ANALYSIS OF REQUEST FOR PLANNING & ZONING BOARD INTERPRETATION: THE FOLLOWING SUMMARIZES THE DATA AND ISSUES WHICH STAFF ANALYZED INREVIEWINGTIDS APPEAL TO THE P & Z BOARD FOR INTERPRETATION. A. JUSTIFICA TION FOR REQUEST: 1. The applicant believes that the 40 foot setback is unduly restrictive considering the type of houses being built in Phase 2. The houses built in Phase I are 2. Staff believes that a reduction of the buffer from 40 feet to 30 feet would not negatively impact the Golf Course, nor the functional and aesthetic enjoyment of properties adjacent to the Golf Course. 3. Granting of the reduction in the forty (40) foot buffer to thirty (30) feet by the Planning & Zoning Board is not in conflict with the covenants and restrictions of Greenbriar at Tuscawilla, since the document of covenants and restrictions allows for modifications. B. POTENTIAL NEGATIVE EFFECTS TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES: 1. Possible potential negative effect might be that purchasers of lots along the Golf Course in Phase 1 may object claiming preferential treatment. The practical effect, in the view of owners in Phase 1, may be that the functional use of their property is not on equal basis as those properties in Phase 2. 2. Phase 1 property owners along the Golf Course may seek to have their buffer reduced from the forty (40) feet to what is now requested in Phase 2 - thirty (30) feet. III. FINDINGS: * The Revised Lot Layout plan of the Final Development Plan of Greenbriar Phase 2 indicates a 40' setback along the golf course.. * A forty (40) foot golf course setback is indicated on the Final Development Plan for Greenbriar in the lot layout detail. * The applicant must present the proposed change to reduce the forty (40) foot buffer for those properties bordering the Golf course to thirty (30) feet, per Sec. 20-360 and Sec. 20-359 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Winter Springs. t * Staff believes that a reduction of the buffer from 40 feet to 30 feet would not negatively impact the Golf Course, nor the functional and aesthetic enjoyment of properties adjacent to the Golf Course. * The document titled First Amendment to Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions Greenbriar (Also known as Greenbriar at Tuscawilla) [signed June, 20, 1985]states in Article VIII Architectural Review Board, Section 2. Review by the Architectural Review Board "Nothing herein shall authorize the ARB or Developer to issue a waiver of any provision, section or requirement of the Code of Ordinances for the City of Winter Springs, Florida." (Page 5) Section 3. Rules. Statements of Policy. and Effect of ARB Approvals. states "The ARB shall have no authority to promulgate a rule, statement or policies in conflict or inconsistent with the Code of Ordinances of the City of Winter Springs, Florida. " IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning & Zoning Board determine that the proposed change: (1) does not constitute a substantial or substantive change in the approved Final Development Plan; and, (2) that the change is substantially consistent with the approved Final Development Plan; and, (3) approve the proposed change to reduce from forty (40) feet to thirty (30) feet the buffer along the Golf Course in Greenbriar Phase 2.
