REVIEW COMMENTS G. NEW PETITIONS CASE # 216 ROBERT SIMONE PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM # 96-059 Staff Report Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting: February 12, 1996 Petition: Case No. 216 Location: 111 S.E. 23rd Avenue also described as Lot 57 in Crestview Subdivision, Plat Book 23, Page 154. Owner: Robert Simone Variance Request: The applicant is requesting reduction of the side yard setback for an accessory structure from thirty (30) feet to five (5) feet and the rear yard setback from twenty (20) feet to fifteen (15) feet. BACKGROUND The subject property is located at the northwest corner of S.E. 23rd Avenue and S.E. 1st Street (see Exhibit A - Location Map) . The applicant, Dr. Robert Simone - property owner, is requesting the zoning variance to allow construction of an accessory structure - a shed, 8 feet by 12 feet in size and 7 feet in height. The applicant intends to locate this utility structure in the side yard of the property (see Exhibit B - Site Plan). This structure would be erected in connection with Doctor Simone's office operation to house shutters, recycling bins, chemicals, maintenance tools and materials. The proposed setbacks are as follows: side yard (north) rear yard (west) 5 feet 15 feet In the Statement of Special Conditions (see Exhibit C, - Applicant Reasons for Requesting the Variance), the applicant indicates that: Due to the lot size and existing office building location on the site no expansion is feasible to the north of the property. For the same reason the shed cannot be constructed in the rear yard of the property. In addition, the rear yard contains utility lines, the. location of which would interfere with the proposed construction. Due to the high visibility of this corner lot the applicant does not want to construct an accessory structure in the front yard (east of the existing office building), or in the south side yard (south of the building fronting S.E. 23rd Avenue) . The following is a description of the zoning districts and land uses of the properties that surround the subject request (see Exhibit "A" - Location Map) : East Undeveloped lot zoned R-2 (Single and Two Family Dwelling) Right-of-way of S.E. 1st Street and farther east a medical office zoned C-2 (Neighborhood Commercial) North South Right-of-way of S.E. 23rd Street and farther south medical offices and residences, zoned C-1 I Page 2 Memorandum No. Robert Simone, Staff Report - 96-059 Case No. 216 Board of Zoning Appeals West Undeveloped lot zoned C-1 (Office and Professional Commercial District) ANALYSIS The zoning classification for this property is C-1 which allows medical and dental offices and clinics. However, as stated in Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 6.A.3, the setback requirements for any structure to be erected in the C-1 zoning districts are as follows: minimum front yard minimum side yard minimum rear yard 30 feet 10 feet* 20 feet* *when abutting residential district, side and/or rear yard shall be thirty (30) feet. The subject property is abutting the R-2 zoning district to the north and therefore, the thirty-foot setback has to be applied to the north side yard. The buildable area of the property is indicated in Exhibit "D" - Buildable Area. Since, according to the amended site plan - Exhibit B, the applicant is proposing construction of the utility shed five (5) feet from the northern side lot line and (15) fifteen feet from the rear lot line, both dimensions will violate the City's setback regulations. Find attached, Exhibit "E", the Applicant's Request for Variance, Exhibit "F", Survey and Exhibit "C" the Applicant's Reasons for Requesting the Variance. The summary of facts is as follows: 1. The property is located within the R-2 zoning district. 2. The Land Development Code requires the following setbacks for the subject property: minimum side yard minimum rear yard 30 feet 20 feet 3. The applicant is proposing construction of a shed building with the following setbacks: side yard rear yard 5 feet 15 feet 4. The buildable area of the lot is limited by the lot size, location of the office building, high visibility of the property (corner lot), and the depth of the rear yard additionally reduced by the utility lines located there. NOTE: On January 31, 1996, The Planning and Zoning Department staff met with the applicant and discussed the necessity to apply for two zoning variances: reduction in both the side yard and the rear yard setback requirements. After the meeting, the applicant amended his site plan by moving the proposed shed building five (5) feet to the east, see Amended Site plan - Exhibit "G11, thus eliminating the necessity to apply for a zoning variance for the rear yard requirement. Therefore, the amended request is for a zoning variance to allow construction of an accessory structure, an eight (8) feet by twelve (12) feet shed building, with a reduced side yard setback from thirty (30) feet to five (5) feet. 2-- Page 3 Memorandum No. 96-059 Robert Simone, Case No. 216 Staff Report - Board of Zoning Appeals For the Board members information, as stated in Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 4.B.2, in all residential districts: "... detached storage structures of any type construction not exceeding one hundred (100) square feet in floor area and seven (7) feet in height may be erected to a line and/or at least three (3) feet from the rear property line providing no easement rights are abridged."

(407) 737-1080 Pediatric and Adult Allergy 111 S.E. 23rd Avenue Boymon Beach, Florida 33435 December 20, 1995 STATEMENT OF SPECIAL CONDITION: It has become necessary for me to erect a utility shed on my office property at 111 S.E. 23rd Ave. for the storage of storm shutters, recycle bins, chemicals and general maintenance tools and materials. The property on my north boundary is zoned residential. Because of this, this existing zoning code would restrict construction of a utility shed to within 9 feet to the rear of the existing offic building or to the lawn area just east of the existing parking lot. Construction to the rear of the building would not be feasable due to existing power lines, electric meter, phone service, air- conditioning, sprinkler lines and pump, sewer cleanout and water supply. Construction of a shed in the grassy area to the east of the parking area would be inappropriate. It has taken many years for this street to slowly evolve into an area of professional buildings with generally well maintained properties. A shed highly visible from S.E. 23rd Ave. and S.E. 1st Street would constitute an eyesore to this developing area. 9 .,.. I (.) ::R N .. ~'loc. ~~ . \:'i ~ r,' -( '"7'3 r .,.. I (.)
