He also provided a PowerPoint presentation which included past history along with pictures and maps. Director Corbin said that the Boards first step would be to make a recommendation on the FLUM and then to make a recommendation on the PUD. Mr. Elmore said he thought that the PUD category had been removed and Director Corbin said that this was a previously approved PUD so it will be amended instead of starting from scratch. Ms. Simmons asked if the area under the bridge was open for future development. Director Corbin said that area would be for overflow parking. Mr. Elmore added that it is probably DOT. APPLICANT COMMENT: Zach Miller of 501 Riverside Avenue introduced himself as representing the applicant. He said that the property was originally conservation and in 2004 the owner proposed an amendment to change the property to Residential Low -Density and Commercial. He explained the history of the previous request and said it was approved in 2005. The property sat for about 5 years at which time they came back with an alternate PUD but did amend the land use. Mr. Miller said they are proposing to do 2 restaurants with 150 seats each, one with casual and one with formal dining. The rest of the property would be used for parking, open space, kayak launches, boats and boat docks. Ms. Simmons suggested that they use pavers that are pervious. She said that she knew of people that were concerned about possible sound from bands and other events. Ms. Simmons brought up the ingress and egress issues. Mr. Miller said that in regards to live music, they are going to use the current conditions of the PUD which include no use of amplifiers and it will not be audible at any level beyond the limits of the open water and waterway. Mr. Elmore said he would like to see a ramp on the south side where it can merge with east bound Atlantic Boulevard. He said he liked the proposed plan. PUBLIC COMMENT: Matt Schrader of 781 Camelia Street spoke in favor of the request. John November of 536 South Street in Neptune Beach spoke in favor of the request.
