[1. PVZVAR 2023-07 524 Ponte Vedra Blvd Variance. Request for a Zoning Variance to Section VIII.D & L.1. of the Ponte Vedra Zoning District Regulations to allow for a detached garage to exceed the platted Building Restriction Line.]

>> THANK YOU. >> ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTINGS TODAY ON ANY OTHER TOPIC THAN THE SCHEDULED AGENDA ITEMS? SEE SEEING NONE, LET'S MOVE ON TO THE FIRST SCHEDULED AGENDA ITEM.

THAT IS PVZ VARIANCE 2023-07524 PONTE VEDRA BOULEVARD.

AND THE PRESENTER IS ADAM SMYTHERS.

DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ADAM. WHO ARE YOU? ALL RIGHT. I'M SORRY.

I WILL ASK THE BOARD TO REPORT AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY TALKED TO ANYBODY ABOUT THIS AGENDA ITEM OR VISITED THE SITE.

>> I HAVE DRIVEN BY THE PROPERTY BUT I HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO

ANYONE. >> SAME HERE, VISITED THE SITE

BUT HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO ANYONE. >> I VISITED THE SITE, DID NOT

SPEAK TO ANYONE. >> I VISITED THE SITE YESTERDAY,

DID NOT SPEAK WITH ANYONE. >> ALL RIGHT I GOOD AFTERNOON.

MY NAME IS BETH MOORE, I'M WITH SEW TALL AND INGRAM LAW FIRM, LOCATED AT 1617 SAN MARCO BOULEVARD IN JACKSONVILLE AND WITH ME TODAY IS ADAM SMITHERS AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TODAY IN SERVING THIS BOARD.

>> OUR REQUEST TODAY IS SEEKING A 14-FOOT VARIANCE FROM THE 65-FOOT BUILDING RESTRICTION LINE WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY A 99-FOOT SETBACK AS I WILL LATER EXPLAIN.

IN ORDER FOR THE HOME OWNER TO BUILD A DETACHED GARAGE.

NOW, TO ORIENT OURSELVES AS TO THE LOCATION, THE PROPERTY IS PRETRIAL 1.2 MILES SOUTH OF THE PONTE VEDRA CLUB, ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF PONTE VEDRA BOULEVARD BETWEEN SO LANA ROAD AND CORONA ROAD. YOU CAN SEE IT IN THAT BLUE OUTLINE ON THE LEFT PICTURE T. AND HERE'S A CLOSER IN AERIAL OF THE PROPERTY. IT'S APPROXIMATELY .69-ACRE LOT. THE HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1958, A TRADITIONAL L SHAPED HOUSE WITH A TWO CAR ATTACHED GARAGE.

THE HOMEOWNERS PURCHASED IT IN 2012 AND THE LOCATION AND IT'S UNDERGOING RENOVATIONS, IF YOU DROVE PAST YOU PROBABLY SAW IN ORDER FOR IT TO BETTER SUIT THEIR NEEDS.

SPECIFICALLY THEY ARE SEEKING TO BILL A TWO CAR DETACHED GARAGE FOR SEVERAL REASONS. FIRST THE FAMILY OZ TWO KIDS ONE OF WHOM JUST TURNED 16 SO THEY HAVE AN ADDITIONAL DRIVER SO HAVING THE EXTRA SPACE WOULD BE HELPFUL, AND SECOND ONE OF THE HOMEOWNERS SERVED AS A RESERVE POLICE OFFICER WITH THE JACKVILLE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND HE WAS APPOINT TO THE POSITION OF SWAT MEDIC, WHICH I LEARNED MORE ABOUT, SO SEXUALITY MEDIC SWAD MET I THINK IS A POSITION WHERE THEY HAVE PARAMEDIC TRAINING SO THEY ARE CALLED IT O ON HIGH RISK CALLS TO SERVE AMERICA SUPPORT HURRICANE SEASON , SO BECAUSE RESPONSE TIME IS SEW IMPORTANT THE HOMEOWNER KEEPS HIS READY GEAR SECURE IN HIS VEHICLE BUT THAT MEANS THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE KEPT SECURELY AND SAFELY IN A GARAGE, SO THE DETACHED GARAGE WILL HELP THE HOMEOWNER BETTER SERVE THE COMMUNITY AS A FIRST RESPONDERS BY BEING ABLE TO RESPOND MORE QUICKLY THAN HE MIGHT OTHERWISE. AND JUST STEPPING BACK HOW WE GOT HERE THIS IS THE ORIGINAL PLAT FROM 19 SIFT IT'S 56 AND ZOOMING IN THE LOT THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TODAY IS LOT FOUR AND THERE IS A BE GLAD TOED BUILDING RESTRICTION NINE OF 65 FEET. BUT THEN MORE RECENTLY THE PONTE

