00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:37.759
He's been sending me job leads. My baby mama needs to get >> All right. >> Is everyone ready? >> All right. Good evening everybody and welcome to the May 2026 Simino County Board of Adjustment meeting. Uh before we get

2
00:01:37.759 --> 00:01:54.560
into the first matter, allow me please just to share with you our policies and procedures. As we move down the agenda, staff will introduce each item for consideration. If there is something here that you'd like to speak on and you are not the applicant, uh please fill out one of the forms that's in the lobby

3
00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:09.039
and hand it to the clerk who's sitting up front here. Uh as we move along, the applicant and the applicant supporters will be heard first. Those in opposition will be heard next. Uh if if the situation calls for it, we'll also allow

4
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:26.959
the applicant to have a rebuttal. We like comments to be restricted to just what's uh before the board tonight. We don't get into personal disputes or homeowners disputes or any of those kinds of things. And always remember our golden rule is treat others as you'd like to be treated. We run a polite uh

5
00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:42.720
civil discourse at these meetings. If you're an individual, you'll have three minutes to speak. If you represent a group, and I mean a real group, you'll have six minutes to speak. Uh, as we as we move along the agenda, don't

6
00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:59.360
be surprised if we ask questions of staff, of you, or even each other. Any information that you share will be kept as part of the record. And if you bring something to the meeting uh that is a digital item, we just ask that you send a copy to staff afterwards.

7
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:15.920
Uh, once we've heard everything, I'll ask for a motion from the board. There might be discussion, but when that is all finished, we'll have a vote. And if someone does not speak their vote, that's they are considered to have voted in favor of the matter. And at the end

8
00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:31.280
of this, at the end of each matter, if you are not pleased with our ruling, uh you can appeal it to the board of county commissioners and the process for that can be explained to you by staff after the meeting. So with that, item number one, please.

9
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:45.680
>> Good evening. For the record, JM Moreno, Planning and Development. Item number one is a variance request for 125 Trinity Assembly Circle that was continued from last month. The request is for a front yard setback variance

10
00:03:45.680 --> 00:04:01.920
from 10 ft to 7 ft for a sign and an existing church in the A5 zoning district. The request is to bring into compliance the construction of a 15 foot tall by 9 ft 10in wide monument sign

11
00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:17.519
encroaching 10 ft into the required 10- ft front yard setback. The sign which fronts County Road 419 was constructed in February 2026 with an approved building permit placing the

12
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:34.160
sign at 10 ft from the front property line. However, when it was constructed, it failed final inspection as it was constructed 7 ft from the front property line resulting in the necessity of this variance. A community meeting was held

13
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:50.400
on April 6, 2026. The meeting details have been included in the agenda packet for your reference. Three letters of opposition have been received from nearby property owners and provided to you for your consideration.

14
00:04:50.400 --> 00:05:06.000
This concludes my presentation. I'm available for any questions. >> Thank you, ma'am. Any questions for staff? >> Mr. Chair, >> sir. >> Uh the sign right now, is that under active uh code right now? >> No. >> No. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Any other questions? >> Yes, sir. >> Sure.

15
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:22.160
>> Um, >> Mr. Evans, Mr. >> Um, one of the uh letters of opposition noted that there is a possible takeover. Have we confirmed that? >> No. >> Okay. Um, then that that >> Mr. Right. >> Um I just want to I know there was three

16
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:38.400
letters of opposition. >> Yes. >> One of them the ones on my thing here look like they're two of them are from the same people. >> Yes. But they send that at different times. >> Okay. >> But it's the same. >> Okay. Thank you. Um the other question I have for step is um in the applicant's

17
00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:55.520
um explanation for the variance the criteria that we usually use. Number two under the special conditions and circumstances. Um, I think that's what it showed us. Let me make sure. >> It says that they indicated that the

18
00:05:55.520 --> 00:06:11.919
sign location was previously inspected and approved at the footer stage by our county. Is that a true statement? >> As far as I know, they the final inspection was the one that they they got denied at and that's why we're here. >> And I understand we're not the building

19
00:06:11.919 --> 00:06:27.280
department here, but normally there is a process where they do inspect footers and that kind of stuff. So, >> right. you know, I'm just I'm just trying to validate, you know, from that, >> right? >> And I understand with the footer, but I I believe probably what happened as soon as they went vertical is where they exceeded.

