Home My WebLink AboutItem IV PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT JUNE 4,2019 ITEM IV: ACCESS CONTROL VARIANCE FOR INCREASED CURB CUT WIDTH AT 601 BAYSHORE DRIVE GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant/Owner: Deann Cushman, Aaron Wagner Action Requested: The petitioner is requesting an access control variance to permit increased curb cut width from the maximum allowed 40' to 41' 10". Applicable Ordinance Provisions: The Access Control Ordinance, Section 25-104.1(I) of the Municipal Code. Property Location and Background Information: The subject site consists of one parcel, approximately 0.323 acres in size, located at the southeast corner of Bay Shore Drive and Bay Street. The subject site includes an 8,804 sq. ft. quonset building which is being used as a storage facility for boats and RVs. The surrounding area consists of commercial uses to the east and west and residential uses to the north. The 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends Center City use for the subject site.

The applicant is proposing to install a new overhead door for an additional access from Bay Shore Drive. According to the applicant, the second overhead door along Bay Shore Dr. is needed for maneuverability of larger/heavier boats and vehicles such as more motorboats, sailboats and recreational vehicles are being stored in the building. The applicant states that they had originally hoped to remove some of the support columns inside to increase space to maneuver the boats/vehicles,but this was not feasible due to poor soil quality leading to an inability to increase loads on the footings. Along with this, the existing door on the rear of the building cannot be utilized for this purpose due to lack of space between the building and the river. The proposed new overhead door will be 16' wide X 14'high. The applicant had originally planned to access the new overhead door with a separate entrance from Bay Shore Drive. However, staff in conjunction with the Department of Public Works is recommending one driveway rather than two as Bay Shore Dr. is currently in the CIP for a full reconstruct at which time sidewalks maybe be installed along with new aprons. The expansion of the existing driveway for access to the new overhead door will result in a 41' 10" wide curb cut, where code allows a maximum curb cut of 40'. In this particular case staff does not see the requested curb cut increase as a major issue as it will be consistent with the commercial uses immediately to the east which exceed the maximum curb cut width. The increased curb cut should not cause traffic concerns as Bay Shore Dr. is a local street which experiences relatively low traffic counts. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff recommends approval of the access control variance to permit increased curb cut width to 41' 10" where code allows a maximum width of 40'.

Since at least 1985,when the previous owner purchased the property, most general maintenance issues have not been addressed.The building and property need significant repairs. It is our desire to improve the esthetics of the building and enhance the property including working with Radtke Construction and McMahon on plans for the development of the riverfront including a seawall and boat slips. We are also exploring options to refinish the exterior of the building including Alumacoat and Zinc applications and performing tree and brush removal -allowing for increased parking and further improving the community.As a result, we are shifting our clientele to include motorboats as well as Sailboats and Recreational Vehicles. In order to accommodate the larger- heavier boats and vehicles a plan was required to maneuver in between the existing columns that divide the structure. With McMahon's engineers we sought to remove some of the columns and increase the space between those remaining. The plan was discarded due to poor soil quality leading to an inability to increase loads on the footings. Another plan was to utilize the existing 14' bypass door at the rear of the building. This was abandoned for lack of room between the building and the Fax River. Having ruled out all feasible alternatives we are left with the option to install an additional overhead door to utilize the east half of the building.This would require installation of an apron to provide access. Currently,the location of the proposed apron is not curbed and is in poor condition. It is not graded properly to provide drainage and as a result, a standing water puddle has developed rendering the area unserviceable. The building was constructed close the setbacks of Bayshore Drive and Bay street with an 8.7' setback to the property line dividing Lot 2 from Lot 3 to the East. Please see attached survey. We have been working closely with Bayshore Marina owner Larry Akstlewicz next door and residents directly across Bayshore Drive-Scott Nigl, Marvin Blanchard and Dan Kriz. All have been informed of the proposed construction and agree that the apron will be a benefit to the neighborhood. The neighbors also welcome the improvements to the building fagade and property. The owners/residents have signed their consent to attached documents. We seek an Access Variance to install an apron to gain an ingress to utilize the Eastern half of the building and improve the area from its current condition. We appreciate your time and consideration on this project.Thank you.