[00:10:03]

VEDRA ZONING DISTRICT REGULATIONS STIPULATE THAT RECESS DENTAL LOTS BETWEEN MIRANDA ROAD AND CORONA ROAD ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF PONTE VEDRA BOULEVARD WHICH IS THIS IS ONE OF THOSE, ANY FRONT YARD SOCIETYBACK HAS TO BE MEASURED FROM THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE VACATED 34-FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY SO THAT'S 65-FOOT SETBACK IS NOW ESSENTIALLY 99 FEET X. THIS SURVEY OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURES SHOWS THE BUILDING RESTRICTION LINE, THERE THAT DOTTED LINE IN BLUE AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THE HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1958 BEFORE THE ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS WENT IN PLACE, AND SO THE EXISTING STRUCTURE IS ALREADY NINE FEET OVER THE CURRENT EXISTING BUILDING RESTRICTION LINE. AND THIS IS WHAT WE ARE HERE TODAY TO TALK ABOUT, THE PHOTO T OILIEST SEWS THE PROPOSED DETACHED GARAGE. IT'S A TWO CAR DETACHED GARAGE WITH CONDITIONED SPACE ABOVE SO THERE WILL BE ROOM FOR A HALF BATH AND A HOME OFFICE. AND IT EXTENDS 14 FEET BEYOND THE BUILD RESTRICTION LINE BUT IT'S ONLY FIVE FEET BEYOND THE EXISTING STRUCTURE. AS YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IN THE CLOSER DEPICTION ON THE RIGHT. SO THIS L SHAPED HOUSE NOW BECOMES MORE OF A U SHAPE WHICH IS VERY COMMON ON PONTE VEDRA BOULEVARD AND WHAT'S ALSO COMMON IS THAT THERE ARE A RAIN OF DISTANCES. SOME HOUSES ARE BUILT A LITTLE CLOSER, SOME STRUCTURES A LITTLE FURTHER AWAY WHETHER IT'S BECAUSE THEY WERE BUILT BEFORE THE THE REGULATIONS WENT IN PLACE OR DELAY THEY GOT VARIANCES IT'S CERTAINLY A KIND OF RANGE CAN THE NEIGHBORS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE SLIGHTLY CLOSER STRUCTURES. SO I THINK HAVING THIS U SHAPE AND IT ONLY BEING ABOUT FIVE FEET IN FRONT OF WHERE THE EXISTING STRUCTURE ENDS CERTAINLY FITS WITHIN THE CHARACTER OF THE AREA AND THE THAT YOU NEED.

SO THIS SHOWS WHAT THE PLANS, THE TOP IS THE FRONT ELEVATION.

THEY'RE DOING A NEW FEATURED ENTRYWAY WITH A PEGULA AND ON THE LEFT WAS THE DETACHED GARAGE WILL LIKE.

SO CERTAINLY FITS I THINK WITHIN THE A LOT OF THE BUILDINGS AND THE AREA. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER DEPICTION AND IT SHOWS KIND OF HOW CLOSE THE STRUCTURES ARE IN TERMS OF THE DISTANCE. CAN THEN ANOTHER KIND OF QUESTION MIGHT BE, WELL CAN I IT GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, MAYBE THE BACKYARD BUT THE BACKYARD DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF SPACE AND THERE ARE SOME PROTECTED TREES THAT THE HOMEOWNER WANTS TO PRESERVE TO THE BEST EXTENT POSSIBLE SO I HAVE A FEW PICTURES SHOWING WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

THIS IS LOOKING INTO THE BACKYARD WITH THAT BIG TREE THERE AND THERE IS ALSO A BUILD RESTRICTION LINE IN BACK.

SO THEY'RE TRYING TO PRESERVE THAT.

THE POOL IS UNDERGOING SOME RENOVATION AS YOU CAN SEE AND THAT'S THAT TREE THAT WOULD BE IN THE WAY IF THE GARAGE WERE MOVED SOMEWHERE ELSE FROM THE FRONT INTO THE BACK.

