The subdivision is located at 2031 National Blvd and includes PINs 99-03-151-023 and 99- 03-151-022. It consists of a two lot subdivision. This Minor Plat was reviewed and recommended for approval at the Planning & Zoning Commission’s August 22, 2017 meeting and Council approved it at their March 26, 2018 meeting. Due to various circumstances, the plat was not recorded within one year of approval as required by city ordinance, which is why they need to go through the approval process again. The purpose of the subdivision is to allow for a developer to consolidate the above mentioned two parcels and then create an outlot near the north west portion of the property for a potential restaurant or retail use. The property is currently zoned General Business (B2) and is surrounded on all sides by B2 zoning. The Development Review Committee members reviewed the Minor Plat at their September 9, 2020 meeting and recommended approval. It is anticipated the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission would then go to City Council at their October 5, 2020 meeting for review. Supporting Documents: 1.

The approved subdivision plat shows the required setback to be 40 feet. The owner is seeking a variance of 11 feet, which would provide a 29 foot setback to construct the porch. Soangetaha Country Club has an architectural committee, which has reviewed and approved the property owners request. See attached letter from their committee. The property is zoned R1A, single family and is surrounded on all four sides with the same zoning.

(1) The Planning and Zoning Commission shall not vary the provisions of this chapter as authorized in this section unless it shall have made affirmative findings based upon the evidence presented to it in each of the following specific cases: (a) That the property in question cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations governing the district in which it is located. Applicants must submit evidence identifying the price paid for the property. Paying more for the property than it is worth, purchasing it at a price which anticipates and obtains variances, or showing that the property would be worth more if a variance is granted is not evidence of lack of a reasonable return; (b) That the situation of the owner is due to unique physical circumstances of the property; and (c) That the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. (2) For the purpose of supplementing the above standards, the Planning and Zoning Commission, in making this determination whenever there are practical difficulties or particular hardships, shall also take into consideration the extent to which the following facts, favorable to the applicant, have been established by the evidence: (a) That the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical conditions of the specific property involved would bring a particular hardship upon the owner as distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulation were to be carried out; (b) That the conditions upon which the petition for variance is based would not be applicable generally to other property within the same zoning classification; (c) That the purpose of the variance is not based exclusively upon a desire to make more money out of the property; (d) That the alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property; (e) That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located; and (f) That the proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantially increase the danger of fire, otherwise endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. (3) The Planning and Zoning Commission may require conditions and restrictions upon the premises benefited by a variance as may be necessary to comply with the standards set forth in this division (C) to reduce or minimize the injurious effect of the variance upon other property in the neighborhood, and to implement the general purpose and intent of this chapter. cc: File Copy Semi n ol e D rPotawatom i RdSeminoleDrSeminole Dr SeminoleDr VARIANCE APPLICATION PETITION/DEVELOPMENT NAME (if applicable): PETITIONER INFORMATION: ~ lc're.~o L . ~eo... l b6~\ f\oeo_·v (.

The application requests a rezoning of the property from B1, Neighborhood Business to B2, General Business. The owner is proposing to open a “Rage Room” business. The B2 zoning district would allow a Commercial Recreational Use as a Permissive use. The attached aerial shows the general location of the lot in question and the existing zoning. To the north, south and east are properties that are zoned as Single Family Residential (R1B), and to the west the property is zoned General Business (B2). The property to the west received a zoning amendment approval from City Council on October 17, 2011 to go from B1 to B2. The purpose of the B2 zoning district is to provide a wide range of businesses and services relying upon the patronage from areas beyond the immediate neighborhood in which they may be located. The Development Review Committee members reviewed the zoning amendment request at their September 9, 2020 meeting and recommended approval of the zoning amendment. It is anticipated the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission would then go to City Council at their October 5th meeting on first reading and October 19th on final reading.

