Mr. Price submitted into the official record petitions from Winston Towers residents. He also noted that the previously approved plan required the applicant to provide land for a park, and to maintain it. The applicant was now asking to donate an area of land to the City for a park(with the applicant to`physically improve the park in terms of fill and otherwise") provid the City with the necessary easements to access the park. The applicant did not wish to be responsible for future maintenance of the park. Kobi Karp displayed the architectural layout of the new proposal, including three shadow studies which were submitted into the record. Mayor Samson asked the distance of the buildings from the Intracoastal, and Mr. Karp said they were approximately 50 feet. Commissioner Iglesias suggested traffic signange improvements on North Bay Road. Mayor Samson said he wasn't willing to have the City become responsible for maintenance of the park. Arnold Shevlin said there would be a 4 foot easement. Mr. Price clarified that the walkway on the west side of the property along the Intracoastal would not be open to the public. He suggested that if the developer would dedicate the park to the City with a boardwalk [at a future City Commission meeting],the City agree to go with the developer to ask the County to grant a credit for the parks impact fee equal to the value of the improvements being donated. Mr. Price offered to donate $50,000 for improvements to the boardwalk. Zoning Summary Minutes of the September 15, 1999, Special City Commission Meeting, 7:00 p.m. - Page 2 of 3
