Draft Minutes of March 21, 2007, Community Development Board Meeting
5. New Business.
a. UBE 2007-02, Greg Gause, Advantage Plumbing. Request for aUse-by-
Exception to allow a plumbing contractor to occupy a developed site within
"~ the Commercial General Zoning District, located at 880 Mayport Road.
Greg Gause introduced himself to the Board as owner of Advantage Plumbing.
He described his business as primarily residential with a large clientele in the
Beaches area. Mr. Gause is currently under contract to purchase the 880 Mayport
Road property and intends to improve the site considerably in the future with the
construction of a new building to house his plumbing trucks, the removal of some
impervious surface and the installation of new landscaping. Mr. Boyer requested
information as to the number of work vehicles that could be present at this
location. Ms. Doerr responded that the ordinance allows one commercial vehicle
to be parked outdoors. Mr. Gause commented that for security reasons, none of
his five work trucks could be left outdoors. Chairman Jacobson asked if this
location would be used mostly to dispatch plumbing services to work locations.
Mr. Gause confirmed this to be correct. Chairman Jacobson inquired as to the
storage of Mr. Gause's plumbing materials and supplies, to which Mr. Gause
replied that his business was most all residential plumbing and that he did not
maintain a large inventory of plumbing supplies, but acquired these from supply
houses as they were needed, thus he does not require much storage space, except
for a secure indoor location for his trucks.
~. A motion was made by Mr. Burkhart, seconded by Chairman Jacobson, and
passed unanimously to recommend approval to the City Commission of a
Use-by-Exception to allow a plumbing contractor to be located within the
Commercial General (CG) Zoning District at 880 Mayport Road, subject to
the following:
• There shall be no outside storage of equipment or business related
materials; no manufacture, construction, heavy assembly involving
hoists or lifts, or equipment that makes excessive noise or fumes shall
!""" be permitted; and
• Not more than one contractor related vehicle shall be parked outdoors
on a continuous basis.
