3. Discussion Re: Transportation Access Management Proposals — Todd Peetz,
City Planner.
Todd Peetz, City Planner, advised that he intended to attach the Luke Transportation
Study, however, he did not know this item was on the agenda. He gave an overview of
the draft Cape Canaveral State Road A1A and N. Atlantic Avenue Access Management
Plan, dated August 2005, prepared by Miller Legg. He commented that the draft was
provided to City staff for comments and was prematurely placed on the agenda. The
Board directed City staff to work with the Attorney's office to have proposed
recommendations converted into ordinance language.
3. Recommendation to City Council Re: Amending Section 110 -538, Relating to
Encroachments — Anthony Garganese, City Attorney.
Kate Latorre, Assistant City Attorney, gave an overview of the draft ordinance. She
advised that research could be performed for additional criteria, if needed. The Board
members reviewed the draft ordinance.
Randy May, designated agent for Ambassador Services, explained that the conveyor
system would be constructed to cross over only the front property setback through the
air; the structure would be 20 feet high and would reduce down to 5 feet at the base; the
purpose of the structure was to reduce the amount of truck traffic on George King Blvd.;
currently, it take four days to unload a ship by truck, and would only take 24 hours using
the conveyor system; the operation was twice a month now, and once a week starting in
October; and approximately 64,000 tons of rock is unloaded from a ship. Mr. May
presented schematics of the property relating to the property lines, location of the
conveyor system, and the location of the easement. Discussion followed. Following
discussion, the Board agreed that restrictive criteria should be added to City Code
Section 110 -354, regarding size, number and distance. Todd Peetz, City Planner,
advised that he would have a draft ready for the Board's review regarding the criteria at
the next meeting.
Motion by John Fredrickson, seconded by Leo Nicholas, to recommend approval of the
proposed draft, with the wording "conveyor belt" being changed to "conveyor system ".
Vote on the motion carried unanimously.
