B). From the requirement that Outdoor seating shall not be located between a building line and a residential bufferyard to allow for outdoor seating between the south building line and the south residential bufferyard. The site as designed would have an outdoor seating area at the southeast comer of the building where the Deli will be located. This would place the outdoor seating between the south building line and the south property line. The seating will be approximately 190 feet from the south property line and will be screened from the properties to the south by evergreen trees -and shrubs as well as existing vegetation. The Petitioners do not believe approval of this variance should not have a negative impact on adjacent properties. Q. From the maximum height of thirty-six (36) inches in height for a fence located in a minimum front yard to six (6) feet in height for a fence along Hollywood Boulevard. The Petitioners plan to add ornamental fencing along the perimeter of the site along Hollywood Boulevard which will limit access to the proposed driveway opening. The Petitioners will also be using evergreen screening and existing vegetation to visually buffer the proposed building from the existing homes on the west side of Hollywood Boulevard. Approval of this variance should not have an adverse impact on surrounding properties. D). From the required screening of trash containers to none. The Petitioners are planning to have trash compactor units to reduce the volume of trash removed from the site. These units are incorporated into the design of the building layout. These units and any smaller trash containers would be placed against the west wall of the building. The Petitioners plan to screen the entire view of the building from the west by evergreen trees and fencing which will create a dense visual buffer from Hollywood Boulevard. Approval of this variance should not have a negative impact on adjacent properties. E). From the requirement that trash containers not be located between the front fagade of the primary building and the front lot line to allowing trash containers between the west fagade of the primary building and the front (west) lot line. With the layout of the building oriented towards Mayflower Road and the main parking area of the facility located on the east side of the site, the placement of the loading area and trash containers /compactors will be on the west side of the building. This site has frontage on three roads. This makes placement of the trash containers difficult not to be located between the front fagade of the building (west wall) and the street. As stated, the Petitioners plan to have a dense buffer of evergreen trees and fencing along this portion of the property which will screen the trash containers from the Hollywood Boulevard. Approval of this variance should not have an adverse impact on surrounding properties. F). From the required "bail out" lane for drive through facilities to none. The drive -up window proposed on the south side of the building is strictly for coffee pick up for patrons. As this is a single menu item, the need for a bail -out lane is not required. The Petitioners do not believe approval of this variance should have a negative impact on any surrounding property. G). From the required landscaping of required perimeter yards and residential bufferyards to landscaping as shown on the site plan. The Petitioners worked with the Area Plan Commission staff to determine the amount of flexibility that could be done in the placement of perimeter landscaping on the project site to still meet the intent of the zoning ordinance. The site will have landscaping as shown which will have trees and shrubs in several locations that will help soften the project edge where it abuts streets and residential properties. Approval of this variance should not have an adverse impact on surrounding properties. H). From the required Foundation Landscaping to landscaping as shown on the site plan. The Grocery Store facility will have a few places where some landscaping can be placed, but for the most part this use does not work well with typical foundation landscaping that is used more with office development and other limited commercial uses. The Petitioners do not believe approval of this variance should have a negative impact on any surrounding property. I). From the required Off -Street Parking Area Screening to none on the east, west, or south parking areas. The Petitioners have worked with the staff to place landscaping where needed to visually break up the view for parking areas on the site. In some places the parking is set back far enough, where any impact from the
