So we'll we'll stop there, give the commission an opportunity to have questions on the routine action items.

4:10

Um Vice Chair Mohica, any questions?

4:14

No, thank you, Mr.

4:16

Chair.

4:16

All right, fair enough.

4:17

Keep going.

4:17

Thank you.

4:18

All right, now we'll move on to our non-routine items, starting with item number 12.

4:24

Uh, this is uh the applicant is basically requesting several use permits for various uses, uh, basically to allow certain uses within the CR district to reduce separation as low as 66 feet and to allow uses that are not in conjunction with the resort hotel.

4:41

Um staff is recommending approval of use permits three, seven, and ten in denial of use permits one, two, four, five, six, eight, nine, and eleven through thirteen.

5:00

In terms of where we came up, where we came to that is we don't have much of a problem with the urgent care facility, outdoor market, and live entertainment because a lot of those things are basically already being done, or they're far enough away from the residential to the west that we don't really see much of a problem for the remaining uses.

5:11

Basically, we just think a lot of these things should be within the CG zone and without knowing exact locations and what exactly is going to go into a particular suite, reducing the separation down to 66 could cause a negative impacts on the neighbors to the west.

5:28

Enterprise Town Board recommended approval of use permits one through three with use permit number three being limited to an urgent care only.

5:36

They also recommended approval of use permits five through 11, and they recommended denial of use permits four, twelve, and thirteen.

5:45

We had 14 cards in support and nine uh cards in uh protest, one letter in protest.

5:53

Mr.

5:53

Chairman, I have a question.

5:55

Can I ask that?

5:56

For sure.

5:57

Go ahead.

5:57

Go ahead, Commissioner.

5:58

Can you uh enlighten me as to why the staff would request a denial of uh use permit number one and two?

6:08

No problem.

6:12

I mean it's a vocational or vocational training facility and an instruction or tutoring facility.

6:20

Uh those don't seem to be too onerous, but help me understand why the staff I think it's mainly the kind of the principle of um those are generally more suited towards lower intensity uh commercial zones.

6:34

So this is within a CR zone, so we're they're trying to encourage more entertainment entertainment type uses there.

6:46

Okay.

6:48

Thank you.

6:50

Any other questions?

6:52

Okay, very good.

6:53

Continue, staff.

6:55

All right, item number 13 is a waiver of development standards uh to basically legalize a 442 square foot uh addition.

7:04

Uh there it was an addition that uh a previous addition to the house, so they never finished their building permits, so they're reducing the rear setback now from 17 from 20 to 17.

7:15

Staff is recommending denial just basic uh basically as a self-imposed hardship.

7:21

Uh Paradise Town Board recommended approval.

7:23

Uh we had 10 cards in support to cards in protest.

7:29

The next item is item 14, and this is companion with items uh 15, 16, and 17.

7:36

Uh, this is a plan amendment from ranch estate neighborhood to uh neighborhood commercial with an accompanying zone change from RS20 to CG along with the removal of the neighborhood protection overlay.

7:48

Um that'll be items 14 and 15.

7:51

16 is the vacation, which is to vacate and abandon uh rights of way for uh D test sidewalks and patent easements.

8:01

And then uh the waiver development standards is for reduced buffering and modified residential adjacency standards along with um alternative driveway geometrics.

8:11

Uh they're doing a three, basically a three-building, 17,000 square foot uh retail complex, basically three retail complexes.

8:20

I believe one has a um a drive-through.

8:24

Uh we're recommending approval of the vacation, uh, but denial of the plan amendment and plan amendment zone change, waiver of standards and design review.

8:34

Uh we find that this kind of level of commercial is probably a little too intense next to the uh RMP that is to the west, directly to the west and south, and that uh removal of the RMP overlay is kind of detrimental to that area.

8:50

Uh Enterprise Town Board recommended approval of the plan amendment, the zone change with a reduction to CN commercial neighborhood and the VS, along with waivers of development standards number one and three.

9:05

Uh they also but they recommended denial of waiver of development standards number two and the design review uh with uh and they wanted to add the following if approved condition operation restricted to county daylight hours.

