UBE- 2002 -06, Jerry Hoev. (Beaches Woodcrafts) Request for a Use -by- Exception to allow office use, cabinet shop and light warehousing in a 15,000 square foot building, with all activities located within the enclosed building, on a two -acre parcel in the Commercial General (CG) Zoning District and located at 15 Simmons Road. Mr. Jerry Hoey introduced himself and stated that he would like to develop a 15,000 square foot building to house his company, Beaches Woodcraft. Mr. Hoey further stated that he would occupy approximately 8,000 square feet and would expect to grow into the balance of the space in five years. Until that time, he stated that he would rent the space and that any proposed tenant would be consistent with the Use -by- Exception. In response to a question from Mr. Frohwein, Ms. Doerr advised that even though a portion of the land was zoned RG -2, the zoning of the larger portion was zoned Commercial General and, therefore, the zoning of the larger portion of the lot conveys to the smaller portion of the lot. Discussion was held with regard to the address of the property. Mr. Jason Henson, who represents the seller of the property, explained that the address of 15 Simmons Road was the address of the current owner of the building and the land located behind the building. Mr. Wolfson expressed concern with regard to the close proximity of the retention pond to residential property. Ms. Doerr stated that the retention pond was required to meet drainage requirements. Mrs. Walker requested that Ms. Doerr ensure that the landscape ordinance be applied to this property. Mr. Wolfson requested that the applicant install a fence to deter children from entering the retention pond. He further requested that the applicant install a vinyl- coated fencing that would blend into the shrubbery. Ms. Doerr advised. the Board that the applicant was required to comply with landscaping requirements and buffering and would recommend that the fencing be located on the inside of the buffer. A motion was made by Mr. Burkhart, seconded by Mr. Wolfson and unanimously carried to recommend approval of the Use -by- Exception to the City Commission with the following conditions: 1) No chain link, or similar type of fence shall be installed on the westernmost side of the property, which adjoins Mayport Road, and further any such fencing shall be limited to that as shown on the site plan submitted with this application. 2) All exterior lighting shall be directed towards the site and shall not illuminate adjacent residential parcels. 3) All business activities shall be maintained within the enclosed building, and there shall be no outside storage of any goods or materials. 4) The fencing on the eastern side of the property adjacent to the residential uses be aesthetically attractive, such as a dark green or black vinyl- coated fence.
