Mayor Julie Ward Bujalski , Vice Mayor Maureen "Moe" Freaney , Commissioners Jeff Gow, John Tornga and Robert Walker City Manager Jennifer Bramley, City Attorney Jennifer Cowan , City Clerk Rebecca Schlichter , Community Development Director George Kinney , Communications Director Sue Burness , Community Development Assistant Director Joseph DiPasqua and approximately twenty-three attendees in the audience. Mayor Bujalski called the April 4, 2024 , Regular Commission Meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. INVOCATION AND THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE City Attorney Cowan gave the invocation and led the Pledge of Allegiance. 1. PRESENTATIONS 1.a. National Tartan Day Proclamation Commissioner Gow read the National Tartan Day Proclamation urging our citizens to observe this holiday by celebrating the continued friendship between the people of Scotland and the United States and recognizing the contributions of Scottish Americans to our nation , the State of Florida , and the City of Dunedin . Alan McHale accepted the proclamation on behalf of all Scots in Dunedin, provided some history of Scotland , and noted the many events upcoming for National Tartan Day and the Highland Games, including those already begun by the Sottish American Society on Saturday . Mr. McHale also noted the contributions of the Scottish American Society to the community and scholarships to students of the Scottish Arts. He introduced the new Scottish American Society President , Joan McHale. Ms. McHale commented she accepted the challenge and related her background with her parents , who immigrated to the United States from Scotland. She noted she came to Dunedin not knowing the Scottish influence , and when she realized it she felt right at home. She got involved with the Highland Games and Celtic Festival when she started working at City Hall almost 17 years ago . Her goal will be to continue the good work and raise their presence in the community. They will have a tent at the Highland Games . CITIZEN INPUT - None Mayor Bujalski advised now was the time for anyone in the audience who wished to speak on a topic that is not already on the agenda. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to speak, Mayor Bujalski moved to the next agenda item . 2. ACTION ITEMS 2.a. Application DR 23-03 - Design Review Approval for the development of a mixed-use project on the vacant property located at 265 Causeway Blvd. Mayor Bujalski explained since this is a quasi-judicial hearing , the public will have the opportunity to speak; the Commission has to act like a judge , i.e. not using opinion , and must use law to approve or not approve any type of quasi-judicial project. There will be a staff 24-1

Regular Meeting Notes April 4, 2024 Dunedin City Commission presentation ; the Commission will ask questions of the staff ; there will be an applicant presentation with the Commission then asking questions of the applicant ; public input with three minutes for each person who should give their name and address for the record; the public hearing will be closed; the applicant will have the opportunity for rebuttal ; and if it is the will of the Commission , a motion will be made. City Attorney Cowan asked the Commission to disclose any ex-parte communication regarding the Design application before them. Hearing none , she advised anyone wishing to speak to this item would need to be sworn in. City Clerk Schlichter thereafter swore in those wishing to speak to the item , including City staff and members of the public in attendance. Staff Presentation Community Development Director Kinney noted the last Design Review in front of the Commission was two years ago . Since there is a new Commissioner on the dais , he explained the staff evaluation will be presented in terms of the City 's Land Development Code requirements ; the applicant will follow to discuss the project in more detail , including the traffic analysis , architectu re , and other important aspects of the project. Community Development Assistant Director DiPasqua presented the Staff Report , including various maps to orient the Commission and public to the location of the proposed development , and provided additional information. APPLICATION NO. - DR 23-03 REQUEST - Design Review Approval PROJECT NAME - 265 Causeway Blvd OWNER/APPLICANT - JAMAP Home Builders LLC / Anthony Pautauros REPRESENTATIVE - Doug Anderson Property Information STREET ADDRESS - 265 Causeway Blvd, Dunedin , FL 34698 TAX PARCEL NO. -15-28-15-23166-011-0001 AREA - 1.05 Acres (45 ,738 SF) FLOOD ZONE - Zone AE (EL 10 Feet) LAND USE PLAN - Coastal High Hazard Area-Retail & Services (CHHA-R&S) ZONING DISTRICT - Tourist Facility (TF) EXISTING USE - Vacant Land Project Description The owner/applicant is requesting Design Review approval to build a mixed -use development on the property. The project will consist of four (4) new buildings and the other amenities described below. ► Two (2) residential buildings , each with four (4) townhomes for a total of eight (8) units . Both buildings are three stories in height with two floors of living area and rooftop patios over ground floor parking. ► A three-story , mixed -use building with four (4) townhomes and a 1,796 square foot winery. The 4 townhomes will consist of two floors of living area and rooftop patios over ground floor parking . The winery is two floors , including ground floor parking and a rooftop patio . ► A four-story , seven (7) room hotel building with three floors of guest rooms over ground floor parking . 24-2

