HomeMy WebLinkAboutRe George King Blvd SiteHi, Tom. Sorry for the late response. I did look at the survey and your
note on the BRB property. I thought about this for a while this morning
and need to formulate some thoughts and a plan. Stay tuned. I hope their
is a balance that can be achieved.

Please take a look at the attached aerials and survey.
The new gas station ordinance, with the 2,000 foot concentric circles
around existing stations and restricting any new convenience store in
the city to the M1 zoning district would permit the possibility of a new
convenience store on our site labeled BRB Site in the attached aerials.
While there is currently no interest on the part of any end user to
place a convenience store at this location at this time, the demand may
be there in the future.
I understand the City's desire to restrict convenience stores and
fueling stations to the existing locations currently in Cape Canaveral
due to the current number of such locations within the City. However,
for the reasons enumerated below, I believe that it would be
counterproductive for the city to restrict the opportunity for a fueling
station sometime in the future on this site.
[1] Location: while technically within the city limits, this site is
for all intents and purposes in the heart of the Port. It is bordered
by Challenger Road and George King Blvd on the north, the aggregate
conveyor belt and Ambassador Services to the East (cargo), Martian
Marietta's aggregate piles to the south, and warehouse buildings on Port
property to the west. It is not visible from any Cape Canaveral street,
nor by any residents or other light commercial business in the City.
[2] Future Traffic: the traffic on George King Blvd has been
increasing and will likely increase to a great extent in the future.
There are currently and will be more in the near future:
* hundreds of dump trucks getting aggregate from Martin Marietta,
* hauling trucks leaving the south cargo area,
* future automobile transport trucks leaving the Ports new auto
processing operation just to the north of the site,
* cruise related traffic coming to and from Cruise Terminal 1 just
to the north of the site
* cruise related traffic to come when Cruise Terminal 2 is
developed further to the East
* recreational boating traffic - with trailers - going to and from
the boat launches
* beach traffic going to and from Jetty Park
* time share visitors going to and from the Ron Jon Cape Caribe
Resort
All this traffic, if in need of fuel, would be obligated to drive south
into Cape Canaveral, either south on Atlantic Ave or south on A1A. I
do not believe this is the outcome that the Council and Cape Canaveral
residents wish to accomplish with this ordinance.
Is it not better to allow one more convenience store with fueling
stations in the heart of Port Canaveral to service all this future
demand, than to restrict the possibility of developing this site because
of the council's wish to restrict any additional fueling stations within
the City?
When considering the draft ordinance at the next Council meeting, I
respectfully request that you consider this parcel separate and apart
from the other restrictions so that - if a convenience store is
developed there in the future - it would serve to dramatically decrease
the amount of automotive and truck traffic into the City from the Port.
The Council may consider adding language that a parcel of 1.3 acres or
more with 175 feet of road frontage facing Challenger and George King
Blvd be permitted to develop a convenience store with sixteen fueling
stations to serve traffic in the Port.
Respectfully,
Tom Hermansen