ALL THE NEIGHBORS RECEIVED THE PROPER NOTICE, AND NO ONE EXPRESSED ANY CONCERN. WE DO HAVE A LETTERS IN SUPPORT WHICH WERE SUBMITTED. THE NEIGHBORS OP ON BOTH SIDES AND THE ONE ACROSS THE STREET SUPPORT THIS APPLICATION.

SO IN SUMMARY, WE'RE REQUESTING A 14-FOOT VARIANCE FROM THE 99-FOOT SETBACK, THE WAY THAT THE LOT IS CONFIGURED THE ONLY PLACE THAT A TWO CAR DETACHED GARAGE COULD GO IS IN THE FRONT. IT WOULD ON THE EXTEND ABORTIVE FEET BEYOND EXISTING STRUCTURE. IN KEEPING WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, OTHER HOUSES AND IT WOULD ALLOW THE FAMILY TO BETTER SUIT THEIR NEEDS INCLUDING THE HOMEOWNER WHO WOULD BE BETTER BE ABLE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY AS A SWAT METIC.

SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

>> ONE QUESTION, I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY OF THOSE LETTERS IN MY PACKET. DO YOU HAVE COPES OF THEM?

>> I DO. I APOLOGIZE, I PRINTED THEM OFF THIS MORNING AND I DON'T BELIEVE THEY MADE IT TO THE RED FOLDERS -- OR FOLDERS THAT WE HAND OUT AS A --

>> [INDISCERNIBLE]. >> SURE.

[00:15:14]

CAN WE ZOOM IN A LITTLE

>> [INDISCERNIBLE] SOL. .

>> IF I MAY, CAN WE GET THOSE FOR THE RECORD?

>> SURE. >> DO YOU HAVE COPIES YOURSELF

OR THOSE ORIGINALS? >> [INDISCERNIBLE].

>> RICH; DO YOU HAVE, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE

APPLICANT? >> YES I DO.

SO I WAS TRYING TO QUICK FOLLOW ALL THE SLIDES YOU PUT UP THERE. IT'S A TWO GARAGE DOOR GARAGE? IN OTHER WORDS FOR TWO SEPARATE GARAGE SPOTS?

>> IT WILL BE A SINGLE DOUBLE DOOR.

>> IT IS SINGLE DOUBLE. OKAY.

AND DID YOU SAY THERE IS OTHER SPACE IN THERE THAN CAR

PARKING? >> THE SECOND FLOOR WILL BE A CONDITIONED SPACE, IT WILL HAVE A SMALL HALF BATH AND -- AND

SOME JUST OFFICE SPACE. >> OKAY, THAT WILL BE ON THE

SECOND FLOOR? >> YES.

>> OKAY. AND THEN THE ACCESS TO THE HOME, THEY CAN COME OUT AND GO THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR?

>> YES. >> IS THAT HOW OLD HOW IT WOULD

WORK? >> YES.

>> I'M ASSUMING THAT CORNER IS LIKE A BEDROOM, THAT IT HAS --

>> YOU'RE CORRECT, YEAH. SO -- YES.

SO THIS IS A BEDROOM AND THERE ARE EXISTING WINDOWS RIGHT

THERE. >> AND THEN I ALWAYS LOOK TO SEE IF PEOPLE HAVE BACKUP -- HAVE YOU LOOKED AT A ONE CAR GARAGE?

>> MY NAME IS ADAM SMITHERS. WITH THE OFFICE ABOVE A ONE CAR GRADUAL NOT BE BIG ENOUGH FOR HIM TO HAVE HIS OFFICE ABOVE THERE. AND HIS OFFICE IS RELATED TO

THIS HIGH PROFILE POSITION? >> YES, IT WILL BE HIS OFFICE,

HIS HOME OFFICE. >> I SEE.

>> YEAH, HE DOES, I BELIEVE, HAVE THE ABILITY TO WORK FROM HOME SEVERAL DAYS A WEEK SO THAT'S WHAT THAT WOULD BE.

>> THAT'S CORRECT. >> THANK YOU.

>> JOHN? >> YEAH.

THE BUILDING LOOK TO BE ABOUT 30 FEET BY 27 FEET FOOTPRINT?

>> 29 BY 26. >> OKAY.

