Motion passed 44. III. PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. SP-003-20/VA-O50-20/VA-O51-20/VA-052-20: The applicant, GMAX FL LLC, requests approval of a site plan and variances for the development of six (6) townhouses on property located at 4717 SW 32" d Avenue. City Attorney Boutsis asked for anyone speaking on either one or both of the two public hearings being heard tonight to please stand and raise their right hand to be sworn in. Assistant Community Development Director Lajoie gave a PowerPoint presentation for this agenda item. She showed an aerial photo depicting the location of the property in the RM-1 multifamily residential district on .62 acres. There was an existing single-family home on the property. The proposed request was a site plan to allow the construction of six townhomes on the property plus three variances for lot width, building length, and driveway width. A lot width of 83 feet was requested instead of the code requirement of a minimum of 120 feet. Without this variance of the 83' wide lot, only one single-family home or one duplex could be built. The building length proposed was 192 feet for the six townhomes but the code required a maximum of 150 feet for building length. The third variance request was to allow a driveway width of 22 feet for marketable townhomes but the code required a minimum of 24 feet. The property was long and narrow and 22 feet should be sufficient. Asst. Director Lajoie explained about the criteria for which variances were measured and that the applicant submitted a justification statement identifying how their requests were consistent with the variance criteria. For the site plan request, the land use designation limited the property to a density of ten units per acre. The layout would be a line of six connected townhomes with a driveway and parking on the side and each unit would have two parking spots. She showed a rendering of what this would look like. The applicant sent letters to property owners within 500 feet of the proposed project inviting them to contact him and the Community Development Department did not receive any inquiries. The site plan was reviewed by the Development Review Committee (DRC). She explained about staff comments that have to be answered as well as conditions of approval. She spoke about the positive budgetary impact of this project as well as the fact that it supported the City's Strategic Plan. Staff recommended that the Planning and Zoning Board approve the Site Plan Resolution and the requested three Variances with the remaining DRC comments as conditions of approval. She asked for questions and told the Board that the applicant was here and had his own presentation. City Attorney Boutsis said that before this was turned over to the applicant, she inquired about ex pane communications but there were no disclosures to report. The Chair stated that they would wait for the applicant's presentation before questions would be asked. Attorney Jeremy Shir, Becker & Poliakoff, representing the applicant, gave a brief presentation similar to Ms. Lajoie's and asked for questions. The Chair called on Derrick Hankerson who asked if there were any offsite or off-street parking provisions when more parking was required? He knew it was not required but just wanted to know. The attorney believed that only the two parking spaces per unit were planned but he supposed there could be parallel parking in the front of the units. As there were no other board questions, the Chair ask for public input/questions for or against the project. There were none and this section was closed. Motion was made by Charlotte Sloboda to approve the Site Plan Resolution and three Variances for lot width, building length, and driveway width plus the remaining DCR comments to be conditions of approval and was seconded by Traian Thomas Popescu. Motion passed 4-0. 2. VC-069-22: The City of Dania Beach is requesting to vacate an unimproved Right -of --Way (a portion of NW 10 Avenue) located within C.W. Thomas Park at 100 NW 8 Avenue. City Attorney Boutsis inquired about ex pane communications but there were no disclosures to report. Planner Viviana Bautista gave a PowerPoint presentation for this agenda item. She showed an aerial photo depicting the location of the property in the Open Space (OS) zone with a Future Land Use (FLUM) designation of Regional Activity Center (RAC). She also showed a depiction of the redevelopment of the park. All public utilities were notified of the vacation request. She spoke about the vacation criteria. The applicant has provided written justification indicating the request was consistent with the criteria and Staff agreed. The Community Development Department felt that this application supported the City's Strategic Plan and explained why. Staff was recommending that the Planning and Zoning Board recommend approval to the City Commission to vacate NW 10�'' Avenue located between NW 1 Street and NW 2 Street. If recommended tonight for approval, this item would be scheduled for first reading at the September 27. 2022 City Commission Meeting. The Chair asked about the actual location of the vacation and the City Attorney, Assistant Director, and Planner explained. He called for questions and Charlotte Sloboda asked for clarification on the redevelopment plan. Derrick Hankerson was answered in the aff"umative that if this received approval tonight and approval at the first and second reading, that this redevelopment of the park would be a done deal. As there were no other board questions, the Chair ask for public input/questions for or against the project. There were none and this section was closed.
