Mr. Meachum questioned the accuracy of the submitted site plan and the fact that the applicant has not determined signage criteria. The applicant’s architect addressed the Board and stated that the site plan submitted is a general representation of the planned project and the criteria for signage will be followed. Upon a question from Mr. McConnell regarding the prospect of another doorway being established to allow the handicapped parking to be moved further east, the applicant’s architect responded that there will be new doors installed but the doorways will remain on the Gulf Boulevard side but that there has been discussion pertaining to moving the handicapped parking further east. Upon a statement by Mr. McConnell in which he asked that if the approval was of the present configuration or a similar configuration which permitted the handicapped parking further to the east, could that be done without the submission of a new site plan, the CI Director responded that this could be included in the motion if the first and second person’s agreed to amend the motion.

For clarification, the amended motion as agreed by Mr. Harris and Ms. Partridge reads: to approve the site plan modification in accordance with the submitted site plan excluding signage and subject to staff conditions and recommendations and to include the caveat that if the owner wished to modify the handicapped parking spots there would be no need for a new site plan to be presented to the Board.

PZ-2015-12-V STAFF REPORT March 19, 2015; 2:00 p.m.; Planning and Zoning Board 120 108th Avenue – City Hall Auditorium PROPERTY OWNER: Gary Dybul 712 Huntington Pines Dr. Ocoee, FL 34761 AGENT: Sean Roney, Roney Design Group 535 Central Avenue, Suite M-1 St. Petersburg, FL 33701 REQUEST: A variance request to reduce the north side yard setback from 7.5 feet to 3.83 feet to install an addition. This variance will increase the living area 18 sq. feet on both the 1st floor and 2nd floor and allows for the alignment with the existing side wall of the house. GENERAL INFORMATION: Location: 318 Bay Plaza Land Use: Residential Medium Zoning: RM-15 Adjacent Property (Use): North: 312 Bay Plaza – single dwelling unit South: 324 Bay Plaza – 3 dwelling units East: Boca Ciega Bay West: Smugglers Cove of Sunset Beach Condo 215 85th Avenue 8 dwelling units Site Area: 4500+/- square feet Flood Zone: AE 11, Flood Insurance Rate Map Community Panel No. 12103C0257G, September 3, 2003. 1 Site Legal: Herron’s Sub, No. 8, Lot 25 Parcel #: 25-31-15-38448-000-0250 BACKGROUND: The structure was built in 1941. The subject structure is 2 stories in height and non-FEMA compliant. Also on the site is a detached, semi-finished structure approximately 300 square feet in size located close to the seawall. This accessory structure is also non-FEMA compliant This lot previously held a local business tax receipt for 3 dwelling units. The detached semifinished structure served as one unit and the 2-story house provided for 2 units. The rental of units ended in 2008. The applicant purchased this property in May 2013. The applicant proposes to remove all of the illegal construction from the rear of the 2-story house. The illegal construction includes the balcony, porch area, and staircase. Due to water damage and deterioration, the applicant needs to reconstruct the existing rear wall of the residence. He will also establish a structurally safe, open 2nd floor balcony on the rear. There are also structural changes that he wishes to make to complete the conversion from a 2-unit structure to a single family structure. While it is not rented or used as a 2-family structure, the interior alterations of the structure were never completed. STAFF ANALYSIS – VARIANCE REQUEST: 1. The variance is in fact a variance as set forth within the Land Development Regulations and within the province of the Planning and Zoning Board based upon the opinion of the City Manager or his designee. The variance being requested is set forth within the Land Development Regulations and under the purview of the Planning and Zoning Board. 2. Special conditions or circumstances exist which are peculiar to the building, structure, or land for which the variance is sought and do not apply generally to buildings, structures, or lands in the same district. Section 68-431, Schedule of lot and bulk regulations describes the dimensional requirements of the RM-15, Residential Medium District. The restrictions and controls intended to regulate the property development characteristics of each zoning district are set forth in the following schedule of lot and bulk regulations supplemented by other sections of this chapter: 2 District/Use Minimum Lot Width (Feet) Minimum Lot Depth (Feet) Minimum Lot Area (Square Feet) Maximum Density Dwelling Units (Per Acre) Maximum Building Height (Above BFE +2 feet of freeboard) 90 90 90 4,500 6,000 9,000 35 35 35 Group Homes (licensed) 70 90 (Excl. ACLF's) Maximum lot coverage in all districts: 50% Impervious surface ratio—RM-15: 70% 9,000 9 11 15 (2 living levels max.) 15 (2 living levels max.) RM-15 Residential Medium Dwelling, Residential Single-family Two-family Multiple-family 40 50 70 35 The subject lot is 50 feet x 90 feet. The lot is 4500 sq. ft. This is the minimum area for an RM-15 lot. The applicant proposes to make improvements to the 2-story structure to better establish its use and function as a single family home. In making those modifications, it is appealing to the applicant and designer to “square off” the house by allowing the side wall to be the same width for the entire structure rather than inset toward the rear of the building. 3. Strict application of the provisions of the land development regulations would not permit the applicant reasonable use of the building; structure, or land. A literal interpretation of the Land Development Regulations continues to provide the property owners’ full use of the subject site with a habitable structure and an outbuilding in the rear waterfront yard. 4. The peculiar conditions and circumstances existing are not the result of the actions of the applicant, the applicant’s agents, or the applicant’s predecessors in title. There were a number of actions by predecessors in title that influenced the layout of the living structure, the number of rental units on the site, and the unpermitted balcony and porch areas at the rear of the 2-story structure. Lack of attention to maintenance has led to the deteriorated condition of the rear and side wall where the applicant is seeking to align with the existing exterior wall of the structure. 5. The variance proposed to be granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the building, structure, or land. The variance is being requested for a small addition into the side yard (toward the rear portion of the house) to align with the existing side wall. The proposed addition will provide for 18 square feet on the 1st floor and 18 square feet on the 2nd floor. The minimum variance would be zero feet because the house exists and functions without any additional encroachment into the side yard. 3 6. Owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement would result in unnecessary hardship. Special conditions to be considered pursuant to this section of the land development regulations shall include, but not be limited to, the following circumstances: Redevelopment. If the proposed project involves the redevelopment or utilization of an existing developed or partially developed site. Substandard Lot(s). If the proposed project involves the utilization of an existing legal nonconforming lot(s). Neighborhood Character. If the proposed project promotes the established development pattern of a block face, including setbacks, building height, and other dimensional requirements. Public Facilities. If the proposed project involves the development of public parks, public facilities or public utilities. Architectural and/or engineering considerations. If the proposed project utilizes architectural and/or engineering features that would render the project more disaster-resistant. Comments: 7. Redevelopment – Applicable. The applicant wishes to remodel the 2-story structure with permits to ensure it is a functional, safe single family house Substandard Lot(s) – This property is not substandard for the RM-15 district. Neighborhood Character– The character of the neighborhood will not change as a result of this variance. The encroachment is no greater than currently exists in the side yard. Public Facilities – Not applicable Architectural and/or engineering considerations – The proposed improvement will not provide for a more disaster-resistant dwelling unit. The improvement will remove unpermitted construction and deteriorated walls which exist currently. The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this chapter. The use of the property as single family is in conformance with the zoning and future land use assignment for the property. The location of the site is residential in character. Formerly as a 2-unit structure, this 2-story building was considered a non-conforming use. The reduction of north side yard setback from 7.5 feet to 3.83 is less than the smallest side yard setback of 5 feet permitted within the City of Treasure Island. 8. The granting of the variance will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. It is unlikely that granting this variance will be injurious to the neighborhood. The side yard is already partially blocked by an existing side wall of the structure. The newly proposed addition aligns with that same exterior wall. No greater encroachment occurs in the side yard; however this action is considered an extension of any existing non-conformity on the site. 4 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends DENIAL of the variance request to reduce the north side yard setback from 7.5 feet to 3.83 feet to install an addition. This variance will increase the living area 18 sq. feet on both the 1st floor and 2nd floor and allows for the alignment with the existing side wall of the house based on the following: This is a self-imposed hardship. This variance request constitutes an extension of any existing non-conformity on the site. Should the Planning and Zoning Board wish to APPROVE this request for a variance to reduce the north side yard setback from 7.5 feet to 3.83 feet to provide for an addition; the approval would be based on the following: The proposed encroachment will not block anyone's view. encroachment of the same width in the same side yard. There is already an Conditions for approval: The applicant shall complete the conversion of the 2-story structure to a single family house through interior modifications which brings this use into conformity with the land use and zoning assignments. The applicant shall remove the illegal construction currently attached to the rear of the 2story structure to provide for a safer building. Upon conclusion of this renovation, there shall only be one Duke Energy electric meter on the site and the existing 220V power supply to the accessory structure must be removed. CASE PZ 2015-12V REQUEST: A variance request to reduce the north side yard setback from 7.5 feet to 3.83 feet to install an addition. This variance will increase the living area 18 sq. feet on both the 1st floor and 2nd floor and allows for the alignment with the existing side wall of the house.

