Board recommends approval of Saint James Estate final plat revision for townhouse project
Summary
The board recommended approval (4‑1) of the Saint James Estate final plat revision, which resizes townhouse lots from 24 ft to 20 ft and slightly reduces total building and impervious coverage; board members discussed parking, onsite stormwater, and noted the applicant holds required St. Johns permits.
The Planning & Zoning Board voted to recommend City Commission approval of the Saint James Estate final plat revision, which modifies previously approved plans so townhouse lots are 20 feet wide rather than 24 feet.
Planning staff (Jeff Gove) described the change as a minor revision to a previously approved townhouse project and said total building and impervious coverage decline slightly despite more units. The applicant’s attorney said the development retains adequate on‑site stormwater and has the required St. Johns permits. Board members questioned parking layout—these units rely on a one‑car garage plus driveway—and staff noted two required parking spaces per unit count the garage and driveway.
Public comment expressed general approval of the design and reiterated concern about parking pressure on neighborhood streets. The board voted 4‑1 to forward a recommendation of approval to the City Commission.