29 BY 26. AND ALSO LOOKING AT THE OVERHEAD PICTURES OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE HOUSE AT 522 AND THE HOUSE AT 526 LOOK TO BE QUESTION FOR STAFF OR WHOMEVER ALL APPEAR TO BE FARTHER FORWARD THAN YOU'RE PROPOSING.

>> THAT'S CORRECT. >> AND IF YOU GO SOUTH OF THERE THERE ARE A COUPLE HOUSES THAT ARE A LOT CLOSER AND THE HOUSE AT 522 AND 526 APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN RENOVATED RECENTLY WITHIN THE LAST 20 YEARS. DO WE KNOW IF THAT'S A FACT OR DID THEY GET A VARIANCE FOR THAT?

>> DURING MY RESEARCH FOR THIS PROJECT I DIDN'T FIND ANY VARIANCES FOR THOSE PROJECTS. ALSO WHEN LOOKING -- SOME OF THE BUILD DATES WERE AT LEAST I KNOW FOR INSTANCE, 522, APPEARS THAT HOME WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT IN 1962, SO SOME OF THOSE BUILDINGS MAY PRECEDE WHEN THE PONTE VEDRA ZONING DISTRICT REGULATIONS CAME

INTO EFFECT. >> JOHN, JUST TO GIVE SOME INFORMATION ON THAT, 522 AND 532, 532 WAS BUILT IN 1959 AND 522 WAS BUILT THE 1962. THE PONTE VEDRA ZONING DISTRICT WAS CREATED IN 1965. THOSE TWO HOUSE PARENT THE

[00:20:04]

CREATION OF THE ZONING DISTRICT.

THE COUNTY BUILDING DEPARTMENT STARTED IN 1978.

AND 1995 THE [INDISCERNIBLE] WAS FORMED SO THE HOUSE AT 526 WHICH IS TO THE SOUTH WAS BUILT IN 1994, PRIOR TO THE PZA SO WE HAVE TWO HOUSES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WERE BUILT IN THE ERA OF THE [INDISCERNIBLE] FUNCTIONAL BODY.

528, THEN 530. AND I DID NOT LOOK AT THE CONSTRUCTION FOR EITHER OF THOSE TWO, BUT I KNOW 528 STARTED OFF

[INDISCERNIBLE]. >> OKAY.

THANK YOU. >> JOHN TOUCHED ON MY QUESTIONS. I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

>> MY ONLY ONLY QUESTION IS [INDISCERNIBLE].

DO YOU LOOK AT GOING 29 FEET [INDISCERNIBLE].

WE HAVE A SITUATION WHERE AN AVERAGE VEHICLE [INDISCERNIBLE] NEED TO HAVE ALL 29 FEET [INDISCERNIBLE].

>> I DON'T SEE IT BEING ANY MORE, LIKE, THE WAY IT'S SHRINKING AND BEING ABLE TO FIT TWO CARS IN THERE IF THAT'S WHAT

YOU'RE ASKING. >> THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING.

>> LIKE YOU SAID A CAR IS SEVEN FEET AND THEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE ROOM TO OPEN THE DOORS SO 29 IS PRETTY -- THAT'S ABOUT WHERE YOU WANT TO BE TO BE ABLE TO FIT TWO CARS.

>> WHAT SIZE IS THE GARAGE DOOR?

>> I BELIEVE IT'S 18. >> A LITTLE BIGGER THAN NORMAL.

>> YEAH. >> ALL RIGHT.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO CONSIDER IN GRANTING A VARIANCE IS IF THIS PROPERTY OWNER HAS A HARDSHIP AND I DIDN'T HEAR YOU SPEAK TO WHAT HARDSHIP THIS PROPERTY OWNER

HAS. >> I THINK THE CONFIGURATION OF THE LOT THAT THERE'S NOT REALLY ANY OTHER PLACE TO YOU KNOW; INCLUDE THIS DETACHED GARAGE, MAKES IT SOMEWHAT UNIQUE SITUATION, AND THERE'S ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF LOTS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THE SETBACK SO IT MAY GO MAKES IT A UNIQUE

SITUATION WHERE -- >> JUST FOR POINT OF INFORMATION, NOT TOO LONG AGO WE HAD CHANGED THE ZONING REGULATIONS TO CLARIFY FOR THIS PARTICULAR AREA.

THOSE SET BACKS AND TO AFFIRM THAT SO I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT THING FOR YOU TO KNOW.

