HomeMy WebLinkAbout2004 09 02 Public Hearings Item A ;- Board of Adjustment AGENDA ITEM A Consent Informational Public Hearing X Regular September 2. 2004 Meeting Mgr. 1 Dept Authorization REQUEST: The Community Development Department presents to the Board of Adjustment a variance request fTom the requirements of Section 9-3 of the City Code, to allow further subdivision of a platted lot, pursuant to the criteria set forth in Section 9-5. The property is located generally at the northeast comer of Panama Road and South Moss Road. PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to consider a variance request by Neil and Pearl Backus, the applicants, to subdivide a platted property into more than 2 lots (an existing 3,6 acre lot, that was created when lot 6 of North Orlando Ranches, Section 1, Block B was divided into 2 lots, is proposed to be subdivided into 3 new lots - each of which meets the minimum 1 acre lot size and 120 foot lot width requirements). Section 9-3 ofthe City Code allows a previously platted lot to be re-platted into no more than 2 lots (both new lots must meet all applicable criteria established for that zoning district, as well as other applicable regulations). The Code provides for a variance from this requirement in Section 9-5, setting forth applicable variance criteria. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Sec. 9-3. Dividing platted property. Sec. 9-4. Waiver to subdivision requirements. Sec. 9-5. Variances. Sec. 9-6. Appeals from granting variances .- September 2, 2004 Public Hearing Item A Page 2 Chapter 20, Division 3. RC-I Single Family Dwelling District. Sec. 20-141 thru Sec. 20-147. Comprehensive Plan CONSIDERATIONS: North Orlando Ranches, Section 1, Block B, Lot 6 (approximately 5.163 acres) had previously been divided into 2 lots (please see attachement). Mr. and Ms. Backus have requested a variance to subdivide the larger of these lots (3.6 acres) into 3 new lots - 2 approximately 1 acre lots and one approximately 1.5 acre lot. They state that at least 7 other similar subdivisions have been allowed (e,g. Moss Road Ranches, Seibert Manor, Morie Subdivision, Susan Woods, Bahanla Ranches, VandergraffEstates, and Oak Hill Estates). Section 9-3 of the City Code provides for dividing a platted lot into 2 lots, provided that each lot meets the minimum lot size and width requirements applicable to the zoning district (RC-I zoning district - 1 acre minimum lot size and 120 feet wide at building line), as well as other applicable regulations (e.g create buildable lots that do not compromise applicable zoning, building code, health department, or wetland setbacks). The site abuts South Moss Road and Panama Road and would not require any new roadway construction, A stream or ditch and its associated wetlands cross this property. Staff believes that the comprehensive plan requires the wetland boundary be determined and surveyed prior to platting (if the variance were granted), to ensure that buildable lots are indeed being created. Section 9-5 of the City Code provides that variances may be granted from this requirement, "when such variance will not be contrary to the public interest, and where owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this chapter would result in unnecessary hardships. Such variance shall not be granted if it has the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of this chapter." The applicant must demonstrate "that special conditions exist which are peculiar to the lands, structures or required subdivision improvements involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or required subdivision improvements." Section 9-5 requires the Board of Adjustment make a finding that each portion of this section have been met in order to vote for the variance. The Board must "make a finding that the reasons set forth in the application justify granting the variance and that the variance is the minimum variance that would make possible the reasonable use of the lands, buildings or other improvements." The Board must additionally make a "finding that the granting of the variance would be in hannony with the general purpose and intent of this chapter and will not be injurious to the surrounding territory or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare." If the Board were to vote in favor of the variance, it could prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards, ~ September 2, 2004 Public Hearing Item A Page 3 CHRONOLOGY: July 21,2004- Variance application and fee received by City FINDINGS: 1.The site has RC-I zoning and a Rural Residential Future Land Use (FLU) designation. 2. North Orlando Ranches Section 1. Block B, Lot 6 (approximately 5.163 acres) has been divided into 2 lots, one lot (approximately 3.6 acres) is proposed to be subdivided into 3 lots, 3. Section 9-3 of the Code allows a platted lot to be divided into 2 lots, subject to meeting all applicable regulations. 4. Section 9-5 of the Code provides a mechanism for variances from this requirement, subj ect to meeting all of the criteria set forth for that variance (not the same variance criteria set forth for setbacks).

Code of Ordinances Chapter 9 Article I Section 9-3 states: An owner of a single lot of sufficient size, except in a platted area of a planned tmit development, may, with prior approval of the city commission, divide an originally platted single lot once into no more than two (2) parcels or lots. An owner of a lot which has been divided shall not be granted approval for a replat which would result in dividing the originally platted single lot into more than two (2) parcels or lots, Each parcel or lot so divided shall in every respect meet the criteria established elsewhere in this Code for the category of zoning and other relevant Codes under which the property is zoned and each parcel or lot shall meet the engineering requirements set out elsewhere in this chapter. In such instance, and only within the strict application of this section, may the full provisions of this chapter be waived and variances granted thereto. No buildingpennit shall be issued for the erection of any building on a previously platted lot which is divided contrary to this section. The request is for the opportunity to create (3) lots in accordance with the subdivision ordinance from an ) originally platted parcel. · What special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same zoning district? The special condition that exists is the unique shape of the land along with the physical features of the land severely inhibit the reasonable use of property if a strictly literal interpretation of sec. 9-3 is taken, · Are these special conditions and circumstances the result of actions by the applicant? No, , · How will a liteml interpretation of the provisiollS of the zoning district deprive the applicant of rights commonly e~oyed by other properties in the same zoning district and work unnecessary hardship on the applicant? The current classification of RC-l and future land use classification Rural Residential do, according to zoning district provisions, allow for lot sizes that are one acre in size, · Will granting the variance confer any special privilege that is denied to other lands, buildings or structures in the same zoning district? Granting the variance would not confer any special privilege that is denied to other lands, there are currently at least (7) subdivisions that have received similar variances in this same zoning district They are listed below: Moss Road Ranches Seibert Manor Morie Subdivision Susan Woods Bahama Ranches VandergraaffEstates Oak Hill Estates · Is the variance as requested the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure? Yes, the only variance being requested is in regards to Article I Section 9-3, The subdivision would still be required to meet all other criteria established in the code for subdivision.
