Description
City of Tarpon Springs Board of Adjustment meeting 5/24/17
B
A
G
H
A
G
I
Is
a
quasi
judicial
proceeding
where
the
Board
of
Adjustment
acts
in
a
quasi
judicial
rather
than
a
legislative
capacity
at
a
quasi-judicial
hearing,
it
is
not
the
board's
function
to
make
law,
but
rather
to
apply
law
that
has
already
been
established
in
a
quasi
judicial
hearing.
The
board
is
required
by
law
to
make
findings
of
fact,
based
upon
the
evidence
presented
at
the
hearing
and
apply
those
findings
of
fact
to
previously
establish
criteria
containing
the
Code
of
Ordinances
in
order
to
make
a
legal
decision
regarding
the
application
before
it.
I
The
board
may
only
consider
evidence
at
this
hearing
that
the
law
considers
competent,
substantial
and
relevant
to
the
issues.
If
the
competent,
substantial
and
relevant
evidence
at
the
hearing
demonstrates
that
the
applicant
has
met
the
criteria
established
in
the
code
of
ordinance,
then
the
board
is
required
by
law
to
find
in
favor
of
the
applicant.
By
the
same
token,
if
the
competent,
substantial
and
relevant
evidence
at
the
hearing
demonstrates
that
the
applicant
has
failed
to
meet
the
criteria
established
in
the
code
of
ordinance,
then
the
board
is
required
by
law
to
find
against
the
applicant.
I
G
D
Dimensional
are
sorry:
the
are
70
zoning
district.
The
dimensional
criteria
for
the
front
yard
is
a
25
foot
setback
with
that.
That's
going
to
go
through
the
findings
of
fact,
unless
you
really
want
me
to
read
through
all
of
the
criteria,
that's
up
to
the
board,
but
I'm
going
to
go
through
the
findings
of
fact
and
then
take
any
questions
that
you
may
have
to
move
us
along
I
get
there
alright.
The
request
again
is
to
reduce
the
25
foot
front
setback
to
20
foot
to
reconstruct
a
house
on
the
lot.
D
There
is
no
physical
hardship
associated
with
the
request.
A
lot
is
regular
in
shape.
It
exceeds
the
minimum
watt
square
footage
of
7,000
square
feet
and
the
other
dimensional
criteria
of
the
r70
district.
The
requested
variance,
is
a
self
created
hardship.
The
little
interpretation
of
the
requirements
of
the
land
development
code
would
not
deny
the
applicant
reasonable
use
of
the
property.
The
granting
of
the
variance
would
extend
a
special
privilege
to
the
applicant.
The
granting
of
the
variance
would
not
diminish
property
values.
D
The
request
does
not
conform
to
the
general
intent
of
the
LDC
or
policies
of
the
Comprehensive
Plan,
with
that
staff
is
recommending
denial
of
the
requested
variance
to
reduce
the
25
foot
front
yard
setback
to
20
feet
to
reconstruct
a
house
in
a
lot.
Basically,
because
the
app
this
request
does
not
meet
the
review
criteria
establishing
to
15.0
to
be
and
to
15.0
2.5
of
the
land
development
code
and
I
can
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
with
this
application.
D
Don't
know
if
it's
the
closest
one
of
all
the
houses
there,
because
I
don't
measure
the
set
with
the
setback
right
this
that
look
at
the
front
setbacks
for
all
of
the
houses
on
the
district.
I,
look
at
the
district
setbacks
based
on
that
law,
so
I
look
at
the
specific
law
criteria
based
on
this
particular
or
not
not
the
neighborhood,
and
what
we
don't
do
front
average
lot
adjustments
here.
So
as
a
result,
we
just
look
at
with
this
particular
house,
not
what's
in
comparison
to
the
neighborhood.
I
B
D
Any
house
that
was
built
after
1990
had
to
conform
with
the
zoning
district.
Okay,
anything
that
was
built
prior
to
1990.
It
wasn't
required
to
meet
with
the
today's
setbacks,
because
a
setbacks
warning
weren't
in
place,
so
many
of
the
homes
that
are
all
in
without
throughout
this
area
have
varying
dates
of
construction.
As
a
result,
anything
that
was
before
1990
may
be
closer
to
the
street
than
what's
allowed
currently
in
the
zoning
district.
B
D
But
that
is
that
is
that
reasonable
use
of
a
pool
a
pool
is
not
as
an
amenity
to
a
property.
It's
not
that
we
don't.
