216 Pine Avenue Site Plan Public Hearing to be Continued

The City of Anna Maria’s January 19, 2010 Public Hearing to consider the preliminary/final Site Plan approval in the ROR zone district at 216 Pine Avenue (Lots 1 & 2, Block 46), Anna Maria Beach Subdivision, Third Addition has been continued. The Planning & Zoning (P&Z) Board members unanimously voted ‘yes’ on a motion to continue the hearing on February 23, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. The applicant (Pine Avenue Restoration, LLC (PAR)) is required to bring, to the Feb. 23rd hearing meeting, a revised site plan showing the buildings separated by 6 feet, one building on each lot (to comply with Comp Plan policy that says one residential unit per lot), a height of 27 feet, a revised number of required parking spaces based upon 2 parking spaces per residential unit, the density (units per gross acre). I am not clear on the stipulations regarding parking design.

Before the above motion was passed, another motion had been made. P&Z Board member Sandy Mattick had made a motion that the site plan be approved with stipulations. Those stipulations were that the buildings be separated by 6 feet, one parking space was to be added to meet the two parking spaces per residential unit requirement, and the structure was to be limited to 27 feet. P&Z Board member Mike Yetter seconded the motion. Bob Barlow, Sandy Mattick and Mike Yetter voted ‘yes’ to approve the site plan with those stipulations but Jim Conoly, Chair Frank Pytel, Margaret Jenkins, Randall Stover voted ‘no’. Prior to this motion, Chair Pytel expressed that they were not just tweaking, that it was a major ‘redo’ with space between the buildings and new setbacks. Mr. Stover said that it was most important that an exact plan of the buildings and the setback line be brought to the board.

(Please note: My summary above was written from notes I took during the hearing. It is not a verbatim account and details of the stipulations may not be described perfectly. However, I am sure of who voted for and against the motion for ‘approval with stipulations’ and for the motion for 'continuance of the hearing to a date certain'.)
