Summary

The Lake City Planning and Zoning Board unanimously approved a site plan for a proposed Big Dan's Car Wash (SPR2508), subject to staff conditions on signage, backflow protection and utility tap matters.

The Lake City Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously to approve a site plan for a proposed car wash identified as Big Dan's Car Wash (site plan SPR2508), submitted by Aubrey Sharp as agent for BDCW Holdings LLC.

Richard Benderson, principal planner for growth management, presented the city's staff analysis and told the board the parcel has a commercial future land use designation and sits in the commercial intensive zoning district. "Staff finds this petition in compliance with the city's comprehensive plan and land development regulations," Benderson said.

The nut of the board's approval centered on standard staff conditions. Benderson flagged several items that must be addressed before final site-plan signoff, including dimensions and locations for monument and ingress/egress signs, an RP backflow device required by the water department, and confirmation of sewer and water tap arrangements. Benderson said the sewer plant has capacity; questions remain about how and where utility taps and distribution lines would connect.

Agent Aubrey Sharp appeared at the meeting but did not present additional materials; he told the board he did not have a physical copy of the application with him. There were no member-of-the-public comments on the site-plan item and no party interveners.

After brief board discussion, a motion to approve the site-plan resolution (read by title as Resolution 2025 PZST SP08) carried on a hand vote. The board polled by roll call, with the record showing board members McCallum, Wilson, (listed in the transcript as) "Stylus," Carlucci and Lydic voting yes; the chair announced a unanimous approval.

Next steps: the applicant must resolve the staff comments and provide the required sign dimensions, utility/tap details and any device specifications (for example the RP backflow) before the final site plan is signed and permits proceed.
