SEPTEMBER 20, 1993
Case 1184
652 and 654 Manor Drive
Property Owner:.. 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.

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.
