Community Development Director Robert Solera reported <br />noting that this application was deferred on August 16, 2007 and the applicant went back to <br />the drawing board to respond to comments that the Commission had, and revised the Site <br />Plan in order to place all the parking spaces on site. <br /> <br />Public Speakers: Clifford Schulman, Esq.; Robert Warwick, Architect; Bud Scholl <br /> <br />Clifford Schulman, Esq., representing the applicant, summarized what was done the last time <br />and where we are today, and that they had a problem as all of their parking was not on site. <br />He said a portion of their parking was not in a place where it hasn't been for 20 years behind <br />the Navarro Drugstore Pharmacy, but they were utilizing that parking lot and it became a <br />significant issue to the Commission and to the neighborhood of Golden Shores. He said they <br />went back with City staff and to their Architects and they spent another $5 Million Dollars to <br />basically bringing all oftheir required parking and more on their site, so the Navarro parking <br />lot was no longer necessary for that. <br /> <br />Mr. Schulman said they did the following revisions: 1) reduce the number of units in the <br />development, from 60 condominium units to 55; 2) increased the amount of parking on <br />site by 11 parking spaces and increased the amount of handicapped spaces from 8 to 10; <br />and 3) they would voluntarily agree to proffer to the City an agreement whereby when <br />they pull their Building Permit for the site, they would agree to deed to the City the <br />Navarro lot in fee simple at no cost or expense to the City, to be utilized for park or open <br />space purposes as the City might desire. He said that property is on the tax rolls for a value <br />of$900,000.00, it is zoned RU- TH or RTH Town House, which is a under valuation of what <br />the real valuation is and they estimate that the property is worth in excess of $1.5 Million <br />Dollars, and in return, the City would agree to give them Transfer Development Rights <br />of 8 units or 22,000 square feet, no more than what that property is entitled to. He said <br />they would take the TDRs for that site for a period of six (6) years, and they would not <br />utilize those TDRs for this project, the City would agree to designate the Navarro site as <br />a Sender Site, and in the event that the Beach Club use terminates prior to the issuance <br />3 <br />
