comments that the applicant is currently working on addressing those
issues. Issues were minor. Another part of the review was the ERP
modifications. The projects landscape plan was reviewed. The
cypress tress along the front stormwater pond were mentioned and need to
be adjusted to fit the site better by being clustered to give a more natural
look. Staff is recommending approval with the engineer report being
dated January 2nd . In addition, the ERP Modification submitted along with the
tree/landscape issue corrected. The applicants representative

1.2 SPR-0111-26 Funk Street Project- Parcel #14-26-21-0270-00000-
00B0. Review for an updated site plan for a park model home community that
had been previously reviewed.
The item was introduced by Wiliam McCaw; the project is for an undated
site plan to the Funk Street Project. The previous site plan was approved via
the SPRC for park models. Now the applicant is proposing a change in the type
of unit and layout of the unit. No changes to the zoning or anything else. No
increase in density is requested, the same number of units are still being
proposed. The maximum is 31 units. The new design meets all
zoning requirements for parking and setbacks. A prior plan without parking
had been previously submitted. Per the M-3 zoning requirements 1.5 spaces
per unit is required, the applicant is providing 47 spaces. A site plan of the
project was displayed and items discussed were the proposed laundry
facilities, swimming pool and dog park. These items will require an
amendment site plan to be submitted. The location of the dumpster was
mentioned, it’s in the front by the entrance to Funk Street. Staff and Public
Works discussed about having it relocated. The length and condition of the
road make the dumpster relocation concerning. Also keeping it in the same
location and moving it back at a 90 degree angle and setting it behind the
proposed landscape buffer was an option. The applicant has a
SWFWMD permit exemption for the roadway improvements. The engineer of
record was spoken to as well as the applicant regarding SWFWMD exemption
for the proposed units themselves and any additional construction such as the
pervious pavers for the parking units and the dog park, the laundry, and the
pool. The city's engineer of record had recommended the applicant apply for
an additional SWFWMD ERP or an exemption, whichever SWFWMD allows
for. This would be a condition of approval. Landscape plan requirements were
going to be included as a condition of approval but that was an oversight.
The submitted site plans also have two additional sheets, one of which shows
a landscape plan, so that portion is done. Chad Pettinato, the developer, and
Justin Hinton, the project’s engineer on record had a power point presentation
they displayed. The power point touched base on the existing plan with the
park model designs and relevant park model RV information.
They mentioned the material of the proposed updated homes will be
designed for longevity and durability with mold, mildew, waterproof and
fireproof interiors. The cargo containers are built of steel walls, roof and
flooring. They are made to withstand a category 5 hurricane or 150 mph
winds with a 50 year life span. The design should be complimentary to
the surrounding neighboring properties. The container homes being stacked
with 2 stories should not exceed the 30ft height limit and there were no plans

to develop the site higher than 2 stories at this time. The landscape plan was
displayed and reviewed, the plan showed the existing trees live oak trees on
the site as well as proposed tree planting within the proposed landscape
buffers. The applicant plans to preserve the existing tress to the best of their
ability. Some trees might need to come down that fall within the site plan.
Buffering on the north, west and south side and frontage is being
proposed. Staff is recommending approval with noted conditions.
Recommendation: All members recommended approval with the following
conditions:
 A SWFWMD ERP permit for the proposed improvements or
an exemption letter for the proposed improvements to
be submitted prior to construction
 An amended site plan showing the location of the
dumpster relocated behind the landscape buffer at a 90 degree angle
from Funk Street and showing the location and configuration of
the pool and laundry mat being proposed.
