This chapter is referenced by Planning and Building staff on a daily basis as it details the construction of fences, screen porches, swimming pools, and accessory buildings, in addition to many other important elements. The vast majority of the provisions contained within this chapter are out-of-date, unenforceable, superseded by current state and/or federal law, and are generally difficult to interpret. Staff undertook the task of the update in order to make it easier to understand and interpret for staff, contractors, and the citizens.   APPLICABLE LAW, PUBLIC POLICY, AND EVENTS Florida Statutes 163.2511-163.3246 : (Provides that land development regulations for municipal planning be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan).

There are many provisions of this chapter that are currently obsolete, and superseded by the Florida Building Code, the International Property Maintenance Code, and federal law such as the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Moreover, there are provisions of this chapter such as the accessory building and fence sections that and are generally difficult to interpret. Staff has prepared Ordinance 2012-15, which details major changes to Chapter 6.   A breakdown of the updates to the code are as follows:   Section 6-1 – Purpose. Language has been added that relates the chapter to the  Florida Building Code.   Section 6-5 is now titled “Authority of Building Official to stop work if  contrary to public welfare.” Building Inspector has been changed to Building Official as this is the City official responsible per Florida law to perform any plan review or inspection for which certification is required by Florida law.   Section 6-6 - Obsolete language has been stricken from this section.    Section 6-31 – Replaces outdated language from the 2001 Florida Building  Code that was previously referenced with language from the most recently adopted version of the Florida Building Code.   Section 6-32 – Definition of Building Official has been provided in this  section.   Section 6-33 is now titled “Local wind speed design criteria.” Seminole  County wind speed category maps per the Florida Building Code are now provided.   Section 6-81 is now titled “Florida Building Code adopted.” This section  repeals the Standard Building Code, Standard Existing Building Code, Standard Housing Code and One and Two Family Dwelling Code and adopts the Florida Building Code since the aforementioned codes are no longer in use.   Section 6-82 – Amendment to building code. This section is repealed.    Section 6-83 – Television dish antennas. Defers to the Telecommunications  Act of 1996 which does not require building permits for television dish antennas measuring less than one (1) meter (39.37-inches) in diameter. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 is federal law and supersedes local law. The current language in this provision of the code has not changed since 1974, and refers to large satellite dishes, not the modern “dish” units that are currently installed by telecommunication companies on residential properties. The current language requires homeowners to obtain building permits for all television dish antennas. The City cannot require homeowners to obtain building permits for satellite dishes under one (1) meter in diameter as this is in violation of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Public Hearings 501 PAGE 2 OF 4 - October 08, 2012   Section 6-84 – Accessory Buildings. Clarifying language has been provided,  specifically in regards to breezeways. Under the current code, accessory buildings are treated as additions to the primary structure and can exceed the maximum allowable size of 240-square feet provided they are connected to the primary structure via a breezeway. There is no maximum length of the breezeway noted in the current code. Staff has clarified this section by incorporating language that states the breezeway cannot exceed 35-feet in length.   Section 6-85 – Accessory dwelling units. Language has been added defining  an accessory dwelling unit.   Section 6-86  is now titled “Screen Enclosures/rooms.” A definition of screen  room has been added that defines these rooms consisting of all screen mesh, and those with roofs of insect screening, plastic, aluminum or similar lightweight material. The current code only permits screen rooms with all screening, inclusive of the roof. Screen rooms with solid roofs are treated as an addition to the primary structure, and are required to maintain the same rear yard setback as the primary structure. This provision of the code in many cases has prevented citizens from constructing screen rooms in their rear yards. In performing research for this code update, staff cannot determine a logical reason behind the current code requirement. Staff has revised this portion of the code to permit screen rooms with solid roofs to be constructed in the same manner as screen rooms with screen mesh roofs, and recommends permitting all screen rooms to be constructed to within seven (7) feet of the rear property line.   Articles V, Plumbing; VI, Mechanical; VII, Unsafe Buildings; X, Gas Code;  and XI Reserved have been stricken. Articles V, VI, VII, and X have been incorporated into Article IV, which is now titled “Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical & Gas.”   Article V is now titled “Fences, Walls, Hedges.”    Section 6-191  is now titled “Corner lots.”  This section has been revised to  clarify how fences should be permitted when constructed on corner lots, and lots adjacent to street intersections. The current language dates to 1974 and is difficult for staff, fence contractors, and citizens to understand.   Section 6-210 is now titled “Florida Building Code.” This section has been  revised to ensure swimming pools are constructed in accordance with the requirements of the Florida Building Code. The current language adopts the Standard Swimming Pool Code of 1985 as promulgated by the Southern Building Code Congress International, Inc., which is no longer in use.   Section 6-212 has been revised to include up-to-date language and strikes out-  of-date, irrelevant language.   Section 6-213 has been revised to include up-to-date language and strikes out-  of-date, irrelevant language. Public Hearings 501 PAGE 3 OF 4 - October 08, 2012   Section 6-220 is now titled “Pool removal.” In the event a swimming pool is  removed, this section requires the site to be restored to its original grade.
