BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE OLD PORT COVE SOUTH MARINA PLANNED
UNIT DEVELOPMENT TO MODIFY THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL RELATED TO
OUTDOOR SEATING; PROVIDING FOR ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS; PROVIDING FOR
CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Thereafter the motion failed for a lack of a second. Attorney Rubin stated that the applicant still

David Milledge on behalf of Safe Harbour began a presentation regarding the proposed Old Port
Cove PUD Amendment. Mr. Milledge described the location and proposed changes. The
applicant was proposing to expand the outdoor seating at the Belles Restaurant in Old Port Cove.
The proposal was to expand the outdoor seating area from 200 square feet to 1,185 square feet in
total for the creation of anew deck around the north perimeter of the restaurant. The applicant was
proposing a total of thirty (30) seats for the outdoor dining area. Mr. Milledge stated that the
applicant was proposing a new six (6) foot Podocarpus Hedge. Mr. Milledge stated that the
applicant has modified their request from their original request. The changes from the previous
request was to remove the request of an outside office tenant, converting the 1,185 square foot
request to limit outdoor seating to thirty (30) seats, remove the request for a 680 square foot "retail
cafe" from the restaurant and request five (5) overflow spaces instead of sixteen (16). Mr. Milledge
reviewed and explained parking data from a parking study and based off of the shared parking
agreement the proposed project would have a surplus of thirty-five (35) parking spaces. Mr.
Milledge stated that the applicant was requesting a minor change of closing the outdoor seating at
9 p.m. instead of 8 p.m. Mr. Milledge stated that there was no increase in boat slips, no increase to
membership, no increase to the building square footage, no changes to the operating agreement
which establishes security measures taken at the entry gate or registrations for club members and
no changes to parking. Mr. Milledge concluded by thanking staff for their review.
Principal Planner Alex Ahrenholz began a staff presentation highlighting and clarifying any areas
that Mr. Milledge may have missed in his presentation. Mr. Ahrenholz stated that the actual
ordinance language that would be changed would be the elimination of the outdoor seating area
being 200 square feet and thirty (30) seats and the elimination of the retail cafe use area. A six (6)
foot hedge was being proposed on one side view of the outdoor seating. Mr. Ahrenholz discussed
and explained the existing conditions that would be maintained. Mr. Ahrenholz discussed and
explained the required parking agreement stating that 138 parking spaces were required by code
and with a parking waiver had been reduced to 122. The proposal would increase the parking
spaces to 148 and 130. Mr. Ahrenholz stated that 125 parking spaces were provided on site and an
additional 40 spaces of overflow parking were provided at Cove Plaza.