20
00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:44.000
>> Understood. But and have no argument here, but when they're building a house footprint, >> it doesn't come down to whether it's vertical or not. It's whether the foundation is in the right process. So So I just I'll ask the applicant if they come back up. Thank you. >> Uh let me dovetail on your question and

21
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:59.120
for the county attorney's office, M. Mr. Mchugh. Uh, am I correct in my thinking that even at some point if staff had told them this is correct that an applicant cannot rely on an incorrect statement by staff to support something

22
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:16.240
that violates the land development code? >> That's a good question. Um, >> my understanding is yes, but >> I would my inclination is yes as well. Um ultimately you have to rely on what what's in the actual text of the code

23
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:31.360
itself >> and if there is an error omission on staff uh can't necessarily rely completely on that unless you know there's some sort of equitable estoppel or something like that but um beyond that no >> gotcha thank you sir any other questions

24
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:47.280
for staff >> I have one more >> yes sir Mr. Um and and if you don't know, it's totally fine. But um as part of the checking for the footers, is there a checklist that the county uses so that they do measure the setbacks or is it just No. >> Okay. >> Thank you.

25
00:07:47.280 --> 00:08:03.120
>> All right. And I'm so sorry. Let me clarify. Is that No, we don't know or no, there isn't a checklist. >> No, I haven't seen a checklist. >> Okay, perfect. Thank you. Is the applicant here? >> Yes, sir. Do you have anything you'd like to add? So, hi. >> If so, please come on down to the uh to the podium.

26
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:18.960
>> Sorry, first line, sir. >> No, that's that's okay. And if you'd please share with us your uh name and address for the record. >> Uh my name is Kenchit. I'm representing White Sign Company. We are the one who installed the sign. Uh I recently joined this company. Uh I took over this

27
00:08:18.960 --> 00:08:36.719
project like five five days ago when the new owner from City Church, she reached out to me and she informed me that you have to move the signs because there's a pending invoice. So I came in the uh line I came in the scenario like hey what's going on what's happening and then my owner Joe White he informed me

28
00:08:36.719 --> 00:08:52.959
hey it it needs to be go on the variance because of the sign has uh less two or 3 ft of setback and I just got this information and I this morning I asked my owner same same question what the church was asking here say when the county people come out for the footer

29
00:08:52.959 --> 00:09:08.959
inspections they normally tell us because you know they typically know where the property setback is in Many counties that I have worked in the past, they just tell us like, "Hey, this is not your setback. I mean, you just dig the hole in the wrong place, so we should not pour the concrete there." In this case, I asked my owner like, "Hey,

30
00:09:08.959 --> 00:09:25.760
how much it cost us to move two to three ft." My owner just informed me, I I I don't know exactly because I wasn't part of this project when the sign was installed. He told me it cost them $20,000 because it's pure concrete. We dig like we did the spread footing. The sign is 15 ft tall, 108 ft 8 in wide. So

31
00:09:25.760 --> 00:09:41.839
it cost us like around 20 $22,000 to do a concrete and it cost us a lot to you know remove the concrete and move the sign just to two to three ft setbacks and I said like okay I can represent uh the company in the board meeting and see if we can get a variance because it's not about money just about like I agree

32
00:09:41.839 --> 00:09:57.760
with the rules there should be a setback but I was expecting a city persons when they come out for photo inspection they would just tell us hey it was it should not approve because uh it's it's on the wrong place or you know the setback wasn't required. So, I'm just not like, you know, picking up on the city's food

33
00:09:57.760 --> 00:10:14.160
inspections who came out to do that. Something is not right. But, you know, we asked the board to just allow us to leave the sign there because it's going to cost us to remove the signs, put a new signs, move the signs. It's going to cost us $30 $35,000. Um, I check I check with the existing

34
00:10:14.160 --> 00:10:29.600
the new owner. Um, I forgot her name, but she called me. She's okay with the signs. We just have to change the name when she took over. But the problem is we cannot close for final and the previous owner cannot pay us our invoice because of the we have to finalize our

35
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:46.240
permit. So there is a reason I came here to ask board if they allow us to you know pass the variance and leave the sign there and go from there. I'm just >> all right. Uh any questions >> Mr. Chair? Yes sir. when I understand,

36
00:10:46.240 --> 00:11:02.640
sir, that you just took this uh project over. Uh so you may or may not know this, which is fair. Uh when this was and and I see that you had in our packet, I saw that you had a community meeting uh for this and you brought people in. Was there any chance that by chance that you put some stakes out and

