have to um everything's reflected in the application but yeah we are our hardship is that we have an undersized lot and a growing family that is growing rapidly we're expecting our third in December um and so we're quickly running out of room in our 1200 S ft uh so this is basically just our effort to stay in the location that we're at we have wonderful neighbors we couldn't think of a better location and I've told my husband on multiple occasions I would like to be bued in the backyard so um we are hoping that this would get closer to accomplishing that goal um and yes what we're asking for is a of 44.4% um and load up of 35% which would allow us to have a shaded area for our kids in the back incorporate two bigger bedrooms for them as they goow into the home um and I think that and uh to update our carport from a garage um mostly for the benefit of our neighbors so we don't look as much like the clampet from across the street I just had one question for cl directly but you're asking for a combined side yard setback of 13.8 is that currently what you are with the front front door I believe actually you know what I'm not can we refer to my arctic on that question I'm not entirely look at that in front you have your sir please raise your right hand do you swear or affirm that the testimony you're about to give this matter is the truth or whole truth and nothing but the truth I do please state your name and address Roger Russell 3455 th Road Jacksonville Florida um we uh have taken in consideration of that we're not exceeding the existing footprint of the house with wise as far as our any additions or construction we're in line with the existing conditions thank you I I have a question uh on the application it says you're seeking lock coverage of 40% but you have uh the lot coverage of the pl takes you to 37.87 or 37.8% oh sorry could you repeat that so on your application oh the original application it was that changed yes it was updated before that April 24th deadline we met with our Builders and realized that we hadn't um Incorporated any space for like um Pao or outdoor space okay great great and does that include the um uh small shed the small shed is disappear yes great and uh have you talked to your neighbors yes uh overwhelmingly positive looking at the rear yard it looks like the L I will be about 18 to 19 ft from the rear fence I don't see any request here for a rear yard setback exception was there a prior exception or was that discussed with the city corer kind that was a later addition I'm not sure on their application if they oh it probably would have application says 13. your drawing shows 18. 13.8 is is the side yard to the rear yard I think you for what's pictured here need a rear yard setback as well for this zoning oh sorry I wasn't aware of that um we actually after the initial after we submitted theal application to get on the um docket through the hearing we met with um the builders who advised us to if we had any plans to Hardscape anything outside or do anything um Beyond just the two story Edition so a cover P something like that we added that in and submitted this survey um I think around April 22nd so that would have been after the original application date so I wasw that we needed to apply for another set back was this advertised as only the only the um the coverage and side the same question with that L Edition that still theck coverage they asking for yes because they're asking for 44.4 that's they em back but I think forgot to mention the 18 back did see the phys for see theud the 18 was never included in the advertisement um f mention that they told me cations only um the uh the lock coverage was on so we we don't know if there are neighbors who would object about that particular request because I never knew that it was made our our neighbors are pretty familiar with the plan that we we' discussed it with our neighbors immediately across from us and our two neighbors who we basically share friend with on either side of us so they know exactly what the plan is I know that's not official but um it's been discussed a lot in conversation is there lot there's a alley at least lock City didn't recognize those if you about City Lock they see addition okay question so I would just go back to this uh do we need a uh do they need VAR for see if we can improve it right now or do have to go to the next meeting what we want to postpone this until after further agem until we can confirm what the city planning I just mean if we want move to the next case and second um is there a motion to table um if it's if it's connect to the house then has to go theard if is she call can I make a motion to table this agenda item until later in the evening once we heard back from the city planner yes uh a motion I make a motion to do it's moved second so the motion is to table this right now pending um some research on our part um all in favor oppos okay don't go away the next case case number 24122 applicant Jacksonville prop 0 South 6th Avenue L 7 motion to consider section 34337 E1 C3 re air set back of 20 F 30 minum 34337 E1 for 41.8% lot cover Move 35 for construction of a new single

swear or affirm that the testimony about to give this matter is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth I do please St your name and address hunner one Independent Drive S400 Jacksonville Florida 32202 onal of the applicant um uh the applicant is uh seeking a two variances to the Land Development code to construct a new single family dwelling on lot seven uh this subject parcel currently is combined lot six and seven lot six has an existing variance which I but the variances are as follows a 20 foot rear yard setback and mo of a 30 foot U setback as required by rs2 zoning and 41.8% lot coverage in L of the required 35% um as as provided lot six already in uh is entitled with a variance from 2006 that grants 52% lot coverage in 35% an 18 foot rear yard set back and move at 30 and a 15 uh front yard set back and L the 20 the it should be noted for the board that the applicant is should is application be granted tonight is looking to build the same style site same style home on both Lots so he's not taking it out to the maximum of what is already available in lot six he's looking to BU build two similar situated homes on both Lots um uh so stated the lot six variant is already in place um both lots are are non-conforming lots of record they were pled somewhere around 1922 and uh they are now substandard to what is required per the current C code rs2 Lots require a minimum of 7500 foot and lot area and minimum width of 75 ft both of these Lots uh are 50 ft wide and some just as a little less than 5,000 square ft each um pursuant to the zoning code uh and the criteria set forth for approving variances uh as noted in the staff report and uh by the applicant uh the standards are met as with regards to approving a variance uh as as provided