TAMMANY PARISH BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT STAFF ANALYSIS REPORT Case File Number: Initial Hearing Date: 2uid Hearing Date: Date of Report: BOA Case No BOA 07/03/ 2018 (Postponed) 08/07/ /27/2018 GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant(s) Name: CarMax Auto Superstores, Inc Location of Property: Hwy 190 Service Road, Covington Zoning of Property: HC-3 Highway Commercial Zoning District Variance(s) Requested: increase the maximum allowable luminaire foot candle in the parking lot OVERVIEW The applicant is seeking a variance to increase the maximum allowable luminaire footcandle in the parking lot and storage area for the car lot. Applicant is requesting to use the maximum footcandle calculation associated with an active storage yard versus a retail storage yard (see below chart). The increase in footcandle is being requested in order to provide adequate lighting at night, to allow for the customers to properly assess the purchase of a vehicle. Storage Yard Maximum Footcandle Active 20 Retail Outdoor Lighting 10 STAFF COMMENTS Staff is not in favor of the requested variance since no hardship or practical difficulty is being demonstrated. Granting this variance request could establish, in what the staff believes, a precedent allowing other existing or future car lot to seek the same variance. Note that It has been determined that the lighting regulation for retail outdoor storage yard applies to car lots and that the regulation for active storage yard applies to industrial yards, operating at night and needing lighting to comply with OSHA standards.

10 L.. SHERMAN ~ srr~ecnesl~c St. Tammany Parish Department of Planning Board of Adjustments Koop Drive, Building B Mandeville, LA june 2018 RE: Carmax in Covington Lighting Standards for the Site Dear Board Members: We cannot thank the Parish enough for working with Carmax on this site and development one that will create jobs, bring positive development, and spark taxes for the Parish. The Parish has been a great partner throughout the due diligence process for this site and we genuinely appreciate working in a pro~business parish. Specifically, the Planning Department team has been beyond helpful from the very beginning. As we button up the permitting set to present to the Parish, we have run across one matter where we think there may be a gap in the law but certainly where more clarity is needed. This relates to exterior lighting for the project, specifically for the spaces where cars are stored and displayed as a part of the Carmax model. The potential gap is in that luminaire footcandle maximums are established within Section (D) of the Unified Development Code (UDC), however not every outdoor use or form is fully contemplated therein. Here, Carmax s use is closest to a storage yard, but the subsections within are not as clear. They are active, inactive, and retail outdoor lighting. The Planning Department has determined that the light standard applicable to Carmax is retail outdoor lighting. Under an alternative reading of the UDC, we very respectfully assert that it is considered an active storage yard for reasons more fully described below. It is important to note that the proposed lighting plan represents minimum industry standards for lighting for vehicle dealers based on the lighting required for a customer to properly assess a vehicle. Customers cannot make informed decisions without adequate lighting at night. Knowing this but given the UDC s limitations, the lighting plan specific to this store was reduced from a prototypical plan to meet the maximum of 20 footcandles. This amended plan is the bare minimum dealers can get by with, as determined by industry standards. Given all of the above, this is an application for an Appeal Request and/or in the alternative an application for a Variance of this luminaire footcandle standard. ~peal Reg~c~ As presented in the attached legal memo, we believe that under a black and white reading and strict interpretation of the UDC, Carmax s use of the outdoor area for storage of vehicles is closest to active storage yard as opposed to retail outdoor lighting. This is buttressed by the fact that outdoor retail sales and storage yards is specifically defined in the UDC as, a facility for the sales of home, lawn, and garden supplies, brick, lumber and other similar building material, use in St. Tammany Parish Unified Development Code, Section Luminaire Design Requirements, subsection (d).