37
00:11:02.640 --> 00:11:19.200
said, "Hey, this is this is the area we're going to sit in for our footprint for the sign or was it what was the community exactly told during this meeting for visual, you know, for visuals?" >> Yeah. So there was a previous I mean let me tell you a back story. There was a previous manager Brienne Rivera. I

38
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:35.920
joined the company in February uh at beginning of February. I took over a couple of projects but I heard about these issues on the background like when they talking there is a issue with the setback. So I thought like the problem was solved because I wasn't part of the conversation. So I before the guy the previous project manager he left the

39
00:11:35.920 --> 00:11:51.839
company he didn't tell me about that issue. Uh but suddenly someone just called me randomly said like hey they want to speak to a PM and that was last week so uh they called me said like hey they want to speak to a PM about this job and I said like okay what what is and they just say city charge and I select >> I'm sorry PM means what

40
00:11:51.839 --> 00:12:08.240
>> project manager got yeah so they just told me like hey we have an issue with the city church sign and I said I do remember about that conversations that like couple of weeks back that between my owner and the previous PM who is no longer with the company. So I just I was looking for my uh owner and then he left uh for the day but then I talked to him

41
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:23.279
next day and said like hey what's going on I heard about this thing um that you know new owner wants the new sign is there but there is a variance problem here and he gave me a backstory like what happened and I on Friday he gave me a print out of the meeting because it looks like we missed the meeting the

42
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:39.839
previous month which I wasn't aware with the project and maybe my owner was maybe out of town or he missed the meeting but since I took over because the new owner wants to uh put a new sign there and I want to help her and I I want to help a company. So I just stepped in and I said like okay let me dig in that let me just

43
00:12:39.839 --> 00:12:56.639
find out what's the basic issue and I understand like hey we have to follow the county's rules and regulations to put any sign anywhere not only this county every counties on every every state so every every area so they just gave me a just a little bit of informations and when my owner was

44
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:13.519
giving me information I just asked him same questions like hey when the food was dig for inspection why didn't tell us like normally they always tell us like hey it's wrong place you're too close to the property line or you're too close to the curb. Those kind of questions always come like before we pour the concrete and he said like he he

45
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:29.440
doesn't know why. So he never told us. >> So understanding is that you from what you're understanding from your previous predecessor is you guys came in you applied you did put an application in with semino county. >> Yes. >> Yes. Yes they did. That's why we was approved. Yes.

46
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:44.560
>> Uh I mean permit wise or >> Yes. Permit wise it was approved. >> That is correct. >> You continued work. some of the things started to come in they came out and did it final and then that's when it was caught that it was uh that's when it was caught that it was uh it violated the setback correct

47
00:13:44.560 --> 00:14:01.120
>> I would say yes the setbacks I mean typically setbacks can be uh you know identified when they come out for inspection for food or for the final when we call a final inspection they normally typically come out for finishing of the signs whatever we proposing the sign is taller wider wherever they put the sign like bottom

48
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:16.240
line is like if you're showing like 10 by 10 foot signs is that Pinistan by foot. Is there electrical? Is there a power? So they come out for final to just make sure everything was proposed or installed per court. >> I do applaud though that there's a project manager on this. We see a lot of the times up here on the board where there's not.

49
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:31.440
>> It is just a company. It's just one person, two person, onesie, twzies. I do applaud though that there's a project manager involved with this to at least see this through so properly. So I >> and I totally agree with that. I'm not like you know defending my companies or I'm not defending anyone else.

50
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:47.040
>> Wrong is wrong. I mean I'm I'm not saying we have to like you know follow the rules what the set setback was there. Many times we struggle for the setback because the old property we don't have a site plan and we have to struggle we have to ask the company in this particular case uh it was just like

51
00:14:47.040 --> 00:15:04.560
because of the length the w the width of the sign maybe the installer dig on the wrong place or maybe 2 3 ft they just didn't realize where the setback was or maybe miscommunications from my previous manager sides. I would I would agree with that as well. Uh right now my my priority is to help the new owner uh get

52
00:15:04.560 --> 00:15:21.199
a variance approved if possible and uh you know rectify these issues and help previous owner new owner and my companies and solve. >> Thank you. >> Any other questions? >> Yes sir. >> Mr. Evans. >> So you know sitting and listening you know the

