[19:40] So yeah, because she left.
[19:46] And I snuck up there.
[19:51] Oh good evening.
[19:59] This is a special conceptual workshop meeting
[20:01] of the town of Lady lake.
[20:03] It's August 17, 2026.
[20:08] Roll call please.
[20:09] Commissioner Regan here.
[20:11] Commissioner McGuirk here.
[20:12] Commissioner sage here.
[20:14] Commissioner Roberts here.
[20:15] Mayor editor.
[20:16] Freeman, here.
[20:17] Thank you.
[20:20] And MS Higgins.
[20:27] Good evening.
[20:28] Mayor commissioners.
[20:30] Tonight we have one project on the agenda for a waiver request.
[20:36] That's for a proposed culvert.
[20:40] The applicant is Seamus Schroeder of Newkirk engineering
[20:44] and the owners, PDC, q lady lake LLC.
[20:48] The property address is 9:45 North highway 27 441.
[20:54] This is currently a bank, BBVA bank.
[20:58] It's been vacant for quite some time.
[21:01] So the intent here is to demolish the existing building
[21:04] and repurpose that site for a new restaurant.
[21:08] Tonight we are considering commercial
[21:11] design waivers for Culver's new major site plan MJ 0726001.
[21:19] This proposes a 4150 square foot restaurant with drive-thru
[21:24] and 67 parking spaces.
[21:27] The site is about three acres, just under three acres.
[21:33] This is the location of the site,
[21:34] so the site spans from highway 27 4:41 to Griffin Avenue.
[21:41] This is the site plan cover sheet that was submitted.
[21:46] And this is the general layout of the site.
[21:49] So you'll their intent is to retain
[21:51] those trees in the back that are towards Griffin Avenue.
[21:55] If you're familiar with this site
[21:58] and they are not requesting any landscaping waivers
[22:01] or any waivers to the site design tonight,
[22:05] we're just here for commercial design waivers.
[22:08] And this is just a copy of their landscaping.
[22:11] They did submit a new landscaping plan today.
[22:13] So this is the previous one.
[22:16] They've added some additional trees
[22:17] in their newest landscape plan.
[22:21] Tonight we do have two waivers.
[22:23] So they are seeking a waiver for the chapter 20 section 23 C3.
[22:30] A new building should adopt one of the four architectural styles
[22:34] recommended in the town of Lady lake
[22:36] commercial design guidelines.
[22:38] So it's frame vernacular, craftsman, Bungalow,
[22:40] Mediterranean or mission.
[22:42] They're also seeking a waiver for chapter 20,
[22:46] Section 23 c9f no more than three
[22:50] different colors or shades should typically
[22:53] be used on a single building.
[22:56] So the first waiver is the architectural waiver
[22:59] for the architectural design.
[23:01] This is the elevations for their proposed site.
[23:09] And their justification.
[23:11] The applicant states that the proposed building incorporates
[23:14] stone pilasters in a covered front patio element
[23:18] in the frame vernacular style.
[23:21] So they do have a porch front facing Gable.
[23:25] They are features of frame vernacular style,
[23:29] but it doesn't actually incorporate all
[23:30] of the elements of that style.
[23:37] And the second waiver is for the no more than three colors.
[23:41] So as you can see here, this is the list of their exterior
[23:45] finish that they'll be using.
[23:47] They do have three paint colors, but our code
[23:50] does not distinguish between paint and stone, brick, metal.
[23:57] So as you can see here, they do have I've outlined in teal.
[24:02] They're paint colors.
[24:03] So they do have the three paint colors.
[24:05] And then they have the blue metal.
[24:07] And they also have some stonework.
[24:10] And again, this is just a duplicate of their design.
[24:15] So can see all the colors there and the waivers
[24:17] that they're seeking.
[24:21] Again we have the two waivers and we
[24:24] are just looking for a recommendation to move forward.
[24:28] Or if you have any comments on the design,
[24:31] the applicant is here.
[24:34] Do you have any questions or anything you'd like to add.
[24:39] No OK.
[24:41] Please let us know if you have any questions.
[24:42] I can answer anything of town staff and the applicant is here.
[24:46] I have a question.
[24:48] Did I say that this building was going
[24:50] to have 45,000ft 4,500 4,500.
[24:56] It's 4550ft That kind of fits a little better.
[25:03] I was just saying.
[25:04] That's an acre.
[25:06] Yeah, it is slightly smaller than the existing
[25:09] building there.
[25:11] So could we see the site plan again.
[25:21] That's the landscape.
[25:22] And this is the site plan layout.
