l050 RE: Request for Parking Variance f o r J o h n Sims Pkwy
To Whom it May Concern
Valparaiso Realty Co. is asking for a parking variance from existing code to 4 parking spaces per thousand square feet for ijf§0Yohn Sims Pkwy. We are making this request in order to accommodate the wishes of Aldi, which is a national grocery store. They have their own internal standard based on actual demonstrated need, and that number is 95 spaces for their store of 20,442 sq.ft. That is approximately 4.65 spaces per thousand. By asking for 4.0 spaces it would allow them a small amount of future flexibility. It has been my experience that national and regional retailers have a far greater understanding of their needs than anyone else. The site next to Publix was given a 4.0/thousand variance and Wal-Mart was given a variance to under 4.0/thousand.
Attached is a proposed site plan as well as a letter from Aldi's engineer.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Patrick E. Byrne

Dear Mr. Jenkins
ISG works for ALDI in providing engineering, site design and permitting services. On behalf of ALDI and the property owner, we are requesting a parking variance for the proposed new ALDI grocery store at 1030 E John Sims Pkwy in Niceville, Florida. The property is a vacant 2.07-acre lot located between Wendy’s (1022 E John Sims Pkwy) and Jim and Nick’s BBQ (1052 E John Sims Pkwy). The following narrative describes the design intent and variance request in detail.
S I T E D E S I G N + V A R I A N C E R E Q U E S T
ALDI is proposing to construct a new 20,442 square foot grocery store. The property owner plans to re-plat the property and realign Marc Smith Boulevard to facilitate the ALDI development. The Concept Plan is provided to illustrate the ALDI site layout, showing access to the site from E John Sims Pkwy and Marc Smith Blvd. The proposed building is in conformance with the use, height, setbacks and landscaping standards of the designated C-2 zoning of the site.
ALDI is requesting a parking reduction variance from the code’s 1/100 SF (excluding the storage area) standard. When applying the Section 8.05.03 (c) from Niceville’s Ordinance, -147 parking spaces would be required. Plowever, ALDI is seeking approval for 95 parking spaces. The proposed 95 parking spaces is consistent with ALDI’s corporate parking standard to meet the parking needs for ALDI stores. This is also more consistent with the Special Exception of 4.5 spaces/1,000 SF that Walmart in Niceville was previously granted per Resolution 08.09.03.
Additionally, it is relevant to note that the County parking standards for this use is 5 spaces/1,000 SF and the nearby City of Destin requires 4 spaces/1,000 SF. ALDI has extensive operational experience of their grocery stores and determines that providing 95 proposed spaces for this location would be sufficient to retain all parking needs on-site. The request for 95 parking spaces would be a 4.8 spaces/1,000 SF ratio, which in consistent with neighboring jurisdictions parking requirements and the City’s Special Exception for the Walmart in the City of Niceville.
V A R I A N C E R E V I E W C R I T E R I A
Below are the variance review criteria from Section 2.15.00 of the City of Niceville Ordinance and a response to each item.
1. Special conditions and circumstances existing which are peculiar to the land, structure or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same zoning district.
115 tost Hickory Street -F Suite 300 a Mankato 11
507.3S7 5651 + ISOIPC Architectu Engine ring + Environmental + Planning This is an infill development project where the site design is limited to the existing vacant parcel between developed parcels. There is no additional area to expand the property to accommodate the parking requirements per the Ordinance.
2. Whether the special conditions and circumstances result from the actions of the applicant.
ALDI is a different grocery model than other grocery stores, where customers are in the store for shorter times and thus parking spaces are occupied for shorter times, leading to the need to less parking than a standard code requirements for this use classification. Also, as previously mentioned, the request parking for ALDI is more in-line with other jurisdictions parking standards and what was permitted for Walmart in Niceville.
3. Whether the granting of the variance request will confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this ordinance or the comprehensive plan to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district.
The granting of a parking reduction variance would still uphold the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and Zone district, providing necessary on-site parking for a permitted use.
4. Whether literal interpretation of the provisions of the ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the ordinance and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant.
Literal interpretation and application of the code’s parking standard would require excessive parking spaces for the store’s parking needs. This would result in unused parking spaces, and increased impervious area. By allowing the parking reduction, unnecessary impervious area can be reduced, decreasing impacts to the City's storm water system and environment.
5. That the variance if granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure.
ALDI has proposed the parking standards that provide the necessary parking for their store model.
6. The grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the ordinance, and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
Through extensive precedent of many ALDI stores around the Country, ALDI has evidence the required parking reduction is adequate to meet its on-site parking needs. The amount of parking spaces proposed would be adequate to retain all parking on-site without causing parking spill over to adjacent properties or the roadway. There will be no negative impact to the adjacent properties.
7. The commission/LPA may determine from the city manager/planner, or designee, that the requirements of the above paragraph have been met by the applicant for variance.
The previous statements show compliance with the intent of the ordinance and no impacts to the health, safety or welfare of the community in granting the requested variance.
Page 2 of 2 952.426.0699 + iSGinc.com 8. General compatibility with adjacent properties and other property in the district.
The proposed development conforms with the designated commercial land use for the site and adjacent sites.
9. Certificate of elevation completed for construction in flood hazard areas.
n/ a
Should the variance be granted, ALDI will proceed with the site plan review and other necessary applications necessary to gain approval for development.
Thank you again for reviewing the variance application and associated materials. Please contact me at 952- 426-0699 with any questions or if there is any additional information we can provide in support of this project. We look forward to working with you and the City of Niceville.

NICEVILLE, FL 32578
SUBJECT: VARIANCE REQUEST
1. The purpose of this correspondence is to request a variance to construct a residential swimming pool at our home at 1246 Elderflower Drive, Niceville. A variance to Niceville City Ordinance # 9.06.04 is required because the proposed pool will not fit within the confines of our backyard and maintain the required six feet from the house structure and the required four feet from the rear property line.
2. My wife and I reside at 1246 Elderflower Drive, Niceville, in the Deer Moss Creek subdivision. We have owned the home for two years and are interested in adding a backyard in-ground, Gunite swimming pool. The proposed pool is to be eight feet by sixteen feet. The contractor is confident that it will fit in our backyard but that we will need a variance from both the house and rear property lines to the water's edge. To fit a pool eight feet wide we would need a variance of two feet from the rear property line and one foot from the house giving us two feet spacing from the rear property line to the water's edge and five feet from the rear of the house to the water's edge. We understand that the twofoot variance would not leave us any roomfor a pool enclosure and that restriction would be deeded, preventing us or any subsequent ownersfrom building an enclosure. Again, we appreciate your quick responses and the additional information. We have included a copy of the survey map,including a sketch of the pool. We believe that as our property backs up to Eglin AFB property (specifically the 293 by-pass right of way property) a pool with the requested set back variances would have no negative impact on the subdivision. We would appreciate any consideration you could give our request and look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.
