You can maybe give them some.
I told him, I would ask you to come up like.
I would just say the applicants are present if you
have any questions.
Yeah OK.
Pardon me.
Mayor hey, Mayor.

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