Regula r Meeting Notes April 4, 2024 Dunedin City Commiss ion ► Additional amenities including surface parking , a swimming pool , and cabana (A cabana is not technically a building .). Property History The property was formerly developed as a restaurant and lounge. Bui lt in 1986 , the previous two-story , 6,936 square foot , 190-seat restaurant and lounge was op erat ed under several names including the Louisiana Seafood Company , Chatt ers , Faces Restaurant & Lounge , Blue Waters Gri ll , and The Vineyard. It was demolished in 2005 and the pro perty has remained vacant ever since. On June 4, 2015 , the City Commission approved the Final Design Review for Applic ation S/D- LDO 14 -56.03 ZIC for Arcadia Luxury Condominiums , a 16-uni t condominium development on the property . In sum , the Arcadia development consisted of one 5-story building comprised of four floors of condominiums (4 units per floor) over ground floor parking. Surface parking and a swimming pool were also planned as part of the project. Obviously , the Arcadia project never came to fruition and the property was ultimately purchased by the current owner in early 2023.

The Front Setback in Tourist Facility is 25 ft .; they are emp loy ing some New Urbanism Design techniques that can be reduced to O', which will be discussed in reference to the Local Plann ing Agency meeting. The Rear Setback is not applicable because th is property has 2 fronts on Gary Circle and Causeway Blvd . Compatibility Evaluation - (Exhib it A - Staff Report) Staff evaluated the surrounding land and its uses. Overall , existing build ing heights in the surround ing area vary from one story to nine stories , with a mix of uses ranging from low to 24-3

Regular Meeting Notes April 4, 2024 Dunedin City Commission high-density condominiums , townhomes , and multifamily as well as retail , office , commercial , recreation , and water-dependent uses . Therefore , a three and four-story mixed-use development at the proposed density and intensity on this property , together with the potential development patterns of vacant lands in the area , would be considered compatible with the existing building heights and densities in the surrounding area and neighborhoods , and it is consistent with Objective 2.9 in the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan . Design Standards Staff has reviewed th is application against the applicable review criteria for Design Review in the following areas and have determined it to be compliant: ► Common Open Space ► Circulation and Mobili ty ► Parking , Loading , and Stacking ► Off-Street Parking Requirements o The required parking per City Code is 39 spaces proposed is 64 ; a good number serves the townhomes with each showing 4 parking spaces ; an additional 5 spaces have been provided for the non-residential uses . The parking for both elements of the project exceed the requirements . ► Buffers and Screening ► Fences and Walls ► Architectural Style o One of the City 's required styles , Coastal Vernacular , was chosen ► Sustainability o The requirement is to ach ieve at least 100 po ints for a mixed-use project ; they presented a Sustainability Matrix indicating 159 points - predevelopment , which will continue to be monitored should the project move forward through construction and completion . ► Sign Regulations ► Public Art o The requirement for this project is to process their application through the Strategy and Sustainability Manager during the infrastructure review , at which time the applicant will choose paying a fee or providing art in the project. ► Parkland Impact Fees o There is a requirement for the townhomes , not the hotel or the winery component. Some credit might be received through the review by Parks & Recreation . Essentially , without credits , the fee would be just under $8,000 per unit for an estimated $94,400 . There can be up to 37 .5% credit. ► Citizen Participation o Because of the location to a multi -family residential zoning district , it does require a citizen part icipat ion plan. That meeting was held , and the back-up mater ials , attendance , and some of the comments are provided in the agenda packet. ► Traffic Impact Analysis 24-4

