Applicant and Owner of property: Yogi Patel Subject property: 6850 No. Atlantic Avenue; the property and buildings house Yogi's Liquor Shop, Yogi's Food and Discount Beverage , and Tip -a -Few Tavern and Bistro. Future Land Use and Zoning designation: C-1, Commercial Surrounding zoning: North —C-1, Commercial East — Residential structures in C-1, Commercial South — County Commercial Zoning West — C-1, Commercial Surrounding uses: North — Vinny's Dogs, Burgers, and Beer East — Residential South — 7 -Eleven Store West — Cocoa Palms Mobile Home Park and the Bald Strawberry building Summary The applicant owns and operates Yogi's Liquor Shop and Yogi's Food and Discount Beverage, and owns the building that houses Tip -A -Few Tavern and Bistro. The subject property fronts SR A1A and runs from Johnson Ave. in the north to Grant Ave. on the south. The applicant is requesting a Special Exception to operate a storage facility on the vacant portion of his property which is to the rear of the buildings. The code citation for this request is: Section 110-334(c)(11). Commercial establishments for the storage or parking of recreational vehicles, trailers and trailerable items, provided it meets the following, as a minimum: a. Minimum /of size of 10,000 square feet. b. Vehicle storage area must be obscured from view by either walls, fences or hedges. c. Walls, fences and hedges must comply with all city rules and regulations and must be kept in good condition so as to ensure obstruction from view. rtw .,� The two most important issues to be considered are screening of the storage area from view and access to the storage area: Screening - the area proposed for the storage of vehicles is enclosed by a wooden fence, most of which is six feet in height, with the exception of the portion along Grant Avenue which is 4 ft. in height (see aerial depicting existing fence location). A variance request to allow for a 6 ft. high fence within 25ft. of the right-of-way accompanies the Special Exception request. The variance will allow for the fence to be 6ft in height along the street frontage without having to be setback 25 ft. from the right-of-way. Access- it is important that vehicles do not stop in the street while opening and closing the locked gate. Therefore the gate should be setback far enough on the property to allow a tow vehicle and trailer to park on the property while the gate is being opened or closed. It appears the best opportunity to accommodate an on-site driveway is to access the storage area from Johnson Ave. on the north. This will entail reducing the width of the dumpster enclosure or relocating the dumpster entirely to provide a driveway wide and long enough to accommodate a tow vehicle and trailer on the property. The Building Official's review comments are attached and they address provision of protective barriers for mechanical equipment and verification that the overhead electrical service -drop conductors are a least 18 ft. above grade.
