OLD BUSINESS: None NEW BUSINESS: QUASi~UDICIAL HEARING: A. JACK EROMIN, OF JDC LEASING, INC., in regards to Hurricane Harbor located at 1540 Indian River Drive, Sebastian, FL., is requesting a variance to allow fifteen (15) parking spaces to be jointly used because the hours of operation for the two uses do not overlap. The code, however, requires mixed uses to provide parking spaces equal to the sum of the several uses computed separately. BOARD Of ADJUSTMENT MINUTES Of REGULAR MEETING Of APRIL 4, 2000 No ex parte communications were reported. Mr. Greg Gore, Attorney for Jack Eromin and Hurricane Harbor, was present and gave his presentation on the request for a shared parking variance at the above location. He noted the previous agreement that Mr. Eromin had entered into for a previous passenger boat owner to share parking at this same site in 1996, and also indicated agreement to a proposed agreement for the current boat captain, Christopher Pinson. Mr. Gore, Mr. Pinson, and Jan King were sworn in by the Chairman at 7:12 p.m. Jan King gave staff presentation, noted the age of the building and property at this site, gave a brief history of uses and modifications, and indicated that there is no record of code violations or complaints regarding the parking situation. She indicated that with the shared parking usage of at least two (and possibly three) previous party boats, the restaurant's west dining room was not utilized during boat usage hours. She proceeded to give further information on the change in the Land Development Code relating to shared parking. There were fourteen (14) notices of hearing sent and no objection or non-objection letters were received. Mr. Marshall asked if there is room on the property to add additional parking. Mr. Gore responded that there is not. Chmn. Schmitz opened and closed the public hearing at 6:20, as there were no proponents or opponents. Staff recommended that the Board grant this variance based on the history of the site and the evidence that there have been no violations over the years that the shared parking concept was used at this location. Ms. Kautenburg commented that this variance makes sense from an ecological as well as an economical standpoint. MOTION by Marshall/Beck'with I move to make the motion that the variance for Jack Eromin of JDC Leasing, Inc., in regards to Hurricane Harbor located at 1540 Indian River Drive, Sebastian be approved.
