C. Conditional Uses
1. Rosemarie Fischer to permit a veterinary office at 410 S. Pegasus Ave.,
SkycrBst Sub, Unit C, Blk A, Lot 5, zoned CG (Commercial Genera!). CU 95-
61
Ms. Glatthorn gave the background of the case and presented, in writing, staff rec-
ommendations. She stated the Keene Road Pet Hospital is being forced to move from
its present location due to redevelopment of the site into a Walgreens store. It is
proposed to convert an existing beauty salon into the veterinary office. Ms Glatthorn
read supplementary standards for veterinary offices. stating staff recommends
approval subject to five conditions.
Dan Cowden, veterinarian representing the applicant, stated he wishes to purchase
the subject property. Noting the main focus of the supplementary standards appears
to deal with noise, he explained the structure of the walls and ceiling would muffle any
animal noise from disturbing the neighbors.
In response to questions, Mr. Cowden said pets are only kept overnight for medical
reasons and then only as long as medically necessary. He stressed he will not run a
boarding kennel. He said he will have 20 cages; and expects about five animals at a
time, on average. He indicated most of his patients are cats.

Mr. Cowden stated he proposes a fenced pet walking area in the rear, on the south
side of the building and could add up to ten indoor runs in the future. Concerns were
expressed with having any part of the operation outdoors. Questions were raised
regarding the runs. Mr. Cowden said he has worked extensively with his architect
concerning design and construction material details and the runs are to be completely
contained within the building. He explained animals need to be taken outdoors
occasionally for fresh air and sunshine. He said the pets are always leashed and
attended.
No one was present to speak in support or opposition to the request.
Discussion ensued regarding the building layout. setbacks and site plan. Mr.
Cowden explained the drawing submitted with the application was for the beauty
salon. He did not have a current drawing of his proposal due to the short amount of
time he has to move.

possible given site conditions, within three months of the date of this public hearing;

through Saturdays 7:00 a.m. 8:00 p.m.; closed on Sundays; and 6) The outdoor

2. ,Richard R. Dimmitt (Dimmitt Cadillac) to permit vehicle servicing at 25191 US 19,
Chautauqua-Sec. A, Unit 1, Blk 14, Lots 16 & 17, and Sec. 32-28~16. M&BS 32.08,
& 32.10, Zoned CH (Highway Commercial). CU 95-62
Ms. Glatthorn gave the background of the case and presented, in writing, staff rec-
ommendations. She stated the applicant wishes to expand the dealership service
operation with the addition of a 8,800 square foot body shop. She detailed what
exists on the site, the supplementary standards for a vehicle service operation and
suggestions for compliance. Staff recommended approval with ten conditions.
(;"1.,
"'ff.'!
Harry Cline, attorney representing the applicant, gave an overview of the
dealership operation. He said the beautiful architectural style of the main building has
been featured in the General Motors magazine. The proposal is to build the body shop
hugging the northeast corner so it will not intrude on the operations and visual areas.
He said the proposal has no adverse impacts on the surroundings and detailed the
adjacent uses. A heavily wooded area to the east belongs to Mr. Dimmitt, who
purchased it as a buffer between the business and adjacent residential use.
Mr. Cline agreed with all but three of the suggested conditions. He did not feel
conditions prohibiting inoperable vehicles, restricting types of repair or mandating
orientation of the building were appropriate. He submitted a letter from Richard R.
Dimmitt, indicating traffic flow and future expandability of the business would be
impeded by turning the building in an east-west direction. Mr. Dimmitt suggested, as
an alternative, that he provide either a 30 foot wooded buffer or a landscaped masonry
screen wall along the east side if the adjacent property is ever developed as residential
property.
John Prahl, President of Canco General Contractors, stated he specializes in design
and construction of auto dealerships. He indicated Mr. Dimmitt does not want to do
anything to detract from his very attractive facility or the area. He discussed
setbacks, parking requirements and traffic flow. He said he met with City planners
and with Mr. Dimmitt at length to come up with the best plan.
No one was present to speak in opposition to the request.
Questions were raised regarding construction and easement details. It was
indicated these will be addressed during site plan review. Discussion ensued regarding
conditions for approval.