in the staff report as I just stated both lots are substandard uh the width required width of 75 ft reant 50t wide lot uh with regards to lot 7 uh substandard in lot area there's only 4965 Square 74 Square ft when it requires 7500 so the special circumstances do exist as far as the first criteria the special circumstances of the parcel do not result from the actions of the applicant as provided before these are two uh non-conforming lots of recordan they have ex they have been legally in existence since prior to the implementation of the latest uh zoning code and excuse me the granting the third uh criteria the granting of the variant will on any special privileges um as noted in the staff report and as we've uh conducted the due diligence ourselves there is a current variants granting more than what is being requested tonight on lot six um if you look immediately to the West at 614 6th Avenue South U I don't know the exact numbers but they they uh from the gis it's apparent that they have at least a variance with regard to loot coverage with the existence of the large swimming pool and um impervious area in the backyard of that property there are other similarly situated properties that are visible from the gis in the area uh that would seem to indicate maybe a few more in existence in the neighborhood U the fourth criteria is also satisfied literal interpretation of the code would describe the applicant of the rights and privileges enjoyed by others uh as stated uh these are nonconforming lots in width and size construct uh the proposed site plan uh does require applying for variants uh we are looking to build just a little over 1800 foot house so not building the Taj Mall not building out to the maximum that we possibly can not intruding on the front yard variant not intruding on the side yard setbacks either um just rear yard and the rear yard is only being the rear yard uh setback variance is only being requested to compensate for a covered Leni which will be attached to the property but it's not going to be the actual uh uh wall of the of the house that extends all the way to that part back in the property um the fifth criteria it's also been met granting these variances are the minimum variances needed to construct a new seel Family Residence U the proposed site plan we are we are Towing the line as for what is requested by the Builder he's not requesting a buffer so that he can potentially build out is what is shown on what is being requested tonight and lastly granting of the variances will be consistent with the purposes goals objectives and policies of the comprehensive plan and it will be this is going to be um consistent with the land with the FL land use uh or the future landuse map excuse me um density is not being changed it's a new single family dwelling um so we think that we are of the opinion as a staff that all six criteria for approving the variances have been met and stand by for any questions M have any questions I have none okay uh you step back I'll now open the public hearing do we have any speaker cards starts okay uh seeing those speaker cards I'll close the public hearing and bring the item back to the board for discussion is there a motion make a motion to approve boa 24102 based on testimony evidence provided the request is met all stand for variance outl section 34286 development code second second discussion straight forward I think he covered everything I think he cover the de I think the only area of concern I have in the initial read was the rear yard setback and revie for theot it's clear that if it was appropriate with the dep is also shallow and I think it's uh probably neighborhood's best interest that the set back Beed from the rear yard the front yard for safety concerns as you travel down the street so I think it's it's very well appro foring reason use of property okay any other comments okay we have a roll call B Jeff TR yes yes Jennifer Williams yes John Mor yes owly yes okay your request has been approved um we call the other one answer that for the Senor plan um since um wasn't advertised adver we need do ad yeah on the earliest I can get on the board is July that one number12 Christopher okay so uh we'll leave it up to you what you want to do you can ask for a postponement but we can't Grant you a variance or consider the variance for the backyard because it hasn't been advertised so we've been advised we can get you back here in front of us is July yes July I'm advertising like 15 days before the uh actual meeting so it'll have to advertise it um next week on June 11th okay I guess that's what we got to do okay um if that sounds like a reasonable proposal is there a motion to postpone this to July a motion to move to July okay it's been moved in second um any discussion should we do more should we do more right okay can we have a do we need a yeah Tod Smith Jam yes joh Mor yes Jeff yesy yes okay uh you're postponed till July 2 and then the

state your name and address handy 10 my hearing is really bad so when you got speak to me try to get close to your mic sometimes so say okay so we built the swiming pool which is permitted and thank you Joe's for that by way um we originally moved in the house we weren't at 35% we were at somewhere around 37 because the Builder or the city or The Architects messed up on some sidewalk space so we're actually going from 37 to 41 even though we never got the variance for the first time around to move in the house right so we're basically 3 3 and half% for some sidewalk between the pool and the house and that would be the West End of the pool so about 25 ft of sidewalk on the North End of the pool and about 15 ft of sidewalk on the west end of the pool and then Rock in shells and trees and otherwise around the rest of the pool so that's what we're asking for is just to go to that 41 Point whatever it is on the on the drawing basically just to add some side and my question is you mentioned something that when you built the house you approve at 38 yeah we it was not approved we bought the house I'm sorry okay yeah we bought the house originally and it was at 37 whatever and the either the city missed it or the architect missed it the building missed everybody missed so that's from 35 to 41 that's not really that big of a jum So currently it's 37. correct correct correct correct so that's basically the long short have you talked to your neighbors yeah I can't hear but I can talk to tr not text each other because that's all anybody else have any questions can you describe the hardship on the lot for us please sir the hardship on the lot it's just a short it's a smaller lot trying to get a little bit more room here you don't get so much you they take 20 ft off one side and you you lose a lot of a lot of usable space there so you just ask for the hardship for questions so currently the pool is installed you don't have a walkway around is that correct correct