Regula r Meeting Notes Ap ril 4, 2024 Dunedin City Commiss ion o The analysis has been provided. This project does not generate more than 51 peak hours , so it is considered de minimis. The only requirement at this point would be to pay the Multimodal Impact Fee as set forth by Pinellas County minus the credit for the previous restaurant. They did not take the credit ; they just used this as a new devel opment , and the restaurant would have certainly generated mo re trips than this project. With the restaurant having been gone for that long , the traffic impact analysis was prepared in a way that it was a new development with no preexisting uses. ► Levels of Service o The City has the ability to provide wastewater , potable water , solid waste , and so forth to serve the site without causing any impact on service levels. Committee Acti ons DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE (DRC) The DRC reviewed this project on March 15, 2023. All of the DRC comments and items have been addressed or are addressed in the recommended conditions of approval. ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE (ARC) The ARC did a preliminary review of the project on March 7, 2023. A formal review of this application took place on February 6, 2024 , where the ARC approved the design of the project with several comments and suggestions for the applicant's design team to consider. Local Planning Agency Recommendation (LPA) MARCH 13 , 2024 The Local Planning Agency (LPA) reviewed this application and unanimously recommended approval with the following comments for the City Commission to consider : 1. Increasing the setback for Buildings A and B along Causeway Blvd. Mr . DiPasqua noted he thought there was some misunderstanding or miscommunication as to where the 3' was measured to versus the primary fa9ade of the building. The applicant provided a response where they provided a street profile showing the distance between the sidewalk , the property line , what they will call the "low wall ," and the primary fa9ade of the building , which is 10 ' back. The setback has been more clearly defined . He would defer to the applicant for the details . 2. Continue to look at traffic impacts. 3. Relocate the entrance/exit on Causeway Blvd to the west between Buildings A and B. Mr. DiPasqua advised the applicant has provided some analysis on why that was not feasible and also provided a design for the median at the intersection. This is for the east intersection of Gary Circle and Causeway Blvd , where they are proposing a "half porkchop " raised median to attempt to alleviate the potential for that illegal movement that was mentioned by an area resident , who was very qualified to speak to those types of issues. Staff Determination Staff finds tha t Application DR 23-03 for Design Review is consistent with the applicable review criteria for approval subject to the following standard co nditions: 1. The applicant/developer is responsible for meeting the minimum criteria of the Land Development Code and for acquiring all other jurisdictional permits and approvals. 2. Construction plans shall be consistent with the approved Design Review plans and drawings . 24-5

Regular Meeting Notes Apr il 4, 2024 Dunedin City Commission 3. Design Review approval shall expire in twelve (12) months from the date of City Commission Design Review approval unless the applicant obtains infrastructure review approval and vertical building permits. Questions for Staff In response to the request from Commissioner Tornga , Mr. DiPasqua explained: For "Intensity " in Dunedin , the Land Use drives the "Density" which is usually referred to for residential units per acre ; for Temporary Lodging such as a hotel , there could be so many rooms per acre. Usually , it is a factor of numbers x (times) the acreage. Intensity has to do with Floor Area Ration (FAR), and in this case there is a FAR of 0.55 ; for every square foot of land , you can have 0.55 feet of building , which is just over half. If it were straight commercial , that is how it would be (0 .55 x the square feet) . Regarding "de minimis ," for the way the City 's Mobility Management requirements in the Code , there are three tiers: First , is a project that generates no less and no more than 51 peak hour trips ; that is considered de minimis ; A project that generates between 51 and 300 is the next tier ; Greater than 300 is the next tier up The lowest tier , de minimis (less than 51 ), the City 's Code , and the countywide level with the Multimodal Impact Fee Ordinance is considered de minimis, meaning the further step of a Traffic Impact Study is not required. The setback is typically measured from the property line to the closest point of the bu ilding, and then there is the step back , which is the requirement at least above the 2nd floor . In th is case , they have opted to do that above the 1st floor . Regarding the ingress/egress , what has been presen ted meets City code after review by the technical staff and there is no objection . From a staff level , they believe what is being proposed is a reasonable solution to the potential for the illegal movement that Mr. Dabkowsk i brought up. Having said that , a County permit is required to do that work; that is why they have the standard condition of getting a permit for the improvements that are shown from the County . Staff has no objection to what is proposed . In response to the questions from Vice Mayor Freaney, Mr . DiPasqua explained : In terms of the mixed-use, there is no percentage requirement ; however , one would like to see the potent ial for the primary use to