1) The requisite site plan certification shall be obtained within six months from the date of this
public hearing; 2) The requisite building permit shall bo obtained prior to the start of
construction but no later than six months from the date of certification of a certified site plan

applicant's letter of October 27, 1995 when the residential property to the east is developed,
the applicant agrees to maintain a 30 foot wide wooded buffer or construct a masonry screen
wall with landscaping in accordance with Code requirements, to buffer the residential property
to the east. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
3. R.C. Lawler. Inc/GreQorv Vance Moore/Debra Ann Delemeester (The Kennel Klub Bar
& Grill, Inc) to permit nightclubs, taverns and bars (change of business ownership) and
package sales of beer, wine, and liquor (new license) at 1400 Cleveland St, Knollwood
Replat, Blk 1, Lots 1-4, zoned CG (Commercial General). CU 95M63
Ms. Glatthorn gave the background of the case and presented, in writing, staff
recommendations. She stated the applicant wishes to open the Kennel Club with a 4COP
liquor license in the location of the former Cypress Pub, which had a 2CD? license. It was
noted this location abuts a residential zone and is 185 feet from a church zone in a retail
complex that is rapidly becoming vacant. Ms. Glatthorn explained many of the standards for
approval are not being met. Staff expressed concern with an apparent indifference to the
surrounding community and felt this use could become a nuisance operation due to its
proximity to the residential area. Concerns were expressed with the unsightly dumpster area
and an unpermitted wall sign. It was noted no objections were expressed by the Police, Traffic
or Environmental departments.
Greg Moore, President of the Kennel Klub, stated he grew up in the community and is
concerned with the feelings of his neighbors. He said his family and partners are extremely
proud of their business and support community functions. He said his neighbors are thrilled
that he has cleaned up the property and support the operation, He distributed copies of a
petition with eight signatures in support and a copy of his restaurant menu. He said the
business will attract families as well as an upscale clientele.
Mr. Moore said he has been through the responsible vendor program and plans to send his
employees as well. He indicated he works closely with his landlord and plans to put up a fence
behind the establishment to discourage trespassers. He apologized for the appearance of the
site during his recent remodeling and stated he will work with City sanitation to construct the
required dumpster screening.

Mr. Moore expressed concern with two suggested conditions regarding no live
entertainment and a 10:00 p.m. closing time. He said he wished to have a piano playing
Quietly during dinner and felt it was necessary to remain open until 2:00 a.m. to be
competitive with similar establishments. He said he contracted with his sign company to
take care of obtaining the necessary permits. Staff is checking into that issue. He stated
he and his partners will lose a substantial amount of money if the request is not approved.
He asked for a six month trial period to prove his business.
In response to a question regarding why so much money was spent before receiving
the necessary approvals. Mr. Moore indicated he received approval that was later
discovered to be in error. Ms. Glatthorn clarified that zoning approval was given in error
and the applicants were notified when the mistake was discovered. She stressed the
applicant was told he still needed to go for conditional use approval.
Lengthy discussion ensued regarding hours of operation, number of tables. and the
liquor license.
One person representing the property owner spoke in support of the application. She
said the previous tenant was allowed to stay open until 2:00 and she knew of no reason
the applicant should be restricted to a 10:00 p.m. closing. She said police activity in the
area was associated with a nearby apartment complex, not as a result of operations on the
subject property.

,-:;no
Mr. Moore submitted copies of a petition with eight signatures in support, one within
200 feet.
Four people spoke in opposition to the request, expressing concerns with selling
alcoholic beverages in a 'residential neighborhood in proximity to a school and a church.
While they did not live within 200 feet of the proposal, they were members of the above
referenced church. It was indicated the church has an ongoing problem with indigents
drinking and using the church grounds. It was felt opening another alcoholic tieverage
establishment would encourage more trespassing.
Two letters were submitted in opposition to the application; one from the church and
one from Barbara Baxter dated October 25, 1995. Concern was expressed that Ms.
Baxter, the only resident within 200 feet who signed the petition in support also sent a
letter in vehement opposition to the request. Mr. Moore said he spoke with her yesterday
and she decided to support his proposal when she saw what he was doing to improve the
property.
It was noted no residents within the 200 foot radius. besides Ms. Baxter, expressed
opinions. It was felt the reason was probably because the majority of the residences are
rentals and public hearing notices are only mailed to property owners.

