BACKGROUND
The Fosters Mill Homeowners Association is requesting that the Master Plan for Fosters Mill P.U.D. be
modified to reduce the minimum side and rear yard setbacks for screened roof enclosures and the rear
yard setback for pools, as described within the attached letter of request. More specifically, the request is
to reduce the side yard setback (opposite the zero side) for screened roof enclosures from the current
regulation of ten (10) feet to eight (8) feet, while reducing the rear yard setback of five (5) feet to three
(3) feet. Additionally, the HOA is requesting the reduction in the rear yard setback for pools from from
eight (8) feet to five (5) feet. (see Exhibit "B").
The subject plat is a single-family detached zero lot line residential development, comprised of 98 lots on
23.4 acres. The P.U.D. is located on the north side of Miner Road, between Congress Avenue and
Lawrence Road (see Exhibit "A" - Location Map). All 98 lots are developed.
Typical non-cul-de-sac lots are dimensioned 50 feet in width by 100 to 105 feet in depth. The P.U.D.
contains three (3) cul-de-sacs and some street curvature which creates a variety of pie-shaped lots. The
master plan tabular data indicates the required building setbacks are as follows: 20 feet front yard (15
feet for non-garage face), 10 feet and zero (0) side yard, 15 feet side corner and 15 feet rear yard. The
master plan tabular data also indicates the minimum setback for screened-roof enclosures as follows: 10
feet and zero (0) side yard, 15 feet side corner, and five (5) feet rear yard. (See Exhibit "c" - Master
Plan).
Chapter 2.5/ Planned Unit Development, of the City Land Development Regulations states that changes
in planned unit developments shall be processed through the Planning and Development Board and the
City Commission.
ANALYSIS
The purpose and intent of setbacks is to create separation between units, principally for safety and
maintenance purposes. This is accomplished by allowing buildings and ancillary structures to be setback
a certain distance from the property lines. The master plan shows the minimum setback requirements for
screened roof enclosures. Additionally, the master plan indicates minimum pool setbacks. The side setback
(opposite the zero side) is 10 feet for screened roof enclosures, the identical setback for pools. This has
created conflicts when a pool is installed in compliance with the master plan, and later the owner or
subsequent owner wishes to install an enclosure for the pool. Therefore, the Homeowners Association is
requesting to create different side setback regulations for the two/ that result in a two (2) foot seperation
between the pool edge and the screened roof enclosure. This modification would resolve the conflict
existing on the master plan caused by requiring the same setback for pools and screened roof enclosures,
and as noted in the submittal from the Homeowners Association, would allow the residents more options
in the installation of these improvements. At the same timet the HOA is seeking added flexibility in locating
pools in the back yards by requesting a three(3)foot reduction in the required rear yard setback for pools,
from eight (8) feet to five (5) feet. As a result, the rear setback for screened roof enclosures would be
reduced from five (5) feet to three (3) feet to accommodate the enclosure of a pool.
This request was reviewed for consistency with the P.U.D. development standards in the Land
Development Regulations, Chapter 2.5/ Planned Unit Developments. Also, staff reviewed the subject

Memorandum No PZ-06-104

request by focusing on the subject P.U.D. and comparing it with similar planned residential developments
that exist throughout the city. Many of the planned residential developments have pool setback
requirements that range between 8 and 12 feet for the side yard and screened roof enclosure setback
requirements between 7.5 and 10 feet. A review of the setback regulations in two nearby developments,
Lawrence Grove and Heather Lake (within the Meadows), reveals side yard screened roof enclosure
setbacks of eight (8) feet like that being requested by Fosters Mill. As far as rear setbacks, typical PUD
regulations allow pools to be constructed between 7 and 8 feet from the rear and screened roof enclosures
at (five) 5 feet.
The proposed request is relatively consistent with setbacks in adjacent developments, though allowing a
slightly greater rear yard encroachment. This modification of rear setbacks is however off-set by the fact
that all but eight (8) of the 98 lots within Fosters Mill either back up on the 20 foot perimeter buffer or one
of the lakes. It should be noted that screened roof enclosures are a common amenity within side and / or
rear yards for both planned residential developments and the traditional single family subdivisions, in
particular, when swimming pools are present.
After reviewing the setback regulations within other P.U.D. developments and acknowledging that the
request by Fosters Mill would also conform with certain citywide regulations, and taking into account the
fact that nearly all of the rear yards abut open space, staff believes the request to be reasonable and
would neither be injurious to the area nor detrimental to the public welfare. However, staff would
recommend that the eight (8) lots in which the rear yards do not abut open space, retain the current rear
yard setbacks for pool and screened roof enclosures (Lots 49, 50, 62, 63, 68, 69, 91 & 92).
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Division recommends that this request for Master Plan Modification be considered
non-substantial, and approved subject to the comments included in Exhibit "D" - Conditions of Approval.
Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be documented accordingly
in the Conditions of Approval.

