Authorization
REQUEST: The Community Development Department recommends the Board of
Adjustment hear a request for a variance by Charles and Sandra Lacey from Section 20-103 of
the City Code of Ordinances, to encroach 3 feet into the 20 foot side building setback to add on
to the side of an existing single family residence. /
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to consider a request by the Laceys for a
variance from the requirements of Section 20-123 of the City Code of Ordinances to encroach
3 feet into the 20 foot side building setback at 733 Bear Creek Circle (Lot 21, Bear Creek
Estates, depicted in Plat Book 26, pages 57-59 of the Public Records of Seminole County,
Florida). The applicable 20 foot side building setback is set forth on the final subdivision plat,
cited above.
The City Attorney has determined that the City has the authority to hear variance requests
involving [primary structure] building setbacks on lots within planned unit developments
(PUDs) where the building setbacks are set forth on the final subdivision plat, as in this case.
A proposed ordinance is being considered (draft Ordinance No. 2004-31 is scheduled for first
reading on June 28, 2004) to establish minimum primary structure building setbacks within
PUDs.
APPLICABLE CODE:
Sec. 6-2. Compliance with Chapter.
Article XI. NONCONFORMITIES (Sec. 9-561 through 9-566)
Sec. 20-82. Duties and powers; general.
Sec. 20-103. Restrictions upon lands, buildings and structures.
July 1, 2004
Regular Item A
Page 2
Sec. 20-166. Front, rear, and side yard regulations.
CHRONOLOGY:
June 18, 2004 - Variance application was received by City.
FINDINGS:
1) Lot No. 21, of Bear Creek Estates, is zoned PUD (Tuscawilla PUD) and has
a Rural Residential Future Land Use designation.
2) The required side yard building setback is 20 feet, as set forth on the face of
every page of the plat.
3) The applicant requests a variance to encroach 3 feet into the 20 foot side
yard building setback, to within 17 feet of the side property line.
4) The applicants have provided the attached memo of June 16,2004, from the
neighbors adjacent to the proposed addition, stating their endorsement of the
proposed building addition into the side yard building setback.
5) A variance requires compliance with all six (6) criteria outlined in Code
Section 20-82 (staff does not believe that the request meets any of the 6
criteria):
a) that special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the
land, structures or buildings involved and which are not applicable to
other lands, structures or buildings in the same zoning district;
There is nothing peculiar to this land, structure, or building which is
not applicable likewise within the same zoning district.
b) that special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions
of the applicant;
The request results from the applicant.
c) that granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any
special privilege that is denied by this chapter to other lands, buildings
or structures in the same zoning district;
Granting the variance would confer a special privilege upon the
applicant.
d) that literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive
the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the
same zoning district under the terms of this chapter and would work
unnecessary hardship on the applicant;
A literal interpretation of these provisions would not deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties within the
district and would not work an unnecessary hardship on the applicant.
July I, 2004
Regular Item A
Page 3
e) that the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make
possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure.; and
The variance is not the minimum necessary to make possible the
reasonable use of the building or land.
t) that the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent
and purpose of this chapter, will not be injurious to the neighborhood, or
otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
Granting the variance would not be in harmony with the intent or
purpose of the regulations.
6) There is no lake, tract, or other known mitigating
topographic/environmental feature behind this lot that would lessen the
effects of the proposed encroachment on the neighboring residents.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff did not find the request to be consistent with any of six (6) criteria necessary for granting
a variance and recommends a recommendation to deny.

Winter Springs, FL 32708-2799
attn: Board of Adjustment Application
Dear Sir or Madam:
Please fmd enclosed our application to the Board of Adjustment for a variance to the side setback
requirement for our home. Presently, the west-facing side of the house is 26.08 feet from the lot line;
the setback is 20 feet. For a very desirable addition to our home, it is only practical to proceed with
construction if we can relocate the exterior wall by 8 feet 8 inches. Accordingly, we are requesting a
variance in the setback of three feet.
If@arite9~,the setback will still be in excess of seventeen feet.
Oiirn~w~strieighbors, and the only ones affected by the setback have endorsed this variance request.
'Th:~!f\!~tt~ds attached. Also, the Architectural Review Committee of the Bear Creek Homeowners
:ASsSd.l~iiorihas indicated their intent to approve the construction and I will forward this document as
S0011f,as I receive it.
~e:havecarefully reviewed the key points in justifying the need for a variance and believe they are
fiiU)':'satisfied in our request.
1. Special conditions and circumstances exist in that the home was built with a Master Bedroom suite
(primarily the bath and closet area) that is markedly smaller than any of the homes in the
neighborhood. We, and our neighbors, believe this will have material negative affect on the resale
value of this house, and is thereby a negative factor for the neighborhood as a whole.
2. The special conditions pre-existed our occupancy and we are trying to correct them with this
application.
3. We do not believe that this construction will confer upon us any special privilege.
4. As stated above, our present enjoyment of the home and its future resale value is harmed by the
present state of the house.
5. This is the minimum variance request that will allow us to cure the problem. We have hired an
architect to explore every possible means to avoid having to make this request, but after looking at
many scenarios, we are unable to fmd a solution that does not extend the west side. The total space
needed is precisely calculated at eight feet eight inches and we are requesting a variance of three feet
to account for possible error, but it is our intent to encroach upon the current setback by just two feet
inches.

6. Your granting of this variance wiJI allow us to enhance the neighborhood. The Architectural
Review Committee of the Bear Creek Homeowners Association will approve the plans only if the
new construction will be in harmony with the current building and neighborhood standards.
7. The enhanced home value will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

Re: Home improvement at 733 Bear Creek Circle
Lot 21, Bear Creek Estates
Our direct neighbors to the east, Charles and Sandi Lacey, are planning an
addition to their home on the side that faces our property. We understand that
this will require a variance to the side setback of less than three feet.
We have reviewed their architectural plans and feel that this will be an
improvement to their property and, thus, to the whole community of Bear Creek
Estates. Accordingly, we endorse our neighbors' home addition plans.