11 L. SHERMAN ~ S TE~l~ conjunction with a honie improvement center, a hardware store or a department store a use which is clearly not parallel to Carmax s use. For these reasons, we believe the active storage yard maximum footcandle should apply. Variance For relief from Section (D) Luminaire Footcandles Maximum of 10 for Retail Outdoor ~ig un, Storag~ Yard If this honorable Board finds that Carmax is in fact a retail outdoor lighting storage yard, then we respectfully request a variance from the very low footcandle maximum of 10 for this type of use. Board Powers and considerations in Grantin~ a Varirnce/A~eaii 1. Is the variance/appeal request self-imposed? The need for sufficient lighting at the site is not self-imposed. We respectfully assert that the maximum footcandle that is sufficient for an exterior retail portion of a home improvement center, hardware store, or department store is not sufficient for this type of use the storage and sales of vehicles. The scale is drastically different for this use, creating a mismatch in the UDC and the contemplated use one that speaks to safety, security, and overall function. For this reason, we respectfully assert that this variance/appeal is not self-imposed. 2. Does this variance/appeal request constitute a financial hardship? This is not a request based on financial hardship. The number of cars shown or sold is not correlated with the lighting required for a functional and safe vehicle storage yard. Rather, this is a request based in practical hardship and need for a well-functioning site for employees and guests. 3. Does the variance/appeal request present a practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship? Stunting the lighting for this site needlessly creates a practical difficulty and unnecessary hardship. Here, the site is in a high intensity commercial zoning category, reserved for heavy commercial retail uses such as here. The lighting restriction does not provide a practical protection for any known causes but rather creates an unnecessary hardship for the Carmax in terms of running a safe and well functioning business model in this location. 4. Does the variance/appeal request impose an adverse effect on the adjacent neighbors property or surrounding neighborhood? The next-door neighbor for this site, a Toyota dealership, utilizes lighting that is far stronger than that proposed by Carmax. This shows that this lighting level is not only acceptable but works well for this use and in this location. Restricting the lighting to that used for a hardware store or siiiar use is an unnecessary hardship. Further, there are no other immediate neighbors whom would be adversely affected by allowing this variance and a greater lighting standard. 5. Will the granting of the variance/appeal request constitute establishing a precedent?

12 L~ SHERMAN ~ ST Z~TEGlES There is little to no precedent created here and certainly no negative precedent. Here, the site is a high intensity commercial zone on a large sized site with a large-scale use storing and selling cars. Carmax maintains and prides itself on a first-class business operation one that is safe and well run but by its very nature, this use requires a large-scale operation. Here, allowing lighting that is appropriate for this context should arguably be encouraged, and certainly does not create a negative precedent. We thank you for your consideration of this request for an appeal and in the alternative a variance of this lighting maximum restriction. We remain available to provide additional information as needed. Sincerely, Sherman Strategies, LLC On behalf of Carmax Auto Superstores, Inc. Attathments: 1) Sherman Strate~ies Legal Memo C~armax St. Tammaiiy Parlrh Lz~gh/in~g,~ and 2) correspondence/emai/sfrom Plannind Department determinin2 that the use is considered Retail Outdoor Li~ghtin~ under the Unjfied Development Code, speq/ical/y Section 7.03.

13 t~i SHERMAN STRATEGIES TO: RE: Carmax Auto Superstores Carmax St. Tammany Parish - Lighting Thank you again for the opportunity to work on this site in Covington, Louisiana. The purpose of this memo is to address the question of outdoor lighting intensity permitted for the sales lot on this development. Applicable here, there are only three (3) sub-categories of storage yards in the St. Tammany Parish Unified Development Code, with designated luminaire food candles: active, inactive, and retail outdoor lighting In Louisiana, When a law is clear and unambiguous and its application does not lead to absurd consequences, the law shall be applied as written and no further interpretation may be made in search of the intent of the legislature. 2 Of the three sub-categories of storage yards. only one is explicitly, clearly and unambiguously defined as required in the above-cited Civil Code article: Onidoor retail sales and storage yards... a facility for the sales of home, lawn, and garden supplies, brick, lumber and other similar building material, use in conjunction with a home improvement center, a hardware store or a department store. ~ This definition for outdoor retail sales and storage yards is clearly not a fit for the intended use by Carmax, which is to store vehicles for sale. And therefore, this sub-category is eliminated. This leaves two options active or inactive. Given the level of movement at a Carmax, including and especially on the sales lot, this storage space cannot logically be considered inactive. And therefore, this sub-category is eliminated. Given all of the above, the storage yard lot at this Carmax should be considered an Active~~ge Yard under any interpretation of the Unified Development Code. Please keep in mind that a zoning determination letter issued from St. Tammany Parish is the only legal mechanism to confirm the information in this memo. This memo contains the legal thoughts and determinations in applying the law, however cannot be relied upon in whole to confirm the maximum foot-candle allowances without municipal confim1ation. We remain available to discuss at your convenience. St. Tammany Parish Unified Development Code. Section Luminaire Design Requirements. subsection (d). 2 La. Civ.

