Staff clarified that the Sunshine Law generally prohibits members of a public board from discussing items that will come before the board outside the context of a public hearing and cautioned members not to prejudge applications. On site visits, staff said a member may drive by or visit a site on their own to become familiar with a property but may not bring fellow board members and should make decisions based on the evidence and testimony presented at the meeting.

The chair and members accepted the plan for periodic refreshers; staff offered to answer questions at a future meeting if board members encounter specific issues.

Staff explained that the request is for a home occupation in the MH‑3 zoning district and that home occupations in that district require special‑exception approval under the Flagler County Land Development Code (subsection 30703g). Staff also noted that the county requires operations related to home occupations to occur off‑site and that applicants must agree to the code’s home‑occupation regulations “in perpetuity.”

The applicant, Shirley A. Straub, spoke for the record and gave her address as 2982 North Ocean Shore Boulevard, Number 5. Straub told the board she had reviewed the packet and “agreed to that in my submission.” There were no public speakers on the item.

After board discussion, a motion to approve application 3171 carried. The board approved the special exception limited to the specific unit and the specific applicant; staff noted that while special exceptions ordinarily run with the land, this approval is specific to the applicant and unit and that the applicant must comply with Flagler County Land Development Code subsection 30703g and the home‑occupation regulations going forward.

The transcript does not record any conditions beyond the standard home‑occupation requirements drawn from the code; staff provided the code text to the dais as a handout.","The board approved a special‑exception home‑occupation permit for a residential painting and power‑washing business operating from Lot 5 at 2982 North Ocean Shore Boulevard in the MH‑3 mobile home park district, subject to standard home‑occupation conditions in the land development code.",{"_32":87,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":88,"_40":89,"_42":90,"_44":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6146044,"Board approves PUD amendment in Hammock Dunes to clarify pool setbacks and remove maximum lot coverage",70,480000,550000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5528492-70fccdb6e8069181d26ee3b0d267aba5&start=480&end=550","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5528492-70fccdb6e8069181d26ee3b0d267aba5/thumbnail_480000.jpg","/articles/6146044/Flagler-County/Florida/Board-approves-PUD-amendment-in-Hammock-Dunes-to-clarify-pool-setbacks-and-remove-maximum-lot-coverage","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6146044-fb01d9e3250cdeef7fa0b7e651b236e4/orig.mp4?Expires=1769955763&Signature=VaYRqi99Cf2uuU8bSPBWWDfQaCpez1ksfmYzrpG9tvKvVzc7pb6inIbQhy0AXHEj1~okDyJNLXWMv7UxVJQIzUdQQm2rWqGcimEkfBRq2~5JRT1CDaNvjl7xlk-SDnWp87taK6a6oO0eQyB2RlLT3CU~ye2i4VtTq42vQbJ1KBVMQJBS5om6YBDRoU6m2~muZiliEWPmmGSMjFz4KOSbo9e9E1914fKXD4zvqyrBie5Z9Z~Qfq9DsKDaSL-OXXxDSOYPAhME4A7JOeErDjkSwrsa823yy2T~9f-2dgF3ipfy-VJGKTprKzE3xeYKXd1XqRaakKgazALUUowqjTt8Eg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning & Development Board approved an amendment to the Hammock Dunes PUD that adjusts setback rules for pools and screen enclosures, changes perimeter side‑yard calculations and removes a 35% maximum lot coverage requirement while keeping a 30% minimum pervious‑area calculation.

Staff said the amendment stems from earlier approvals for the Hammock Dunes DRI and a preliminary plat that allowed a 28‑lot subdivision. The applicant proposed clarifications to setbacks for pools, pool decks and screen enclosures — setting a 15‑foot minimum rear setback — and sought elimination of the maximum lot coverage standard while preserving a 30% minimum pervious area requirement that mirrors standards elsewhere in the DRI.

