BACKGROUND~. r:i ~ 0
The subject property, The Isles of Hunters Run PUD, is located at the northwest corner of
Congress Avenue and Summit Drive (see enclosed Exhibit "A" - Location Map and Exhibit
"B" - Survey), The zoning designation of the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development)
with an LUI of 3.9 (Land Use Intensity). The development contains 56 "zero lot lines", and
recreational facilities, The subject lots, 1 through 28 (inclusive), are located along the
western perimeter of the development that abuts the lake and golf course of the Hunters
Run development. The typical size of these lots is 55 feet by 205 feet.
According to submitted plats of the property, all 28 lots contain a 14 feet wide lake
maintenance easement located at the western part of lots.
The following is a description of the zoning districts and land uses of the properties that
surround the subject property:
North -
Recreational area of the Hunters Run PUD
East -
Right-of-way of Westlake Road and farther east, recreational area of
the Hunters Run PUD
South -
Right-of-way of Summit Drive and farther south, golf course of the
Hunters Run PUD
West -
Recreational area of the Hunters Run PUD
ANALYSIS
With the exception of lots within a PUD that border the perimeter of the PUD, the City of
Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2.5 - Planned Unit
Development does not set out any specific setback requirements for properties to be
zoned PUD:
"INTERNAL LOTS AND FRONTAGE. Within the boundaries of the PUD, no minimum lot size or

Staff Report - Board of Zoning Appeals
minimum yards shall be required; provided, however, that PUD frontage on dedicated public roads shall
observe front yard requirements in accordance with the zoning district the PUD use most closely
resembles and that peripheral yards abutting other zoning districts shall be the same as required in the
abutting zone." ,
as the intent of the regulations for planned unit developments is :
"to accomplish the purposes of zoning, subdivision regulations and other applicable city regulations to the
same degree that they are intended to control development on a lot-by-Iot basis, In view of the substantial
public advantages of planned unit development, it is the intent of PUD regulations to promote and
encourage development in this form where tracts suitable in size, location and character for the uses and
structures proposed are to be planned and developed as unified and coordinated units. "
At the time of rezoning of the subject property from C-3 (Community Commercial) to
PUD (Planned Unit Development) in December 1995, the following perimeter setbacks
were established:
. front - 35 feet
. rear - 40 feet
. side (north) - 25 and 20 feet
. side (south) - 10 feet
Simultaneously, the following building setbacks were established for lots in this
development:
. front - 15 feet
. rear - 10 feet
. side - 10 feet and 0 feet (zero lot line)
Since the 15 feet rear yard setback of the subject lots is overridden by the more
restrictive 40 fe~t rear perimeter setback of the entire PUD, no structure can be
constructed closer than 40 feet from the rear property line. If the subject variance is
granted, as requested (see Exhibit "c" - Application), the structures can be erected at
the distance of 20 feet from the rear property line (see Exhibit "0" - Site Plan).
According to the petitioner's statement (see Exhibit "E" - Statement of Special
Conditions), the property abuts a lake and golf course that eliminates need for the 40
feet rear yard setback of the 28 westernmost lots in Isles of Hunters Run PUD.
Furthermore, the closest residential development, Windsor at Hunters Run is further
than 470 feet away from the subject lots that further reduces the need for a rear yard
separation of 40 feet.
The summary of facts is as follows:
1. The property is zoned PUD with the following established rear setbacks:
-perimeter setback is 40 feet; and
-building setback is 10 feet.
2. The requested 20 feet rear setback is double that provided for the rest of the lots
in the PUD.
3, The rear yards of the subject 28 lots do not abut homes. They abut a lake and
golf course.
4. The closest residential use is 470 feet away from the subject 28 lots.

5. The rear yard setbacks of these 28 lots cannot be reduced any further due to the
14 feet lake maintenance easement existing along the western edge of the
proper,ty.
