Alexander Gonada, Attorney for the property owner said the permit for the irrigation system was being applied for during the current week. He responded to the corrective actions individually. He said John Foster, architect, had the final inspection on the building done / the roof was looked at and they found no issues. With regards to issue 4 an electrical permit was issued with the wrong address. They were told they would have to revise the scope of work, a final inspection and it was late. They were then told the permit would have to be revised Mr. Gonada said the permit was issued February 2017 with the wrong address. He said he felt this was no fault of theirs. He said he inspected the parking lot and did find some errors and they would need to put in a stop sign. He feels the landscaping and trees are fine and doesn't see tearing up the asphalt to put in shrubbery. When the work was done, they called for an inspection, but it was late. He said they still had two weeks to revise the plans or roll them into Phase 2. Phase 2 is in the works. They are working with John Foster and Culpepper & Terpening. He said the original letter was not as detailed as the issues being presented today and he requested an additional 90 days to attempt to address the issues as they were laid out today.
Investigator Coss said for the record Staff was not in agreement with the 90 day extension. Kori Benton from Planning went out and did a thorough inspection on July 31. He made a list of all the issues that were still not addressed or corrected.
John Andrews from Engineering said they would needed an as built drawing and certifications to review to complete Phase 1. This should take about a week. They had no plans for Phase 2 but they could proceed with Phase 1. Mr. Gonado said they need an opportunity to address what the code and planning issues are before addressing the engineering issues; but he would need more time. They don't want to have to pay the contractors and surveyors twice.
John Katsock, agent for Railside LLC, was sworn in. He said this was the largest project going on in the City. The plans were submitted or approval in October of 2015 and they have been held up by permits, inspections, etc. Special Magistrate Ross asked what the project consisted of and Investigator Coss said there were plans for a restaurant, a diner, as well as changing some of the other building usage. Phase 2 is a rather large project and he thinks Phase 1 should be completed before starting Phase 2. He said they should be able to finish Phase 1 in 30 days.
Before and after photos were presented and marked as composite Exhibit 1
.
Investigator Coss conferred with other staff. Kori Benton said the conditional use for the property was reviewed and approved by the City Commission in October 15.
Staff agreed to 30 days for additional time to complete the 1, 2 & 3 and 90 days to obtain a permit and apply to the conditions for 4 & 5.
Special Magistrate Ross found that a violation does exist and that Railside LLC has committed or is responsible for the violations. She ordered that the violator has 30 days in which to apply for the permit for violations 1, 2, and 3 and comply with the conditions of the permit.
