was mandated by the City Commission as part of their approval of the Winding Hollow
Lot Split Resolution back on December 10th, 2012. Commission approved Resolution
2012-43, subject to four (4) specific conditions.

an office park on the interior lot. Second, the Applicant shall consent to the City
administratively rezoning the interior lot to C-1, `Neighborhood Commercial'.

Third, the Applicant shall consent the interior lot being subject to the State Road 434
General Design Standards for the new development area. Fourth, that the Lot Split
Resolution shall not be finalized and recorded until such time that the binding
Development Agreement is finalized and executed."
Discussion ensued on surrounding area zoning, Easements, and density.
Concluding the presentation, Mr. Woodruff stated, "Staff recommends that the Planning
and Zoning Board forward a recommendation of Approval to the City Commission for
Ordinance 2013-01."
Board Member Howard Casman mentioned the exact location and asked, "Why is the
(Public Hearings Notice) sign on the other property and why is it hard to find? It is
obscured and it's on the wrong piece of property." Mr. Woodruff explained, "Right now,
this property is all one (1) piece, it's all one (1) parcel. We asked for the sign to be
located here off of Winding Hollow Boulevard. If it is located up here as you mentioned
off of(State Road) 434, then we can have that sign moved." Further comments.
Mr. Randy Stevenson, ASLA, AICP, Director, Community Development Department
added, "The property is not really split yet. We have not recorded a Lot Split Resolution.
Because of the size of the signs that the City places — we have to do utility locates. So,
that might have something to do with it. But, I will check into it. We'll make sure; if at all
possible, we can get it moved south to the actual piece of property." Mr. Stevenson also
noted that the rezoning request will not go to the City Commission for Approval until the
Developer's Agreement and Resolution have been Approved and recorded.
Chairman Poe opened "Public Input"for this Agenda Item.
Mr. Drew Hawkins, 427 Woodcrest Street, Winter Springs, Florida: mentioned the
Public Hearings Notice sign was obscured by trees and believed it should be more visible
to the public; and was concerned with what may be built on the property.
Chairman Poe closed "Public Input".

PUBLIC HEARINGS
501. Community Development Department—Planning Division ,.,.
Requests The Planning And Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Hold A Public
Hearing For Property Located At 749 North Gretna Court, For Approval Of A
Waiver To Section 20-353 (e)(2)(c) Of The City Code, To Permit A Rear Setback
Encroachment From 25-Feet To 10-Feet In The Highlands, Section 4 PUD (Planned
Unit Development) For An Existing Room Addition.
Mr. Bobby Howell, AICP, Planner, Community Development Department presented the
Agenda Item for discussion and explained that the Applicant had just purchased the
property and discovered the foundation issues after the purchase of the property. Mr.
Howell added, "The Applicant then submitted a Building Permit to the City in order to
correct this problem. When the Building Official reviewed the Permit, it was determined
that the rear portion of the building, which is a room addition that was added onto the
house, encroaches into the rear setback." The location was shown on the building plans
to those in attendance.
Furthermore, Mr. Howell explained, "The addition was built by a previous owner without
a Permit. During purchase of the home, the Applicant discovered that this was not
disclosed to them; that it was in Violation of the setback.
The Permit Application was then denied due to the setback encroachment of the existing
room application. Based on this, the Applicant is requesting Approval of a Waiver to
Section 20-353. (e) (2) c. of the City Code to permit a rear setback encroachment from
twenty-five feet (25')to ten feet (10') for the existing room addition."
Discussion followed on the specific Code, the Highlands Planned Unit Development
requirements, and the date the home was built.
Mr. Howell also stated, "The Applicant has obtained letters of support from the
Highlands HOA (Homeowners Association) and from the surrounding property owners
for the Waiver request. Aerial photographs reveal that the structure is covered in tree
canopy and not even visible from the surrounding area. If the Waiver is approved, the
addition will be required to obtain a Building Permit and be brought into Compliance
with all applicable requirements of the Florida Building Code."
Further, Mr. Howell remarked, "This is not a self-imposed hardship. The Applicant
inherited this problem upon purchase of the home. If this Waiver is not granted, the
structure would need to be demolished; resulting in significant expenses to the current
owner, as well as loss of living space within the structure."
