Request
Variance:
Flowers Warehouse/Distribution Center
Park Ridge Boulevard, Quantum Park Lots 47-A, 47-B and a portion of Lot 46-A
First Eagle Development
Request for a variance from the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2,
Section 7.H.3 - Accessways - to reduce the minimum driveway spacing
requirement of 150 feet to:
1. 133.48 feet between the driveways on the subject property; and
2. approximately 65 feet between the western driveway of the property
immediately to the east and the eastern driveway of the subject property.
Richard Bekesh. 3014 US Hiahwav #1. Holidav. Florida. represented the applicant. He explained
that Flowers proposes to develop a 7,000 square foot distribution center. Flowers employs over 40,000
people and has three plants through the State of Florida. The plants are in Miami, Jacksonville, and
Bradenton.
This proposed distribution center will serve the bakery in Miami. The bread is shipped from Miami and
distributed to the centers. One thousand square feet of this distribution center will be settlement area.
The remaining 6,000 square feet will be used for distribution. A 65' tractor trailer will transport the
bread to this center from Miami where it will be off-loaded.
In order for this facility to function safely and efficiently, it is necessary to have two points of ingress and
egress. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow 138' between the two internal accessways
because of the width of the property. The applicant cannot separate the driveways any further than
proposed. In addition, Mr. Bekesh urged the board to support the applicant's request to allow the 65'
separation between the parcels.
Mr. Bekesh explained that when Quantum Park was platted, this area was platted for two lots. On the
west is Alpha Drive. and on the east is Beta Drive. Packaging Concepts is to the east of this proposed
facility. The only remaining parcel that could be developed in this area is to the west. That
development would have access off Alpha Drive.
Ms. Hammer asked Mr. Bekesh to explain the operation at this facility. Mr. Bekesh advised that the
main relay tractor trailer will arrive at the facility between 4:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. The distribution
drivers arrive, pick up the merchandise, and leave the facility by 6:30 a.m. They then return to the
facility at approximately 3:30 p.m. to settle their accounts. There is no retail facility at this location.
Mr. Rappoport asked if this operation would interfere with the neighbors on either side. Mr. Bekesh
responded negatively. He reported that he has learned that Park Ridge Boulevard will not go through
once the high school is developed.
Mrs. Huckle asked if there is an occupant on the property west of Alpha Drive. Mr. Bekesh responded
negatively. When the proposal was brought to Quantum, they recommended this site. The applicant
was surprised. as was Quantum. that there was a problem. They met with staff to see if the problems
could be overcome. However, they were already all the way through the site plan process, and staff
2

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS

SEPTEMBER 16, 1996
recommended that the applicant apply for a variance.
Mr. Rappoport asked where this facility is in relation to Gateway Boulevard. Mr. Bekesh explained that
Gateway Boulevard is to the north. None of the roads involved in this application lead into Gateway
Boulevard.
Chairman Miriana asked Ms. Heyden if there are any conflicts on the 65' spread in and out on the east
side next to Packaging Concepts. Ms. Heyden explained that the distance between Flowers and
Packaging Concepts is 65'. Both drives are right-turn in and right-turn out. Neither Packaging
Concepts nor Flowers can make a left turn out of the driveway because of the location of the median.
Mr. Bekesh added that Packaging Concepts' trailer traffic enters that facility at Beta Drive. Their
entrance is not near where Flowers' trailers will enter their facility. They will not have trailer traffic at
that driveway. It will be strictly for cars.
In response to Mr. Rappoport's question, Mr. Bekesh advised that Packaging Concepts is aware of
Flowers' request. Ms. Heyden further advised that the property owners within 400' were advised of this
request, and she has not received any input from anyone in the area.
THERE WAS NO ONE PRESENT IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHED TO SPEAK ON THIS
APPLlCA TION.
Ms. Hammer supports the approval of this variance. She does not believe there will be any conflict
once the school is built. The City is anxious to see Quantum Park developed, and Ms. Hammer feels
it would be advantageous for the board to support this request.
Ms. Hollingshead said she is troubled by the 65' proximity because frequent curb cuts slow traffic.
However, the intent of Quantum Park was light industrial. She cannot conceive of anyone not wanting
to get a truck onto this parcel. The board's choice would either be to render this parcel useless for light
industrial unless we can come up with someone who does not use trucks, or approve the variance.
She feels this request is appropriate. If the neighbors had any.problems with this request, they would
have come to this meeting to express their concerns.
In response to a question from Mrs. Huckle, Ms. Heyden advised that when Quantum was platted
between Alpha and Beta Drives, it was platted for two parcels. We are now getting three parcels. That
is the reason why this problem has surfaced.
Chairman Miriana feels that since this development would not create any major problems for the high
school, he sees no reason to deny the variance. He further realizes that this is one of the things that
needs to be done to get the development of Quantum Park going. It has been laying idle for much too
long.
Motion
Mr. Rappoport moved to vote approval for the request for Flowers Bakery Warehouse.
Chairman Miriana pointed out that there are two parts of this request -- the 133.48 square feet, and the
65' foot separation.