53
00:15:21.199 --> 00:15:38.399
you know correct me if if I'm wrong. The bulk of the argument is you know we want to get this project completion. It was a mistake, but we're we're hoping to just kind of push it through to make everybody in the county happy. How do you sort of weigh that against your application here where all six of

54
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:55.440
the variance criteria that are listed have nothing to do with uh speed or, you know, not having to spend the money, but it's about visibility and traffic designations and even safety. we we noted uh vehicular safety for being able

55
00:15:55.440 --> 00:16:11.199
to turn the ingress egress on time. So I mean how do you kind of measure that against your your discussion here? So typically when we propose the sign uh as a PM uh if any projects that we propose any signs we work with the client and we show them like hey where the sign should go based on the uh criteras of like

56
00:16:11.199 --> 00:16:27.680
minimum setbacks where the more visibility for the people who are driving by and we also make sure like there is enough visibility for the cars turning in and out so the to avoid any accidents on those things. I visited the property last Friday and from my personal opinion I'm not saying like I

57
00:16:27.680 --> 00:16:43.519
could be right but I I didn't feel any hazard uh uh things over here to just uh because of the sign is 2 to 3 ft inside this property setback because there is a walking area there there is a curb there there is in enough visibility for the signs so cars can uh come in and go out

58
00:16:43.519 --> 00:17:00.560
I mean if there is a visibility problems I'm happy to I mean because we have to make a new sign for the new owner I'm happy to reduce the sign height if I need it. So I I I think the there's there's a miscommunication. So the actual variance criteria you have here, whoever filled out your your application for this basically said the sign has to

59
00:17:00.560 --> 00:17:16.000
stay at 7 ft because of visibility issues. If they move it back, people won't know the church is there. >> Whereas you're saying, hey, I I didn't see anything at 7 ft. >> Yeah, I didn't feel but yeah. No, I mean all of the application here says very very clearly that we must have it at

60
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:30.720
seven instead of 10 because it's a visibility issue. >> We didn't hear any of that argument today. Yeah. So in that case because I didn't know about the application what exactly was proposed on that but as I said the sign is 15t if I would I have a drawing. So the bottom portion if you assign if you see that that's a 3 ft

61
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:46.000
black portion of the sign and the top portion is around 105 in tall. I mean, if there's a visibility issue by 3 ft uh the height wise because I have to make a new sign for the new owner, I would I would more prefer to, you know, just remove the bottom piece of the cabinet,

62
00:17:46.000 --> 00:18:02.320
the black and I can just use the top like uh 9 ft tall cabinet for more visibility. It it costs less for me to replace the new cabinet instead of doing new foundation that cost around $22,000. That's that's only like you know agreement or request I can do that

63
00:18:02.320 --> 00:18:19.280
because the sign doesn't have any you know a branding thing because a city chart so there can be variance in the design so I can work with the new owner and I can make a change on the design if I need to. >> You've you've been working on this project for 5 days

64
00:18:19.280 --> 00:18:34.640
>> probably four days I would say. >> Who else is here from your company or from your client? >> I'm the only person right now. I would suggest if your client is watching live on television right now that it would better suit them in the future to send someone who knows the history of this

65
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:49.919
for example my question is is that sign where it is right now because your client said I want it there or because your company made a mistake >> I would say my company made a mistake because see normally as I say like a site plan has a property line informations and when we have the site

66
00:18:49.919 --> 00:19:05.760
plan we should my company should know I'm I'm not like you know defending my company but my company should know where the property line is what will be the setback and then they start digging because normally when we apply for the permit we mark with the red X or something we mark the location where it needs to be dig. So it is our

67
00:19:05.760 --> 00:19:22.559
responsibility to make sure we go uh wherever we show the setback. So when we when we when we do the setback let's say if the sign is 10t and when we put a setback 10 ft from the property line we go here but if the sign is like 10t wide so the hole of the like a foundation

68
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:37.679
it's in the center like 10t but you know the pole covers the base is like 10t so that makes like you know when we dig as a support of the sign it's like 10t from the property line but you have a bigger base. So in this case like if you see it's not like a base only it's like

69
00:19:37.679 --> 00:19:54.799
entire sign you can call it entire sign you cannot call like you know just base in the center thing it's a spread footing so there is a I hear you so but but my question my next question then would be apart from saving money what is the reason to move to leave the