THE OTHER THING IS THAT I KNOW THIS HOUSE, THE RENOVATION PROCESS STARTED OFF WITH BUILDING THE POOL IN THE BACKYARD FIRST, SO THEY COULD HAVE PUT A GARAGE IN THE BACKYARD FOR THESE CARS. AND ORIENTED THE POOL IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. SO THE QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT THEY TRIED TO HAVE A SELF IMPOSED HARDSHIP BY THE LOCATION OF THE POOL. AND WE RECENTLY DID HAVE A SITUATION SIMILAR TO THIS WHERE THE PUBLIC HAD A POOL IN THE BACKYARD AND WANTED TO HAVE A VARIANCE IN THE FRONT YARD FOR A GARAGE AND THAT WAS DEEMED TO BE A HARDSHIP BY THIS BOARD AND ALSO WASN'T DEEMED TO BE A HARDSHIP BY THE COMMISSIONER, SO I'M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING MORE WOMAN COMPEL COME COMPELLING IN TERMS OF THE HARDSHIP. YOU COULD PUT IT IN THE BACKYARD AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REORIENTED -- YOU WOULD HAVE AN EXIT FROM THE FRONT YARD BY THE EXISTING THE GARAGE, SO IS THAT WOULD ADD ADDITIONAL TIME [INDISCERNIBLE] SURE.

AND I APPRECIATE THAT. I SYMPATHY PUTTING IT IN THE BACKYARD WOULD JUST MATERIALLY CHANGE THE ENTIRE KIND OF FEEL OF THE HOUSE, THE ABILITY TO ENJOY IT BECAUSE THERE ARE BEAUTIFUL TREES IN THE BACK THAT THEY WANTEDDED TO PRESERVE AND I THINK THAT'S WHY THE POOL IS ORIENTED THE WAY THAT IT IS IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THAT VIEW SCAPE AND I THINK THE NATURAL

[00:25:04]

PLACE INSTEAD OF HAVING YOUR TEENAGE CHILD DRIVE THROUGH THE SIDE -- ACING LONG THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE THEY WANTED TO PUT THE GARAGE UP FRONT SO THAT IT'S EASIER ACCESS FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY. AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS -- AND I DO BELIEVE THE POOL WASN'T PART OF THIS PARTICULAR RENOVATION, I THINK IT WAS SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

>> THAT'S RIGHT. THEY PUT IT IN AS SOON AS IS

THAT I MOVED IN BASICALLY. >> AND THIS IS A FAMILY WHO'S LIVED THERE FOR OVER TEN YEARS. THEY LOVE THE AREA AND ARE JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE USEFUL, SO I THINK THE SMALL NUMBER OF LOTS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THIS REALLY LARGE SETBACK, I THINK THAT PEEK SPEAKS TO THE HARDSHIP.

THERE'S FEWER FEET WHERE YOU CAN PUT THINGS BASED ON THE LOCATION WHEN YOU HAVE SUCH A LARGE SETBACK, ESPECIALLY GIVEN A NUMBER OF OTHER HOUSES IN THE AREA YOU KNOW SUBJECTED TO IT, A NUMBER OF OTHER HOUSES HAVE SIMILAR TYPES OF STRUCTURES THAT ARE OH THAT LINE AS WELL. I THINKIVELY SPEAK TO THE

ISSUE. >> MADAM CHAIRMAN, HOW HAS THE BOARD HISTORICALLY LOOKED AT ISSUES LIKE THIS WHERE AN OLDER HOME IMPEDES INTO THE SETBACK THAT CAME LATER IN FACT? SO THIS IS THIS IS FIVE-FOOT -- SEEMS TO BE ABOUT FIVE FEET WHERE THE CURRENT GARAGE EXCEEDS THE CURRENT SETBACK.

HOW HAS THE BOARD LOOKED AT THOSE WHEN ANOTHER VARIANCE IS BEING APPLIED, WHEN ONE PART OF THE HOUSE ALREADY IMPEDES THE CURRENT SETBACK, HOW HAS THE BOARD LOOKED AT THOSE?

>> WELL, THE MOST RECENT ONE WAS THE SOLAST NAME SO LANO ROAD HOME. ONE LOT WAS QUORUMMING AND THE OTHER WAS NOT COP CONFORMING, AND THERE WAS A [INDISCERNIBLE] THE . . .

