OPEN DISCUSSION
Barry Brown, Planning Director, advised that the City Council approved the East
Central Florida Regional Planning Council contract to handle the city's visioning
process, not to exceed $43,000. He encouraged the Board members to
participate in the visioning process. He gave an overview of the visioning
process. Discussion followed.
John Johanson voiced a concern regarding insufficient parking for condominium
units with individual driveways. He explained that each townhouse unit is
required to have three parking spaces, and a condominium unit is only required
to have two parking spaces. He advised that the condominium units do not have
sufficient parking on their driveways, so they park their vehicles on the road in
front of their units or on the driveway with their vehicles extending over the
sidewalk, which creates a pedestrian safety concern. He suggested that the City
code be changed to require condominium units to have a sufficient number of
parking spaces. Brief discussion followed. Barry Brown, Planning Director,
advised that he would research the matter and bring_ the issue back for further
discussion at the next meeting.