Adam Mengel, planning staff, told the board the changes are mostly minor adjustments to accommodate smaller lots and that staff and the applicant agreed on revised language for mechanical equipment placement to avoid conflicts with drainage and utility easements. He also noted a letter of support in the packet from Michael Gill, president of the Hammock Dunes Owners Association.

Robert Dickinson, representing the applicant (Dickinson Consulting), stood for questions but declined to add further comment beyond staff’s summary. There were no public comments.

A motion to approve application 3173 passed. The board approved amendments to the Renaissance of Hammock Dunes PUD, finding the changes consistent with the land development code and the preliminary plat, and authorized amending the development agreement and site plan data table as necessary.","The board approved amendments to a Hammock Dunes planned unit development to set minimum 15‑foot rear setbacks for pools and decks, adjust perimeter side yards, and remove a 35% maximum lot coverage metric while retaining a 30% minimum pervious area requirement.",{"_32":99,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":100,"_40":101,"_42":102,"_44":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6146049,"Planning board approves site plan for Florida Agricultural Museum exhibit expansion; temporary restrooms planned",376,877000,1253000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5528492-70fccdb6e8069181d26ee3b0d267aba5&start=877&end=1253","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5528492-70fccdb6e8069181d26ee3b0d267aba5/thumbnail_877000.jpg","/articles/6146049/Flagler-County/Florida/Planning-board-approves-site-plan-for-Florida-Agricultural-Museum-exhibit-expansion-temporary-restrooms-planned","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6146049-7256b2f0d1c5b2fde1cb66c3c57845d4/orig.mp4?Expires=1769955763&Signature=mM8yEyeGT5xZnwXEPtwpmmSy4F0OLqswptGyCxJSZBFyviJYEbGBhOWqFSNp4L2RiPrjTDywX2lPSudD-K3i2jcUIl2S8lLKCt6Pmxtbjr8e14tGGig13IxSXUUYl9O8460nCBc~8t6FPr5zeB3O95lia9csJ9JpKbnr8BQTX--JccTDeSaVfi0DIa6i8SNsz~pjbkCaAVYt5M3chl-iB4-Ol58qbZnGXP8xamO043eW3XdC3I2AEoPix3ApgfjqTRUqAggummdXv1UvTjGnK9XYzxezb43cl2lw6Pq2HMLmDDNxzFFtHCCpn2RHCIlEYQw~9zxc7y7mjE8EWT0iqA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning & Development Board approved a site development plan to formalize recent exhibit additions at the Florida Agricultural Museum and allow support infrastructure to serve visiting school groups.

Staff described the parcel north of Old Kings Road North, bounded by Pellicer Creek and the county line, and said the county originally helped acquire the site and later transferred it to the nonprofit Florida Agricultural Museum Incorporated. The current request covers an exhibit expansion and related circulation and support features at the museum’s southern interpretive complex.

Adam Mengel, planning staff, said the museum “started some of the work, and then found out that there were both permits and site plans that were needed,” and that the application functions in part as a retroactive formalization of work already begun. The site plan covers a cluster of interpretive buildings and walkways described in the packet (an archaeological tent and shed, an Indian building, a Spanish governor’s house, a Spanish caravel and Spanish residence) and the supporting circulation and tram path.

Board members asked whether temporary toilets would be permanent buildings. Mengel said the units would be more substantial than standard portable units, would be pumped, and “They are handicapped accessible.” He added that permanent restrooms are planned for the future but are not part of this immediate request. The board also discussed parking and tram operations; staff said large school groups would ordinarily park in a 200‑space lot and, if attendance warranted, trams would circulate along the proposed red route to rotate school groups through interpretive stations.

Charlie Faulkner, who gave his address for the record, answered questions about operations and confirmed the museum’s intent to accommodate school groups with trams when attendance requires it. There were no public comments.