15 ST. TAMMANY PARISH BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT STAFF ANALYSIS REPORT Case File Number: BOA Case No BOA Initial Hearing Date: 08/07/2018 Date of Report: 07/27/2018 Applicant(s) Name: Location of Property: Zoning of Property: Variance(s) Requested: GENERAL INFORMATION Charles Gettys 305 Black Jack Oak Drive, Madisonville, Louisiana A-3 Suburban Zoning District reduce the required rear yard setback from 25 feet to 10.5 feet. OVERVIEW Requested Variance: The applicant is seeking a variance to reduce the required rear yard setback from 25 feet (required under A-3 Suburban District) to 10.5 feet. The request is to allow for the construction of a 13.4 feet X 25.5 feet breezeway to connect the existing accessory building to the residence. STAFF COMMENTS Considering that the width of the breezeway exceeds 10 feet in width, the construction of the breezeway would make the accessory structure part of the main residence, which triggers the request for a variance to reduce the minimum rear setback of 25 feet to 10.5 feet. Definition of Breezeway: means a covered walkway open on at least two sides from the eaves of the roof to the ground, connecting a main structure with an accessory structure on the same building site. A breezeway less than ten feet in width will not be sufficient connection for two distinct spaces to be considered a single structure. The covering must be greater than ten feet in width or be connected by a fully enclosed structure with access to both spaces in order for the two spaces to be considered a single structure. As stated in the attached narrative, the reason for the request is to allow for a uniform replacement of the existing roof with similar material and connect the existing residence and accessory structure with a breezeway. Staff is not in favor of this request since this seems to be purely a matter of convenience and preference and not a hardship or practical difficulty.

TAMMANY PARISH BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT STAFF ANALYSIS REPORT Case File Number: BOA Case No BOA Initial Hearing Date: 08/07/20 17 Date of Report: 07/27/2018 GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant(s) Name: Representatives: Location of Property: Zoning of Property: Variance(s) Requested: Circle K. Stores [NC/Randy Homes Reagan Majoria & Kevin Talabock 500 US N. Highway 190, Covington, Louisiana. HC-3 Highway Commercial District reduce the required 20 foot greenspace to 8.2 feet, along US Highway 190 and to 10 feet along Hollycrest Blvd. OVERVIEW The applicant is seeking a variance to reduce the required 20 foot greenspace to 10 feet, along Hollycrest Blvd, and to reduce the required 20 foot greenspace to 8.2 feet, along US Highway 190. The greenspace variances are being requested in order to restore an existing commercial site, currently developed with a gas station and canopy, with a carwash and parking spaces for pre scrubs, detailing and vacuum of vehicles. STAFF COMMENTS Request to reduce the required 20 foot greenspace to 10 feet along Hollycrest Blvd to allow for 11 pre-scrub parking spaces and also to allow for sufficient stack up of cars waiting to enter the carwash. Request to reduce a portion of the rec~uired 20 foot greenspace to a maximum of 8.2 feet, to allow for large vehicles to safely exit the carwash and to allow sufficient space for all vehicles to be completely off the conveyor after exiting the carwash. No hardship or practical difficulties are being demonstrated in regards to requested variances, considering that the size of the carwash and the number of pre-scrubs and vacuum parking spaces could be reduced to meet the minimum greenspace requirements. However, staff is in not completely opposed to the requests, considering that the proposed development and greenspace areas will definitely contribute to the improvement of the appearance of the site and to the North Hwy 190 Corridor. Moreover, the attached plan shows that the site will be in full compliance with the landscape ordinance, in regards to the required number of trees and shrubs. Also, as shown on the attached drawing, the number of existing access to the site is proposed to be reduced from 2 driveways to 1 driveway, along Hwy 190.

