City Council Meeting Minutes April 20, 2021 <br />Mayor Hughson opened the Public Hearing at 7:15 p.m. <br />Those who spoke: <br />Greg Gitcho, applicant spoke in favor of this extension and is available to <br />answer questions. <br />Jason Middlebrook, applicant spoke in favor of this extension and is available <br />to answer questions. <br />Lisa Marie Coppoletta, expressed concern that a character study has not been <br />completed. Ms. Coppoletta also mentioned the topic of impervious cover. She <br />stated a workshop for the sidewalk program would be conducted and this has <br />not been done. She expressed concerns with Planned Development Districts <br />(PDDs) and how Council said they would not create anymore, but this process <br />seems to be circumvented. She is concerned with the species that may be <br />affected. <br />There being no further speakers, Mayor Hughson closed the Public Hearing at <br />7:20 p.m. <br />A motion was made by Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Scott, seconded by Council <br />Member Gonzales, to approve Ordinance 2021-26, on the first of two readings. <br />Council Member Baker inquired if the approval of the extension is not <br />approved, would they be grandfathered in because they already applied for <br />permits? Is there any consideration for a character district or something to <br />achieve a better use and increased tax presence for this piece of property. <br />Mrs. Mattingly stated there are no applications for permits on the property <br />currently.

She noted that the impervious cover limitation of <br />50% is better than what would be required under the new code. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Derrick asked why there is no parkland dedication required. <br />Mrs. Mattingly stated this is because there is no residential, this is only <br />commercial. <br />Mayor Hughson asked if there is a detrimental effect to extending this PDD <br />since our new codes are stricter in many ways.
