Council MemberWatford moved to approve the preliminary plat of Taylor Creek Estates; seconded by Council Member Markham. Planning Consultant LaRue presented to Council the request from Chris Close, applicant, for Gary Eubanks, owner of property, to approve the preliminary plat of Taylor Creek Estates, Lots K and L of Block 252, City of Okeechobee, located between Southeast 2"d and 3' Streets and Southeast 51h and 6th Avenues, approximately 1.66 acres. The proposed use of the property is to subdivide two existing lots into six lots and build single family residences on each lot. The Technical Review Committee recommends approval of the preliminary plat/subdivision of the above - mentioned property. Mr. LaRue stated from a planning perspective this plat is consistent. The next step is to consider a final approval of the plat and there is to be no construction until final approval. Council Member Markham noted this will be a nice improvement to the area. VOTE KIRK - YEA CHANDLER - YEA MARKHAM - YEA WATFORD - YEA L. WILLIAMS - YEA MOTION CARRIED. Note: Councils' approval or conditional approval does not constitute acceptance of the final plat, rather, it shall be deemed an expression of acceptance for the layout submitted on the preliminary plat as a guide to the preparation of the final plat and approval of construction plans for required improvements and required supplementary materials. Nancy Phillips presented the proposed facade changes for Park Plaza and Display Systems. These preliminary changes were not finalized at the December 7, 2004 City Council Meeting. Ms. Phillips explained that each business must first be brought up to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Codes. After the (ADA) Codes have been met, the suggested renovation for Park Plaza is to add decorative cast iron bars for the archways. The owner had already painted the building of their own accord. There were minor renovations suggested for Display Systems as the owner prefers to leave the building similar to its present style. The implementation of the (ADA) Code is to be accomplished first and then lift the concrete walkway to meet the entrance. Council Member Watford mentioned a requirement of occupancy of the building and Ms. Phillips informed them that Mrs. Conlon is still operating a business in this building. North Park Tire has agreed upon paint colors of a beige tone trimmed with navy blue. 174 JANUARY 18, 2005 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 5 OF 8 AGENDA COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION = VOTE JI VIII.
