RE: 2514 S.W. 12th Street, Boynton Beach, FL;
Code Variance Application
Responses to Section 4:
A. There are special conditions and circumstances regarding the subject land that
are unique to other lands in the same zoning district. Specifically, the subject
property is located adjacent to a lake depicted as "Lazy Lake" on the Plat of Golf
View Harbour 2nd Section. The Plat indicates that a "berm" approximately 10 feet
in width surrounds the lake, but is not owned by each homeowner. Rather, it is
our understanding that the 'berm" is owned by the City of Boynton Beach. It is
our further understanding that the City has not maintained nor utilized the "berm"
property. We have maintained the property since purchasing the residence and
our predecessors in interest did the same.
The "berm" area behind our home extends in one area approximately 16.5 feet
between the seawall to our property line and approximately 14.5 feet at the other
end. It is highly unlikely that the City would need access on the "berm", but the
variance requested would not hinder same in case it was necessary.
B. The foregoing conditions were not created by the applicant. Rather, such
conditions were created when the land was platted in the 1960's.
C. Because the "berm" property has not been maintained or utilized by the City for
any purpose. we do not believe that any special privilege would be granted to us.
D. Literal interpretation of the code would deprive us of rights commonly enjoyed by
other properties in this zoning district. We are attempting to install a pool in our
backyard. as some of our neighbors already have. We have a limited amount of
space behind the house and are therefore requesting a variance for the setback
of our proposed pool and patio.
E. The variance we are requesting is. in our opinion, the minimum variance that will
allow us to reasonably use our property for the intended purposes.
F. The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the neighborhood. Other
homes in the neighborhood have pools in similar locations. Our immediate
neighbors have no objections to the installation of the pool and patio.
