Townhome rezone at 2250 Fruitville Road requires platting, ADA and utility corrections
Summary
The DRC reviewed a rezone/site‑plan resubmittal for 2250 Fruitville Road and told the applicant to correct administrative‑adjustment references, prepare a preliminary or final plat before permits, address ADA ramps and sidewalks tied to 15th Street and East Avenue, and clarify utilities and sprinkler design (13D vs. 13R) before moving forward.
The Development Review Committee considered a resubmittal for a rezone and site plan for a townhome project at 2250 Fruitville Road (26SP08). The applicant team—represented by Joel Friedman of Friedman Consulting and Emily Griffiths of Kimley Horn—said prior comments were addressed and that the project will proceed to final plat after approvals.
Zoning staff asked the applicant to correct a typo about the number of administrative adjustments requested, reiterate that future development must comply with site‑plan application conditions, and provide a preliminary or final plat before permit issuance. Staff also recommended advising future residents about noise from an adjacent car wash.
Public Works asked how solid‑waste and recycling communications will be managed once units are occupied; the applicant said a homeowners association will handle communication and that plan sheets would be updated. Traffic reviewers requested installation or temporary installation of a 5‑foot sidewalk with a 4‑foot utility strip along US‑301 and asked for ADA ramps and a striped crosswalk at the East Avenue/15th Street leg; staff requested turning templates to demonstrate parking‑area turnaround maneuvers.
Utility and building reviewers warned the team that proposed domestic and fire service lines under a driveway generally cannot be approved and that a proposed 8‑inch water main crossing a neighboring property should be relocated or otherwise adjusted. Building and fire staff emphasized that townhouse fire‑sprinkler systems must be designed as a 13D system (separately fed to each dwelling) and not a 13R design that allows risers to penetrate property lines; the applicant agreed to make design changes for building permit submittal.
Staff indicated partial sign‑off would be issued in the sequence of project reviews and that technical items must be corrected before building permits can be submitted.
