Rachel Berry, zoning official, summarized staff comments and read an email from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Berry read that DEP advised there are no express prohibitions on redevelopment based solely on dry‑cleaner solvent contamination, but that owners, builders and consultants must take appropriate precautions for worker health and safety, properly transport and dispose of contaminated media removed during construction, and account for remaining contamination in site work and end use. Berry noted DEP warned that activities that spread or exacerbate contamination are prohibited and could jeopardize the site’s eligibility for certain programs.

Todd Reebel, agent for the applicant with Atwell Port Charlotte, said his team would follow up with departments on technical comments and requested copies of the DEP comment and code citations referenced in the staff report. Reebel raised specific technical questions about the city’s floor‑area‑ratio/development mitigation calculations and said the proposed public open space at the “Christmas tree corner” at Taylor and Marion should not be negated by a strict interpretation of setbacks. He asked for clarification of several new code provisions and said his team will coordinate with staff.

Building staff reminded the applicant that the concept drawings will require full building permits for final approval; staff also flagged that the below‑ground veil system for saltwater will be treated as a structure and likely require building and electrical permits. Utilities and public works had no additional comments beyond the staff report. Urban design said outstanding comments in the staff report must be addressed prior to final sign-off.

A committee member moved to approve DRC‑02‑2025 for the property at 115 Tamiami Trail, subject to the standard condition that all staff-report comments and required permits be satisfied. The motion passed by voice vote. The committee recorded that the applicant has three months from the DRC approval to obtain required signatures and address staff comments; if needed, the applicant may request an extension. Staff said police and fire signatures on the ERC sheet could be obtained outside the meeting.

The transcript records specific technical and compliance follow-ups: provide the DEP comment to the agent; resolve floor‑area‑ratio/development mitigation calculations; verify impervious‑surface requirements in chapter 26; secure building permits for below‑ground systems; and complete any required public‑parking agreements if additional public parking is proposed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Development Review Committee 4-25-25","oneSentenceSummary","The Punta Gorda City Development Review Committee on April 25 approved staff technical review for redevelopment at 115 Tamiami Trail, requiring the applicant to address staff-report comments and DEP environmental precautions and obtain all required permits within three months.","taxTitle","Punta Gorda City, Charlotte County, Florida","taxId",54477,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6261344,"DRC approves lot split at 1849 Jamaica Way",71,573580,645000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3124343-3653046970aad84ce5e3ae016ad3bb0c&start=573&end=645","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3124343-3653046970aad84ce5e3ae016ad3bb0c/thumbnail_573580.jpg","/articles/6261344/Punta-Gorda-City/Charlotte-County/Florida/DRC-approves-lot-split-at-1849-Jamaica-Way","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6261344-9073085b8409a050b30684797f51e2a7/orig.mp4?Expires=1776057925&Signature=E1SevlsZPgHavcs2oGzMTV9VuODGW2IXpV9iFlIf9lBM7ENQaX1i9~27ucn40xRYTsK-LmssElGeSFL0gMTMRXOKwprDGSR3NPUM6qMDfDRjQ2tk92E2fMKDZTV77scfWdp-VIUen-vPUoiwnX9PrFsHBPaXoLi8A1CY9suMzequU5yTpAhMOz4HWBXJpeqQoBAWDSlXuKbUW-rnlN0L3~kZFld0DatQ7Uy-dbKdsU6dvDqCWXbOFOoiqovyzNJ7THIUim3myiIhuxafITse1Tw6WUq3rS7B-75qrmyGTkSjAgsb9sm8IBstoNgz5FtyHoI3vkmI69ZXDExh4PIhbg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Punta Gorda City Development Review Committee approved a lot split application (LOT022025) on April 25 to reconfigure two platted lots at 1849 Jamaica Way, separating Lots 32 and 33.

Urban design staff told the committee the applicant must provide a map showing temporary facilities, parking and tent locations and a certificate of insurance naming the city as additional insured; public works must review the traffic control plan and there will be a cost for the required maintenance-of-traffic (MOT) work. The permit application is listed as permit number 25-191417 and the committee noted road-closure approvals will be forwarded to Punta Gorda City Council for a May 21 hearing at 9 a.m.

Rachel Berry, zoning official, read the staff requirements and asked the applicant to coordinate MOT details with Dave Myers in public works. Berry said insurance documentation and the site map must be supplied before final sign-off.

Connie Payne, president of the Charlotte County NAACP and a representative of the applicant, told the committee the organization was not intending to serve alcohol but wanted to know the process if it later decided to do so. A police representative said the application indicates no alcohol; if organizers decide to allow consumption or service it could change permit requirements. The police representative said an officer would be required if alcohol were to be served, and that a temporary alcoholic-beverage permit from the state would be required if alcohol is sold by a vendor. The police representative also said the department is providing one officer in-kind for a community-services assignment from 3 to 7 p.m., but that assignment is not intended to serve as event security.

The committee approved a motion to accept the application as filed — on the record that it indicated no alcohol — provided the applicant fulfills the public-works traffic stipulation with Dave Myers for any road closures. The motion carried by voice vote. Committee members noted that any change to alcohol service would require amendments to the application and, if applicable, a return to the DRC so the committee could consider the revised permit before the council hearing.

The committee recorded no further objections. The item will appear before City Council on May 21 for any required road-closure approvals.","The Punta Gorda City Development Review Committee approved an event permit for Juneteenth celebrations at the Cooper Street Recreation Center on June 21, subject to site-plan, insurance and traffic/street-closure conditions; road closures will go to City Council on May 21.","actionData","errors"]
