be indicating that their property is a parcel of record. Is it? I I wouldn't think so, but but they were saying it was developed before the land development land development code >> because it was part of an old an antiquated plat. >> Is that what it is? >> Yes. >> Gotcha. Thank you, ma'am. Is the

variance she talked about is just a little bit of stuff at the back. >> Uh the my compound is fully fenced. So whatever little adjustment is made at the park is not going to affect uh uh
either the price of houses there or neighbors or anything. So it's just a kind of little. So otherwise I know I've already sent in I made uh

Lake Markham Road there uh is is that like a soccer complex that that field there to the east? >> It looks like it, but I can't answer for sure. >> Gotcha. Or at least there there's that's that's not something that's going to be residentially developed anytime soon. >> It's I believe the Silvin Lake complex.

pine wayside in which the variance the five foot variance is being requested. This fence is 5t tall and is 1 foot over um the allowed in the front yard setback. Um it has been um approved by
traffic and engineering with no um relating to site visibility. It is zero feet from the sidewalk and 13 feet from the edge of pavement. There have not been any prior variances for the subject property. Um there have been other variances in the Cadence Park
plan development. Um they are they have been approved at 15 ft to 5t 15t to 5t and the last one was 15 feet to 8t. And this concludes my presentation. >> Gentlemen, any questions for staff? >> She read my mind. That was going to be a question I was going to ask. >> And I actually do have one.
>> Mr. Evans. Um, so it's noted that the the fence is 1 ft higher than allowed by code, but there's no variance request on the application for this. Is that >> we can ask it those two different ways. We could have asked for the height or the distance, and we're trying to be consistent in asking for the distance.
>> Okay. All right. So, it it really is something that planning took into consideration and absolutely >> beautiful. All right. That was that was all I had. >> Miss Hamilton, and this this may not be a fair question if I'm catching you flat-footed, but looking at the aerial and their neighbor to the west, do we
know how this requested fence compares to that fence or whether there was a variance for that one? >> Um, >> and I understand if you you might not have researched that. >> I'm going to defer to Angie Gates. >> Miss Gates. >> So, I reviewed the building permit on this and that actually the property
owner had the same question for me. This property that is seeking a variance doesn't have a tract around it. The adjacent property to the west does. So, making it not a corner lot. >> Gotcha. Thank you, ma'am. >> Any other questions for staff?
>> Is the applicant here? Anything you'd like to add, ma'am. You don't have to if you don't want to. >> Um, >> but if you do, we do need you. Sure. Okay. >> I do have a question. >> Okay. >> Sorry. >> And for the record, if you could please share uh your name and address.
>> Sure. I'm Lisa Epsarmer and I live at 707 Montter Cypress Trail in Sanford. >> Thank you, ma'am. Mr. Beigley, >> so putting it I saw you were zero feet. It's pretty much going to be on the sidewalk. Am I correct? Is we're not on
actually the the fence that belongs to the HOA is on my property >> for some strange reason. I never imagined that to be the case, but I was told that that fence, that small fence there is actually on my property.
>> Interesting. So, you're just going to look behind. I just want to kind of close in I'm I'm ab budding um Ronald Reagan which is a very busy street and that is I mean it's really open to my backyard you know so I'm just a little trying to
be a little secure here >> and that's all I'm trying to do is just closing the backyard. I'm not going to do anything with their fence. I'm just going to kind of >> just backyard or sideyard. Can you go back to the picture? the well uh the backyard will come to to
will extend to that fence and then the little front area which is right by the gate which I'm trying to be in complement to the gate. >> Is there going to be a gap between the HOA fence and your fence? Is there going to be >> not much? I mean
>> I'm just wor Okay, >> it's going to be an open fence. is going to be the same kind of fence in uh uh it's not one of those the big privacy fence like my neighbor has across the way. It's an open um what metal fence like the gate I guess the gate fence is
about five six feet it's as well. So that's why I was trying to complement that part of it as well. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Any other questions? Thank you ma'am. >> Anyone in the audience to speak in support of this matter? Seeing none.
Anyone in the audience to speak in opposition? Seeing none, gentlemen, your pleasure. >> Move to approve. >> Mr. Evans is moved to approve. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Mr. Beley seconds. All those in favor? I >> opposed. All right. Enjoy your fence, ma'am. >> Next, please.