be non-residential. In this case , all of the townhomes could be short-term vacation rentals , which are considered Commercial uses ; the hotel and the winery/retail commercial would be non-residential as well. The potential is that it could be by and large a non-residential development. He would not say that 80% residential goes against the philosophy of what the City wants , but that the potential here is to have a mixed-use project that is going to provide both a primary commercial and residential use as well. Vice Mayor Freaney explained her understanding that if there is anothe r access point on Causeway Blvd , the County does not want an access point coming off on the Causeway ; this is because it creates another apron , which wou ld be close to another road with bikers and walkers . It is her understanding that if there is an access point , as there is for Gary Circle , they will not do that. Mr. DiPasqua deferred to the applicant about discussions with the County when Vice Mayor Freaney asked if staff had talked with the County yet ; however , he pointed out the existing access on Causeway Blvd is 24-6

Regular Meeting Notes April 4, 2024 Dunedin City Commission already there. That is the access from the previous restaurant , and he believed the intent is to use that existing access. Typically , the signage is not approved as part of Design Review and usually comes later ; it is approved according to the sign code in effect at the time. In response to the question from Commissioner Gow , Mr. DiPasqua explained: Regarding the traffic study , the applicant did show the impact the restaurant would have had ; however , they are looking at this as a new development. As proposed, the new development's number of peak hour trips is considered de minimis , so according to the City 's ordinance , they do not have to take that next step. When they looked at the curb cut in Design Review , Engineering and Public Works were comfortable with what they saw and probably knew better than Community Development what the County may or may not support. They still have to have the County 's approval. The City has an ordinance that requires certain criteria when there are certain thresholds. If there was something in the report , they would question it , but there is nothing in the report to question . The numbers are not even close to being 51; he recalled it was 29 . This is not to say that there will not be additional traffic , but from a purely traffic count aspect , it would fall in that first tier . In response to the question from Commissioner Walker , Mr. DiPasqua explained: Level of Service is established by the County for roadways through Forward Pinellas ; those are the numbers established and a map shows every roadway . The trips for the project itself are taken from the International Traffic Engineers Manual. It is the map between those elements that creates the traffic impact study. The analysis for the level of service the County puts on is not something City staff is typically involved in . He cannot intelligently speak to how they arrived at that level of service. City Manager Bramley explained the Level of Service established by the County is based upon how the roadway functions , the number of lanes , the number of curb cuts, and all those elements ; it creates a certain level of service. The numbers are based on peak hour trips , considered the most important time when it is at the busiest. The level of service will usually not change year to year to year ; it is really the way the roadway functions. Adding a lane or turn lane will add to the capacity of the roadway and getting more vehicles on the roadway ; the 29 trips in this case is the hourly traffic on the roadway, and there is a level of service of how many cars at an acceptable level of service the roadway can accommodate based upon the design . An example is if a Level of Service F is over capacity at a certain time period and they add a turn level , then it drops to the Level of Service D because they have added to the capacity. Applicant Presentation Rod Collman , Architect with SDG Architecture of 793 San Christopher Drive , provided the applicant presentation re ferring to the slides depicting the project. This development has the same quality , look , and feel as at the J Hotel , which was approved two years ago. The project is Coastal Vernacular , and after two DRC meetings , the committee unanimously approved the look in the Tourist Facility zoning that is a mixed-use with 12 townhomes , 7 hotel rooms , and a commercial space that they are calling a winery . Build ings A and C are the residential units ; B has the winery at the east end ; the J Hotel is shown at the lower right of the slide shown . 24-7

