Barbara Bradshaw Request: The applicant is requesting approval to allow a lot with an area of 8,376.50 square feet be developed for a two- unit duplex. Section 5 G.2.1 and 5 F.2. specifies that a minimum lot area of 4,500 square feet is required per dwelling unit. A total area of 9,000 square feet is required to develop a lot for a two dwelling unit duplex use. Ms. Houston read the applicant's response to the IIStatement of Special Conditions for the Variancell. Additionally, Ms. Houston read a letter from Mrs. J. Willard Pipes which supported the granting of the variance. Barbara Bradshaw, 658 Manor Drive, produced a letter from Molly Crane, a map depicting the location of the property, and a petition in support of the variance containing fourteen signatures of the surrounding property owners. At the applicant's request, Ms. Houston read the letter of support from Molly Crane. Ms. Bradshaw reported that this Board has approved sixteen (16) such variance requests over the last eight (8) years. In March, 1993, a variance was approved for two lots which were 7,500 square feet to allow duplexes to be built. That square footage was a great deal smaller than this request. The surrounding properties include the following: West: One-story retirement development (Rustic Retreat) This is an HRS center. The owner has purchased the two houses at the end of the street (the house adjacent to the, lot and the one on the south side of the street). Those two single-family homes have been incorporated into the HRS center. . Single-story duplex. This duplex is owned by Sandra O'Connell. Ms. O'Connell has signed the petition. Ms. Bradshaw stated she also abuts a duplex owned by James Barnes who was granted a variance in Case #88 to build a triplex on an 11,000 square foot lot. Ms. Bradshaw requested the Board be as fair and equitable to her as they have been to her neighbors in the surrounding area. North: In response to Ms. Solomon's question, Ms. Bradshaw advised that there are other apartment buildings on her street. The street is a road easement access which she owns and maintains. The road dead ends into a small cul-de-sac. There are apartments to the east, a duplex and triplex to the north, a nursing home to the west, and two single-family homes and a duplex to the south. - 5 - MINUTES - BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 20, 1993 Vice Chainman Uleck requested clarification on the square footage issue. Ms. Bradshaw confinmed that each side is 940 square feet. The required square footage in that zoning is 750 square feet per unit. This will be 250 square feet larger per unit. In response to Vice Chainman Uleck's question regarding parking, Gary Cummins, builder for the applicant, responded that all City requirements for parking have been met. Further, no variance is requested for setbacks either. This request for a variance is presented because the applicant lacks a small amount of square footage. Mr. Miriana noted that the applicant is only lacking 624 square feet of the 9,000 square feet required, and he feels the granting of this variance will improve the community because this lot has been used as a dumping ground. Lloyd Powell. agent for Alpine Seven. 1112 North Federal Highway. supports this request for a variance. At the present time, this is a vacant lot. When the variance is granted, the duplex will bring in tax dollars and do away with the vacant land. This area of the City has not been maintained very well in recent years, but this applicant has done a good job in maintaining and upgrading the area. He urged support of the variance. THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE PRESENT WHO WISHED TO SPEAK ON THIS APPLICATION. Motion Mr. Miriana moved that we grant the variance for the reduction of the lot size to 8,376.5 square feet from the required 9,000 square feet. Ms. Houston seconded the motion. The Recording Secretary polled the vote. Ms. Houston Ms. Solomon Mr. Ii neri Mr. Uleck Mr. Miriana Mr. Sechter Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes The vote was 6-0 to GRANT the variance. E.
