The

demonstrates
that
the

met
the

the

to
find

of
the

Yeah
Lois,
sir
and
I'll
be
presenting
staff
comments
this
evening.
This
this
application
is
or
a
to
authorize
a
variance
to
allow
circular
driveway
driveway
and
one
additional
driveway
for
a
single-family
residence
section,
129,
0,

C,
1,
driveway
and
access
management
permits
for
1,
&,
2,
family
dwellings
to
have
a
circular
driveway
or
a
second
driveway.
This
subject,
property
is
at
504
Chesapeake
Drive.
E
The
applicants
are
requesting
of
areas
to
utilize,
both
the
circular
driveway
and
an
additional
driveway
from
a
separate
street
frontage
for
a
single-family
residence
and
the
property
is
located
at
the
intersection
of
Chesapeake
Drive
and
door
Court.
The
proposed
circular
driveway
will
be
a
kroff
of
Chesapeake
Drive
with
the
second
driveway
off
of
door.
Court,
the
residence
is
being
rebuilt
following
a
fire.
Previously,
the
house
had
two
driveways
one
from
each
street
frontage.
E
With
this
recent
renovation,
the
applicants
have
proposed
maintaining
driveway
access
along
both
street
frontages
and
they've,
converted
the
driveway
along
Chesapeake
Drive
to
a
circular
driveway
in
their
application.
The
applicants
have
indicated
that
the
circular
driveway
along
Chesapeake
Drive,
is
needed
because
on
street
parking
and
non-residential
traffic
along
this
roadway
create
access
problems
to
their
house.
The
circular
driveway
all
lines
with
and
approximate
approximates
the
width
of
a
driveway
serving
a
nursing
home
that
is
located
directly
across
the
street,
thereby
improving
safety
and
access.
E
The
driveway
along
dirt
Court
will
be
utilized
for
parking
in
the
rear
of
the
property
of
a
large
recreational
vehicle
that
the
applicants
home.
The
application
has
been
reviewed
in
respect
to
the
criteria
of
section
215,
0.02
B
of
the
land,
development
codes
and
I'll
briefly
go
over
our
findings.
The
first
criteria
is
that
the
need
for
the
requested
variance
arises
out
of
the
physical
surroundings,
shape
typographical
conditions
or
other
physical
or
environmental
conditions
that
are
unique
to
the
specific
property
involved.
E
Our
finding
is
that
the
need
for
the
variance
is
due
to
the
location
of
the
subject:
property
on
a
corner,
the
location
and
width
of
the
adjacent
non
resident,
non
residential,
driveway
and
Street
access
limitations
created
by
frequent
non
residential
on
street
parking
in
this
vicinity.
The
second
criteria
that
the
condition
or
special
circumstances
peculiar
to
the
property
have
not
been
self
created
or
have
resulted
from
an
action
by
the
applicant.
The
circumstances
that
we
noted
are
not
self
created,
nor
are
they,
nor
do
they
result
from
actions
by
the
applicant.
E
The
third
that
littoral
enforcement
of
the
requirements
of
the
city
of
tarpon
springs.
Land
development
code
would
have
the
effect
of
denying
the
applicants
reasonable
use
of
the
property
our
finding
is
at
littoral
enforcement
of
the
driveway
stand
with
standards
would
restrict
the
subject
property
to
a
single
circular,
driveway
on
one
frontage
or
a
single
standard.
E
Driveway
access
on
each
road
frontage
because
of
the
alignment
and
width
of
the
driveway
across
the
street
and
access
limitations
in
the
vicinity
of
this
lot
due
to
the
non-residential
traffic
and
on
street
parking,
reasonable
use
of
property
would
be
restricted
without
the
requested
variance
in
regard
to
criteria
number
four.
The
granting
of
the
variance
will
not
confer
any
special
privilege
that
is
not
allowed
for
other
lands,
buildings
or
structures.
In
the
same
note
as
owning
district,
our
finding
is
that
access
to
the
subject
property
is
restricted.
E
Our
finding
is
a
the
granting
of
the
variance
to
allow
circular
driveway
in
one
additional
drive.
Standard
driveway
will
not
adversely
affect
impact
or
impact
surrounding
properties.
Granting
other
variants
will
likely
improve
traffic
circulation
along
this
segment
of
Chesapeake.
Drive
staff
has
not
received
any
responses
to
the
notices
that
were
sent
out
briefly.
Our
findings
of
fact
are
as
follows:
the
request
is
sought
the
rises
circular
driveway
and
one
additional
standard
driveway
serving
a
single-family
residential
number
to
the
roadway
in
front
of
the
subject.
E
Property
property
allows
on
street
parking
and
includes
a
high
percentage
of
non-residential
traffic
due
to
the
location
of
a
nursing
home
located
directly
across
the
street.
From
the
subject
property
number
three,
the
circular
driveway
aligns
with
and
approximates
the
width
of
a
driveway
serving
a
nursing
home
that
is
directly
across
the
street
from
the
subject
property,
thereby
improving
safety
and
access
for
driveway
along
the
secondary
frontage
will
allow
access
to
the
rear
of
the
site
for
parking
of
a
recreational
vehicle.
E
5
the
conditions
and
special
circumstances
associated
with
this
variance
have
not
been
self
created,
nor
have
they
resulted
from
that
action
by
the
applicant
and
finally
number
6
granting
of
the
variance
to
allow
a
circular,
driveway
and
one
additional
driveway
will