>> SO EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE PART OF THIS EXISTING STRUCTURE IS INSIDE OR ODD OUTSIDE THE VARIANCE LINE, THIS BOARD HAD LOOKED THAT THE A AS BEING GRANDFATHERED IN ESSENTIALLY?

>> THAT'S EXISTING CONDITIONS. THAT'S ALLOWED TO REMAIN, WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING. IF THEY HAD KNOCKED DOWN THE WHOLE HOUSE AND BUILT THE HOUSE.

>> WITHIN THE NINE FEET. >> YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THE NINE FEET IS SOVEREIGN SORT OF LIKE A -- WOW THAT'S HUGE BUT THE COUNTY ACTUALLY CONCEDED 34 FEET OF LAND, SO IT'S NOT A

HARDSHIP THE GET MORE LAND. >> I MEAN MOST TIMES THE SETBACKS ARE MUCH CLOSER TO 40 FEET SO EVEN THE 65-FOOT BUILD RESTRICTION LINE IS FURTHER THAN A LOT OF SETBACK.

>> WELL THAT WAS PLATTED IN. JOHN, YOU MAY RECALL WHEN WE HAD -- WHEN BRAD SCOTT WAS THE CHAIR, WE HAD OTHER HOMES REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE, AND WE PUT LANGUAGE IN THE CODE TO CLARIFY IT SO THAT EVERYBODY WOULD UNDERSTAND AND TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT NUMBER WHILE IT SEEMS LARGE IT WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS A GIFT OF THAT LAND. AND THAT'S WHAT THAT LOT HAS HA.

AND WE JUST HAVE TO LOOK FOR A HARDSHIP, SO MY PROBLEM IS THAT

I DON'T SEE A HARDSHIP. >> MEGAN, ON THE HOUSE ON SOLANO ROAD IT'S COMPLETELY NEW CONSTRUCTION AND THEY WANTED -- IT WAS 13 OR 14 FEET TO MOVE IN CLOSER TO THE ROAD TO ALLOW THE

[00:30:02]

GARAGE WHERE THEY WANTED IT. AND ON THIS -- THE WAY I LOOK AT THIS, THIS IS AN EXISTING HOUSE.

PART OF MY WANT TOSS SUPPORT KEEPING THE ORIGINAL HOUSES ON PONTE VEDRA, I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING NICE ABOUT HAVING THE ORIGINAL HOUSES AND PEOPLE RENOVATE THEM AND LOOKING AT THE TWO HOUSES ON NORTH AND SOUTH WHERE THEY'RE MUCH MORE THAN -- PROBABLY AT EIGHT THE TEN FEET THAN THIS IS I TEND TO GO FOR IT. IS IT A BAD HARDSHIP OR IS IT JUST AN INCONVENIENCE? IT'S HARD TO DEFINE.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> I WANTED TO ASK ONE MORE.

WHEN YOUR GARAGE IS SET IN HOW DOES THAT SETBACK COMPARE TO THE GARAGE AT 526? LOOKS LIKE -- WOULD THEY BE

FAIRLY CLOSE? >> IN TERMS OF HOW FAR FROM

THE -- >> FROM THE ROAD?

>> I THINK IT'S FAIRLY COMPARABLE.

I HAVEN'T DONE THE SURVEY. >> I WOULD GO THE OTHER DIRECTION, I THINK FIVE-FOOT FENCE IS GOING TO STICK OUT.

IT'S IN THE SAME RANGE AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING

[INDISCERNIBLE]. >> DID YOU STAKE IT?

>> WE HAVEN'T STAKED IT OUT YET, KNOW MA'AM.

>> SO YOU DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW FAR IT WILL BE [INDISCERNIBLE] IT WILL BE THE 14 FEET, YOU KNOW, IT WILL BE WHATEVER IT SAYS ON THE SURVEY. THAT'S WHAT IT WILL BE STAKED OUT TO. SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO BEYOND

THE SURVEY. >> WOULD YOU CONSIDER MOVING THE GARAGE CLOSER TO THE HOUSE? SO THAT IT'S CONTIGUOUS.

>> ESPECIALLY WITH WINDOWS THERE, BEDROOM WINDOWS, I FEEL LIKE ANY CLOSER MIGHT JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S CLOSING IN ON YOU.

I MEAN -- YEAH, I MEAN I THINK IT WOULD FEEL TIGHT AND DARK,

MAYBE IN THAT BEDROOM. >> WILL THERE BE ANY SORT OF COVER TEEN THE GARAGE AND THE HOUSE? IF YOU WALK TO THE GARAGE TO THE HOW THE IN THE RAIN?

