Title
RESOLUTION - Variance Petition (VP-26-000054) regarding Minimum Landscape Requirements and Dimensional Standards and Regulations for Property Located at 2259 San Marco Rd., Marco Island, FL 34145 - Mary P. Holden, Planning Manager, Community Affairs/Growth Management
Body
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Mason Lundquist, P.E., on behalf of Collier County, has submitted for approval three variances, all along the north side of the property line. The variances are being requested due to the construction/installation of an elevated, new generator and fuel tank pedestal and the required parking and fire lane access.
For this zone district, P-ST, setbacks are based on the most restrictive zone district within 100 feet. That would be the A-ST (Agricultural), which requires fifty (50) feet for front, side and rear yard. The proposed setback of the new elevated generated and fuel tanks is 17.72 feet. The next two variance requests are to allow required parking in the required north landscape buffer and to provide a fence instead of landscape in the buffer. The placement of the parking spaces in the landscape buffer is due to site constraints, placement of existing structures and the required fire lane.
The existing structures, the water tank and pump station, also do not meet the setbacks. Technically, they do not need a variance but they are being requested as part of this variance application.
FUNDING SOURCE / FISCAL IMPACT: Applicant has paid $2,000.00 in applicable fees.
