B. Staff Analysis:
The I-2 zoned property located at #4 Production Drive is
occupied by a 13,000+ square foot warehouse housing the
Frito Lay Distribution Center. Within the building, are
2,300 square feet of office space. Frito Lay is converting
a mezzanine level into an additional 2,300 square feet of
office area. The creation of this second floor of office
space has generated a building code requirement to construct
a rated fire exit onto the front of the building. The
enclosed stairwell will extend 12 feet out from the face of
the building and will cross a 40 foot platted building line,
resulting in a front yard setback of 36.6 feet. The I-2
district front yard setback requirement of 50 feet is
superceded by the platted building line.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. This minor,
3.5 foot intrusion across the building line should have no
effect on other properties in the area. There is a parking
lot located between the building and Production Drive. The
property has 460+ feet of street frontage and the proposed
stairwell is only 38 feet in width, less than 10% of the
overall property width. This minor reduction in setback
should not be readily visible to the naked eye and will
address a building code/fire safety issue.
If the Board approves the building line variance, the
applicant will have to do a one -lot replat reflecting the
change in the building line. The applicant should review
the filing procedure with the Circuit Clerk's Office to
determine if the replat requires a revised Bill of
Assurance. _
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested variance subject
to compliance with the following conditions:
1. A one -lot replat reflecting the change in the building
line as approved by the Board.
2. Compliance with Public Works Comments including any
variance or waiver of these requirements as may be
granted by the Director of Public Works or the Board of
Directors.
