248 Levy Road UBE-2003-02 Minutes CDBb. UBE-2003-02, Rockgarden Enterprises, Inc. Request for a Use-by-Exception to allow for the construction of an addition to an existing building, which will be occupied by a custom
cabinet shop, for property within the CG Zoning District and located at 248 Levy Road.
Mr. Peter Rodriquez introduced himself and Mr. Robert Perrett as owners of Rockgarden Enterprises. He stated that they are proposing to add 8,000 square feet to the existing building
and would like to lease 5,000 square feet to a cabinet shop.
Mr. Frohwein asked Mr. Rodriquez what type of sawdust collection system the cabinet shop would install. Mr. Rodriquez stated that the cabinet shop was an existing cabinet shop in another
location but he could not speak to what type of equipment was used. Mr. Rodriguez assured the Board that the equipment would be located inside the building. Discussion was held with
regard to hours of operation. Mr. Wolfson advised the applicant that the Board must take into consideration the nearby residential neighborhood when speaking to hours of operation.
Mr. Wolfson asked about lighting and fencing. Ms. Doerr responded that the applicant must meet the Commercial General zoning requirements. Mr. Wolfson expressed concern with regard
to excessive noise, lights and/or extremely late hours of operation and requested that these be addressed in the Use-by-Exception.
Mr. Frohwein asked about fencing. Ms. Doerr responded that she made a recommendation that no chain link fence be installed within the Required Front yard. Mr. Rodriquez stated that
it would be acceptable to him to install a wood fence along the front of the property.
Ms. Drysdale asked the applicant if the cabinet shop would have any retail space. Mr. Rodriguez responded that the tenant would have an office and that he might display hardware and
different size woods where customers could look at these, but that this was not a retail business.
Mrs. Walker confirmed with Ms. Doerr that the landscaping provisions would be enforced through the building permit process. Ms. Doerr confirmed that the new construction would be subject
to the landscaping provisions of the Code.
A motion was made by Mr. Frohwein; seconded by Mr. Wolfson, and unanimously carried to recommend approval to the City Commission of the Use-by-Exception subject to the following conditions:
1) Hours of operation shall be limited to 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday;
2) There shall be no outside storage by the cabinet shop;
3) No chain-link fence shall be installed within the required front yard of the property;
4) Equipment for sawdust collection shall be located inside of the building; and
5) This Use-by-Exception shall be granted to this applicant and this cabinet shop only.