A motion to approve application 3176 passed. The board adopted the site plan for the Florida Agricultural Museum at 7900 Old Kings Road North as an existing public use within the Greenway District. Staff noted that some work was already begun and that the site plan approval regularizes the exhibit expansion and associated support infrastructure.","The board approved a site development plan to formalize exhibit-area expansion at the Florida Agricultural Museum and accepted temporary accessible restrooms and tram circulation as interim measures for school group access.",{"_32":111,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":112,"_40":113,"_42":114,"_44":115,"_46":116,"_48":117,"_50":118,"_52":119,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":120,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":121,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6146053,"Planning board approves site plan, ties Colbert Lane RV/boat storage to mediated settlement limiting 100 spaces",196,1870000,2066000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5528492-70fccdb6e8069181d26ee3b0d267aba5&start=1870&end=2066","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5528492-70fccdb6e8069181d26ee3b0d267aba5/thumbnail_1870000.jpg","/articles/6146053/Flagler-County/Florida/Planning-board-approves-site-plan-ties-Colbert-Lane-RVboat-storage-to-mediated-settlement-limiting-100-spaces","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6146053-d5754621f6549c5bb55bc752b1769b63/orig.mp4?Expires=1769955763&Signature=GtBwov02BosfJNgUgW0ljACcqLwHwK-4XuDJHH6Koa3qjIdtXDZnviPVBCWX5onktI~Y6L~F-BdDYW2mGH2WpJtmSCQiNlh5twypojA--IHjyR7yk53NxazIAAjhWO~XWC6UXB~7nYdA6NRKeOhTTMcJx5eUqEywJFBiF6CefnaGnD4F0yOo0CnautRJQwXo8SYkBkr13PqHgKX~JQt-1EAWUWm2eEIRFrbjJqGVc8thxMbYbtc4mfWnOF-8va3O0C6PqqlM4~QiUNmYYco67LcLbq25~bTJoa2fe2werITfmUL-wqjM7URpsQIxN2WRLXdjEGo~JddNzWf0WpZP7g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning & Development Board approved a site development plan for a Colbert Lane property that had been the subject of earlier mediation, adopting the mediated settlement limits and site conditions.

The action affirms a mediated settlement agreement that restricts the development to “not more than 100 storage RV boat parking spaces,” and ties the site plan approval to the 22 conditions listed in that settlement.

Board staff said the parcel — described in the record as Tract R and its outparcel — had a complicated history that included earlier PUD applications and a mediation process after a prior denial. Staff said the mediated settlement limited the development, required landscaping buffers and allowed a single office on the property. “That mediation mediated settlement agreement, limited this development to, 100, not more than 100 storage RV boat parking spaces on this property,” staff said during the hearing.

Adam Mengel, planning staff, told the board that staff and the applicant had worked through technical reviews including drainage and fire‑marshal comments and that the current plan reflected those reviews. Mengel said the extinguishers originally discussed during mediation were not accepted by the fire marshal for building fire protection, and as a result the applicant is proposing surface parking rather than covered structures.

The applicant’s engineer, who identified himself as Famous Schroeder of Brandy Hills Drive, said the plan preserves a 50‑foot natural buffer along the front of the site and offsets the driveway where possible to limit direct sight lines into the parking area. He described the smaller subdivided outparcel and explained that the drainage pond would be placed partly within a 25‑foot buffer area allowed by the covenant.

Board members asked for clarification on buffers and on whether alternate (pervious) surfacing options for outdoor storage or parking were under consideration; staff said alternate surfaces are allowed under the code for off‑street parking or could be requested but are not automatic approvals. Public comment was closed with no speakers.

A motion to approve the site development plan was made and seconded; the board voted to approve the application with the site plan explicitly made “subject to the 22 conditions” enumerated in the mediated settlement agreement. The record shows the board tied its site plan approval directly to the mediated settlement’s conditions.

The approval resolves the most recent proposal for the property as limited by the mediation terms. The transcript does not specify a timeline for construction or whether future changes to the plan would require additional board review.","The Planning & Development Board approved a site development plan for a Colbert Lane commercial parcel, adopting terms from a prior mediated settlement that limits the project to no more than 100 RV/boat storage spaces and imposes 22 site conditions.","actionData","errors"]
