APPLICANT'S JUSTIFICATION
The code states that the zoning code variance cannot be approved unless the board finds the
following:
a. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or
building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same
zoning district.
This is a single family home that backs up to a waterway canal, so there is no growth
that can occur towards the rear of the property. The floor plan is only conducive to
expanding towards the front.
b. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant.
This home was built on this property in 1959 and it is a two bedroom home.
c. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is
denied by this ordinance to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district.
Records reflect that there has been no front setback variances requested similar to
this request.
d That literal interpretation of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights
commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the
ordinance and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant.
As the City makes adjustments to more friendly uses of properties by bringing them
closer to streets and sidewalk and creating closer setbacks, this variance request
would support that philosophy.
e. That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of
the land, building, or structure. \
The setback requirements are 25', the request is a variance of 11'. The bedroom
would be 11' in depth which is a reasonable size bedroom.
f. That the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this
chapter [ordinance] and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or
otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
The granting of the variance would only support the City's intent to see families
grow and stay in their current homes. The intent is to grow and stay in Boynton
Beach.

Dear Boynton Isles Neighbors
I would like to add a 3Rt working bedroom to my home at 947 Isles Rd. and need your help to do so. The
city of Boynton Beach has setback requirements that prohibIt me from adding this room without
requesting and being granted a variance.
The setback requirements are 25 feetl I would like to build the bedroom towards the front, on the east
side so that it will match the existing roof lines on the house. As many of you know expanding to the
rear with the canal and pools make it almost Impossible.
The room that I would like to build will be very moderate and just over 10 feet wide on the interior.
I'm requesting an 11 foot variance. If approved my new setback would be 14 feet. Also, like many of
our streets, It Is a dead end with nO sidewalks and there are no facing neighbors. All housesl like mine
face south to the rear of the homes on Castilla lane.
If you are in support of my req':l.~.st, please sign below.. Thanks you very much for your help.
