CASE # 4 REQUEST I~OR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO EXPAND AN OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL FACILITY IN THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT ~ By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background:~ Ty Ritter of KRIS Investments has purchased theoutdoor recreational facility formerly known as Cheap Thrills. ~he facility is located on Lot 2, Block 1, HY-10 Ramsey, just west of the Brooks store on ArmstrOng Blvd. Observations: The subject property is located in the Industrial District and Mr. Ritter is proposing to expand the recreational facility by the addition of batting cages. Thc use is in the Industrial District because of a conditional Use permit issued by the City in t988 and the conditional use permit process is required in orde/' to expand or enlarge upon the use. There is sufficient area remaining on the property to install batting cages without encroaching on required off-street parking. The former property owners defaulted on the requirement to pave 69 off-street parking spaces and KRS Investments is willing to fulfill that commitment. Mr. Ritter originally prop6sed a 2-phase project which consisted of paving 25 parking spaces in 1994 and 44 spaces in 1995.[ This proposal for off-street parking improvements was accepted by the Planning Commission. However, subsequent to the Planning Commission meeting, the investors have indicated that because of the ~apital outlay projected for other landscaping and property improvements slated for 1994, they are t, equest/ng that all paving be allowed for installation by October 30, 1995 and that the number of iequired parking spaces be reduced from 69 to 30. This October 30, 1995 date is the deadline prpposed for the 2nd phase of off-street parking improvements under the ori~nal proposal. The/.equest for a reduction in the nunber of required parking spaces is based on the fact that the previo6s owner proposed 69 parking spaces in order to accommodate the roller skating rink that was al~o intended to be developed on the site. A financial gu~antee ensuring the improvements to the off-street parking area will be required to be deposited ~ith the City prior to the issuance of the conditional use permit. The financial guarantee will!remain in effect until the off-street parking improvements are installed to the satisfaction of the City. For the record, ~ere were no verbal or written comments submit-ted at the public hearing conducted by the Planning Commission on April 5.
