The <br /> applicant also owns the adjacent lot to the east, Lot 4, Block 1, Avon Acres 4th <br /> Addition. The applicant has indicated that he has plans for future expansion on <br /> these two lots and that this proposed building will be incorporated into those <br /> expansion plans. <br /> Existing Conditions <br /> The property is bordered by residentially zoned property (Ria) to the south and <br /> commercially zoned property (C3) on the east and west. To the north is Highway <br /> 10/169 and the frontage road. The property to the immediate east is vacant and <br /> owned by the applicant; to the east of that is a mini storage facility. The <br /> property to the west contains a storage building that is also used for vehicle <br /> maintenance. The property to the south is vacant. <br /> The site is approximately 1 3/4 acres in size and is long and narrow. It contains <br /> a concrete block building, situated at the front of the lot, which is currently <br /> utilized by the applicant as a showroom for fireplaces and air-conditioning units. <br /> There is a semi-trailer parked on site, adjacent to the northwest corner of the <br /> IIbuilding, that is used for storage. <br /> The front of the site is paved up to the frontage road, to the east and west <br /> property lines and around to the rear of the building. There is no landscaping, <br /> no curb or gutters on the site and the rear of the property is vacant. The <br /> blacktop is cracked with vegetation growing through it. <br /> The front of the site is level to the front of the building.
