Three more projects came out of the May 7
meeting of the City of Sarasota's Development
Review Committee (DRC) meeting with a
clean review.
The DRC screens plans for engineering, zoning
and code problems. Once a project gets a "sign
off," the developer
generally is headed
to the Planning Board
for the next approval
stage; in some cases,
though, a project team
can go ahead and seek
a b u i l d i n g p e r m i t .
Some plans need only "administrative review"
by staff.
The Wednesday meeting saw a sign-off on
Mary Lee's plans for a loading dock, con-
servation facility and employee restroom at
her Marietta Museum of Art and Whimsy on
the North Tamiami
Trail. She ran into
snags at the March 19
DRC meeting over a
curb cut to the load-
