Home My WebLink AboutRE Fence Permit 7320 7330 S Federal Hwy/ Misc lettersFrom: Bethany Grubbs Sent: Friday, December 11, 2020 9:09 AM To: Larry Giles Cc: Lydia Galbraith; Linda Pendarvis Subject: RE: Fence Permit 7320/7330 S Federal Hwy Good morning Mr. Giles, Mr. Giles, I have been evaluating the Code with my colleagues to confirm if your proposal to store/display your spa and swimming pool products within a fenced in area would be permitted; however, the findings are that the Code will not permit the proposal. Your site, which is located at 7330 S US Highway 1, is zoned CG (Commercial, General). Pursuant to LDC section 7.10.02. - Outdoor Displays in Commercial Zoning Districts, “In all commercial zoning districts, and except as noted below, all business activities shall be in a completely enclosed structure.” The fence does not meet the intent of the Code as it is not completely enclosed (excluding a roof). If you would like to pursue installation of a completely enclosed building we would strongly encourage a Pre-Application meeting with the Development Review Committee as significant site improvements will be required. A new building would require Site Plan approval. Any nonresidential development is excess of 6,000 s.f. requires site plan approval via the respective application process. As part of the review, the entire site would need to comply with the Code. This includes compliance with the Community Architectural Standards, which does not permit metal buildings. And supplemental site improvements, such as stormwater, landscaping, and paved vehicular use areas/parking. All vehicular use areas must be constructed of all weather surface material meeting the dimensional standards of the Code. The spas can be stored interior to the existing building for display. Unfortunately, this means that the fence permit may not be issued. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Im Phillip’s father, Larry, and I’m handling getting 7320/7330 S Federal Hwy ready to open. I’m having an architect draw up the area for display. We sell pavers, hot tubs, above ground pools, gazebos and Swim Spas. All of these will fall under the category for outdoor display. Larry Giles Master Spas 954-980-1142 Good afternoon Phil, I have some questions regarding your new business. 1. Will you be occupying the entire building? Prior to you, it has been leased as three individual bays and I just need clarification for addressing purposes. 2. Can you provide a plan that show where you are proposing outdoor displays? The plan for the fence permit conflicts with the Code allowance for outdoor displays in the CG Zoning District. I have attached the section for your review. “The display of merchandise at the entry to any retail establishment shall be permitted provided that the merchandise displayed is limited to the width of the business stores frontage; the merchandise displayed is located on the sidewalk immediately adjacent to the stores primary street/parking lot frontage; the display of merchandise does not extend more than ten (10) feet from the wall of the commercial building; that a minimum six-foot wide pedestrian path is to be maintained along the sidewalk in front or, or adjacent to the business; and that the displayed merchandise is not located or placed in any traffic or access aisle, parking space, landscaped area, required fire lane or other emergency access path and does not obstruct any fire hydrant or other fire service connections. “ Please advise, Bethany Grubbs | Planner | Planning and Development Services, Planning Division Ph: 772-462-1687 | 2300 Virginia Ave. Fort Pierce 34982 facebook.com/stluciegov | twitter.com/stluciegov | instagram.com/stluciegov | youtube.com/stluciegov Please Note: Florida has very broad public records laws.
