Virta, AICP Growth Management Director RE: SE-35-99 Material Handling Systems Special Exception VA-36-99 Material Handling Systems Variance Requests SP-37-99 Material Handling Systems Site Plan Request Date: June 2, 1999 The applicant is seeking permission to build an addition to the facility it currently occupies adjacent to the FEC Railroad tracks and west of PhippensMaiters Road. American Crane Inc. currently occupies the site but needs more space in order to handle the needs of their business. The City Commission may recall that it recently reviewed this site in relation to a request to vacate SW 4'" Court. The street vacation was requested to provide the land necessary for this expansion. The current use is nonconforming as to zoning and in order to expand must be approved as a special exception. A major problem working with an existing confined site is that the size and shape can offer definite design challenges. This is the case with this site. If the Special Exception is approved, in order to build at this location the applicant is seeking three variances as well as site plan approval. The first variance is relief from the required front yard setback. They are asking to reduce the required front yard setback from thirty feet to one foot. This request is based upon the presumption that as a result of the property having a 4" Court address the front yard of the property is the FEC right of way. It could be argued that this is in fact a side yard, which if it were would require a twenty-foot setback. The site, in addition to being oddly shaped, is separated from any other development to the east by the railroad and SW 41"Avenue. The second variance being requested is from the required ten-foot buffer. If the applicant is successful in the first variance then it becomes impossible to meet this requirement. If all requested variances are approved the proposed site plan would, as submitted, provide landscaping onsite which would exceed City Code requirements in terms of numbers of planting material. In addition, the applicant proposes to supplement the City's landscaping along the western right of way of SW 41"Avenue. The third variance is to the height and location of the masonry wall. The applicant is proposing to construct the wall on the property line and is asking permission to build it at a height of eight rather than six feet. The FEC tracks are two feet higher than the applicant's property. He is requesting the additional height along this side of the property to minimize the .ma=.3559.d. t 4 s r, f 7 F potential for vandalism. The additional height will also further screen the applicant's property from the residences located to the east of SW 4'"Avenue. If the applicant is successful in obtaining the requested variances the site plan will have to be modified further to meet City standards. The City's landscaping code requires that buffers be placed adjacent to all residentially zoned or used properties. There are residential properties located adjacent to this site at the SW and NW corners of the property. The site plan only indicates the placement of chain link fencing at these locations. These property lines will have to include buffers and the solid masonry wall. The Fire Marshall has also expressed some concerns. His comments are as follows: 1) Vehicular Access gates (2) must be provided with Knox padlocks for manual gates OK Knox gate key switches for electric gates. 2) The 15' service drive must be painted and posted "Fire Lane", this is the south access rd. to new structure. 3) Area bordered by parking space (16), west wall and north wall of existing vehicle garage shall be dedicated for a fire lane for turning of fire apparatus. Painting and signs required will be required to delineate this area. 4) The applicant needs to discuss all fire requirements in detail with the Fire Marshall prior to future submittals. The Public Works/Utility Director is also concerned about the sewer line located on the property. The plans show the sewer line to be located beneath the storm water retention area. The applicant has agreed to modify his plans to rectify this situation. RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Board recommends that the City Commission approve the Special Exception as requested. The Planning and Zoning Board further recommends that the City Commission approve the requested variances. If approved they would allow for the continued development of the site and the applicant has demonstrated a desire to further mitigate his development by providing landscape materials off of his site. The Planning and Zoning Board also recommends that the site plan be approved provided that the following happens: 1. approval of the variances is supported; 2. the site plan is modified to address the identified landscape concerns and that the adjacent property owners are satisfied with what has been proposed for the western boundary; 3. that the applicant make a monetary contribution towards the cost of landscaping on the east side of the railroad tracks in lieu of planting additional materials; 4. that the Fire Marshal's and the Public Works/Utility Director's comments are addressed; and, 5. no barbwire is to be installed along the top of the masonry wall. l J L /F— s h Y -I / I / _ � •T 1 PARK . _ r---� - TRACT ,o �--� 2nd ' aAIDD�I 21 ' 2 =I �d1I4� 10)�! �� -- �— �-- y I�JI! 12' ! s t IN y124. 1+1} .. ,. .. ...23 . .D ry`IIA 1.
