Any member of the public that's in attendance, you have three minutes to speak on any of the items on the agenda or any item in particular. Anybody from the public wish to speak? Hearing none, we'll move on to special events. First one on the agenda is PAKA Junth parade on June 20th and Lexi is here from recreation. So, Transform Outreach is looking to do the Apakka Junth parade and event um on Saturday, June 20th. The parade will start um at 2:00 p.m. and it'll last approximately 40 minutes. And then the event at Alonzo Williams Park will be from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The festival will be directly after the parade. Um this is a parade festival and celebration. They're expecting about five floats as of now, but they're in the process of um getting the total number of participants. Um the location of the festival is at Alonzo Williams. Um they're expecting about 500 people. I believe that is between the parade and the um actual event. Um they are not hiring a private security company, but they will be hiring off duty for the road closure as well as the event. Um their setup will include food trucks, vendors, inflatables, a stage, and 10x10 tents. Um that is for the festival. And then the parade route will um begin at the Apka Community Center. Staging will take place on Station Street and then they will travel south down to Central Avenue, turn right onto 10th Street and then turn right onto Marvin Xanders and then turn left onto MA Board Street. Um the announcer will be set up at the corner of 8th Street and Marvin C. Xanders and the parade will conclude at Alonzo Williams. Um they are looking to close down those roads as a rolling road closure. Um and it will be going to council for additional approvals. Um, they're requesting offduty again for the road closure and the event and there will be no alcohol. >> Any questions? All right. Hearing none, planning recommends approval. Police. >> No, I don't have any other questions. >> Okay. Public works. >> No comments. >> Fire. >> No comments. Thank you. >> Building. >> All right. Everything. Thank you. >> All right. Thank you, Lexi. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Next item on the agenda is the Eden Crest phase 2 plat. Um, I will be presenting this on behalf of air. Um, the applicant is in attendance. I believe you've received comments from the DRC. Do you have any questions or anything in regards to the comments you received? >> No. >> If so, if you could come over here. >> Good morning, Megan Wilper with Apopka Project 1. Um, I just wanted to state that we the surveyor has fully uploaded the plat with all revisions to comments um just this morning. So, we should be good to go. Okay. >> All right. Any questions for the applicant? >> Okay. DRC, uh, as of this time or planning would recommend denial as of this time at in response to the comments. Once the comments have all been resolved, then we could be able to approve the plat. Uh, just forformational purposes, the plat does not is not required to go to city council or planning commission per Florida law. It's an administrative level approval. Please, >> I don't have any comments. public works. >> I only had one small comment, so hopefully they took care of that. >> Okay. Fire. >> No comments. Thank you. >> And building >> nothing. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. >> Next item on the agenda and it won't load is revised cold link aka MDP first sub. Uh I'll be sitting in for air on this one as well. Uh the applicant is here in attendance and if you wouldn't mind kind of giving a summary of project, we'll go from there. Good morning. Uh Josh, 200 South Orange Avenue with Kimley Horn. So this um cold storage, all of you guys have seen this before multiple times. Um one of the things that happened, we we already have an approved MVP. Um what when we were going through the CSP process, one of the things we noticed was the square footage listed on the MVP was incorrect. So um the scale was correct, the building was correct, everything was was right except for the square footage of the building and then that changed some of our parking requirements. So, what this revision does is it changes that that square footage from the I believe it was listed at 141 to one um I believe or 168 or 1680. Um so it just updates that and then it adds the additional parking spaces needed for that. Any questions for the applicant? Okay. Looked like air had a comment about parking uh to fix that prior to this going forward. Being that there's an increase in square footage, it's deemed to be a substantial amendment. Uh that would be required to go to planning commission and city council for their approvals. Uh based on the fact that there's still outstanding comments, the at this time, planning can't recommend approval until the comments have been satisfied. Uh once the comments have been satisfied then we can recommend approval to move on to the next stage which would be the public hearings. Um police >> I don't have anything. >> Okay. Public works. >> No comments on the chain. >> Fired. >> No comments. Thank you. >> Building. >> I don't have anything. Thank you. >> All right. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> All right. The next item on the agenda is Chandler Row CSP amendment. Uh I'm the project manager on this one. It was basically for some uh fire lines going into the building uh late afternoon yesterday afternoon. I received an email from the applicant saying that the plans that were submitted were the wrong ones. Um so they were supposed to be here to address that. Uh but it does not appear that anybody's here uh from the applicants. Uh planning had no comments on this but I think the re the resubmitt that they're going to upload was for a couple additional buildings for the fire lines. police anything additional >> I don't have anything >> public works >> I had actually approved the plan the way it was and just gave them some guidance on the backflow and the meter >> okay all right fire >> my only my only comments were requirements for the for the site itself so >> okay all right and building >> nothing okay >> any items for discussion >> hearing none we're adjourned