9:18

Uh on the plan amendment zone change waiver standards, received one card in support, and then we received two cards in support on the vacation.

9:26

We received 10 cards in protest on the plan amendment and the waiver of standards, 11 cards for the zone change, seven cards for the vacation, and then we add two letters in protest for the zone change and vacation, and three letters on the plan amendment and waiver of standards.

9:42

So that'll move us on to our final set of items, which will be 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22.

9:50

Uh this is again a plan amendment and zone change from uh ranch estate neighborhood and this time to mid intensity suburban neighborhood, along with a zone change from RS20 to RS 3.3 and removal of the RMP overlay vacations for uh detached sidewalks.

10:05

Um vacations for uh DTAT sidewalks.

10:09

Uh here they're basically doing a design review for a 57 lot uh single family residential subdivision.

10:15

Uh where they're abutting the RMP, they're gonna be doing 10,000 square foot plus lots with uh the appropriate setbacks.

10:22

Uh the only waiver they have is to increase the driveway width, which is for the ranch homes that'll be adjacent to the RP for basically RV garages.

10:30

Uh staff is recommending denial, uh similar to the previous one.

10:34

It's a little too intense next to the RMP, and uh we're trying to protect that RMP area.

10:41

But in general, we we're supportive of the the design of the subdivision itself, but since that uh plan amendment and zone change are not being recommended for approval, we need to basically deny the the whole set.

10:54

Uh Enterprise Town Board also recommended denial of all five applications.

10:59

Uh we had one card in support on the plan amendment and zone change, four cards on the VS, and two cards uh for the waiver standards and support.

11:07

We had 11 cards uh in protest for the PA, 10 cards for the zone change, and nine cards for the vacation and waiver of standards.

11:17

And with that, that'll conclude our non-routine items.

11:20

Thank you, staff.

11:21

Um, I'll open it back up to the commissioners for questions.

11:24

Commissioner Kalarski.

11:25

11:26

Chair.

11:26

I just have one question.

11:27

11:27

Draw vacated to the east of the left?

11:35

Calde sac.

11:36

Up to you know, between that uh bulb and CIMRON.

11:40

Uh my understanding is they're actually gonna dedicate to the bulb.

11:44

So it is east of the bulb to Cimron.

11:47

It is vacated already.

11:49

Yeah.

11:49

Okay.

11:50

Thank you.

11:51

11:52

Non-Routine Discussion Items

  • Item #12: Applicant requested multiple use permits for various uses in a CR district, including reducing separation distances to as low as 66 feet and allowing uses not in conjunction with a resort hotel. Staff recommended approval of use permits #3 (urgent care), #7 (outdoor market), and #10 (live entertainment) but denial of the others (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11–13). The Enterprise Town Board recommended approval of #1–3 (with #3 limited to urgent care only), #5–11, and denial of #4, 12, and 13. 14 cards in support and 9 cards in protest were received. Commissioner Steve Kirk questioned why staff recommended denial of use permits #1 (vocational training) and #2 (instruction/tutoring); staff explained those uses are more suited for lower-intensity commercial zones, whereas the CR zone encourages entertainment uses.
  • Item #13: A waiver of development standards to legalize a 442-square-foot addition by reducing the rear setback from 20 feet to 17 feet, due to incomplete building permits for a previous addition.

The applicant proposed a three-building, 17,000-square-foot retail complex with a drive-through. Staff recommended approval of the vacation but denial of the plan amendment, zone change, waiver of standards, and design review, citing the commercial intensity as too detrimental to the adjacent RMP to the west and south. The Enterprise Town Board recommended conditional approval (with reductions to CN commercial neighborhood and VS, and operational restrictions to daylight hours) but denial of waiver #2 and design review. 1 card in support on the plan amendment/zone change, 2 cards in support on the vacation; 10 cards in protest on the plan amendment and waiver, 11 cards on the zone change, 7 cards on the vacation; plus 2 letters in protest on the zone change/vacation and 3 letters on the plan amendment/waiver.

The only waiver was to increase driveway width for ranch homes with RV garages. Staff recommended denial of the entire set because the plan amendment/zone change was too intense for the RMP.
