Atlantic City Planner Stewart Cruz read the details on the project from his staff report. All due public notice had been submitted. The proposed project is an 84 unit condominium that is consistent with the comprehensive plan. It will be a 12 story building with both underground parking and parking outdoors. It will have two driveway accesses. There will be no landscaping on the parking deck due to the new standards provided by Ord. 2015-05. There will be additional landscaping on the perimeter and it exceeds our standards. The building will be a contemporary style with a Key West look to the front. The Fire Marshal has a comment regarding the drive way that is being addressed. The Beautification Board unanimously approved the project. Attorney Glen Storch spoke for the applicant. He stated that the project would fit very well in the city and replace a few older structures. He noted that there were no variances required. The units will be priced between $350,000 and 750,000. They are currently being presold. Shawn O Brien. President of Ocean Villas Condominium Association spoke in opposition of the project. He stated the project would impact their view and bring the price down on their units. He informed the board that there were over 500 condos for sale in the 32118 zip code area, and would rather have a park or tennis courts that could be used. The owners have heard that weekly rentals will be allowed causing too many transients in the area. He felt the City should invest in rehabbing the area and renovate the existing businesses. Greg Fritz, a resident of Ocean Villas, spoke in opposition of the project. He asked the board to reject the project stating it would be a cheap condominium and bring down the neighborhood. He also felt it would impact the dunes.
Linda Fritz also spoke in opposition due to her concern for the turtle habitat. Ms. Tornatore stated that she owned a few condominiums in the Shores and was not against rentals or having frequent visitors. Ms. Carpenter confirmed that the building met the city s existing height limit. Mr. Needham moved, seconded by Ms. Carpenter to recommend approval of the Aruba site plan to the City Council with the conditions recommended by staff. The motion passed unanimously by a roll call vote. ACTION/DISCUSSION: None. REMARKS OF STAFF: None. REMARKS OF BOARD MEMBERS: None. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting ended at 9:09 am.
