That the speCial condillOns awl clrcl/mstances do not result from tlw actions of the applicant. c. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special pnvilege that is denied by this ordinance to other lands. buildll1gs. or structures 111 the same zOning district d. That literal interpretation of the provisions of thiS ordinance would deprive the applicant of nghts commonly enjoyed by other properties 111 the same zoning district under the terms nf the ordinance and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant. e That the variance granted is the mimmum vanance that will make possible the reDson3ble use of the land, building, or structure f. That the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this chapter [ordinance] and that such vanance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare (Exhibit "C" contains the applicant's response to the above critena ) The subject parcel totals 7,350 square feet, which is less than the minimum 7,500 square feet required for a lot platted before 1975 (the lot was platted in 1952). However, the lot is considered a legal non-conforming parcel according to the Land Development Regulations Chapter 2, Section 11.1 (c). This section of the code allows the development of a lot within the R-1-AA zoning district as long as the parcel contains one whole platted lot, the lot cannot be combined to increase the size to a conforming size, and the lot is not less than 6,750 square feet Given that the subject property has been improved with a single-family home, and occupied since 1955, and since most other lots along the north side of Ocean Inlet Drive have similar dimensions to the subject lot, criteria items "a", "d" and "e" are not met. Furthermore, since the property is currently improved, and that the necessity of the variance has been caused by the proposed home expansion, condition "b" above is also not satisfied. GONG LUSION S/REGOM M EN DATION Staff recommends that the subject requests for front and rear variances be denied, due to the lack of traditional hardship, and due to the circumstance being created by simple home improvements on a standard platted lot. No conditions of approval are recommended. I:owever. any conditions of approval added by the Planning and Development Board or Cit,' CommISSI'Jn will be placed in Exhibit "0" Staff should indicate that past variance requests ha',e been re':i2':.ed b:; the cit,. using mc:e than the traditional criteria, or interpretations of this cntena plaCing greater err.ph3slS cn economic potential and characteristics of surrounding properties. For this reason. and to indicate the consequence of denial, staff offers the follOWing Information for consideration Page 3 Gary & Pam Case File No. ZNCV 00-015 1. The redevelopment potential of this neighborhood, as evident by newly constructed and redeveloped homes in the area, tends to encourage similar improvements regardless of lot constraints, 2. The proposed variances would alIO\'1 minimal improvements that yet allow the value of II-,e improvements to more closely match the v31ue of the land as well as the value of other improvements in the neighborhood, 3 The proposed variances would allow phYSical impro'lements that are needed to accomplish certain architectural design goals related to the second-story addition, without negatively impacting adjacent or nearby properties !the front variance would facilitate expansion of the home a minimal distance toward the adjacent street, while the rear setback variance would allow the home to simply encroach toward the Intracoastal Waterway; 4. An adjacent property owner supports the subject request. and no objection from adjacent property owners has been received by st3ff), and 5. If the variances are not granted, the second-story addition would be feasible but with a simpler or recessed entrance, and without a covered rear porch. Shade could be created using portable structures (e,g. umbrellasi or vegetation (e.g. trees) MR/dim J"\SHRDAT A\Planning\SHAREO\'\NP\PROJECTS' Case V2r:J~c:e Z:\CV Fmnt Setb2c.~ oS, AF.::- R::?-fr:::Jnt Y:~,G Se:b~Ck'l dGC ;,;" 2"\ 1'1 -~:y c -'~ A p, ' 5 7~ "" c' ,~ , ~ C-L ::; ~~1 "', ':.< - ~ I .:: J.- .;ow .\. ........= LOCATION MAP GARY & PAM CASE PROPERI -( /""c, I~-/ 1 ? ) ;, .>/ / //f"' \ /.
