in and out of Home Depot. Mr. Aguila also requested information on the elevations of the
signage.
Mr. Carcache advised that in order to make the driveway one-way, the applicant proposes to
reduce the width to only 15' by increasing the landscape island. The signage will be based
on the elevation of SW 8th Street.
Mr. Haag directed the members to Page 17, Item #16 of Planning and Zoning Department
#95-333. He stated that he heard the applicant agree with staff's recommendations. Staff's
recommendation is that the west access point requested for a variance be deleted and replaced
with a new access point along the east property boundary. Mr. Carcache stated that the
conditional use and the parking lot variance are two separate issues. At this point, he was
only answering a question which had been asked.
Motion
Mr. Wische moved with reference to Taco Bell, the conditional use drive-through restaurant,
to deny the request. Vice Chairman Golden seconded the motion.
Vice Chairman Golden stated that this is a fairly decent size outparcel in a recently-approved
outparcel. He does not see why the applicant cannot make every effort to meet current codes
including the location of the drive-through window. With regard to the parking lot variances,
if the applicant had not requested the median opening on SW 8th Street, there would not be
a need for the variances. He agrees with staff's recommendations.
The motion carried 5-1. (Mr. Beasley cast the dissenting vote.)
Motion
Vice, Chairman Golden moved to amend the agenda to move up the parking lot variance for
Taco Bell. Mr. Rosenstock seconded the motion which carried 5-0. (Mr. Wische was away
from the dais.)

Request for relief from Chapter 23 - Parking Lots,
Article II, Section H.5., land Development
Regulations, to reduce the distance between a
street right-of-way line at a major driveway to a
parking space/access aisle from the required 100
feet to 30 feet.
Description:
Mr. Haag made the presentation. The City Commission has made a determination that they
wi II make the final decision on parking lot variances, but they want input and
recommendations from the Planning & Development Board.
As previously mentioned, the distance from the right-of-way line to the first ingress should be
100'. The applicant is requesting a variance to reduce that distance to 3D'. This driveway
leads back and will tie into the Home Depot site to the east.
Staff's recommendation is as follows: "On Tuesday, June 26, 1995, the Technical Review
Committee (TRC) reviewed the revised plans and documents submitted and formulated a
recommendation with regard to the variances requested. After review and discussion, the TRC
recommended approval of the parcel's access point closest to SW 8th Street to be located
approximately 30' from SW 8th Street, subject to the access aisle into the Taco Bell site being
limited to ingress only (see Engineering Division Memorandum No. 95-213). The TRC
determined that this condition is necessary so as to prevent exiting traffic within the major
driveway from stacking beyond, and blocking access to the entrances to the Taco Bell
property. "
In Vice Chairman Golden's opinion, this is a self-imposed hardship which was created by the
applicant's request for the median opening on SW 8th Street. Therefore, he is opposed.
Motion
Vice Chairman Golden moved to recommend to the City Commission that this request should
be denied. Mr. Rosenstock seconded the motion.
Mr. Beasley stated that he would not have a problem with this request if it was a one-way
ingress.
The motion carried 5-1. (Mr. Beasley dissented.)
