for the growth management department. I'm presenting a revised major final site plan application for a property owned by SSTI 1990 Northwest Federal Highway 1 LLC. The applicant extra space storage is
requesting approval of a revised major final site plan to construct a two a twotory 63,114 square ft self storage facility and associated infrastructure on
approximately 2.51 acres currently utilized for outdoor storage space. Included is a request for a certificate of public facility reservation. The subject property is located just
west of Cedar Point Plaza at 1990 Northwest Federal Highway in Stewart. This is uh Cedar Point Plaza and about half a mile south of Northwest
Brit Road. This is an enlarged aerial of the site. The property's current use is outdoor storage. This is the area. South of the subject site there is a twostory self storage facility.
To the east you'll find Cedar Point Plaza and to the west a. 40 acre common area dedicated to the Vista Commons Owners Association which is this one.
The future land use destination is commercial general and the suning district is general commercial. The property is about a church located on medium density land use to the south and to the west parcel A which is the common
area dedicated to the Vista Commons Owners Association. This is the first sheet of the proposed site plan. Access to a property is from one location on Northwest Federal Highway, which will be around here.
The applicant is requesting alternative compliance from the primary facade transparency administration provision of division 20 article 4 or the LDRs the commercial design. The applicant will provide renderings and elevations with
the presentation and this is an enlarged version of the site plan. Development review staff have found the extra space storage application to comply with all applicable regulations and the comprehensive growth management
plan as detailed in the staff report. Staff recommends approval of this application. This concludes my presentation and the applicant has prepared presentation and is ready to answer any questions. >> You have any questions for staff? Any questions for staff?
>> I have no questions for st Oh, yes I do. So the uh area that's owned by the association that can never be developed. Correct. That's >> that is correct. >> Okay. So that's a buffer in effect. >> Yes. >> Okay. Okay. You're up, sir.
>> Right. >> While we're doing that, good evening. Craig McDonald with Court Property Services on behalf of Extra Space Storage. I'll run you guys through a brief presentation, show you some of our pretty pictures here. This is 1990 Northwest Federal Highway. This is the
site. As I said, we've got uh existing extra space storage units there where we're going to propose in the new building. going to be where you see the outdoor storage vehicles that are there. >> Sir, may I interrupt real quick? Paul Schilling, growth management director for the record, but would you please turn in the return the uh affidavit of
mailing? >> Thank you, sir. >> Appreciate that. >> Yeah, of course. No worries. >> All good. >> Yes. >> Okay. So, yeah, in that buffer area back there is a storm water area. Um, we're going to remove the as part of the PAMP,
we're going to remove the exotics from it and post the signage back there and get it get it all cleaned up prior to CO, but it won't it will never be developed. That's common area for the association. So, the request for major final site plan approval to construct a two-story 63,114T
self-s storage facility and the associated infrastructure where the outdoor storage currently exists. We are requesting alternative compliance relief from the transparency and fenestration for commercial buildings um per the criteria Martin Martin County Land Development Regulations.
This is just the colored site plan you can see um in brown is the proposed buildings. The other ones in gray are the existing you can see the buffers we've got um around the west and north areas in the in the parking and
landscaping on the east there. These are the colored elevations. Part of the alternative compliance we're requesting relief from um we're supposed by 20% of the bottom floor with transparency. As you can see on the east elevation right here and I'll go this
one and the south elevation. We've got all the drive up um storage. The ones that you walk into, you go through the main entrance. They're on the second floor. So, we couldn't comply with the transparency, but we did provide decorative lighting throughout the first floor. This has really got limited
visibility too um for this location really to uh um the east um we're just you know we're on the east elevation we're providing faux windows changes in color material texture split face block CMU cement plaster the architectural
details we're finding decor decorative cornis features at the raised parapit there's really no negative effects the back the east and north is the back side of that shopping center which is really not very sightly as it is on the west It's buffered by about 170 ft of that storm water and they've got 50 to 100
foot large trees back there. So, they won't see our two-story building. We got twotory there already. On the south is just the other exterior um or I'm sorry, the extra space storage buildings there. So, this architectural design is far superior than the existing that's there. And let me show you the rendering we've
got. Here's a rendering what the building's going to look like. Show a little dress up dress up the area back there. And uh we're consistent with comp plan goals, objective policies. Um we agree that no land clearing will occur until
erosion control devices and um pres barricades preserved barricades are put in place and inspected. Um I told you about the PAMP. The landscaping meets or exceeds code. Um traffic impact is minimal and we are in compliance with storm water management, flood
protection, parking and loading, water and sewer, fire prevention, ADA and addressing. and we agree we'll take care of all the post condition of approval. Happy to answer any questions y'all might have. >> Any questions for the applicant? >> Nope. >> Mr. Mr. Chairman. >> Yes.
