Planning & Zoning Board November 12, 1997 • Page 12 • • F. Bruce Hanson, Surfside Seaplane Base, 6980 Lake Drive, Site Plan Review Ms. Wyland provided the following background for this item: Mr. Hanson of Surfside Seaplane Base is asking for a site plan review to allow for the construction of two additional hangers on his property at 6980 Lake Drive. This particular site has experienced various zoning classifications over the years from commercial to resididential and back to commercial. The present zoning classification is R -1 Single Family. The Conceptual Land Use Plan for Planning District 2 has identified this area as a private airfield surrounded by a performance zoning district. The intent of the performance zoning district was to provide for uses that would be compatible with the existing airfield which has been in this location for more than 40 years. Staff determined that the proper channel for reivew of this item is the Site Plan Review procedure. The Zoning Ordinance provides that any use, other than single family, requires a site plan review. The Ordinance also limits exterior storage in both the residential and commercial zoning districts. The construction of two airplane hangers on this site will reduce the existing exterior storage which is currently considered a pre - existing non- conforming use of the site. Mr. Hanson's plan is to construct the larger hanger as soon as possible and the smaller hanger in the Spring. The hangers are constructed of architectural steel with concrete floors. The exterior will be vinyl or metal siding to match or blend with the color of the existing storage buildings. The larger building is proposed to be 4800 square feet (60 x 80), while the smaller building will be 3600 square feet (60 x 60). Both buildings will be located 30 feet from the rear property line and approximately 15 feet apart. These setbacks are within the requirements of the Ordinance, which provides for a 5 -foot setback. Staff recommended approval of this site plan review in order to reduce the existing exterior storage on the site, pursuant to the following conditions: 1. Proper building permits are obtained prior to construction. 2. Any additional exterior lighting proposed shall require a detailed lighting plan reviewed by City Straff and the CPTED Officer. 3. No additional exterior storage is allowed. The intent of the hanger is to reduce existing exterior storage on the site. 4. Exterior coloring of the proposed buildings shall blend with the existing structures. 5. Construction of the second hanger shall ble initiated within one year of the date of this permit. 6. Drainage plans shall be reviewed by the City Engineer. 7. Permits shall be obtained from the RCWD if required.
