SlcRt NO. 7\l1 J9 EXHIBIT "e" EXlliBIT A to City of Boynton Beach Planning & Zoning Division's Code Variance Application Statement of Special Conditions, Hardships or Reasons Justifying: the Requested Variance: A. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands. structures or buildings in the same zoning district. Response: We have attempted to accommodate to the extent possible the design requirements of the Urban Commercial District Overlay Zone to have buildings as close as possible to Federal Highway. The shape oftrus parcel of land, however, does not allow for an efficient commercial building because to keep the building along the street would require the building to have angled walls, This configuration would cause the interior layout of the store and operation of the store to become unacceptable. for efficient operation. It is our understanding that this design preference was intended for a mixed use development, including residential, on an individual site. This particular parcel will have an exclusive commercial use. Placing the building closer to Federal Highway creates a problem for access to the truck dock which is an integral part of the successful operation of a retail store. Trucks entering the site at the northern entrance would not have enough space to maneuver and to use the truck dock efficiently. Putting the building on or near the Federal Highway property line would mean that the truck dock, the compactor, and the recycling storage areas would be in close proximity to customer parking which could create an unsafe condition for customers as well as truck deliveries. The reason for this is that if the store were placed closer to Federal Highway, a larger amount of the customer parking would have to be in the rear and side of the store. Another reason is that on the Federal Highway side of the parcel, existing water and sewer mains run the entire length of the parcel. To accorrunodate the overlay design, these water and sewer mains would have to be relocated or removed. This would vastly increase the cost for off-site improvements and would cause substantial disruption of service to other areas of the City because the water and sewer lines serve other areas. B. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the Applicant. Response: The special conditions and circumstances are not the result of actions by WaImart. The shape of the parcel and the conditions and circumstances set forth in response to Subsection A. are not the result of actions by Waimart. RM:7107800:1 C. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the apo!icant any special lJrivilege that is denied bv this Ordinance to other lands. buildings or structures in the same zoninJ! district: Response: The granting of this variance request will not confer on Walmart any special pnvllege. It 1S the result of the special conditions and circumstances set forth to the responses above. D. That literal interoretation of the provisions of this Chapter would deorive the alJlJlicant of ri'lhts commonlv en;oved by other lJroperties in the same zoning district under the terms of the Ordinance and would work unnecessarily an undue hardship on the Aoplicant: Response: The enforcement of the overlay design requirements to place the proposed Walmart store closer to Federal Highway will result in the inability of Walmart to construct a commercial building on the property. This building will serve the community as well as any new residential development in the area. In other areas with the same zoning commercial zoning, a property owner may place a building anywhere on the site so long as the site plan meets the setback and open space requirements of the City Code. E. 'That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land. building or structures: Response: In recognition of the overlay design requirements, the store has been located as close to Federal Highway as is possible recognizing the unique shape of the parcel and the proposed ultimate commercial use of the building. F. That the grantinf! of the variance will be in harmonv with the general intent and puroose of this Chapter and that such variance will not be iniurious to the area involved or otherwise detrimental to the lJublic welfare. Response: This variance request is not a request for a use variance. The proposed use is consistent with the property's commercial land use designation and commercial zoning. The granting of this variance will actually benefit the area involved and the public welfare by bringing new commercial development to the eRA district and the City. G. Variances to minimum lot area or lot frontage requirements, that property is not available from adiacent properties in order to meet these requirements or that the acquisition of such property would cause the ad;acent orooerty or structures to become non-conformin~. Applicant shall orovide an affidavit with the application for variance statinR that the above- mentioned conditions exist with respect to the acquisition of additional oroperty. Response: This provision is not applicable to this variance request. In conclusion, we respectfully request the granting of this variance because it will permit the construction of a new full service grocery and general merchandise Walmart store for the RM:7107800:1 2 Boy.nton Beach community. This should provide synergy for additional eRA District development. We respectfully request that due to all of the reasons stated above, particularly recognizing the limitations of the configuration of the parcel and other issues such as the existing water and sewer mains, the City grant this variance request.
