The purpose of this variance is to bring these properties into zoning compliance and allow for the demolition of the existing structure and construction of the new Lloyd Alfredo “Sonny” Barnes Bus Terminal. Lot 24B is approximately 2.00 acres with lot 24D measuring approximately 0.9182 acre located on Governor Kenneth E. Mapp Highway in Estate Body Slob. The lots are currently zoned P (Public) and have been occupied by VITRAN as a bus terminal/transfer station. The lots are surrounded by a mix of uses including restaurants, retail shops, fruit and vegetable markets, a police station and gas station to name a few. These lots have access to public utilities including potable water and sewage connections. Our team is proposing a use variance of zoning designation P (Public) which, currently, does not allow for bus terminals. This change will bring this property into zoning compliance and allow the Government of the United States Virgin Islands to better serve the people of St. Croix. We look forward to discussing the merits of this request with you and other members of the 36th Legislature. If you have any questions or comments, please let us know. Respectfully, erek Gabriel Commissioner DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS ST. CROIX 340.773.1290 United States Virgin Islands ST. THOMAS/ST. JOHN 340.776.4844
