The Ormond Beach Planning Board unanimously recommended approval for a special exception that will allow Lucky's Market to have daily outdoor displays for produce at board's meeting on Thursday, March 14.
Senior Planner Laureen Kornel said outdoor merchandising is considered "essential" to the Lucky's Market brand, and that the company was seeking approval to have four produce bins and a cart corral in front of the store located at 101 E. Granada Blvd, which used to be the former Food Lion building. Lucky's Market is currently redeveloping the site, and projects a spring opening date.
Other stores that have received this special exception include Perrine's Produce, Tropicasual Home and Patio and Ormond Outpost.
Melissa Bradford, Lucky's Market store director, said she and the company were pleased to soon become part of Ormond Beach.
“Everyone that we’ve met in the community has been incredibly welcoming," Bradford said. "It’s really been a joy."
The Planning Board also unanimously recommended approval to remove the Ormond Beach Riverside Church property at 56 N. Beach St. from the city's historic landmark list.
According a city staff report, the Historic Landmark Preservation Board voted 7-1 on February 18, 2018, to remove the property from the list. At that meeting, one board member spoke about the original wooden Ormond Beach Union Church structure, pictured in a 1878 photograph, as one reason why it was put on the list. The current building, which the city bought in May 2018 for $729,000, was constructed in 1976.
Planning Board member G.G. Galloway suggested a historical marker be placed on the property to pay homage to the Union Church, a suggestion that was also discussed by the Historic Landmark Preservation Board.
