A resident of Solana Lakes commented that the City knew about the traffic hazard and approved the Oak Park development anyway. Discussion followed regarding property rights. Lamar Russell explained that the City has not exceeded the documented Level -of -Service -Standard on N. Atlantic Avenue. Therefore, if a proposed development meets all the established codes they can not be denied to build.

He advised that the middle turn lane is being designed, there is a plan, and it will be built. However, it will just take time. Planning & Zoning Board Meeting Minutes November 8, 2006 Page 3 5. Discussion Re: Special Exception Reviews - Todd Peetz, City Planner. Todd Peetz, City Planner, gave an overview of this discussion item. Lamar Russell read the proposed findings of fact special exception worksheet. Following discussion, the Board members agreed to agenda this item for further review and adoption at the next meeting. 6. Discussion and Motion Re: Cancel Meeting on November 22nd and Establish Next Meeting Date (Possibly November 29th). Following discussion, the Board members agreed that the November 22nd meeting be cancelled; and verified that a quorum would be present if a meeting needed to be scheduled for November 29th. OPEN DISCUSSION David Sargeant, Fire Chief, explained that liquid petroleum products are highly regulated. He explained that the State mandates what is enforced and the City can not go below the State code. He explained the City can establish buffering requirements. He noted that all newer tanks are built with interior and exterior release valves. He agreed that the tanks could BLEVE. However, that is why they are so heavily regulated. Chief Sargeant advised that any large LP tank requires a permit from the fire department. Todd Morley, Building Official, advised that storage of bulk liquid petroleum is not allowed by City code. However, an applicant could ask the City for a zoning amendment. He explained that the term "fire district" came from the Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI), which was adopted into the City code in 1979. He advised that SBCCI no longer exists, and suggested that the term be removed from the code. Residents of Solana voiced their comments and concerns regarding the tank farm. Lamar Russell clarified that liquefied petroleum has nothing to do with Coastal Fuels; the City does not allow liquid petroleum; and if Coastal Fuels asks for an amendment to the ordinance, the City must consider it. Discussion continued. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:20 p.m. Bea McNeely, Chairperson Susan Chapman, Secretary Meeting Type: Planning & Zoning Board Meeting Date: 12/13/06 AGENDA REPORT PLANNING & ZONING BOARD THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL AGENDA Heading Site Plan Revision Item No. #2 SUBJECT: Ace Hardware 8300 Astronaut Boulevard - Site Plan Revision DEPT./DIVISION: Building Department Requested Action: Review and recommend to City Council the proposed site plan revision for ACE Hardware 8300 Astronaut Boulevard.

Approximately twenty-four (24) acres of park land exist in Cape Canaveral. This equates to a population of approximately 12,000 residents. The City's population as of April, 2006 was 10,317. This is still adequate park space available. SR A1A is operating at Level of Service "A" with 541 excess peak hour trips available from North Atlantic to Central Blvd. Central Blvd to N. City limits has 289 excess peak hour trips. From A1A at the North Atlantic split to Center Street has 248 excess peak hour trips. The proposed project would generate 42 peak hour trips. There is adequate capacity at this time. The City of Cape Canaveral provides wastewater treatment. The wastewater treatment capacity is 1.8 million gallons per day (MGD). The existing usage is 1.17 MGD with an excess capacity of .63 MGD. The amount the project as proposed could generate approximately 150 gallons per day.

She stated that we accomplished a considerable amount of tasks and City will be a better place for it. Her remarks were well received and appreciated by the Board. The meeting minutes were approved 5-0 Ace Hardware Site Plan expansion was approved 5-0. There were a few questions about the look of the building and the new location of the propane tank. There was also discussion about employee parking and the storage units in the back. But everything was satisfactorily addressed with no conditions being placed with the approval. Open discussion: The City Planner informed the P&Z Board that they have a potentially huge meeting agenda for January 10th and that we would be sending out a pre -agenda package so they could formulate questions for staff or the applicant and preferably get those back to us prior to the actual meeting. This is to be better prepared to answer those questions and to help move the meeting along. The P&Z Board thought this was a good idea but they wanted to make sure the LPG ordinance was the first thing on the agenda to address the concerns of the residents who have been attending all the P&Z meetings for the last several months. There was also discussion raised about not allowing anymore hotels and or vehicle rental facilities in the City. It was discussed that hotels don't add to the our residential community concept or desire to not be a tourist community. During the discussion it was determined that there are very few sites big enough in the City that could support a hotel. The vehicle rental facilities were also discussed. The same type of discussion about them not adding value to the community and that it was a service for tourists. We discussed that we have a pending vehicle rental facility up for consideration. They would like to see a vehicle rental facility coverage map when we discuss that item (City planner to prepare). City Council member Roberts also pointed out that the Business and Cultural Development Board did a citizen survey about the types of businesses the citizens wanted to see more of (and Tess of) and hotels and car rentals ranked low on the survey. There is also a business survey being prepared and she felt that the P&Z Board should review the surveys when available and discuss the findings. This was suggested as a way to move forward and as a great resource when discussing these issues. No decisions were made or direction was given to staff in regard to these matters at this time. The meeting adjourned at 8:55 pm. ** These are my rough notes for the meeting and in no way are meant to be considered the meeting minutes or supersede the meeting minutes themselves. Questions, please feel free to contact me.
