Engineering, Inc., Applicant.
Chairperson Hayes advised this agenda item was postponed at the previous meeting at the
applicants request.
John Grenlick and Kohn Bennett, representatives for Towne Realty, advised that this
request was for a one year placement of a temporary building at the RaceTrac gas station.
The Board members reviewed photographs of the site and setting where the proposed
temporary building would be placed. Mr. Grenlick explained that the objective to
consider the structure on a one year basis was to test the tourist market; the use would be
for maps, directions, information to local attractions, and visitors to the Cape Caribe
Resort; if the use is not successful, the building would be removed and the area left as it
looks today. Mr. Grenlick confirmed that the building and location was the exact same as
the previous application. He entered photographs for the Board's review (Exhibit A). He
advised that the would be setback for AIA and the building would not be visible from the
South and only visible from the North when customers enter the RaceTrac gas station.
Mr. Bennett advised that there were no plans for signs to advertise this business.
Mr. Bruns voiced his objection to this request. He advised that he was opposed to a
temporary structure at the entrance of the City and concerned that there was not a request
submitted for proposed signage. He advised that the City already had a tourist
information business and there was also one in Cocoa Beach. Mr. Wasserman questioned
if the Board would set a presendence if they approved a temporary building. Assistant
City Attorney Buak advised that temporary structures are considered on a case -by -case
basis. Ms. Gumpher, Allen Engineering, project engineers, confirmed that there would
be two additional parking spaces available than what is required by code. Mr. Bennett
advised that RaceTrac corporation does not allow other businesses to be located within
the inside of their buildings or allow other establishments on their property to look like