Regular Meeting Notes April 4, 2024 Dun edin City Commis sio n The existing curb cuts are shown , which they are reusing . He tho ught the concern at the LPA was a westbound car on Causeway Blvd. making a left turn diagonally across the intersection into the driveway at the east end of this property , going against eastbound traffic for almost 100 ' from the intersection , which is high ly dangerous and ill egal. That has ceased since putting a fence around the property. He is not aware of who was parking there illegally . They have a solution to the issue. He thought that , as a vacant lot , the City might have tracked some of that kind of traffic ; however , as a development , he did not think it will be an issue and he thinks they can correct it. An enlarged image of the intersection shows in the center ; they are suggesting half of an island , which would eliminate the possibility of a car going diagonally through that in tersection without making two 90 degree turns and going against traffic for the 100 ' distance. They think this solves the safety concern of that intersection . Their driveway at the east end will be a right turn only out; the only way to come into that driveway is from eastbound on Causeway Blvd . The site plan depicts two parking spaces for the unit and two addit ional spaces for guests ; park ing for the winery is adjacent. Near the pool , there are 5 additional spaces avai lable for the J Hotel or the winery , and the hotel has parking for it below as we ll. The development is substantially over the required parking ; there should not be any on-s t reet parking from any of this occupancy. An image looking southwest on Causeway Blvd shows the hotel to the left that is set back several parking spaces from the street ; the winery is on the corner of the building fronting on Causeway . An image also shows the existing condition for reference. An image shown look ing southeast shows the structures on top of the roof are supports for the solar ; these units are 100% solar powered. An image depicts the setbacks that were discussed at the LPA. He misspoke to the LPA , saying the low wall was 3' off the sidewalk , which is 10 ' wide and part of the Pinellas Trail ; the wall is actually 3'8" off the sidewalk. The main fa9ade of the build ing is 13 '3". An image shows the dimens ions , street section with a 24 " curb , 24 " grass , 10 ' Tra il/sidewalk , and then the 8'3" to the low wa ll (garden wall) and the 13 '3" to the main fa9ade . It clearly dep icts the setbacks , which are more generous than what was presented to the LPA. An image depicts the view from the west of Gary Circle ; it shows the driveway with the dumpster location with the trucks guided by the Sol id Waste Divisi on, and he noted they did not want to bring the trucks inside the property for safety reasons . Currently , it shows roll outs behind the solid walls. The pool is also shown. An im age shows a clearer picture from the west entry on Gary Circle and the dog walk for the res idents or occupants , along with the pool. Response to Commission Questions Mr . Collman advised : It is possible to put a roof top over the dumpsters because they are roll outs ; however , the images shown do not depict that. The concept of the winery will be a walk-in bott le type shop and there can be tasting. There are places to sit fo r tastings and there is the terrace on the top. It is not a bar or entertainment. Regard ing the curb cut onto the Causeway , if that was not allowed , they would have a dead- end dr iveway , which Mr. Collman noted he did not think was very good planning. They did 24-8

Regular Meeting Notes April 4, 2024 Dunedin City Commission look at separating the buildings and moving it to the middle of the property ; however , that does not solve the issue. The distance in the setback for the low wall is 8'3". The 13 '3" is from the inside edge of the 1O' sidewalk to the building . There are 2 entrances : one on the Causeway at the east end and then Gary Circle at the west. There is private property between their property and Gary Circle. Mr. DiPasqua advised : The property is in an AE Flood Zone with an elevation of 1O', so they have to be at least 1' above that ; the proposed is at least elevation 12 ', so that is 2' above the Base Flood Elevation , which would comport with the City 's flood plain management regulations. The only part of the building that could be a finished floor is the winery piece ; that is allowed to be dry flood proofed should they choose to do so , and they could have that area below that base flood elevation be useable because it is commercial. Mr. Collman acknowledged they would have bicycle racks as required by part of the development. Concern was expressed in terms of parking for the winery , which Mr . Collman addressed , though they are exceeding the requirements with the suggestion for sharing parking with other elements of the development. Mr . Collman did not anticipate the parking being signed , for example Winery Only ; it will not be restricted. Doug Anderson, Contractor of 1413 Bayshore Blvd , spoke to the construction materials and making the buildings super resistant to any kind of high-velocity zone winds , mainly making them super insulated. His suggestion to the developer was to make it 100% solar and self- sustainable. Regarding the J Hotel , there are certain times of the year it does not provide enough rooms for the team 's needs. When this component had to happen on this site , it sort of made sense for possibly having