Seeing none, gentlemen, your pleasure. >> Move to approve. >> Motion to approve, Mr. Beley. The second >> seconded. >> Seconded by Mr. Evans. All those in favor? >> I opposed. >> All right, enjoy. >> Number six, please. Item number six is a request for a northeast sideyard setback
variance from 10 ft to zero feet for a boat ramp in the R1A single family dwelling district in the Prairie Lake Park subdivision located at 317 South Street. The proposed boat ramp is 12t by 50 foot and will encroach 10 ft into the
required sideyard setback. A letter of support and consent to the construction of the boat ramp at 0 feet from the property line was received from the adjacent property owner located at 401 Prairie Lake Drive. There have not been any prior variances for the subject
property. And this concludes my presentation. >> Thank you, Madam Gentleman. Questions for staff? >> Seeing none, I see our applicant is here. Would you share your name and address, sir? >> Uh, good evening. My name is Jeremy Elliot. Uh, James Allen is no longer working with us, so I've taken his
place. uh representing the 317 South Street. >> Okay. What do you have to share, sir? >> Um essentially, we have uh been working diligently with the Donny residents to establish access to this private lake um for this portion of the neighborhood.
There is no access to any of the water. Um essentially, they have to go to the other side of the lake to another neighborhood uh to launch any sort of vessels. Uh the Donnie Hughes have taken it upon themselves to try to uh build a boat ramp for the neighborhood to be able to access the lake and launch personal vessels.
>> Um outside of that, the uh the one neighbor has uh has agreed to it. The lot was previously a single lot that had been subdivided. So, I'm currently waiting uh and working with the other neighbor to
uh for a fence application to install a seaw wall to shore up some of the existing structure that's there. >> So, some modifications as well as uh >> making uh structural >> uh repairs. >> All right. >> Um I have I'm sorry. I have a question.
Um this boat ramp is supposed to be for their personal use only, not the community boat ramp. >> Okay. It's it's on their personal property that they were paying for, but >> it's only supposed to be for them. >> Okay. >> That is from what I was understanding from. >> Yes, ma'am. I mean, it's on their personal property if any from what my
understanding with in my conversations with the Donnie Hughes if anybody needed to launch that they would they would be able to they would make it readily available for the people in the community. >> We can we can address that on our end. That's a fair point. >> I just wanted to make
I and that's a fair point. you I think I think probably we were thinking that also. >> A commercial boat ramp is completely different. >> Well, we can cross that bridge. Okay. Yeah, I think I think we we we've been in similar situations. Uh gentlemen, any questions for the applicants? Representative Mr. Evans.
>> Yeah. Um so I I I saw on the the survey, you know, there's going to be a demolition permit on the existing structure. So, I I guess I'm I'm sort of just trying to look for clarification on what the the diagram is currently showing. Um,
>> are you basically dredging out some of the existing uh earth to create more of an access for boat? >> Um, yes sir. If there's an existing wooden dock that's coming off that would be removed. There's an existing concrete landing that currently encroaches the
property line on both sides. >> Correct. Um and then we would be removing a portion of that existing concrete ramp to um the existing concrete dock to build our ramp. There would be there is a dredge and fill permit that's already applied for. I believe we're at 12 yards which just exceeds our 10 yard requirement. Um that
has been applied for and approved I believe or is still uh actively in review with the county. >> Um as as well as the St. John's Water Management District and all the other necessary reviews. >> Okay. >> Army Corps of Engineers uh etc. And that was that was really what I was looking
for and that's why it's asking for the variance because you're actually building an extension from the property line. >> The property line shrinks down so much there that it would essentially deem the existing dock useless if we tried to >> achieve and maintain those setbacks on
both sides. So uh the neighbor on the east side of the property here was kind enough to uh give him uh approval if you guys would be okay >> so kind to do so as well. >> All right. That's that was really my my big question was like are you actually able to dredge this out and make all that and make sure it was going forward.
So, thank you. >> Any other questions for the applicant? >> Thank you, sir. >> Thank you guys. I'm happy to if it needs to be a private ranch if we need to. Oh, I'm so sorry. If we need to put signage or whatnot, I I can totally privatize it. >> I I I appreciate that, but I think only
the applicant could bind themselves or that kind of an agreement. So, I I I follow, but I appreciate that. >> Thank you guys. >> And um but thank you. Uh, is there anyone here in the audience to speak in support? Seeing none, anyone in the audience to speak in opposition? Uh, you guys want to talk or do you want
