Easements
Max,
In response to your request of 10/21/02 for confirmation regarding allowable use(s) within utility
easements I can offer the following
o The LOR, Chapter 7 5, Article I, Section 18.1 give public utilities the authority to remove any trees
that interfere with utility services, either in utility easements or public rights-of-way.
o The Utilities Engineering Design Handbook & Construction Standards, Chapter 1, Article I,
Section E.2 states that "Easements should allow unhindered access to all Department facilities
and mains"
I also spoke with Pete Mazzella, Assistant Director, Utilities, who tells me that he is unaware of any
specific written prohibition in the Code or LOR regarding construction within an easement. He went on to
say that it is only common sense that construction of a structure within a right-of-way is a direct conflict
and that Utilities has never allowed it. As you also know they are selective about the vegetative matter
that is allowed in utility easements.
I hope this was of help Please let me know if you have any additional questions

Subject:
Zoning and Permlttmg ReqUIrements - CIty of Boynton Beach
Fookes Shed Vanance - 3220 Canal Dnve, Boynton Beach
To busmess owner or manager:
The CIty of Boynton Beach recently processed a variance request for a shed wlthm our
municIpal limits at 3220 Canal Dnve. This vanance was necessItated due to a storage shed
bemg placed within the mlmmum sIde and rear yard setbacks. If the shed was 7 feet hIgh or
less, and 100 square feet or less, the setbacks are only 3 feet as long as no easements are
encroached. However, the shed, we understand to have been purchased from thIS source, was
erected at 8 Y2 feet m heIght thereby subJectmg it to the full structure setbacks of 25 feet rear
and 10 sIde, and was placed withm an easement.
The City was mformed that the seller of thIS shed had informed the buyers, Mr. and Mrs.
Fookes, that a permit would not be reqUIred. Had a permIt been sought, the applIcable size
limitatIOns and setback reqUIrements as mdicated in the CIty'S zonmg regulatIOns would have
been realIzed pnor to the structure bemg erected. Although the detaIls of your
commumcatIOn with the buyer is Irrelevant at thIS time, I feel It is necessary to mform you of
the CIty'S permlttmg and zoning reqUIrements.
Per Flonda BUIlding Code 2001, all bUIldings and structures shall meet the 140 mph wmd
load requirement. Our wmd zone per Chapter 15 IS 140 mph (SectIOn 553.73 (8.H) Flonda
Statutes), and specIfically reads "Storage sheds that are not desIgned for human habItatIOn and
that have a floor area of 720 sq. ft. or less are only exempt from bemg reqUIred to comply
with the mandatory wmd-bome-debns-Impact Standards of the Flonda Buildmg Code".
Please note that Section (8.H) does not exempt sheds from permlttmg reqUIrements. ThIS
sectIon only states that wmdows and doors need not be prOVIded WIth shutters or other
humcane deVIces.
WIth respect to local zoning regulatIOns, you may VIew them at the city's web SIte at
http://www.boynton-beach.org/ (pull down "NewsIPublIcations" and select "Ordmances"). I
realize that you cannot be expected to understand the many dIfferent zomng regulatIOns

enforced throughout your sales area; however, I hope that you always encourage your buyers
to 1) first check for applIcable local zomng regulatIOns and 2) assume a permIt IS reqUIred
untIl confirmed otherwIse by the respectIve local mumclpal offiCIal. I commend you If such
commumcatIOns are conveyed by your sales team.
Please contact me should you have any questIOns or need further clanficatIOn.

Dear Maxima,
Attached is the last page of the Variance ApPlication, which is now signed.
We need to know the date that we are to met,1 before the board and if there is any other
information that we will need to bring with us.
Under the information that you had filled in rE"arding the Regulation Chapter, you
indicated that this is a Tool Shed. It also com,lins Personal Storage Items. Please note
the file that this Shed was at a cost of $1800:;0 it is not shabby looking. And that we do
not have a garage or attic space to put any Sll ,rage items in. We certainly can not put
the lawn equipment and tools inside the resich mce.
Thank you in advance for all of your help on lllis.
Anna Fookes