We
don't
provide
a
pool
for
every
house
or
area
for
a
pool
for
every
house,
we're
looking
at
the
criteria
specifically
for
putting
one
house
a
reasonable
sized
house
on
a
piece
of
property
and
that's
something
that
can
be
met
with
the
setbacks
that
are
allowed
in
district
being
that
the
lot
is
larger
than
what
we
require
for
this
district
now.
D
Do
not
know
because
I
did
not
investigate
the
house
next
door
and
what
was
what
was
there
and
what
wasn't
there,
but
we
to
post
the
sign
and
that's
all
that
we
look
for
because
the
neighborhood
is
not
what
we're
reviewing
in
this
particular
case,
we're
just
reviewing
this
particular
property.
Okay,
thank
you.
Well,.
E
G
H
First
of
all,
like
to
say
thank
you
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
come
before
the
board
and
appreciate
your
time.
My
name
is
Mike
bow,
sir
I
am
the
property
owner.
I
purchased
the
property
back
in
November
of
last
year
when
we
purchased
the
property.
Originally
our
design
or
desire
was
to
hopefully
renovate
the
home,
bring
it
up
to
current
standards
and,
as
we've
reviewed
that
process,
we
realized,
with
the
cost
of
doing
that,
and
what
we
were
hoping
to
accomplish.
H
H
We
were
trying
to
determine
a
house
that
we
could
get
that
would
fit
on
that
property
and
not
call
hopefully
cause
the
least
amount
of
disturbance
to
the
adjacent
property
owners.
My
concern
was
that,
if
I
the
home
that
I
wanted
to
build,
ultimately,
if
I
tried
to
go
further
back
into
the
property
that
it
would
cause
more
of
an
a
disturbance
and
a
problem
for
the
adjacent
property
owners
than
it
would
be,
if
I
actually
could
keep
as
much
of
the
rear
structure.
H
Ultimately
the
pool
which
is
an
elevated
pool
structure
in
place
and
renovated
as
an
existing
structure.
Ultimately,
that
would
require
me
to
come
forward
somewhat
and
then,
when
I
realize
that
it
would
ultimately
come
within
the
setback
criteria,
so
my
hopes
were
that
I
could
get
that
additional
five
feet
and
not
have
to
go
farther
back
into
the
property,
because,
in
my
opinion,
it
impacts
the
adjacent
properties
more
so
to
go
backwards
than
it
does
to
come
slightly
forward.
H
As
I
reviewed
you
and
I
know,
it's
probably
not
pertinent,
but
the
adjacent
properties
throughout
that
all
of
central
court
have
multiple
structures
that
are
built
well
within
the
setback
criteria.
I
realize
they
were
probably
built
prior
to
the
current
code.
I
also
noted
that
there's
about
a
15
foot
easement
in
the
front
of
the
property
before
you
get
the
property
line
and
then
there's
another
25
foot
criteria
setback.
F
F
H
You're
looking
at
the
proposed
well
and
that's,
this
is
modified
a
little
bit,
but
the
proposed
floor
plan
on
the
survey.
The
far
left
side
of
the
house,
which
is
actually
the
garage,
is
well
off
the
seven
and
a
half
foot
setback
to
the
side
property
line.
If
you're
looking
at
the
right-hand
side
of
the
house,
it's
basically
right
on
the
edge
of
the
seven
and
a
half
foot
setback.
If
that's
your
question.
H
F
H
A
H
H
B
H
Yeah
this
is
Ematic.
This
is
like
the
initial
schematic
that
shows
that
the
driveways,
but
it
doesn't
show
any
kind
of
circular
driveway
in
the
front
of
house.
That's
correct,
but
I
haven't
really
decided
whether
to
do
or
not
do
that
yet
I
don't
does
that
fall
within
the
25.
This
driver
doesn't
followed
in
the
25
foot.
Setback
criteria
doesn't.
D
I
I
will
tell
you
that,
even
though
it
was
provided
by
the
applicant
as
I've
said
before,
you
know,
we
were
only
to
conserve
the
application
before
you
and
the
actual
property,
so
what
the
neighbors
have
is
not
relevant
to
the
application.
That's
before
you,
even
though
the
applicant
has
the
ability
to
provide
whatever
they
want.
Okay,
so
that's
why
it's
in
your
pack
then.
E
E
H
E
E
H
H
E
B
H
D
G
The
other
question
all
right,
so
at
this
point
we
will
ask
if
anyone
from
the
public
would
like
to
come
forward
and
speak
for
the
application,
seeing
none
with.
Is
there
anyone
in
the
public
that
would
like
to
come
forward
and
speak
against
the
application
being
none
and
any
rebuttal
by
staff
for
the
applicant
any
of
it
now.
E
G
D
F
B
E
D
This
application
was
previously
only
came
before
this
board
and
actually
was
approved
in
its
current
form.
Essentially
what
the
applicant
is
actually
asking
for
it.
This
time
is
for
another
two-year
extension,
because
we
did
not
receive
the
application
to
their
in
the
30
days
before,
and
you
can
only
actually
approve
a
six-month
extension
under
our
extension.
They
have
to
come
back
through
the
process.
Essentially,
what
you're
seeing
is
the
exact
same
application
information
that
was
approved
in
2015?
It's
just
at
this
point
in
time.
He's
asking
for
additional
two
years
to
construct.
D
J
Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Rudy
are
now
it's
I'm,
the
property
owner
I'm.
Here
with
my
attorney
mr.
Tom
Belarus,
as
staff
just
pointed
out,
it
is
indeed
the
exact
same
application
that
was
previously
approved.
It
meets
all
of
the
six
criteria.
It's
a
non-conforming
lot
of
record
in
an
AR
100
zoning
district
with
the
standard
lot
with
75
feet.
I've
got
24
feet
so
about
a
third
of
that.
J
Obviously,
and
this
application
that
was
approved
was
actually
the
following
up
the
recommendations
from
staff
on
a
previous
variance
application
that
was
denied
because
it
was
actually
originally
trying
to
build
it
closer
to
Tallahassee
Drive
and
reduce
that
setback
that
got
denied,
and
instead
what
I
was
asked
to
do
was
line
the
house
up
with
the
contiguous
house
I'm
built
towards
more
towards
the
back,
which
certainly
has
the
least
amount
of
impact
on
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
The
last
thing,
I
will
add,
is
the
buildable
footprint.
J
J
J
For
for
a
lack
of
trying,
I'm
dealing
with
people
from
all
over
the
world,
I'm
putting
a
bunch
of
different
technologies
together,
my
brother
has
his
own
building
system
in
Europe,
I'll
spare
you,
the
family
drama,
working
with
family.
Doesn't
it's
done
for
lack
of
trying?
I
am
and
do
it
in
the
next
two
years,
I.
G
I
G

E
B
E
E
I
I
B
E
D
30Th,
which
is
the
day
after
Memorial
Day,
we
will
be
upstairs
in
the
upstairs
conference
room,
so
the
expectation
of
the
city
manager
is
that
everyone
will
attend
from
this
board.
So
I
will
send
you
out
a
packet
of
information
as
soon
as
the
board
packet
is
available
for
BOC.
You
will
get
an
email
with
me
with
that
information.
It
will
include
the
agenda
and
a
radiation
of
the
same
thing.
I
just
said
that
you're,
the
mandatory
attendance
and
the
expectation
is
that
everyone
will
be
there.
G
A
Jackie
Turner
and
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
I,
was
on
the
citizens
Academy
the
first
class
and
wanted
to
become
active
in
the
community.
I
worked
for
Bay
care
and
behavioral
health
serving
the
behavioral
health
needs
of
colleges
throughout
the
state
and
native
Floridian.
One
of
the
rare
ones,
and
just
bluffing
in
Tarpon
want
to
do
that.
Well.
A
F
Sir,
my
name
is
John
Glenn's,
ER
and
I've,
been
in
Florida
longer
than
I've
been
anywhere
in
my
life.
I
was
raised
kind
of
the
Navy's.
My
dad
moved
me
around
quite
a
bit
and
my
career
kept
moving
me
around
quite
a
bit
and
through
being
in
Florida
long
enough
working
at
CB
business
home
in
ARPANET
14.
No
last
eight
years
now,
over
the
last
two
years,
Mabel
live
there
now.
F
I
I
The
process
would
be
contained
in
the
Code
of
Ordinances.
Please
check
out
I'm,
not
I,
don't
know
offhand
what
it
is,
but
I
had
to
spit
ball
and
don't
hold
me
through
this
I
want
to
say
it.
You
have
to
fill
within
30
days
if
the
decision
that
would
be
to
the
Appellate
Division
of
the
Fifth
Circuit,
maybe
I,
don't
know
it
might
be
to
the
BOC
I
have
to
look
it
up.
Aryans
are
very
pleased
for
weirdest
aspect:
I'm
30
to
20
feet.
