Mr. Poythress stated that it was, and that he could not remove any of it to get his numbers down. Manager Burns stated that he would need a letter from the Homeowners Association for the new pool. Mr. Poythress stated that he was the President of the association, and he would send out a letter to the other owners about the construction of the new pool.

II. REVIEW OF UPDATED HAMPTON INN SITE PLAN – Ms. Ame LeMay (Representative for Choctaw Engineering) The board reviewed the updated Hampton Inn site plan. After a lengthy discussion on the sewer piping and changes that were made to the site plan, the board concluded that the items that were noted for action by Choctaw Engineering at the last Planning and Zoning meeting were met and accepted by the board. These items were: Inclusion of a sidewalk on the north side of the site along Richburg Avenue, confirmation of a sufficient visibility triangle at the corner of Richburg Avenue and Eglin Parkway, Florida DOT traffic concurrency approval including the road cut on Eglin Parkway, movement of the parking lot drain on the east side to accommodate an existing offsite tree, and review of any additional requirements dictated by the development being considered a PUD.
The
board also discussed the possibility of traffic blocking the
entrance from Richburg Avenue to the Hampton Inn and possible traffic
problems on Eglin Parkway. The board concluded that a sign would
need to be posted on Richburg Avenue that states "Do not block
Entrance", and to make sure that there is a "Right Turn
Only" sign posted on Eglin Parkway. Manager Burns brought up
the fact that the flow of traffic would need to be managed with signage
for the parking lot. JoHann Behnken moved to recommended
approval of new plans that were submitted to the Town Council, to
approve the project, and to accept the changes that were made to the
site plan from last months meeting. The
motion was seconded by Sandra Dove-McLain and passed unanimously. ADJOURNMENT:
