Authorization
REQUEST: The Community Development Department recommends the City Commission
hear a waiver request 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. This was previously heard as a variance, but has directed
back through the BOA, pursuant to the newly adopted waiver provisions (Section 20-34 ofthe
City Code) in Ordinance No. 2004-49.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to consider a request by the Laceys for a
waiver of the requirements of Section 20-123 of the City Code of Ordinances to encroach 3
feet into the 20 foot side building setback (pursuant to Section 20-34) 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
fmal subdivision plat, cited above.
DISCUSSION: The applicant received approval from the Bear Creek Homeowners'
Association Architectural Control Committee (please see attached).
On July 1, 2004, the BOA heard the variance request and recommended denial. On July 26,
the City Commission heard the request and voted to postpone the request, pending information
from the City Attorney regarding waivers. Ordinance No. 2004-49, providing for waivers, was
adopted December 13, 2004, and became effective immediately. The new regulation provides
a different and much less difficult set of criteria than those set forth for variances. The City
Commission implied on multiple occasions that perhaps this is an example to which a waiver
should apply. Based on the commission's implied directives, staff has processed this as if the
applicant had formally applied for a waiver. At its regularly scheduled meeting of January 6,
2005, the BOA voted unanimously to recommend the waiver request be approved.

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.

Commissioner McLeod said, "Tell us what your total square footage needs to be by going
to the nine inches (9") - I would like to Table this for the present."
REGULAR
505. Community Development Department
Recommends The City Commission Hear A Request For A Variance By Charles
And Sandra Lacey From Section 20-103. Of The City Code Of Ordinances, To
Encroach Three Feet (3') Into The Twenty Foot (20') Side Building Setback To Add
On To The Side Of An Existing Single Family Residence.
Mr. Baker introduced this Agenda Item.
Mr. Charles Lacey, 733 Bear Creek Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: addressed his
Variance Request.
Discussion.
Commissioner McLeod said to Attorney Garganese, "It seems to me the Commission in
this type situation should be able to take a look at this - and make a decision without
trying follow the six (6) criteria - if the homeowner and the Association and the
Architectural Review Committee and everybody else is saying this thing is okay for their
neighborhood, then why would we not give a Variance to do it? So my suggestion here
Commission - we need to direct the Attorney to take a look at this as to a way, that when
something of this nature comes in front of the Commission, they are able to act on it."
Commissioner McLeod also said, "What is written in our books, that needs to be updated
and taken a look at - and I would like the other Commissioners to direct the City Staff to
do that also."
Further discussion.

Next, Commissioner McLeod said, "I still disagree with - Commissioner Blake and
would like to see if the other Commissioners would like to have the City Attorney take a
look at this thing and come back to us for special circumstances that allow us to make a
Variance judgment, other than these six (6) criteria. That opens it up where the
Commission can use good common sense to do what is right for the neighborhood."
With discussion, Attorney Garganese suggested, "We could put something in the Code
that allows the Commission to waive certain Code provisions under certain
circumstances, but that requires a different set of rules for the Commission to apply."
Commissioner McLeod responded, "I think that is something we should take a look at."
Mayor Bush added, "I think the Commission needs that ability to do this." Furthermore,
Mayor Bush said to Commissioner McGinnis, "Do you agree?" Commissioner McGinnis
remarked, "Absolutely." Commissioner Gilmore noted, "I agree." With further
discussion, Commissioner Blake responded, "No."
Commissioner McGinnis then said, "I would definitely be interested in - if other cities
have waivers, what do they look like?"
Commissioner McLeod added, "Direct the City Attorney to try to get this back to us in
the next sixty (60) days."
"I MOVE THAT WE POSTPONE MR. LACY'S REQUEST, PENDNG FURTHER
INFORMATION FROM THE ATTORNEY REGARDING WAIVERS."
MOTION BY COMMISSIONER McGINNIS. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
GILMORE. DISCUSSION.
VOTE:
COMMISSIONER McLEOD: AYE
COMMISSIONER BLAKE: AYE
COMMISSIONER McGINNIS: AYE
COMMISSIONER GILMORE: AYE
MOTION CARRIED.
Attorney Garganese stated, "What I am going to come back with is a draft Ordinance that
establishes a waiver - a waiver procedure for you to consider. If the Commission adopts
that Ordinance, then you would likely have to reapply for a waiver and the Variance
application could either be held in abeyance until you consider the Waiver application, or
if you grant a Waiver, then the Variance application would just go away."
Mr. Baker mentioned that "We have a big sign as Mr. Lacey noted in front of his house -
the question is since his neighbors don't object, can that sign come down, or do we need
to put it back up whenever this comes back before you?" Mayor Bush said, "I would
think it could come back for right now..." Mr. Lockcuff added, ".. .And put it back up
later. "