70
00:19:54.799 --> 00:20:12.160
sign where it is um I don't see any reason to leave the sign there I mean I I could say one reason because the way the sign is built for the new owner, it saved them a money without removing and damaging the signs. It's not about like you know trying to

71
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:28.080
save money on the footer because footer is just the bottom portions but the there's like 13 ft sign there. If I had to remove the signs, I have to demolish the signs and I would like to help the new owner to reuse reuse the existing food and existing sign cabinet. I can alter the existing sign which I can

72
00:20:28.080 --> 00:20:44.480
remove the bottom portion of the black uh pole covers or cover you can call and then I can bring the top shine down and then I can have the sign like a 7 foot tall from the gray oh from the base. Gotcha. Thank you sir. Any other questions for the applicant? Thank you sir. Really appreciate your time.

73
00:20:44.480 --> 00:21:00.880
>> Anyone else in the audience to speak in or anyone in the audience to speak in support of this matter? Seeing none. Anyone in the audience to speak in opposition? Seeing none, uh, I'm gonna ask for a motion from the board and then let's talk for a second unless you all feel like we don't need to. Is there a

74
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:16.799
motion, >> Mr. Chair? Move to deny. >> We have a motion to deny from the vice chair. Is there a second? >> Seconded. >> We have a second from Mr. Evans. Your motion, sir. Your thoughts? >> Um, I mean, it it cleanly sees that our job is here is to look at criteria uh for as

75
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:33.440
as you know, what we do and it's based on that of but when as Mr. chairs, you had brought up as well is that our job is not to save money for people if a job was done or not done correctly, which I'm not going to say either or because we're not that's not our job here.

76
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:49.600
>> Um, but there was insufficient criteria in my eyes that we have strict with here in the county, you know, when it comes to rules and our criteria. And when I hear the only reason why is to save money, it gives me a little bit of

77
00:21:49.600 --> 00:22:06.240
heartburn. Um it it's important what what is said in front of us as well, but I'm just basing that, Mr. Chair, off of criteria. >> Yeah, good good point. Mr. Evans, do you have any thoughts? Um I mean certainly the the three letters of opposition well I suppose two letters of opposition um with a dup

78
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:21.919
additional uh certainly go to the harmony that we we talk about sometimes but in this case you know I I certainly sympathize that the the county did come out and potentially approve the the footer originally but I do think that's on the contractor and I the the application specifically noted

79
00:22:21.919 --> 00:22:36.960
visibility and safety issues which we did not hear tonight and so I just I think there was a lot of discrepancy there. >> Mr. Wright, do you have any thoughts? on uh microphone. Sorry, >> Mr. Chair Evans, what do you mean by harmony?

80
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:53.200
>> Uh we've talked about, you know, we we want uh our our variances to be in harmony with the neighborhood and uh Okay. So, letters of opposition, you know, clearly signify that they are >> understood. Thank you. Um I'm I'm not seeing I I understand some of the board members their positions

81
00:22:53.200 --> 00:23:08.559
here, you know, but um this board specifically is in place to review variances, which is the applicant or the owner's, you know, right to be able to do that, you know, when something is either in many cases put in place in the

82
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:24.799
wrong position, wrong spot. Um, obviously there was a mistake made and I and I agree that, you know, my decision is not based on saving money at this point, but I'm also looking at it that um I know this area personally. I live there. Um,

83
00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:40.720
I'm seeing that the the the error is minimal. There was a checks and balance that was was conducted by the county that was missed at this point. Um, and not and that's not an error on the contractor. they put it in the wrong place, but we

84
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:56.320
failed to to validate that at the time. So, um I'm not u in my opinion, I'm I'm more in favor of of approving the variance than I am denying it. So, >> Miss Katherine, as our and our new person, do you do you have thoughts?