Discussion ensued regarding a six month trial period, the police report of the
previous establishment and the definition of a nuisance activity. Concern was again
expressed with the conflicting statement from Ms. Baxter.
Member Keyes moved to approve CU 95-63 subject to the following conditions: 1)

speakers, including temporary events; 2) The applicant shall provide the personnel
necessary to properly police the parking lot; 3) There shall be no customer accessible

was duly seconded. Members Keyes and Bickerstaffe voted" Aye"; Members Merriam,
Mazur, Nixon, Baron and Kunnen voted ItNay." Motion failed.
'~~
t.:~1'
A question was raised whether the liquor license designation could be changed
from 4COP to 2COP to allow the applicant to serve only beer and wine. Attorney
Dougall-Sides pointed out the license is a State designation and is usually specific to
. the conditional use application. To avoid the applicants having to file a new
application, she suggested the Board consider placing reasonable conditions on use of
the license.
Member Nixon moved to approve CU 9 5~63 for on premise consumption of beer
and wine only, subject to the following conditions: 1) There shall be no package sales,
no serving of hard liquor, no outdoor serving of alcoholic beverages, nor outdoor
seating; 2) The applicant shall provide security personnel to police the parking lot
between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 2:30 a.m.; 3) There shall be no customer
accessible display areas for package sales; 4) The applicant shall relocate and screen
the dumpster in accordance with the requirements of the sanitation division within 30

applicable to this business within 30 days of this public hearing; 6) The door located
on the west side of the building shall be used for a fire exit only, and marked accord-
ingly within 30 days of the date of this public hearing; and 7) This approval shall be for
a six month trial period from the date of issuance of this public hearing after which the
application will be reviewed for compatibility with the surrounding uses of property.
The motion was duly seconded. Members Merriam, Keyes, Mazur, Nixon, Bickerstaffe,

Member Merriam noted a letter was received from the Kapok Pavilion stating they
never received a list of names and addresses of property owners wishing to be notified of
upcoming special events. He also questioned if the Vinyl Museum at Gulf to Bay
Boulevard and Hercules Avenue is in compliance with the sign code. Staff is to forward
this request to the Community Response Team.
Mr. Merriam also referred to a :.memo from Michael Quillen, Environmental
Management, regarding tree concerns related to the Pace Tech Parking lot project. Mr.
Quillen detailed the type and poor condition of the trees to be removed. Member Nixon
requested for this type of detail to be noted on site plans whenever trees are proposed to
be removed. She pointed out it would save lengthy discussion and information requests.
F. Director's Items
Ms. Glatthorn reported that staff researched grand fathering on the Fort Harrison
Dimmitt property, in response to Board questions. She said for many years tenants doing
business on the property were obtaining their occupational licenses under one main
address. As a result, they enjoyed the same grandfathering applied to the main property.
Now, as parcels are split off and leased separately, approvals must be obtained for certain
portions of the operations which no longer fall under the grandfathering. Discussion
ensued regarding how someone can lease a portion of a larger property and still fall under

remain if the Cadillac dealership moved. Ms. Glatthorn responded it could, if it continues
to operate as they are now.
Member Mazur suggested, if a secondary use is approved, the Board should consider a
condition that if the primary use moves out, the secondary use cannot continue. Member
Merriam noted the Development Code Adjustment Board often restricts variance approval
to a specific business. Discussion ensued regarding this issue and other instances were
cited. Ms. DougallMSides noted the Board can add conditions they feel are necessary to
ensure meeting code requirements.

received from staff. Ms. Glatthorn is to investigate.

from commercial propert;es. She specifically referenced the new McDonald's restaurant

questioned if the Planning and Zoning Board's site lighting requirements have been
codified. Ms. Glatthorn responded she would check on the status.
