COMMON OAK ENGINEERING, LLC
1209 EDGEWATER DRIVE, SUITE 100
ORLANDO, FL 32804
Location Exhibit
A new air conditioned 3-
story self storage building
with projecting facades and
varying heights and
materials.
•Vehicular access into the
interior of the building for
loading.
•Secured and covered R/V and
boat storage bays.
•Preserved and enhanced
landscaping with offsteet
parking, sidewalks with
pedestrian access to the
building and roadway, public
utilities and a stormwater
treatment and management
facility.
Site Plan
•Shared driveway access is
proposed to Indrio Crossings,
and a second driveway is
proposed to Miramar Ave.
•Driveway access to Turnpike
Feeder Rd is restricted by FDOT.
•Due to the recent roadway
work for Turnpike Feeder Rd,
the existing intersection
between Miramar Ave and
Turnpike Feeder Road has been
restricted to right-in and right-
out.
Site Plan
Variance Request
•A variance to allow a driveway with
left turn movements to located less
than 350 feet from the Turnpike
Feeder Road parallel building line
•A variance to allow the edge of a
driveway less than twenty-five feet
from the side property line.
Staff report
Variance is unique to the land criteria:
•Staff report:
•The variance does not entirely arise
from conditions that are unique to the
land.
•LDC conflict is created by the actions of
the property owner.
•Additional access to the property is
being provided to the south.
Important
Considerations
•The property frontage along Miramar Ave is not long enough to meet the 350 foot driveway setback.
•Projected trips to Miramar Ave is only 72 average per day, and only 6 left turns movements are anticipated.
•Turnpike Feeder Rd intersection is restricted to right-in and right-out, which reduces the number significantly.
•The proposed Miramar Ave driveway is important for the customers that live immediately to the north and northeast.
Road Map Exhibit
•Staff report: the requested Miramar Ave
driveway promotes access off a lower
classification roadway.
•Staff Report: typically, driveway access is
would be recommended to the lower
classification side road.
•Staff report: the proposed secondary
access point allows for increased traffic
distribution rates and increased clearing
times by sending approximately 71 daily
trips to the proposed Miramar Ave
driveway.
•Staff report: the proposed shared access
promotes synergy and directs trips off
the higher classification roadway.
Conclusion
•Staff report: the approval of this request
will have no negative impact on property
values, and the project has been found to
be compatible with surrounding properties.
•The proposed secondary driveway access
promotes positive traffic distribution and
thereby better operations for the higher
classification roadway (Turnpike Feeder Rd).
•The shared access connection with Indrio
Crossings provides cross access to adjacent
commercial properties and directs trips to
important planned driveway access points.
Thank you!