>> Uh Paul Schilling again for the record. So Mr. Aglar may have touched on it, but we do also have which is typical with storage facilities parking rate reduction. Um if do would you like to talk about that or um is this typical
with this type of operation the parking rate as opposed to um the typical rate right? >> Do you have any questions on that? >> Well you now that you've mentioned it I think we should put it on the record. >> We use the same parking ratio that was
used for the two existing buildings and the parking that's required there and here this this generates such little trips. I think we had 11 uh peak hour PM trips on the roadway. So, it really self storage is, you know, not your normal retail type of building that you would
need the same type of parking for. >> Okay. Any other questions? So, tell me about what you're going to do with the PAMP. >> So, in the back in that storm water area, it really hasn't been kept up to speed all that much. We're going to work with the landscaping department here. We're going to remove the exotics that
don't belong there and then there'll be signs placed around the perimeter. um identified as a storm water protection area. >> And what about drainage on on the site itself? >> Where are we draining to and so forth? >> Well, I think we we we have our own
drainage on site, but we we outfall just like the rest of the properties do in the association back. That's a storm water management tract in the back. >> That is >> Yeah, that's where the exotics will be removed from. >> I have I have to ask that since my colleague who would have asked that is not here tonight.
>> Okay. Any other questions? Thank you, sir. >> Yep. Thank you. >> Do we have anybody from the public that wishes to address us? >> Um, I guess my only question is >> No, no, no questions. You got to come up, fill out a piece of paper, and then
you can address us. Come on up. I mean, you went all the way to camp here in the rain. You should say something. >> Well, my name is Jane Sbury. I'm the president of the association that you're going to back up to the Vista Deago and I came to ask questions about the
buffering in the back. We do have some trees there and our residents are um concerned that the twotory building will especially from the second floor of our um condominiums will look out there and see that. Um but are the trees large
enough? >> Well, no. No, it doesn't work that way. That's your question? >> Yes, ma'am. Yes, sir. >> Yes, sir. Please, if you're all done, I'll bring you bring him back up to answer your question for you. >> Thank you.
>> Come on. >> Yeah. To answer that question, we we're providing a whole row of buffer trees. We have a 20 foot landscape buffer before you get to that 170 foot uh storm water area. So, there won't be anything back there. But the trees that I think above your development there got to be 75 to 100 ft if not higher. So, those
are all going to remain too. We have twotory buildings already there. Yeah. So, it won't be any different than that. We didn't go any higher that in respect to the residential development back there. So, you shouldn't have any more. >> Do we have a landscape uh plan?
>> How do I go backwards on this? >> There you call plan one, too. You got the There you go. >> And what is what what I I there's no way I'm reading that from here. So, what are you planting? >> Let me look and see myself what the
trees are there. But you can see there's quite a few trees in that 20 foot buffer back there that were going all along the north and the west side which also mature after time as well as the front. >> You have a big buffer. >> Florida red maple is what's being
>> What is it? >> Florida red maple. Florida red maple. >> And what size are they going in? >> Minimum planting size is 12t by 4. >> Sir, would you please come to the podium and identify yourself? Thank you. >> I can do that.
>> Good evening, commission. Uh Chris Thompson, Z development services civil engineering consultant on the project. So, looking at the landscape plan, the plants or the trees planted along the west side there are uh red maple. And
I'm looking at it, the planting size is 12t x 4t with a 2 and 1/2 in uh caliper for the the um trunk at >> how how how much time does it take for them to grow? >> That is a good question that I don't
necessarily have the answer to. So within two to three years they'll be the height of of the 20 ft correct. >> What's I would I would assume they would be quickly approaching that. So and and as Craig has pointed out uh previously,
you know, there's a line of existing mature trees that is on the other side of the stormwater management area there between the >> Can you pull up the area? between the um apartments there, there's a there's a power easement and then all
along there is a uninterrupted line of of mature trees that are well above the height of the the building there. >> Okay, thank you. >> Okay, back to the board and I got a motion.
>> Julie, would you like to say something? Just to say something. >> I would like to say good evening. >> Good evening, Julie. And uh thank you all for being here. And I don't see any students on here this evening. So next time let's bring some students here. Okay. >> How does that sound?
>> Thank you very much, Mr. Cess. >> You're welcome, sir. >> Okay. Can I >> second? >> Okay. All in favor? >> I >> I passes unanimously. 300. >> Thank you very much. >> Have a great night. Thank you,