ORDINANCE 2021-11 OLD PORT COVE SOUTH MARINA PUD AMENDMENT continued
Staff was proposing a condition that if the project was approved, an updated parking study shall
be provided to the Village within 12 months of approval to show how parking is functioning. If
the parking was not functioning properly, the Village would then work with the applicant to create
a shuttle service to Cove Plaza by increasing valet or utilizing other strategies. Mr. Ahrenholz
discussed Village code regarding outdoor seating and conditions that would be set in place for
noise mitigation.
Mr. Ahrenholz concluded by giving the history of meetings and decisions by the Planning
Commission regarding the application and stated that there was public support of twenty (20)
emails, seven (7) in person and 112 petition signatures. Public opposition was sixteen (16) emails,
eighteen (18) in person including the Property Owners Association and Quay South President. Mr.
Ahrenholz concluded his presentation by stating that the Planning Commission recommended
denial at the October 5" hearing by a vote of 4 to 3. Mr. Ahrenholz stated that if Council approved
the application, staff would recommend six (6) conditions of which he discussed and explained.
Jackie O'Meara, 124 Lakeshore Drive, PH31 gave a presentation on behalf of residents and owners
of Quay South who did not support the proposed Old Port Cove South Marina PUD Amendment.
In her presentation Ms. O'Meara discussed the issues and potential impacts the PUD Amendment
would have to the residents of Quay South and explained how outside dining would be
incompatible with their neighborhood.
These residents also addressed the Council with their concerns regarding the proposed Old Port
Cove South Marina PUD Amendment:
Donald Solodar, 100 Lakeshore Drive
Patricia Freidman, 1208 Marine Way, G6
Mr. Hearing of Cotleur & Hearing responded to the comments that were made by residents who
did not support the Old Port Cove PUD Amendment. Mr. Hearing stated that he was surprised at
the negative response to what equated to five (5) additional tables being added to the restaurant.
Mr. Hearing stated that Safe Harbor was an asset to the Village which brings world class boaters
and mega yachts from all over the world. The facility was important for serving the Old Port Cove
residents and those that come into the harbor. Mr. Hearing stated that square footage was not being
increased and boat slips were not being added. The proposal would promote outdoor activities and
dining. Mr. Hearing encouraged Council to support the request and pass it on first reading.
Mayor Aubrey stated that Old Port Cove was a private, gated residential community mainly
occupied by seniors and it was highly unusual to have a commercial activity within a private
community. The marina in Old Port Cove was established over forty (40) years ago and was done
mainly to provide boat access for the residents and has changed over time to having substantial
commercial activity.
President Pro Tem Mullinix stated that the proposal was not a good fit for Old Port Cove as a
residential community, the Planning Commission recommended denial and the Property Owners
Association was also against it, and therefore he did not support the amendment.
Vice Mayor Searcy stated that she agreed with President Pro Tem Mullinix stating that Old Port
Cove was a residential community and the Planning Commission and residents were opposed to it
and therefore did not support the amendment. Vice Mayor Searcy stated that she was willing to
table the ordinance instead of denying in order to give the applicant time to come back with a
revised proposal.

approved Master Plan and the time and consulting fees that are spent in order to develop and adopt it.
Mr. Ryder expressed his concerns with the Village accepting a modified Master Plan showing only
the storage area of Anchorage Park that disregards over an acre of waterfront park uplands and
over 825 linear feet of platted water frontage and fails to address how the changes would affect the park.

PUBLIC HEARING AND SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE 2021-10 ZONING IN PROGRESS
continued
Required landscape area in the twenty-five (25') foot front yard set -back was fifty percent (50%)
for all properties except properties with frontage along collector roads or properties that have an
irregular lot shape. If homeowners have a difficult time meeting the fifty percent (50%) front yard
requirement, they can set the home back further. All single-family homes shall be limited to two
stories and thirty (30') feet in height for flat roofs and thirty-five (35') feet for all other types of
roofs, including gable, hip, gambrel and shed roofs. Lastly the floor area of the second story of a
single-family home shall be limited to seventy-five percent (75%)of the floor area of the first story.
Mr. Hubsch discussed and explained the lot sizes and total allowable square footages under the
proposed Zoning in Progress. Mr. Hubsch explained how between 2015 and 2019, one (1) out of
sixteen (16) two-story homes and one (1) out of eleven (11) one-story homes exceeded the
maximum allowable square footage allowed by the Zoning in Progress. Mr. Hubsch stated that a
review of permits between 2015 and 2020 revealed that out of twenty-three (23) two-story homes,
eleven (11) met the seventy-five percent (75%) 2nd story proposal, four (4) fell within the five
percent (5%) minor deviation and eight (8) did not meet the seventy-five percent (75%) 2nd story proposal.
Mr. Hubsch explained that the proposed Zoning in Progress would allow projects that were close
to meeting its standards and intent would have a path for approval which would be a waiver process
whereby the applications would go before the Planning Commission for approval if they did not
exceed the maximum building height by more than five (5) feet, reduce any required minimum
landscaped area requirement by more than five percent (5%) and increase the limitation on the
floor area of the second story by more than five percent (5%).
