Leslie Olson To: Cindy McCall Cc: Bethany Grubbs; Monica Graziani; Carl John Peterson; Mayte Santamaria Subject: Northside Christian Cindy: I wanted to quickly update you on Northside Christian. I've tried Jay Heddings a few times. He did not answer, and his voicemail is full, so he won't know I'm trying to reach him. In summary, these are the remaining issues on his Conditional Use and Permit: 1. Conditional Use Parking Condition of Approval: You mentioned that the church does not use the easternmost access point as a drive aisle (the paved portion,) but that they use the western access point to enter and exit and use the paved portion solely for parking. If this is accurate, the pavement can indeed be striped as the Condition of Approval required only that six spaces be paved, not the drive aisle. I'm ready at any time to discuss with him how that could be accomplished. 2. Permit for two Shipping Containers as Sheds: Permit Number 1803-0329 a. Submitted: 3/12/18 Comments to Contractor: 5/3/18 Resubmitted: 9/19 Comments to Contractor: 9/21/18 b. Remaining Comments to address on permit: i. The first set of comments indicated a need for the Occupancy Classification to be called out, as well as any Finished Floor Elevation, Tie down cut sheet, etc. Because this is a Commercial Permit (not Residential, Owner Builder) the Plans Examiner made the assumption that the Contractor would know to have a Design Professional respond to the comment, and any letters or plans would be signed and sealed. That requirement was not spelled out in the comments. We typically do more hand -holding for Owner Builders, but on commercial permits, more of a shorthand is used, because this is a Florida Building Code requirement, which GC's generally know. However, when a resubmittal was made, the Pastor of the church dropped off a hand written note addressing the comment. I'm sure the reason he's trying to take care of the permit himself is to save money, so I understand why there was a misunderstanding. Our Examiner's response comment is to note that this information must be submitted by the design professional, which will be signed and sealed. ii. The second new comment is that the sets of container plans submitted on 9/19 were incomplete. Three full sets, reviewed and approved by their Design Professional are required. iii. The Florida Building Code (Commercial) requires that all structures have egress (exit) doors. In other words, in case you get closed inside by someone else, you can get out. A door with a mechanism that you can operate to exit the structure from the inside without a key is required. Either the Containers existing doors could be designed (by a design professional) and modified to meet this requirement, or the plans could be modified to include a separate door on the side or back of the structure. Also, I've met with Bethany Grubbs and Mayte Santamaria about the Pre App for the proposed Warehouse on site. The Pre App letter mentions a requirement to pave the parking. This will not likely be required. When the Parking Standards were updated, the grass parking for churches provision came out as an unintended consequence. We will initiate a text amendment to remedy this. We do need to better understand the goals and purpose of the Warehouse. If use has been described in a few different ways, so we will need to understand that more fully in order to do parking calculations, etc. Please let the Hedding's know they can contact me at any time with questions or concerns.
