[Crane Island Access Gate Entry] Site plan review for Access Gate Entry Realignment for Crane Island Subdivision. The project will create an additional impervious area of approximately 1,600 sqft and add a couple of storm structures. Drainage will remain the same, and no regulated trees will be removed. Pedestrian access to the trail will not change. The City is not liable if a private forced main is impacted during construction. A pre-construction meeting is required. A Formal TRC application should be submitted, and this should be a Site Work permit. Reinstallation of the knot switch should be annotated on the site plan. [700 Airport Rd (2440 Jamestown Rd); case TRC-2026-0003] Formal Site Plan Review for the construction of an aircraft hangar at the Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport. The sign-off was continued as the FAA has additional comments to provide to the applicant. The case number is TRC-2026-0003. [528 S. 8th Street] Inquiry about a change of use for a property at 528 S. 8th Street. A Utility Connection application will be required, and the applicant can proceed with LBTR to confirm the use and fill out the application. Any trash area should be screened, and new signage will require a sign permit. [1009 S. 8th Street] Inquiry about an addition to Cindy Hair Salon at 1009 S. 8th Street. The applicant would like to expand in the rear by about 400 sqft. The MU-8 zoning has no setbacks except for the front setback, and the maximum impervious ratio is 60%. Tree requirements are in effect due to expansion. Stormwater concerns need to be addressed, and a Utility Connection application is needed, along with a backflow preventer. This expansion will necessitate a civil and full site plan review. Plans should reflect the distance to the other building to assess fire-rated separation. The reconfiguration of the parking area was discussed, suggesting impervious pavers. Chain link fencing is not allowed in MU-8 zoning. Contact Fernandina Beach Main Street regarding site grants for façade.
