Fitzgerald Request for Waiver to On-site Retention Requirements; The Mayor and
Commission heard a request from Mr. Fitzgerald of 1718 Selva Marina Drive at the last
commission meeting requesting a waiver of the on-site storm water retention requirements. At
that meeting, Mr. Fitzgerald explained that he had made several changes to his plans and felt that
they now complied with the city's requirements. Rick Carper had not had time to review the.
revised plans before the last meeting, so the issue was deferred until he could review them and
make a recommendation.
Since that time, he has met with Mr. Fitzgerald and both have agreed that minor additional
changes to the landscaped plans would comply with the city's on-site retention requirements.
~'" Consequently, no waiver is needed from the Mayor and Commission.
Complaints about mulch piles and iunk cars on Park Street; At the last commission meeting,
'°' a complaint was received about a large mulch pile and junk cars in the vicinity of the Donner
Community Center. The mulch pile is located at 310 Mealy Drive and the property is owned by
Dawson Land Development Company. It is zoned industrial and the storage of mulch is a
~` perr~ussible use in the industrial zone (Code Sec 24-112). The property is currently registered
and permitted with the Florida DEP. At the city's request, the DEP inspected the location but
found no violations. City staff has requested that the business owner install asix-foot high
privacy fence along the length of the property line.
Concerning the complaint about auto storage on vacant lots adjacent to Donner, the property is
owned by Murr's Body Shop. It is also zoned industrial and the storage of cars waiting for repair
is authorized in that zone (Sec 24-112). No junk cars (cars being sold for parts or for scrap) are
~. on the property. Only those waiting for repair by that body shop are stored there. The owner of
this property has also been requested to install a privacy fence.
