. Whether it's one plan or multiple plans,
we don't know yet. pretty likelihood that we will have a meeting. So, uh that would be January 6. So, that in your calendars. Um I just want to express this is the last meeting
of the year for the year 2025. Um I know I've only been here a few short months, but I want to thank everyone for their time and their effort this year and any subsequent years. Um, not only have you made me feel welcome
as a new member of this team, but uh, I know that sometimes this job is definitely a thankless job. I think we about thankless jobs before the meeting started. Um, but what you guys do are very important and play a vital role in this city and you give up your own
personal time to be here. So on myself and maybe behalf of the whole city, I just want to say thank you for your time and your dedication to this board and I know I really appreciate it and I'm sure the city and the residents appreciate it as well. So with that, I will say happy
holidays to you. I know I missed the Thanksgiving, but we're going into the the end of the year. Happy January 2026 coming soon. And there is also a tree lighting ceremony going on in the park next door uh that the city is putting on
from 5:30 to 8 tonight. You're welcome to go over after this meeting and join in the festivities and I I hope that you're able to at least for a few moments and then be careful with all the traffic too. But uh thank you and happy holidays.
>> Do have uh one question kind of a procedural question as well. So if if we do have a commissioner that is uh has too many uh unexcused absences, is there need to be a recommendation from our board to the commission to remove that person or is it more of a disqualification via uh standards? Do
you know what the U procedures are on that? >> I I do not believe formal action is required by the board. I do I did tell Vicki that I do think it's important she report it the absence uh to the city manager so that he can then report it to the commission and they can discuss yes
there's a vacancy and we need to find somebody else or direct staff otherwise. So >> okay >> so no formal action but no formal action by the board but there is some ministerial action that needs to happen. >> Okay. >> Uh from your clerk. >> Okay. deal because my um we had seven
meetings this year, right? And so um to miss three consecutive um it's almost like you have to be trying to not come. So uh we may have several positions to be filled. So talking to people soon and if need to help or anything with any of
those conversations, let me know. >> Yeah, we'll certainly let you know and let the board know and thank you for that. So, um, we will keep the board updated on developments regarding that. >> Okay. >> Anything else from the commissioners?
>> Merry Christmas. >> Thanks for your help this year. We're making it moving some dirt. Sandy dirt. >> Yep. >> All right. All right. We'll uh adjourn. See everyone next year.
