O n e s i d e o f t h e n e w p a r k i n g g a r a g e "encroaches" six inches on the city's right of way. That is because the site of an adjoin- ing garage was not surveyed accurately; that structure juts six inches into the city lot where the new garage will be built. The design is tight because the lot is very narrow, and every inch counts. The DRC waived that problem away. The first floor of the structure will be sold and built to the new owner's specifications. Thus, the city does not know what will go there. Each possible use — retail, residen- tial, commercial, restaurant — has different requirements. "What about waste collection?" asked Bill Swick with the Utilities Department. "If it's retail, it's this much. If it's residential, it's less. If it's all a restaurant, it's a lot more," replied Jon Kalaf with the designer-builder, A.D. Morgan. "Use the worst scenario," said Swick. "That would be prohibitive," responded Kalaf. "There won't be enough space in the alley." Chief Planner Steve Stancel is managing the project for the city. He suggested all the ten- ants could share receptacles and work out the expenses later. "You can share the dumpster, and have it picked up more frequently," said Stancel, "and share the recycling, too." "Is there a grease trap? Where is it?" asked Swick. "It's on the plans but not the construction plans because we don't know if there will be a restaurant there," said Kalaf. In fact, there is a lot the city staff does not know about the building. Not only will the Drawings show plans for the ground level of the State Street garage and the 'liner' building. Image courtesy City of Sarasota Sarasota News Leader March 21, 2014 Page 56
