The next item on the Agenda was the consideration of the Site /Engineering plan for Hudson's Furniture, 3310 W. First Street in a GC -2, General Commercial Zoning District. Owner: Stephen J. Hatch; representative: Dean Downs. Mr. Cal Conklin, Conklin, Porter & Holmes Engineers, Dean Downs, representative, and Fred Hudson were all present for representation. Mr. Conklin explained that this property is just beyond the Fleet Reserve, maybe 1/4 of a mile, this side of the canal, 500 feet west of Meisch Road. He stated that there will be a right turn in and a right turn out only, with no break in the median. Mr. Conklin stated that they have received written conceptual approval from DOT-for the taper of the right turn going in. He stated, that this parcel is served by City water and will use City reclaimed water for irrigation. There is no City sewer available so a septic tank will be used. Mr. Hudson explained that 24 foot furniture delivery trucks and semi's will be coming in. The back turn around will allow semi's to maneuver without any problems. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 3, 1992 PAGE 2 Mr. Marder noted that this plan is subject to vacating of a 40' easement on the west side of the property. Mr. Conklin stated that the vacating is in the works with the County. The County Engineer has agreed to vacate 40 of the 100 drainage easement. The Mei sch Road right -of -way extension will be dedicated to the City or the County. Mr. Conklin stated that this property is not flood prone but it has a high water table. Mrs. Stairs asked if they could foresee any future problems with the one way in and one way out. Mr. Marder stated that he was not sure what else could be done. Conceivably, the Commission could require a cross access easement but Mr. Marder doesn't believe that this would necessarily work, except for cars in the parking area, but not necessarily for trucks. Mr. Marder stated that there is no good solution other than connection to the Meisch Road extension. Mr. Hudson stated that furniture sales has limited traffic. Due to employment involvement, Mr. Davis abstained. Mr. Dyal moved for approval as presented. Seconded by Mrs. Welch. All others in favor. Motion carried. The next item on the Agenda was the consideration of the Site /Engineering plan for Professional office Building, 1006 W. 25th Street in a RMOI, Multiple Family Residential Office and Institutional Zoning District. owner: Alfred H. Cann, III; representative; Robert F. VonHerbulis. Bobby VonHerbulis, McKee Construction, Airport Blvd. stated that the building will be used for Florida Eye Clinic. Traffic is coming in and off of Chase Avenue and the retention pond is on the east side. Mr. Speer asked why is the parking lot on 25th Street as opposed to the building. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that it is because of the setback requirements for 25th Street. Mr. Speer asked Mr. VonHerbulis what he would prefer to have, the building on the street or the back side. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that he would prefer to have the building on the street but the size of the property would not allow the building to fit on the front side of the property. Mr. Speer asked if the value of the land is a burden because of the parking and setback requirements. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that it would not be worth any more than what it is now. The parking requirements are not contributing in any way to the value of this property. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that they will Leave the magnolia tree because of its size. Chairman Dennison questioned the waiver for buffer setbacks on the northside. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that the waiver request is because of the required setback to allow the 20' setback due to the small lot size. If 35' is required for the setback, then the property would not be usable. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that the suggestion of the fence and the hedges came from Bettie Sonnenberg. He had suggested putting in a fence and Mrs. Sonnenberg suggested the hedges. Neighbors were asked and are against the block wall but are in agreement with the fence. Mr. Marder stated that he had no problem with waivers, but probably a dimensional variance is needed. Mr. Speer stated that the Commission now sits as a Board of Adjustment and asked if the Commission could grant waivers under the new ordinance. Mr. Marder stated that this is correct when it is a site plan involving sites such as this one. This Commission will act on waivers. Mr. Speer asked if owners on each side of the property are notified of waivers. Mr. Marder stated "yes ". Mrs. Stairs stated that she has a problem on waiving the requirement for a block wall because wood fences deteriorate and are unsightly. Mr. Dennison stated that there is always a problem 1 4INUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 3, 1992 PAGE 3 in maintaining wood fences. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that the zoning of the two properties does not require any screening at all and that it is strictly because of the use the variance is being requested. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that there are two reasons why they do not want to put in a block wall; the cost to put it in and the surrounding neighbors are opposed to it. He stated that there will be landscaping and hedges along the back and the front of the property. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that they would be putting in a hedge across the north property line subject to any visual screening requirements. Mr. Speer made a motion to approve the request for approval of the site and engineering plan for a professional office building including the waiver or variance to approve the use of a 20' setback to utilize the small lot and the waiver of a fence, wooden or concrete block, subject to the requirement of the applicant to maintain a shrub fence along the north property line with standards set by Staff. Shrubs to be 3' tall along the north fence according to specifications of Staff. This motion based upon findings and reports of Staff. Mrs. Stairs seconded. opposed was M. Davis. All others in favor.
