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.

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."