[25:26] So that big tree that's out on the let's see
[25:29] the southwestern corner of the lot is going away.
[25:33] They do not have any historic trees on this site.
[25:36] They are meeting all of our landscaping requirements
[25:38] as far as retaining 25% of these existing trees.
[25:42] They do have some larger 30 inch about trees.
[25:46] Most of those are going to be in that Northern section
[25:49] where they're keeping the trees.
[25:57] What are you going to do with that area under the trees.
[26:00] I'm just asking curious questions here.
[26:03] No direct links at this point in time.
[26:05] Picnic tables.
[26:08] Possibly yeah.
[26:11] Good idea for all these retired folks
[26:13] who like to go on a picnic.
[26:17] As part of the resubmittal, they were requested
[26:20] to put a sidewalk in from the existing
[26:23] parking lot to Griffin Avenue.
[26:24] So there will be a sidewalk running through there.
[26:28] But the intent, according to the site plan,
[26:32] is to clean it up and leave it trees.
[26:36] All right.
[26:37] I have nothing else.
[26:38] Are you going to keep that ugly sign on.
[26:40] Griffin?
[26:42] sir, before addressing the question,
[26:43] could you come up just so we can get your name into the record.
[26:46] For those who are transcribing the minutes
[26:47] just to introduce yourself.
[26:48] Thank you.
[26:51] Thank you.
[26:52] Yes I'm j.
[26:55] Campbell Campbell construction.
[26:56] We're actually the general contractor on the project.
[26:58] Sheamus Schroeder, the engineer of record.
[27:01] He is not here.
[27:02] The one who filled out the application.
[27:05] And we've got Mr. Chad Finley.
[27:06] I am Chad Finley.
[27:07] I'm the owner operator of Culver's restaurants.
[27:10] The nearest one to here is the villages,
[27:11] and we certainly hope to join your community.
[27:15] I saw a lot of pink little pink flags around over there
[27:19] when I drove through, probably from our surveyors
[27:23] or I'm guessing probably survey flags.
[27:29] Does anybody else have any questions or comments.
[27:32] My comments are.
[27:34] I have absolutely no problem with the waivers as requested.
[27:37] The building smart.
[27:38] I think it would be a great addition to our community.
[27:41] It's a great repurposing of that area,
[27:43] especially since we're going to leave the treed area
[27:46] and make it more accessible to the people.
[27:50] We have a lot of people around here
[27:52] that do like Culver's, and it's only my opinion,
[27:55] but I don't think we need banks.
[27:58] We don't a lot of banks.
[28:00] Oh, we have plenty of banks.
[28:03] I'm excited for you guys to come in.
[28:06] That area does need some attention to it.
[28:08] So I'm excited for you to come to our community.
[28:10] Welcome to Lady lake.
[28:12] Thank you.
[28:12] I also am glad you're coming down this way.
[28:15] And can we open it up within a week or so.
[28:17] What do you think.
[28:18] You'd have to talk to this guy.
[28:20] Maybe two weeks.
[28:21] Tell me.
[28:21] We got a permit right across the highway.
[28:24] Well what's that.
[28:26] You're aware of the store.
[28:27] That's right across the highway.
[28:29] Yeah, we love being next to them.
[28:31] OK yeah.
[28:34] Thank you.
[28:36] I have no problem.
[28:37] I don't either.
[28:38] I don't do we need a vote.
[28:41] I think we should move forward.
[28:43] I think we should adjourn.
[28:44] I'm pleased that you're keeping the significant trees
[28:49] in the foliage.
[28:51] And are you going to have the walleye sandwich available
[28:55] at ribbon cutting just for you.
[29:00] Then I'm in.
[29:02] Good answer.
[29:03] Alrighty, that was easy.
[29:05] Thanks very much.
[29:06] I just want to make sure to clarify
[29:08] we are good to move forward on both waivers for the site plan.
[29:12] Do you need a vote.
[29:13] Just a consensus to move forward.
[29:15] Yes, for me, I think that's the wish of the committee.
[29:21] Yep of the commission.
[29:23] I'm sorry.
[29:24] Thank you, thank you.
[29:26] OK thank you.
[29:27] Have a good question.
[29:28] This meeting is adjourned.
[29:30] No parking spots.
[29:56] Although the golf cart people seem to work it out,
[30:00] they do, maybe not.
[30:02] Maybe just have them double off.
[30:05] OK thank you, thank you, thank you.
[30:09] Oh you're welcome.
[30:15] I'm excited.
[30:16] My ice cream they got.