>> IT WON'T BE COVERED. IT'S COMPLETELY DETACH.

>> AND THE HOUSE -- I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THE OVERHAND OF

THE EVES WAS. >> LIKE TWO FEET.

>> AND THEN THE OVERHANG WOULD BE THE SAME?

>> A LITTLE LESS. >> YOU'LL HAVE GUTTERS?

>> YEAH WE'LL HAVE GUTTERS ON BEAU THE MAIN HOUSE AND THE

DETACHED. >> THANK YOU.

>> ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? I HAVE TO ASK. DO I HEAR A MOTION?

>> I'LL MAKE A MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE PVZVAR 2023 WILL HAVE ZERO SEVEN, 524 PONTE VEDRA BOULEVARD VARIANCE BASED ON FINDINGS OF FACT, SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS LISTED IN THE STAFF

REPORT. >> SECOND.

[2. PVZVAR 2023-08 Kansler Variance. Request for a Zoning Variance to Section VIII.L of the Ponte Vedra Zoning District Regulations to allow for an encroachment into the 40-foot Building Restriction Line to accommodate placement of a screened pool enclosure, located at 216 Sea Glass Way.]

[00:35:01]

THE RESIDENTS ARE FROM NORTH CAROLINA AND THEY'RE MOVING DOWN SO THEY'RE NOT IN YET, THE HOUSE IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

THIS IS RELIEF FROM SECTION 8-L FOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURES FOR AN 11-FOOT ENCROACHMENT INTO THE 40-FOOT REAR YARD SETBACK.

AND IT'S FOR A POOL ENCLOSURE, A SCREENED ENCLOSURE, SO THIS IS THE AERIAL VIEW OF SEA GLASS AND YOU KNOW IT'S A VERY NEW NEIGHBORHOOD OUT THERE. THE REDS IS ON A CUL-DE-SAC,, YOU SEE THE REGULAR SHAPED BOUNDARY AND I'LL GO THROUGH THAT IN A MINUTE. THE ZONING IS R ONE B WHICH IS A 40-FOOT THE REAR SOCIETY BACK. AND THIS IS THE HOUSE AND THE POOL SO THIS IS THE ORIENTATION.

YOU SEE THE POOL TRIED TO BE WITHIN THE BUILDING RESTRICTION LINE THERE AS WELL. THIS IS THE BOUNDARY SO IS THAT REALLY HIGHLIGHT THE VARIATIONS SPECIFICALLY HIGHLIGHTED ON THE REAR PROPERTY LINE, ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR -- YOU KNOW, FOUR DIFFERENT SHAPES WHICH DOESN'T MAKE IT CONVENTIONAL GOING STRAIGHT ACROSS AND I'LL SHOW YOU HOW WE HAD TO NAVIGATE THAT. YO SEE THE BUILDING RESTRICTION LINE MARRIES UP WITH THAT AND THEN OF COURSE THE SCREENED 'EM CLOSURE SO THAT IS THE OUTLINE TO HAVE SCREEN ENCLOSURE CONCEPT. AND THIS IS A CLOSER VIEW SHOWING THE RED THERE HIGHLIGHTED WHICH IS THE 40-FOOT SETBACK LINE AND THEN OF COURSE THE MEASUREMENT STRAIGHT FROM THE REAR PROPERTY LINES INTO IS THAT SO IS THAT YELLOW AREA IS HIGHLIGHTING THE 40 FEET. AND HAVE YOU SEE THE ENCROACHMENT THERE. THE AREA IS A RETAINING WALLED THAT BEEN PUT IN SO THIS IS A WETLAND AND I'LL DESCRIBE THAT MORE IN A MINUTE BUT THERE IS A RETAINING WALL THERE AND THERE'S 18 INFORMATION BETWEEN THE SCREEN AREA AND THE FACE OF IF RETAINING WALL. AND THE WETLAND LINE OF THE PROPERTY. THERE IS A WETLANDS A LIFT STATION, A CUL-DE-SAC AND ONE RESIDENT ABUTTING THE PROPERTY AND I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH THAT. IT IS THE WETLAND OPENED PRESERVE. NEXT IS THE LIFT STATION HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW. HERE'S THE ONLY ABUTTING RESIDENCE TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
