Ms. Durham of 2831 Carver Avenue asked if the property was already zoned for
mixed use and what was the need for this process.
City Attorney, Mr. Holloway stated that this forum is not normally a question and
answer session. However, I think I can give you a quick answer. When you have out
of city utilities like water and sewer, you sign an agreement to be annexed when your
property is eligible for annexation. And so in this case, this particular property has
received out -of -city utilities for some time, but is now contiguous to the city's
boundaries. And because that application was made, it agrees to be annexed at the
time it's eligible. This is the annexation portion of that property. To clarify what Mr.
Schwendt said earlier, for anybody that's still curious, if you have not applied for
annexation, your property will not be annexed.
Mr. Conner asked if Auburn Water supplies water to this area and Mr. Holloway
answered yes.

6. 7. Ordinance 1930 - Ground Mounted Solar Panels
Ordinance 1930 -Ground Mounted Solar Panels
Staff presented Ordinance 1930 to the Planning Board. Planning Administrator N.
Schwendt stated that typically, solar panels are seen attached to the roofs of houses,
but as time goes on, more and more individuals are also opting for solar panels
attached to structures mounted in the ground. Ground mounted solar systems provide
for easier installation and maintenance as well as less potential impact and damage to
existing roof structures. The Land Development Code does not currently contain
requirements or restrictions explicitly pertaining to ground -mounted solar panel
systems. The City Council directed staff to research and prepare an ordinance
providing standards to regulate ground mounted solar systems. Following further
discussion and direction from council, staff then revised the standards to more
closely match our existing accessory building requirements. Staff also discussed the
standards with building officials from other surrounding jurisdictions to ensure there
were no safety concerns pertaining to ground -mounted solar that would require
fencing provisions to be included in the code. There were no such concerns.
Staff asked the Deputy City Clerk N. Peacock to read the Ordinance by Title:
Ordinance 1930
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CRESTVIEW, FLORIDA, AMENDING
SECTION 2.02.00 — DEFINITIONS AND SECTION 7.01.00 — ACCESSORY

ENERGY SYSTEMS; PROVIDING FOR AUTHORITY; PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR SCRIVENER'S ERRORS; PROVIDING
FOR LIBERAL INTERPRETATION; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF
CONFLICTING CODES AND ORDINANCES; AND PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Chair M. Roy asked for comment from the Board.
Mr. Conner asked if the ordinance addresses weed control.
Mr. Schwendt answered that that particular issue would fall under Chapter 38, under
code enforcement.
Mr. Follmar inquired about the height of the solar panel being fifteen feet.
A brief discussion ensued about creating an auxiliary structure from ground mounted
structures such as ground mounted solar panels. Mr. Schwendt answered that if that
happened, it would fall into another category dealing with structures and not solar
panels.
Chair M. Roy asked for comment from the public. There were no public comments.
Chair M. Roy called for action.
A motion by Mr. Conner recommended returning the ordinance to staff for further
research. Seconded by Mr. Werth.
Roll Call: Ayes: Mr. Conner, Mr. Werth, Mr. Roy, Mr. Follmar, Mr. Gilbert. Nays:
none, motion carried.

11 Director Report
11. 1. Director Update
Planning Administrator N. Schwendt presented the Director's Report to the Planning
and Development Board in which the following was presented. On March 22nd, the
final plot was recorded for Ridgeway landing phase two, which is 76 lots in a
subdivision located at the intersection of Jones Road and Old Bethel Road. Phase one
started probably about a year ago and they've been building houses there steadily. A
new development application for a proposed 70 lot subdivision named Harrisburg
estates phases two through four has been received. It is located kind of between
Creek Drive and Old Bethel Road, kind of connecting to Brenda's way, this one is
pretty early in the technical review process. And then we also received an application
for a Home 2 Suites, which is a 95 -room hotel located on a three -acre site on South
Crest Drive and D W Josey Plaza, which is a proposed retail plaza on about -11 and
three-quarter acre site located between Garden Street and North Boulevard, just north
of the Waffle House on the north end of town. Really excited to say that we're going
to be conducting our kickoff meeting with Kimley-Horn about the comp plan on
Thursday afternoon. And so we're going to be getting that process rolling. That's the
first time we've really sat down with them since signing the task order. And so I
expect to see not only a good discussion that day but a lot of good discussions
moving forward with them.