BACKGROUND
The Fosters Mill Homeowners Association is requesting that the Master Plan for Fosters Mill P.U.D. be
modified to reduce the minimum side yard setback for screened roof enclosures, as described within the
attached letter of request. The request is to reduce the side yard setback (opposite the zero side) for
screened roof enclosures from the current regulation of ten (10) feet to eight (8) feet (see Exhibit "B").
The subject plat is a single-family detached zero lot line residential development, comprised of 98 lots on
23.4 acres. The P.U.D. is located on the north side of Miner Road, between Congress Avenue and
Lawrence Road (see Exhibit "A" - Location Map). All 98 lots are developed.
Typical non-cul-de-sac lots are dimensioned 50 feet in width by 100 to 105 feet in depth. The P.U.D.
contains three (3) cul-de-sacs and some street curvature which creates a variety of pie-shaped lots. The
master plan tabular data indicates the required building setbacks are as follows: 20 feet front yard (15
feet for non-garage face), 10 feet and zero (0) side yard, 15 feet side corner and 15 feet rear yard. The
master plan tabular data also indicates the minimum setback for screened-roof enclosures as follows: 10
feet and zero (0) side yard, 15 feet side corner, and five (5) feet rear yard. (See Exhibit "c" - Master
Plan).
Chapter 2.5, Planned Unit Development, of the City Land Development Regulations states that changes
in planned unit developments shall be processed through the Planning and Development Board and the
City Commission.
ANALYSIS
The purpose and intent of setbacks is to create separation between units, principally for safety and
maintenance purposes. This is accomplished by allowing buildings and ancillary structures to be setback
a certain distance from the property lines. The master plan shows the minimum setback requirements for
screened roof enclosures. Additionally, the master plan indicates minimum pool setbacks. The side setback
(opposite the zero side) is 10 feet for screened roof enclosures, the identical setback for pools. This has
created conflicts when a pool is installed in compliance with the master plan, and later the owner or
subsequent owner wishes to install an enclosure for the pool. Therefore, the Homeowners Association is
requesting to create different side setback regulations for the two, that result in a two (2) foot seperation
between the pool edge and the screened roof enclosure. This modification would resolve the conflict
existing on the master plan which allows the same setback for pools and screened roof enclosures, and as
noted in the submittal from the Homeowners Association, would allow the residents more options in the
installation of these improvements.
This request was reviewed for consistency with the P.U.D. development standards in the Land
Development Regulations, Chapter 2.5, Planned Unit Developments. Also, staff reviewed the subject
request by focusing on the subject P.U.D. and comparing it with similar planned residential developments
that exist throughout the city. Many of the planned residential developments have pool setback
requirements that range between 8 and 12 feet for the side yard and screened roof enclosure setback
requirements between 7.5 and 10 feet. A review of the setback regulations in two nearby developments,
Lawrence Grove and Heather Lake (within the Meadows), reveals screened roof enclosure setbacks of
eight (8) feet like that being requested by Fosters Mill. Outside of Planned Unit Developments, the Land
Development Regulations for all other residential districts establish the minimum setbacks for screened

roof enclosures at eight (8) feet, which again is consistent with this request. It should be noted that
screened roof enclosures are a common amenity within side and / or rear yards for both planned
residential developments and the traditional single family subdivisions, in particular, when swimming pools
are present.
After reviewing the setback regulations within other P.U.D. developments and acknowledging that the
request by Fosters Mill would also conform to the citywide regulations, staff believes the request to be
reasonable and would neither be injurious to the area nor detrimental to the public welfare.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Division recommends that this request for Master Plan Modification be considered
non-substantial, and approved subject to the comments included in Exhibit "D" - Conditions of Approval.
Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be documented accordingly
in the Conditions of Approval.
