INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM max. 5.1 r�buE- ` TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: September 22, 1982 FILE: the Board of County Commissioners SUBJECT: Alterations of Welfare Building FROM: REFERENCES: Lynn Williams Acting Gener ervices Director Attached is material originally distributed for the September 15, 1982 meeting of the Board of County Commission. Staff was directed at that time to secure further cost estimates for all necessary requirements which.must be met for zoning and building code compliance. Staff met with Walter Young, City of Vero Beach Planning and Zoning Director, on September 16, 1982 to discuss requirements for additional parking at the Welfare Building. A plot plan of the building site shows insufficient grounds on site to establish additional parking areas. Mr. Young stated normal parking space for office buildings are required one (1) per 100 square feet of building area. This would be the minimum number to show substanial compliance with the Code. If we were to include the Health Department parking area within the Welfare Building site we would be required to up grade the Health Depart- ment parking spaces to meet code requirements as well. In essence the City Planning staff would oppose site plan approval which would be required for a change of use of the Building. Alternative "A" The County could apply for a variance, however it is possible the City's staff position would not change and a delay of six to eight weeks may be required before a variance hearing would be held due to advertising and scheduling requirements. The Board of Adjustments meets the third (3rd) Monday of each month. A request for a variance hearing would be made at one meeting and generally granted for the next months meeting. A site plan drawing must be submitted with the location of the building noted. Mr. Young stated a binding agreement with the VFW for use of their parking area may be considered with our site plan (off- site parking) . A formal request to the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)Board of Directors for an agreement to reserve a portion of their parking area for court use will be required. This agreement must be binding for the duration of the Judges occupancy and may be helpful in securing a variance from the Board of Adjustment. The variance charge would be sixty (60) dollars. 76
