Page 2 of 7 CRA 03- 07- 07 AL TAVISTA- REQUEST FOR EXTENSION ( CONT) Mike Crew, applicant, advised the City Council approved the site plan on March 28, 2006, but due to changes in the building code due to storms, design changes had to be made, as well as working out agreements with neighboring property owners which took more time than anticipated. He requested the 12- month extension to ensure everything is finalized when the project is brought back to the City. The Board received clarification that no changes have been made to the approved site plan, only to move from a conceptual to an actual site plan. Also noted was the fact that many easements are involved and at one time the parcel was part of a DRI which affected 4 or 5 different parcels, and cross- access agreements had to be worked out with the individuals owning the parcels. The Acting Chairman asked for public input. There was none. Missy McKim, CDS Director clarified that the recommendation of the Board will include all of the same conditions of the original approval which were inadvertently omitted from the draft Development Order, and advised they will be added to the Development Order prior to going to City Council. As there were no objections, the Staff Report was entered and accepted into the record. Mr. Reed moved to recommend approval of the development order with City Council' s conditions of approval and a 12- month extension of the site plan approval for the project in accordance with Section 12. 457. 07 ofthe Land Development Code as follows: Note: This recommendation is based upon the application and site plan developed by Jenkins, Stanford & Associates, Inc. ( project # 1050. 06. 001, dated February 10, 2006) and the architectural drawings and elevations Prescott Architects, Inc. ( developed by project 2601 dated 1/ 20/ 06). 1.
