Dr. Sadhwani revitalized <br />this corner property by refurbishing and remodeling the facilities, with a redesign of the site plan, <br />new landscaping, and a change of use to a highly successful wellness center which has been a <br />great enhancement to the area. <br />As you can see from the photograph, the site is bordered on the east by US 1, on the <br />south by 87th Street, and on the west by 501 Avenue. Although 50th Avenue is only a thirty foot <br />right-of-way and functions more like an alley than a true road, according to the County Land <br />Development Regulations, it is considered a street creating frontage for Dr. Sadhwani's building, <br />and therefore it requires a twenty five foot front yard setback. In fact, Dr. Sadhwani's property is <br />inflicted with three "front" yards, which one would think is a geometric impossibility. <br />As a result of the LDR's treatment of 50th Street, Dr. Sadhwani is not able to expand the <br />wellness center to the north unless she modifies her building to meet a twenty five foot setback <br />(the current building only has a fifteen foot setback, but is grandfathered in.) <br />REAL PROPERTY LAW & REAL ESTATE CLOSINGS, PLANNING.