the opportunity for the rooms the team needed at those times of year. Public Input Mayor Bujalski opened the item to public input. Vinnie Luisi of 854 Cambridge Court was sworn in by the City Clerk and commented regarding the Public Art on the list. As a former member of the Arts & Culture Advisory Committee , he noted that public art is supposed to be planned either monetarily or physically put into the plans . He did not see or hear anything about that. He asked if the Arts & Culture Advisory Committee have had any review prior to coming to this point. Jerry Dabkowski of 2539 Gary Circle, which is 200 feet from this project , spoke in support of this parcel of land being developed : He does have a concern with the design for the eastern driveway. When Arcadia came in 2015 , they also had a site plan with a driveway access to Dunedin Causeway and it was denied by the County. They came back in 2018 with a different site plan , essentially using the access on Gary Circle , going in on a straight road , then coming back out to Gary Circle ; the County would not allow them to have a driveway in 2018 , and then the developer just went away. Now it is the same story with the same kind of design , and they are asking for a driveway to Dunedin Causeway. He contacted the County doing his due diligence and found the applicant has not talked with the County about the site plan yet. He asked if they remembered the Arcadia project , and they said absolutely and that they denied access to 24-9

Regular Meeting Notes April 4, 2024 Dunedin City Commission Dunedin Causeway , so he asked what the developer is trying to do , i.e. the same thing looking for a driveway . As of last Tuesday , he has in writing from the Assistant Public Works Director , the Traffic Engineer , and the person who reviews permits for this project , and they are saying the Code has not changed ; ultimately , they will deny a driveway cut onto the Causeway because all their access will come from Gary Circle West. He thinks the design is going to need to be changed. Alexandra Kusturiss of 2636 St. Joseph 's Dr. W. , which is on the other side within 500 feet of this pro j ect , was sworn in by the City Clerk and commented : Her concern , as well as that of many of her neighbors , include the turn lanes and hearing that you can only turn into it going east and only exit going right. That means any of those going in for retail are going to be doing a U-turn in the middle of the street , which is concerning because there have been numerous hit-and-runs on that walkway . Another concern is the winery rooftop , hearing that it is only for private tasting ; if it is not , tha t contradicts the proposal in saying will there be other usage for this retail. will there be tables and bars inside and on the rooftop? The traffic will be overflowing into the street on the weekends and boating holidays . The Marine parking is already overflowing into the street and their parking is not sufficient to begin with. The winery is planned directly to that , and with only 5 proposed pa rking spaces as stated and planning on tastings , how many people are being capped with only 5 spaces if it means always hav ing overflow to the street? What is to prevent the public , specifically the Marine patrons who are parking on the street every weekend , to take those parking spaces? An online comment was submitted by Donna Polhamus: As a person who lives off the Dunedin Causeway, I ask that you come out here on a weekend and try to cross the Causeway . Adding yet anothe r hotel and a winery to the insane traffic here seems madness . Please try to have pity on the folk who live here and limit the growth on the Causeway . It just can't keep growing . Traffic has a lim it and we have already surpassed it. Hear ing and seeing no one else wishing to speak , Mayor Bujals ki closed the public input. Response to Public Input Public Art : Commun ity Development Assistant Director DiPasqua advised the application is submitted dur ing the Infrastructure Review . If the developer had a plan at this time , it would have been included in the staff report ; however , it has to be addressed prior to the Infrastructure and the building permits being issued . That normal process does include the Arts & Culture Advisory Committee . Causeway Blvd Driveway : Mayo r Bujalski noted should the County deny the curb cut , then it will have to go to redesign . Mr . DiPasqua acknowledged that was correct and that the appl ication will then come back to the Commission. Mayor Bujalski clarified what the Commiss ion would be approv ing is based on the conditions outl ined by the Staff Recommendations . Applicant Rebuttal Winery Parking : Mr . Collman explained that for the winery parking , they actually have seven spaces plus the five extra on the property , so there are twelve spaces . The seven are specifically noted as required to meet code for the winery. 24 -10

