Summary of the decision
SE-18-07-071 — JOHN SMITH
Request: Special Exception in the A-1 zoning district to allow a yard trash processing facility.
Decision: Approved
Hearing: The applicant would like to expand their existing yard trash processing facility onto this property. The parcel is located in an enclave surrounded by the City of Apopka. Staff outlined the case, went over the site plan, and recommended approval as the use is compatible with the surrounding area. The City of Apopka has objected to the request due to the access and code enforcement issues. The BZA had a discussion regarding the access issue. The applicant stated they had submitted an access easement which has been recorded with the comptroller which gave them access to Hermit Smith Rd. No one spoke in favor or in opposition of the application at the hearing. The BZA found that the access easement was sufficient and satisfied the access issue. The board found that the application met the special exception criteria and approved the case.
