DYNE Operating, Applicant, Greenway-Keller LP., Owner. (SP-22-0012)
Background:
The Applicant submitted a Site Plan Amendment to modify the front elevations by creating a small patio area with a three-and-a-half-foot wrought iron fence.
All Site Plans in the Town Center Zoning District must receive approval by City Council following a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Site Layout:
The Applicant proposes a small portion of the storefront to create a patio area. A three-and-a-half-foot dark gray wrought iron fence will be installed in front of the store with two tables with umbrellas (8 seats total). (See “Exhibit A.”)
Landscaping:
Tropical Smoothie will not be removing the planter boxes adjacent to the proposed fence.
Sidewalk:
The distance between the proposed three-and-a-half-foot wrought iron fence and the parking stale curb is five foot and eight inches.
Site Plan Amendment request:
1. To allow the front elevation to be modified as indicated in “Exhibit A.”
Citizen Input:
A Site Plan Amendment application, even with variances, does not require a public hearing, so no public hearing notifications were sent out to the surrounding property owners for this request. The public will have an opportunity to speak on this agenda item during “Persons To Be Heard”.