A Look Inside 1Rage Rooms,• Where You De- Stress by Smashing Things As we hurtle towards the impending apocalypse, "rage rooms," which give customers a weapon, a pile of destructible objects, and a time limit, are becoming a global phenomenon. AB By Anna-Cat Brigida November 21, 2016, 1:30pm D -• PHOTO COURTESY OF THE AUTHOR I n a concrete-walled room in Buenos Aires, jumpsuit-clad women and men arrive in pairs, each person armed with a metal baton or wooden bat. They'll spend the next half hour gleefully smashing champagne bottles, a computer, and a keyboard to pieces. At the Break Club, in Buenos Aires, customers pay a flat fee to demolish an assortment of satisfyingly destructible objects. The business, like other so-called "rage rooms," is meant to offer visitors an easy-and entertaining-opportunity for catharsis. Since the opening of the first rage room in Japan in 2008, it's become a global phenomenon, spreading to countries like Australia and ItalY-, as well as throughout the United States. I Read more: The HistorY-of Female Anger Evelyn Botto, 25, who was visiting the Break Club with a male friend, described her experience as "delightful" after emerging from her session; she had chosen Metallica as the soundtrack. "You don't care about society or the bottle, and the music helps too," she said, sounding exhilarated. The anxieties that led Botto to the Break Club are universal: friend drama, work stress, and family problems. But, according to rage room owners, a new stressor is driving people to rage rooms: politics. For many, the 2016 election season was anxiety-provoking. This type of stress was even given a name, Election Stress Disorder. "This year was just crazy for politics. It seems like stress was high," said Russell Chastain, owner of The Smash Shack in Jacksonville, North Carolina, where clients come from all over the state, including from a nearby military base. Leading up to the elections, Chastain provided both Trump and Clinton stickers for breakers to place on plates and bottles as they channeled their anger. . Even in Buenos Aires, a city 5,000 miles south of Washington D.C., rage room customers cite Trump as a source of stress; Botto joked that she might have channeled her anger better if the champagne bottles had been emblazoned with images of the US President-elect. (In Argentina, Trump's approval rating is even lower than it is in America. A study showed that only six percent of Argentines would have voted for Trump, whom Botto referred to as a "globally hated figure.") The Venting Place in Japan started as a response to the country's recession, which put workers on edge. University exams and recent break-ups often drive customers to the Break Club, according to owner Guido Dodero. Others come for fun, on a date, or as a company outing. Studies show that men and women handle stress differently, according to the American PsY-chological Association. Men are more likely to engage in physical activity to relieve stress and women are more likely to seek stress relief from interpersonal relationships. However, according to several rage room operators, the majority of their customers are female. The Smash Shack owner Chastain has his own theory for why more women show up to let loose: Men in Jacksonville- especially those who live at the military base-are more likely to feel comfortable letting off steam aggressively, in the form of activities like martial arts classes, he suggested, whereas "girlfriends and spouses don't have an outlet like that." But there could be something even deeper going on that makes rage rooms particularly liberating for women. A recent studY-shows that women are punished by society when they show their anger. Because rage rooms offer a socially sanctioned, somewhat lighthearted space to aggressively let off steam, they may appeal to female customers, who may feel they can't show outward aggression in other areas of life.

Psychologist Sandra Thomas, who has studied female anger, says that aggressive ways of venting frustration, such as yelling or breaking things, actually generate more anger. Physical activity or calming procedures are healthier ways to reduce stress, she told me in an email. However, expert Ramani Durvasala told How Stuff Works that rage rooms can be a positive outlet for those who generally manage their emotions well. The Break Club's owner, Guido Dodero, reports that some clients are actually sent by their psychiatrists as part of therapy. A session at the Break Club typically lasts from 20 to 30 minutes, but there is no buzzer rushing clients to leave. The time inside is yours to experiment and let loose before deciding you have gotten all the rage out of your system. For Botto, the experience felt subversive-during her session, it took her a few minutes to feel comfortable, but she eventually threw herself into the activity wholeheartedly. "I've never broken a bottle before. I've dropped a bottle or a glass, but to do it on purpose is totally different," she said. "I feel really liberated."
