Mr. Card asked why staff was recommending denial. Mr. Lear stated that they were requesting a
variance of 65-feet, and that the 100-foot setback was established so there were not mini-
warehouses fronting on US Highway 1.
Ty Harris, 450 S. Nova Road Daytona Beach, stated he understood Mr. Lear's concerns, but this is
a unique site. The existing facility was developed in the County and the property owner wants to
keep the development consistent. He added that this parcel has considerably less depth than the
parcel to the south. He stated they could soften the property with a landscape buffer.
Mr. Weiss asked what the existing front setback was for the facility to the south. Mr. Lear stated
it was about 70-feet.
Mr. Card asked what the setback would be for any other use on this property. Mr. Lear stated 40-
feet.
Mr. Fuhrmann asked if they could put offices in the front and use the lesser setback. Mr. Lear
stated yes, although the other mini-warehouse sites have larger parcels.
Mr. Garthwaite asked why the applicant wanted to put mini-warehouses there. Mr. Harris stated
the applicant wants to expand the existing site. He added that the lot constraints necessitate the
need for a variance.
There was discussion as to whether or not this could have been built in the County.
Mr. Harris asked if the City was willing to discuss a compromise. Mrs. Zeese stated that was not
the recommendation. Mr. Fuhrmann asked if the City would look upon this more favorably if the
request were smaller.
There being no further discussion Chairman V opelak closed the public hearing.
Mrs. Zeese moved to deny the variance requests from Section 21-34.11(2) to allow a front
setback of for feet 40' in lieu of the re uired one hundred feet 100' for mini-
warehouses and Section 21-50.02-Table V-I to allow a rear setback of ten feet (10') in
lieu of required twenty-five feet (25').
Mr. Harris asked if the Board would be willing to continue the request so they can try to work
out a solution. Mr. Lear stated they could appeal the Board's decision. Mr. Harris stated he
would rather try to work it out and come back.
