SYNOPSIS:
Section 20-36 of the Code of Ordinances states Conditional Uses and Waivers that
have been approved by the City Commission will expire 2 years after the effective date of said
approval. This Section of the Code requires property owners who need extensions of these approvals
to submit a request in writing to the City Commission. The City Commission has the discretion to

good cause for the extension.
CONSIDERATIONS:
APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY
Section 20-36, City of Winter Springs Code of Ordinances
BACKGROUND
On June 8, 2009, Mr. Todd Fante petitioned the City Commission to approve a Conditional Use and
Setback Waiver to permit the enlargement an existing detached garage on his property from a size of
530 square feet to 1,060 square feet. The Conditional Use was requested due to the requirement of
Section 6-84 of the Code of Ordinances not permitting detached accessory buildings to exceed one-
third (1/3) the area of the air-conditioned square footage of the principle structure. The proposed
addition to the garage would have increased the size of the accessory building to 1,060 square feet,
or one-half (1/2) the size of the primary structure, which is 2,121 square feet.
Additionally, Mr. Fante petitioned the City Commission to permit a waiver request to allow a
reduction to the 20-foot side and 35-foot rear setbacks in the RC-1 (Single-family dwelling) zoning
district to a 15-foot side setback and a 14-foot setback from the rear property line. Both of these

Due to current economic conditions, Mr. Fante has been unable to construct the addition and is
requesting the 6-month extension for the Conditional Use approval and Setback Waiver.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No funding required.