to move to a motion? >> I'll move to motion for discussion. >> Sounds good. What's your motion? >> Move to approve. >> All right. Seconded. >> And it's seconded by Mr. Evans. Um, what are your thoughts? >> The the same thing that Angie had brought up is I hear that buzz red flag
buzz word is we just approved a public boat ramp. >> Yeah. >> On private property. We can't do that. And correct me if I'm wrong with the attorney with neck. We don't have that ability to do that. >> But we can't put a condition on our >> Absolutely. >> Mr. Evans, you were gonna say something.
>> That was kind of where I'm at, too. I mean, it the the project itself is, you know, um up for its own merit, but I think the commercial issue is by far the biggest issue we have here. >> Judge, you have thoughts? >> No. >> So, Mr. Beley, would you be open to amending your motion to making it
approval subject to personal use only? subject to personal use. Um, yes, because I correct me if I'm wrong, that's we cannot go forward and make a motion to say we can do what you know chair is asking but can't say for personal or for their use only just say
for personal use only. We can say for the property owner in the way for approval. >> So um their request is for a boat ramp on their personal property um for a variance. Okay. They're not they're just
asking for a variance to put the boat ramp in. That's what you guys have to consider. You can put a condition on that >> something along the lines of, you know, this is for residential use only. No, you know, commercial boat ramp use. I'm
trying to find in the code, did the code define define commercial boat ramp and >> resial? >> It's very limited on what the ramp does. >> Okay. >> I looked at boat ramp. So, I would just say, you know, the the boat ramp is for residential use only, you know, because
if they have somebody, their brother-in-law comes and wants to, you know, launch a boat in the water and they want to use their boat, then they can do that. >> It's more for personal use only, not commercial use or residential use only. >> We've been tripped up with language before. So,
>> yeah. So, that's what I would say. Angie, do you have any other suggestions? No, I I wouldn't think that it would be commercial because if it were commercial, would it not be? It would be receiving. It would just be like a personal use. But if it's a private lake, there's a
reason why it's a private lake, >> I would think. But I I don't know the legalities. >> Yeah. And we we're not here to control like who we don't control and who accesses them. Like that's up to the people around the lake. That is not where the county should be. Um, but we
can say as it pertains to the boat ramp, yes, we will approve you to have this, but it's for, you know, residential use only. No commercial use permitted. >> So, amend it just to say I um, like I said, make a motion to approve uh, with
my amendment would be for the uh, personal use for residential use only. >> Do we have a second? >> I second that. >> Second by Mr. Evans. Uh, y'all want to talk about anymore? I think we're pretty set. All those in favor? >> Opposed? All right. Enjoy.
>> Thank you guys. >> Thank you, sir. Number seven, please. >> Number seven is a variance request at 907 Spring Valley Road. It's a request for north sideyard setback variance from 10 ft to 1 ft for a boat dock located in the Spring Valley Farm section 8
neighborhood. This lot fronts on Spring Lake. It is shaped as a pies-shaped lot with the with the point of the pie being the lakefront um frontage. Um it will be 590 square feet. We have received letters of support from the adjacent neighbors on the north and south side

kidding. Just kidding. Mr. Evans, you >> I actually Yeah, >> I'm sorry. Would one of y'all please come down? We just Mr. Evans has one question. >> Not that you're limited to that. Of course. No. >> Yeah. >> I've got at least 332. >> And whomever's going to speak, if you could please show your name and address
with us. >> Maria Fury, 907 Spring Valley Road. >> Thank you. And um really I my my biggest question is and I I think you even got letters of support from your actual the tutor to your left, right? You got a letter of support.
>> Um >> but I mean I see at least three boat ramps, maybe two um that are currently on your neighbors to the left on that little inlet. >> Um this ramp on yours, I mean they will still be able to get in and
out to access their own. >> Yeah, it'll all be contained in our own property lines. That was that was really my my biggest concern. I mean, they it seemed like a stock letter. Um I just want to make sure that we had like measured it out and the depth of the water would be good for them to get around you. >> Yeah, it was plenty big.
>> Okay, that was all I had. Thank you. >> Any other questions for the applicant? Anything else you all want to add? >> All right. Thank you. Easy enough. >> Anyone in the audience like to speak in support? Seeing none, anyone in the Anyone in the audience to speak in opposition?
