Greene stated for the new members that the Board had seen a similar request in January and February of this year. The City ordinance states that pools be no closer than ten feet to the property line and this is why these fall into the jurisdiction of this Board. Each of these properties backs up to a ccmmon green area, or golf course~ and is not backed up to any additional residential property and is the reason the Board granted the requests in January and February. LeBlanc stated that Mr. Robert Bland, President of Wellington Developnents, is present to speak on the requests. Bland stated that they are building homes in Country Club Village in Tuscawilla. He stated that all of these lots back up to a greenbelt arrl the greenbelt goes 75 feet to the creek. The side yard requirements are met and don I t infringe on anyone. He asked the Board to consider the requests as it lets the developer build a nicer product. Green asked if the sale of the homes is pending on whether there is a pool or not. Bland stated that they would probably lose' the sale if there was no pool. Green also asked about the screen enclosure on lot 150, that this is two to three feet beyond the side wall of the home. He stated that this is not allowed in other parts of Tuscawilla. Bland stated that the lot is pie shaPed and is long in the back. He stated that this has been signed off by the Architectural Review Board of Tuscawilla.
