AdventHealth CSP revision draws neighbor concern over Fudge Road access and paving
Summary
AdventHealth’s revised construction site plan for a 53.65-acre site (formerly a distribution warehouse plan) was discussed; neighbors raised concerns about truck access on private Fudge Road and requested paved secondary access for emergency vehicles and service trucks.
A construction site plan revision for the AdventHealth facility on Fudge Road was reviewed by the DRC on Jan. 15, and the meeting recorded neighborhood concern about truck access and roadway surfacing.
June Son described the revision as a conversion from a warehouse/medical-supply distribution facility to a food processing and distribution facility on a 53.65-acre site; the revised combined building area was described on the record as about 75,900 square feet. The packet also indicates the project previously received an extension under a special extension permit (the meeting packet’s date for that approval was not specified on the record).
John Towns, civil engineer with McIntosh Associates representing AdventHealth, said the comments in the review letter were straightforward and that the applicant would update references (for example, renaming sustainability items). Towns confirmed AdventHealth still owns the site and that utilities and transportation-impact discussions remain outstanding. He said utility upsize agreements and transportation-impact fee credit discussions were underway and asked to coordinate with staff.
Neighborhood representatives told the DRC that Fudge Road is a private road and opposed truck use of that private road. The applicant said AdventHealth’s only legal access for the project is off Hogshead Road; the applicant stated a secondary emergency access will be provided from the north through an AdventHealth-owned property and that the access will be constructed as a stabilized surface that can accommodate a 42-ton truck. Fire-department staff insisted the secondary access be paved (not a grass or gravel stabilized surface) so their vehicles and private haulers would not need to drive off-road or on unstable surfaces. The applicant agreed to address the paving and access surface in the resubmittal.
The DRC also noted outstanding transportation and utility coordination items and asked the applicant to work with the appropriate staff members on impact-fee credits and utility upsize agreements. No formal committee vote was recorded at the Jan. 15 meeting.