The Owner of this property is requesting an approval of a variance to the RM-15, side yard setback regulations, to allow for a side yard setback encroachment (1st & 2nd floor) from 7.5 ft. to 3.83 ft. The total encroachment will be no more than 18 sq. ft. (each floor) and will align with the existing side walls of the residence as shown on attached Proposed Site Plan (2/C1). The addition will not encroach more than the current building encroachments and will maintain a clear access path that the side yard currently has. The lot size is 50' wide x 90' deep, with an area of 4,500 sq. ft. 2. The existing main residence currently encroaches into the side yard setback. By aligning the new addition with the existing side wall, we will be keeping the building in square and also aligning existing roof lines continuously to match the existing architectural design of the residence. The existing rear walls of the residence (interior & exterior) appear to be dilapidated and neglected, leading to extensive water damage, in addition to substandard construction methods. By allowing for the addition, the new walls will be constructed to meet and exceed all building code requirements for hurricane and moisture distresses to the structure, (see attached existing photos of residence) 3. Since the existing main residence already encroaches into the side yard setback, and by following the current side yard setback regulations, the new addition will have to step towards the interior of the lot. This would create the addition to not align with the existing structure and would make it out of square, resulting in a difficult structural solution with roof and walls not matching the existing shape and architectural design. Furthermore, the interior uses for each room would create greater non-functioning spaces than currently exists. 4. The existing building does not meet the current setback regulations, therefore these conditions are not a result of the actions of the applicant or agent. 5. We believe this variance request is the minimum required to help develop and maintain the architectural features to the rear of the existing residence, without imposing any sight restrictions to neighboring properties. By doing so, we are aligning with the existing side wall and encroaching no more than 5 ft. past the existing rear wall (18 sq. ft. max.) 6. Special conditions: a. This property currently has (3) separate meters. With approval of the variance request, we will be converting this property to a single family use to follow the required zoning regulations and reduce the number of meters from 3 to 1. In addition, we are removing the existing 220V power supply that currently feeds the existing detached frame structure in the rear. We are also removing the south side entrance and steps into the residence, resulting in a front and rear entrance to follow single family home design patterns. Furthermore, we will also be eliminating the existing rear wood balcony, roof, stairs and 1st Floor covered and open deck areas since they were not permitted and are determined to be in conflict with the addition and not structurally sound to meet or exceed current building code regulations. By taking these actions, our intention is to bring the entire property in compliance with a single family use, and have no resemblance of a multi-family use. b. The existing building was constructed by previous setback regulations which are not relevant to current setback regulations. Therefore, in order to construct an addition, a variance would be required to align with the existing building and make it structurally square. c. The existing neighborhood has many non-conforming structures in this zoning district, ie: rear and sides of buildings not meeting the required setbacks. Furthermore, there are neighboring seawalls that encroach past the property line that raise question. d. This is not a public project. e. As stated above, this project has been designed to meet the existing architectural style and structural design by aligning and squaring off with the existing side wall of the residence. 7. The granting of this variance will be in harmony with the intent of the code in order to provide relief to structures with hardships, while at the same time develop an attractive architecturally and structurally designed home. 8. The granting of this variance will enhance the character of the neighborhood and we feel the addition will not be detrimental to the public welfare since all the work is being constructed in the rear of the property which is consealed by fences and not accessed by the public. We ask for your thoughtful consideration of this variance request, as we feel that it will have little or no adverse effect to the neighboring properties or the city, as well as, stay within the neighborhood character and architectural style of the building. It will also bring the entire property in compliance to a single family use as described in detail in section (a.) Special Conditions.
