1. Perhaps the property should be fenoed to prohibit ohildren trom
playing in the parking lot.
The dust and drainage would be addressed' by ,the Traffio'
Engineering and Engineering Departments and, sinoe the parking
area must be surfaoed, this would result in an. improvement.
3.
Noise and lights oould be addressed through landsoaping on the
north and east property lines.
q. If the property were improved in a manner oompatible with
adjaoent properties, perhaps there would be notlnanoial':1mpaot.

south direotion and looated oloser to the medioal oenter. He.
reviewed a rough sketoh showing reoommended parking.
The Hearing Offioer stated he would like to have proposed solutions,
submitted by the parties.
Mr.
Engineer
Officer.

EINDtNGS OF FACT
1. Petitioner, within the past year, purchased two
~
" '
tracts of property 50 feet by 100 feet located at 614-620
Mandalay Avenue on Clearwater Beach. ThiB prQpeFty is zoned
"CG" or "General Business" and there are four buildingB on
-.
this property comprising five dwelling units. The land use
plan for this location is commercial/tourist facilities.
2. Petitioner submitted an artist's drawing of
what the site could look like if the variance requested was
granted. No building permits have been requested; accordingly,
no specific plans have been submitted to establish the use
to which the property would be put if the variance requested
is .granted.'
3. The proposal of Petitioner (such as it is) con-
templates converting the ground floors of the existing
structures to commercial use. If the existing buildings were
so converted, with ~he upper floors remaining residential,
'it
the zoning code requires provision be made for twenty-eight
off-street parking spaces. Since the existing five dwelling
units would be credited (grandfathered) for having eight
I
"
such parking spaces due to the construction having occurred
before the zoning code.was ena~edt Petitioner is requesting
a variance for the remaining twenty, off-street parking spaces
that would be required. Actua'11y, ..there are no of'f':'street .', '
parking spaces on this property but five or six parking spaces
exist in the right-of-way for Mandalay Avenue.
4. There are no off-street parking spaces on Mandalay
Avenue in 'the' vicinity of Petitioner.a property and none are