not
adversely
impact
surrounding
properties
and
will
allow
for
safe
and
efficient
traffic
circulation
in
this
area.
Based
on
our
findings,
staff
is
recommending
approval
of
this
variance.
A
Thank
you,
you're
entitled
to
cross-examine
the
staff
if
you
like,
but
they're,
recommending
approval
so
I.
Don't
think
you
want
to
do
that
snatch
defeat
from
the
jaws
of
victory,
so
you're
now
yeah
I
want
to
lick
the
middle,
make
your
own
little
presentation.
You're
welcome
to
do
so
up
at
the
podium.
If
you
would
okay
you're
gonna,
waive
that.
E
F
My
problem
is
why
we
have
selective
recommendations.
For
instance,
in
the
past
we
had
the
citizen
who
was
asking
to
build
his
garage
adjacent
to
the
house.
So
when
he
goes
watch
his
car
at
night
doesn't
get
wet
if
it
rains
and
the
city
said
no,
this
one,
the
city's
highlighting
the
point
of
a
recreational
vehicle.
Why
this
selective
thinking
by
the
sea
well.
E
I'm
not
familiar
with
the
previous
case,
I
think
in
this
case
we
have
the
adjacent
uses
that
create
circulation
issues
in
the
area
and
I
think
that's
primary,
primarily
the
factor
for
our
recommendation
and
in
this
case,
or
the
circular
driveway,
and
because
of
the
shape
of
the
property
I,
think
the
driveway
along
door
court.
Again,
it's
a
circulation
issue,
but
I
didn't
know
that
it
will
allow
the
RV
Department
behind
the
residence
as
opposed
to
being
parked
in
front
of
the
residence
which
the
good
would
be
more
desirable.
B
D
I
said,
I
am
I,
live
on
Chesapeake
on
the
opposite
end
right
before
the
trailer
park,
so
I
didn't
want
to
say
that
for
those
who
may
not
be
familiar
with
this
property,
the
this
is
a
welcome
addition
to
our
street,
the
home
that
was
torn
down
and
this
new
structure
that
it
replaced.
It
was
a
visual
and
emotional
eyesore
shall
we
say
and
I
believe
our
street
has
benefited
from
this
new
addition.
A
question
I
did
have,
and
this
may
be,
for
the
attorneys
is
just
trying
to
make
sure
I
understand.
D
D
D
H
D
Because
I
believe
that
was
my
question,
cuz
I,
believe
you
know
the
property.
You
know
records
are
part
of
our
packets
there
and
that's
where
I.
You
know.
My
question
was
so
then
my
question:
if
they
are
then
for
the
tax
purposes
which
I
understand
now
you
have
one
property.
You
know
your
resident,
you
know
your
home,
your
primary
residence
and
then
this
secondary
structure.
So
the
rules
that
we
are
to
look
at
that
talk
about
driveways
that
have
no
more
than
two
points
of
entry.
D
If
we
are
looking
at
it
from
the
standpoint
of
this
is
now
one
one
property
they
technically
would
have
four
points
of
entry,
the
circular
driveway
being
to
the
driveway
off
door
being
three
and
then
the
driveway
for
your
residential
home
being
four
again
I,
don't
know
if
these
rules
are
applying
for
that's.
Why
I'm
asking
you
know
the
attorneys
or
staff?
Are
the
rules
applied
for
this
property,
the
G
property?
If
you
will
be.
A
I
E
D
A
E
A
Think
I
see
the
survey
show
is
that
there's
some
waterfront
property
as
a
waterfront
parcel?
Is
it
goes
out
to
the
water,
but
on
the
property
appraiser's
back
up
here
it
says
that
it's
not
waterfront
is
that
it's
kind
of
academic,
but
is
there
waterfront
property
attached
to
this
house
like
the
survey
shows.
J
G
A
I
I
I
A
I
A
D
A
What
it
says
is
that
each
development
has
permitted
one
drive
away
per
street
frontage.
Providing
the
following
additional
requirements
are
also
apply.
You
can
have
a
circular
driveway
if
it's
less
than
28
feet,
total
width-
and
this
came
up
last
year,
I
asked
the
planner.
What
was
the
reason
for
this
restriction
of
28
feet
and
is
it
aesthetics
or
planning
or
traffic?
A
And
there
was
no
answer
so
there's
no
reason
why
there's
a
28
foot
minimum
width
that
I
know
of
than
anybody
else
does
welcome
to
answer
that
question
my
driveway
with
some
more
than
28
feet.
I
never
got
a
variance,
and
this
is
after
the
code
was
in
it.
Whatever
benefit
there
may
be
all
right.
Are
we
ready
for
the
question
any
further
comments.
A
E
F
J
D
J
G
G
H
D
F
A
C
Yeah
I,
don't
want
any
rep
you
if
you're
making.
You
cannot
do
any
action
on
this
letter
tonight.
There's
nothing
notice.
If
you'd
like
to
as
a
comment,
you
can
read
the
letter
into
the
minutes.
That's
fine,
but
there
should
be
no
discussion
on
this
and
don't
you
sign
the
letter
I
I
would
recommend
not
because
that
would
sounds
like
an
action
to
me.
E
E
K
This
is
John
Glenn's,
er
I'm
alternate
on
the
board,
and
that
was
my
understanding
also
and
we
had
to
miss
the
September
meeting,
and
thus
it
was
rolled
over
to
the
October
meeting,
but
I
thought
after
the
special
session.
It
was
understood
that
it
would
be
on
the
next
agenda
and
we'd
be
able
to
present
it.
A
E
H
H
H
H
J
D
C
C
D
A
Know
and
then,
after
that,
it
will
go
to
the
city
commissioners,
and
we
can
talk
to
the
city
commissioners,
as
a
group
before
you
want
to,
because
the
City
Attorney's
Office
has
said
that
this
isn't.
That
would
not
be
a
violation
of
Sunshine
Law,
since
it
doesn't
involve
for
a
seeable
action
of
this
board.
So
we
can
do
two
or
three
or
four.