26 Dear Mrs. Lambert: Thank you for meeting with me on Wednesday to discuss the hardship issues we are facing to construct a new location at 500 N Hwy 190 Covington La. There are two points of significant importance that we need at this location to keep the traffic flow smooth, as well as safe for the volume of vehicles that visit our facility daily. First, the ten feet variance we are asking for along Hollycrest Dr. is to angle park the 11 pre- scrub lanes for smooth turn in and back out from the driveway. The number of useable spots in this area is needed, due to the fact that this is a part of the express wash concept that is vital to our customers especially in the southeast with bugs just about all year round. To parallel park these lanes would cut the number in half resulting in traffic backing up onto Hwy 190 just as it does at Chick Fil A on the same Hwy. Also we cannot tighten the vacuum area curb to curb do to the fact that this measurement is minimal to back out two cars back to back safely in this area. Right now the curb and concrete go to the property line with no setback of green space. We would be adding 10 feet that isn t currently there now and creating a beautiful corner full of landscape. Second, we need 12 feet of a curvature along side of N Hwy 190 directly In front of the exit of the wash to allow vehicles a smooth and safe turn into the vacuum area or exit. We would not be able to cut back the vacuum lanes and make the left turn shorter as we discussed in our meeting, because the conveyor ends at the edge of the building and the vehicle needs to be completely off of the conveyor before it can make that left turn. Several vehicles such as Heavy Duty crew cab trucks that exceed 22 feet in length, as well as Limos that go past 33 feet would not be able to make this turn without this small curvature. We also discussed moving the building back to accommodate this, and that would create another problem. We need the stacking space on plan in the rear of the building so that we can get the vehicle completely straight after making a left turn to get onto the conveyor correctly. Right now, the way that the property sits as Circle K, the concrete along Hollycrest Dr. is directly on the property line with no set back. Also, there are two 35 foot wide curb cuts onto Hwy 190, We would close the north side exit completely and approx 15 feet wide of concrete currently running along Hwy 190 and landscape the entire area excluding the small area needed for the curvature. Mrs. Lambert if you need any further information from me, you can reach me at or Kevin@tropiccarwash.com. Thank you, Kevin Talabock

30 ST. TAMMANY PARISH BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT STAFF ANALYSIS REPORT Case File Number: BOA Case No BOA Initial Hearing Date: 08/07/2017 Date of Report: 07/27/2018 GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant(s) Name: SATNOH LLC. Representatives: Jeffrey D. Schoen Location of Property: Highway 21, Covington, Louisiana Zoning of Property: HC-2 Highway Commercial District Variance(s) Requested: reduce the required setback for a monument sign and a waiver of the required sight triangle. OVERVIEW The applicant is seeking a variance to reduce the required setback for a monument sign, from 5 feet to 17 inches, and a waiver of the required 15 feet X 25 feet sight triangle (see attached illustration). STAFF COMMENTS The variances are being requested to allow for the placement of a monument sign on the property, within the remaining portion of the front greenspace. After road work expansion took place along Hwy 21, the site was left with a greenspace area of less than 10 in depth. Request to reduce the required setback from 5 feet to 17 inches (1.5 feet), to allow for the placement of the sign, at the entrance to the site. Waiver of the required sight triangle to allow for the placement of a monument sign, as shown on the attached plan. Note that Sight triangle: means the triangular-shaped portion of land established at either side of an accessway or public right-of-way intersections in which nothing is erected, placed, planted or allowed to grow in such a manner as to limit or obstruct the sight of motorists along the intersection with sides of a specific length each along the public right-of-way and/or accessway (see attached drawing). Staff does not object to the request to reduce the required setback, considering the limited depth of the existing greenspace. There is also, no objection to the request to waive the required sight triangle, considering that the proposed location of the sign will not obstruct the view of the drivers entering or exiting the site, due to the depth of the existing State right of way (approximately 40 in depth). Note that, although it may be possible to meet the sight triangle and setback requirement, by placing the sign within a parking island or within the northwest corner of the greenspace area, it would significantly reduce the visibility of the sign from the traffic travelling north or south on Hwy2l.
