AGENDA ITEM Prepared By: J. Barnhart Reviewed By: Approved By: 1. Purpose. To provide non-binding feedback on a proposed development project at the SE corner of Kelly Avenue and Shoreline Drive. 2. Background/ proposal. This project involves the splitting of 3423 Shoreline Drive into two lots. One lot would continue to house the existing multi-tenant building on the site, and another lot would be created to house a proposed commercial building with a drive thru. The future drive thru tenant has not been disclosed. Access to the site is via an existing entrance off of Shoreline. They have approached the county about shifting the access to the east, but the county has not supported that proposal. The lower parking lot is accessed via Kelly Avenue. The plans do not show this parking area serving the new eastern lot with more than a few spaces. With the split, both lots would meet the minimum lot area and width for the district. However, the existing and proposed improvements would likely exceed the structural and hardcover limits for the lots (final hardcover calculations have not been received). Like most areas of Navarre, the existing commercial building was built prior to the city establishing hardcover limits, and therefore were not developed with those goals in mind. Recognizing that there have been stormwater issues in the past, perhaps the hardcover concerns could be mitigated with stormwater management on site. 3. Planning Commission Comment. The Planning Commission reviewed the project at their meeting on May 17th. The Commissioners didn’t have too many concerns with the plat, and didn’t seem to have issues with the hardcover exceeding permissible levels. The Commission generally supported the project, and commented specifically on the location of the driveway, the orientation of the drive-thru lane, parking, and hardcover levels. Some of the commissioners suggested converting the project to a PUD. A PUD would require a zone change in addition to the Plat and site plan approval. 4. Public Comment. To date, one public comment has been received, attached as Exhibit G. 5. Staff Recommendation. Staff recognizes that reinvestment on some of the commercial properties in Navarre will likely require flexibility from some city codes and regulations, in this case hardcover limitations. Staff supports the lot configuration. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED City Council should provide comment on the proposal. Exhibits A. Proposed Plat B. Preliminary Plan C. PC Minutes – draft D.
