Mr.Dickey,
Your response contradicts what has been communicated in the last few
weeks not just verbally but through written communication too.
What about the "illegally" drawn parking spots in the back of the
building ? Your communication doesn't address it. Please be clear about
the same. Are you now stating that they're ok to be there after
maintaining the past few weeks that they were not "formally" approved by
the city? Actually didn't know that there is something called
"informal" approval till the meeting we had few weeks back!!!??? Who
then is responsible when there is no clearance for the delivery trucks
to come through the back and when our back door gets blocked?
I'll be filing a formal written complaint in the morning on how the
city engages in selective enforcement and how some expansions are being
approved to favor certain vested interests without following the
processes and procedures common to all citizens . Appalled that it took
you 3+ weeks to come up with a contradictory message and this looks like
a justification to someone's action/decision of approving the parking
spaces in the back without relevant paperwork.

Good afternoon. I thought it would be beneficial for all of the
parties if a summary of the parking situation at 8501 Astronaut
Boulevard was prepared. Let me clearly state that some of the issues
that are being experienced by tenant(s) at the property are outside the
City’s purview. The City can and will assist with issues that are
directly related to City Code. Other issues being reported must be
addressed by the tenant(s) and/or landlord, including the designation of
reserved parking (which is not prohibited by City Code), speeding in the
parking lot, access to the dumpster, leaking roof, etc.
The City Code establishes specific standards/requirements
related to off-street parking for all businesses in the City. The
following is a break-down of required parking for the current tenant
mix:
· Edible Arrangements – 2400 sq. ft. – 8 spaces (1
space/300 square feet)
· Legend Smoke Shop – 1200 sq. ft. – 4 spaces (1
space/300 square feet)
· The Mortgage Project – 1200 sq. ft. – 4 spaces (1
space/300 square feet)
· Southern Charm – 117 seats – 39 spaces (1 space/3
seats)
· TOTAL – 55 spaces
There are currently 55 permitted, striped parking spaces on the
property. As part of the most-recent expansion of Southern Charm, Staff
discussed the parking situation with the tenant and landlord.
Specifically, that the allowed seats would be limited by the available
number of parking spaces. Therefore, seating at Southern Charm is
limited to 117 seats. City Staff will monitor this on an-going basis
until such time that additional parking is available. Note that the
landlord is currently in the process of permitting the construction of
15 additional parking spaces along the western property line.
In addition to the 55 permitted spaces, there are five (5)
unpermitted, striped parking spaces along the west side of the building.
Regarding these spaces, it was suggested that they represented
violations to the City’s Fire Code requirements due to restricting
emergency vehicular movements around the building. To determine what, if
any, violations exist, Staff walked the property on January 28, 2020
with Chief Dave Sargeant of the Canaveral Fire Rescue (CFR) and Fire
Inspector Jeff Roberts, also with the CFR. After an inspection of the
property, Chief Sargeant determined there is no violation of Fire Lane
regulations. Fire lane regulations only apply to the drive aisles in the
front (east side) of the building. It was determined that Code
Enforcement can enforce fire lane violations in this area. Therefore, if
any parking occurs in non-designated spaces within the fire lane (east
of the building), Code Enforcement should be contacted immediately.
Until such time that the additional 15 parking spaces are
completed, the property owner may request approval of the five (5)
parking spaces along the west side of the building. This would be
considered a minor commercial improvement and would not be required to
meet requirements under Article VI – Site Plans of Chapter 110, City
Code. However, the property owner would be required to submit a revised
site layout plan showing the dimension and location of the requested
spaces. Note that these spaces will be eliminated as part of the
construction of the 15 spaces.
Finally, the City’s Public Works Department was contacted to
determine if there have been any reported issues with access to the
refuse dumpster, located in the northwest part of the property. Waste
Pro was contacted and reported there have been no problems with
accessing the dumpster.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please
contact me. Thank you.
Sincerely

to know how long we should expect to continue waiting for the city
attorney to provide you with whatever information you've sought from him
and to know the reasons for seeking the same as it's having a impact on
our situation. Definitive answers at the earliest would help us in
chalking our course of action in protecting our business interests and
to secure the safety of our personnel .
Looking forward to your response.

Mr.Robinson,
An hour back the store personnel had
called and followed up with an email including photos about illegal
parking.
Now currently we have the same situation
with our supplier's delivery truck not being able to come through the
side nor exit through due to illegal parking. The supplier had to unload
from the front which is not right for him nor us due to the inefficiency
and extra work.Please find attacheode EnfoԵ ಂF閨ི仰༸
will be sent tomorrow after compiling all the correspondence we've had
with the Land Lord the past 18 months

Good Afternoon Mr. Morley:
This is Anna Vangal from Edible Arrangements.
Please review the conversations Sri Vangal had been having with your
team in the City Hall.
We had been given a run around by the city officials and we would like
to meet you in person and discuss the 'Ongoing' Parking issues and how
certain expansion was approved
when we already had issues with parking.
Will appreciate your time and we promise we will not need much of your
time but wanted to have an one on one conversation with you and show how
a small business like has been given run around.
Regards
Anna
