FLORIDA APRIL 17. 1995 D. case No~ 204 Location: Property Owner: Request: East of High Ridge Road and 460 feet north of Gateway Boulevard Tr1-County Comuter Ra1l Authortt, Request for relief from Appendix A, Zoning, Section 7.H.17 to omit the required peripheral greenbelt along that portion of the PID boundary which coincides with the east property line of the proposed parking facility for the Tri-Rail station. Ms. Houston read portions of this application, including the applicant's state- ment of special conditions, hardships or reasons justifying the requested excep- tion or variance. . John Handley represented Tr1-Rail and displayed a graphic of the site. He is proposing to add necessary parking and bring the cars into a common accessway and have them function throughout the site, leaving the pedestrian corridors open. The pedestrian corridors lead directly to the Tr1-Rail Station. In order to do this, he requested relief from having to providJ the 40 foot wide green- belt. He explained that the greenbelt would separate the parking facility from the Tri-Ra1l Station. The greenbelt is required to separate this use from adja- cent uses; however, both properties are owned by different divisions within the Department of Transport1on. Therefore, funding is different and a unity of title cannot be done between this property and the entire rail corridor. He advised that triple the required landscaping was provided, and he worked very closely with the City Forester to preserve as many trees as possible. Mr. Handley stated that he appeared before the Planning and Development Board with a similar request because the Code requires a landscape strip along the property line. The Planning and Development Board recommended approval because it does not make sense to do that. Mr. Handley advised that he is trying to separate the cars and the people as much as possible. Therefore, he provided two pedestrian walkways. Once the people get out of their cars, they get on the walkways and never have to cross vehicular traffic. No one wished to speak in favor of or in opposition to this variance. Several members of the Board made favorable comments regarding this project. Motion Mr. Miriana moved to grant the request for relief from Appendix A, Zoning, Section 7.H.17 to omit the required peripheral greenbelt along that portion of the PIO boundary which coincides with the east property line of the proposed parking facility for the Tri-Rai1 station. Mr. Bennan seconded the motion. A roll call vote was polled by the Recording Secretary. The motion carried 7-0. - 5 - OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK MEMORANDUM TO: Ms TAMBRI HEYDEN Planning & Zoning Director DATE: March 30, 1995 FROM: SUE KRUSE City Clerk RE: Notice of Hearing Attached please find a copy of the NOtice of Hearing for the application of a parking expansion for the Tri-Rail Commuter Station, submitted by Tri-County Commuter Rail Authority.