Regular Meeting Not es April 4, 2024 Dun ed in City Com mission When Mayor Bujalski inquired, Mr. DiPasqua explained the rooftop is not considered for the count ; it is not considered gross floor area for the parking ratio . According to code , the gross floor area is between solid walls of buildings ; he thought if the rooftop were counted , they would still have enough parking at 1 per 400. Mr. Collman advised the winery rooftop will have some seating , and if they do a tasting , they would probably do it there as there is not enough room inside the facility. The patrons will be inside buying their bottle or up on the rooftop . Mayor Bujalski requested clarification regarding the square footage and parking and the rooftop. Discussion ensued with the information that the 1,796 sq. ft. is the parking area and the winery base floor . City Manager Bramley was sworn in by the City Clerk and advised that staff needed to review that to clarify , and that a motion by the Commission should be contingent upon what the rooftop would be , the second floor , and parking . Mr. Collman thought they could demonstrate that , even including the rooftop area , they would still meet the code 's required parking . Mr. DiPasqua explained when staff asked the applicant to demonstrate the square footage of the winery , the square footage of the gross floor area would be all enclosed areas; that does not include the ground floor parking , which is excluded; it also does not include stairways and things of that nature. It would include the entry , vestibule, ground floor area that you enter into the winery , and the floor above , but not the rooftop area. Adding the rooftop area and dividing by 400 , he thought they still have met their parking requirement. Mayor Bujalski expressed her concern at not including the space that doubles the space not being included , and she noted there are many outdoor spaces that are included in parking calculations and should be included here. Her request is for staff to come back to provide the explanation to resolve the question at the next hearing. Community Development Director Kinney suggested the rooftop area would probably qualify as an Outdoor Dining Permit Application ; when that application comes in , accompanied by this application , then that extra parking would be considered. MOT ION : Motion was made by Commissioner Tornga and seconded by Vice Mayor Freaney to approve application DR 23-03. Commission Comments Commissioner Tomga stated he thought the project looks excellent , including the architecture and the colors that appear to be excellent , as well as the building materials and the fact that it is solar- powered . He understands this project does influence the amount of traffic on the Causeway being de minimis and that concern , though many projects are approved for a Level of Service D roadway . He thinks the project will serve the community well and it coincides with the requirements for the Blue Jays , and the City does need additional spaces. Vice Mayor Freaney also likes the project and thinks that it looks good and is conceptually well thought out. She agrees with Mayor Bujalski regarding the parking ; there seems to be a lot of parking for the residential , and some flexibility with some of the spaces could be helpful with the concern on the winery parking. Also , at the LPA , there was the concern about the trash covering for the aesthetics ; it would be nice because of people living on the higher floors ; to the extent that that could be considered , it would be great. She was concerned about the setback ; however , it was explained well. She thought it would make sense between first and second reading to at least 24-11

Regular Meeting Not es April 4, 2024 Du ned in City Co mmi ss ion have a conversation with the County about the rationale about why they would or would not allow the driveway on Causeway Blvd . Commissioner Gow stated his support for the project and reiterated his concern about the curb cut. The setback conversation gave clarification . He does like the step back. He agreed with talking with the County for clarification between first and second reading. Commissioner Walker also likes the project and echoed the comments and concerns expressed by his colleagues to this point. Mayor Bujalski stated she also supports the project for many reasons already stated by the Commissioners . That is not from an opinion perspective , but it meets the City Code. She does think there shou ld be consideration of how to more creatively share some of the parking , reiterating the residents have so much parking and the commercial has the potential of causing a clog with no other parking around it. She noted also the concern for the curb cut ; however , because it already exists and this project is not moving it , she did not see why the County would not support it. Previously she was very concerned about the U-turn issue ; however, with the proposed changes , she thought that would be less . VOTE: Motion carried with Commissioners Gow , Walker , Freaney , Tornga , and Commiss ioner Gow voting aye . Voting nay: None. The second reading for DR 23-03 is scheduled for May 2, 2024 . 2.b. The proposed agenda for the April 18, 2024, Commission Meeti ng Mayor Bujalski inquired if there were any changes to the April 18 , 2024 , proposed agenda .
