PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Eran Wajswol and Debra Van Sickle-Wajswol have submitted, for approval, an application for a CUP to construct a Recreational Vehicle (“RV”) Garage addition at 951 Scott Drive, Marco Island, Florida. Pursuant to the City’s Land Development Code (“LDC”), RV garages with door heights greater than 10 feet are a conditional use in single-family home zoning districts. The proposed RV garage door dimensions will be 12’-0” by 12’-0”. Attached are the application, site plan, and elevation drawings.
FUNDING SOURCE / FISCAL IMPACT: Applicant has paid $4,000.00 in applicable fees.
PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS: 15 days prior to Planning Board hearing.
NOTICE APPEARANCE DATE(S): March 18, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
City Staff recommends the Planning Board forward a recommendation for approval of CUP-23-000444 to the City Council based on the following finding and conditions:
FINDINGS:
1. The proposed addition will meet the requirements of the City’s Land Development Code (“LDC”), will not adversely affect the public interest and the property owners have submitted the required documentation to proceed with their application.
2. The Goals section of the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Element calls for “Enhance[ment]…” of Marco Island’s “…tropical small town and resort character…” which can be considered to be served by providing the homeowner the ability to store a large vehicle, outside of the view of the neighbors, while retaining the existing aesthetics of the area. The Comprehensive Plan and LDC seeks to reduce visual clutter from having large vehicles parked in the driveway, or within view of the wider community and the City Council has allowed for a process to request these larger doors to accommodate citizens’ RVs.
3. The design provides for ample driveway space to maneuver into the proposed RV garage.
4. The RV garage has been designed to integrate with the principal structure and other homes in the neighborhood.
5. The proposed RV garage is designed and oriented appropriately for the single-family district.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. The proposed recreation vehicle garage must comply with the dimensional standards for RSF-3 district.
2. The parking, storage and use of the recreation vehicle shall conform to Land Development Code regulations pertaining to recreational vehicles [Sec. 30-1007(b)].
POTENTIAL MOTION: Move to approve Resolution 24-XX with the listed findings and conditions.