85
00:23:56.320 --> 00:24:11.200
>> No, I don't. >> My my thoughts on this are are twofold. Uh, one I am I am loathed to to to approve my me personally to approve things that come before us from

86
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:26.720
the perspective of getting forgiveness rather than permission. I just I I this seems to be ratifying a mistake that is only the applicant's fault and I'm uncomfortable with that. Uh I'm also uncomfortable with this gentleman as as

87
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:41.120
competent as he certainly is them sending to us someone with 5 days experience because there are other questions that I have. But but then my second point is I'm going to fall back on something you you guys have heard me say plenty of times. We have someone

88
00:24:41.120 --> 00:24:57.919
seeking a variance. Uh certainly for of of the reasons for for for that variance saving money is not one of the strongest arguments we've heard. But in the face of that, we have people who are saying we want the rules to be enforced. And I

89
00:24:57.919 --> 00:25:13.600
just think that that comparing the property rights of the citizens to saving a few dollars, I'm going to heir on the side of property rights. That's that's that's just me. And anyone else has any other thoughts, I'm happy to hear them. Otherwise, I'll call the vote. Sir, Mr. Wright.

90
00:25:13.600 --> 00:25:29.760
>> Um, and I completely understand that position. My reading of the opposition letters um is not about the setback variance. It's about the size and nature, the the the

91
00:25:29.760 --> 00:25:44.880
visual impact of the sign, which is not what we're debating tonight. Um and at least that's my opinion of what I've read through the letters of opposition is that it's it's not about the fact that it's 3 ft closer to the sidewalk or

92
00:25:44.880 --> 00:26:02.320
to the the rideway line. Um it's it's about the visual impact and the size and and nature um of the sign and again so I while I give them weight and and do that I I don't see that as being the the critical I I I again I can't introduce

93
00:26:02.320 --> 00:26:18.640
my own evidence here but but there are s I know there are similar monument signs down the road at similar facilities. So um >> so and I live in the area so I I believe in the rural nature of that community too. you you know I have nothing but respect for you and your thoughts and

94
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:34.640
your experience. Uh I I had kind of read those letters and I could be wrong as if it was perhaps a different size they might have a different opinion but taking the totality of the circumstances. This is their thought. I I could be wrong. That's that's my read on it.

95
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:50.159
>> And and also Mr. Right. That's why I had asked my personal I want to know what the community said cuz I I read there was about seven or eight people there. Yeah, >> it's curious what was presented and and nothing against you, sir. As as Chip, Mr. Chair, uh had, you know, had alluded to earlier, it's nothing against you.

96
00:26:50.159 --> 00:27:05.279
You seem very competent and you're a very nice young man. Um, but when it comes down to it is that's why I'm always curious like we always ask what are the other what do your neighbors say? >> So, I want to know what were the what were the neighbors presented? >> One of the one of the letters indicated that they had a community meeting April 6th.

97
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:21.760
>> Yeah. But what was presented? Did they know the scope of it? And that's one of the things is and unfortunately when the company sends somebody that's only four days in his job, it's probably a little bit of an air on the side. I would love that information and that could sway things big time. Sure. >> In my eyes. >> So, any other thoughts?

98
00:27:21.760 --> 00:27:37.840
>> All right. No, no, sorry. I'm sorry. Floor's closed. Uh, we have a motion to deny and it has been seconded. Those in favor? >> I >> I >> opposed. I >> passes for I'm sorry. The the motion passes 41. Uh, please sir, tell your

99
00:27:37.840 --> 00:27:53.600
client that that there they do have the ability to appeal this to the county commission and and and either you or your client can can work with staff on that. >> All right. And thank you for your time. Very much appreciate it. >> Thank you. >> They threw you right into the fire in the beginning. >> Yeah, they did. >> Number two, please.

100
00:27:53.600 --> 00:28:10.000
>> Item number two is two variance requests for parcel 104 on Washington Street. The requests are for a lot size variance from 8,400 square ft to 5,000 square ft and a lot width variance from 70 ft to

101
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:25.679
50 ft for a single family home in the R1 zoning district. The subject parcel located within within the Midway target area is a legal parcel of record which was established prior to the subdivision

102
00:28:25.679 --> 00:28:41.600
regulations being adopted. However, the parcel does not meet the minimum lot size and width requirements and require variances to construct a single family home on the site. This concludes my presentation. I'm available for any questions.

103
00:28:41.600 --> 00:28:58.720
>> Thank you, ma'am. Questions for staff? >> Seeing none, is the applicant here? >> Yes, sir. >> Yes, sir. Please come on down and share with us your name and address. >> Yes. Brian Singh, 104 Washington Street, Sanford, Florida, 327 32771.

104
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:15.520
I thank you for your time. >> Yes, sir. What do you have to share? Uh, first and foremost, thank you again for your time. Uh, we are just trying to comply with the county. We respect you guys and we uh want to follow everything to the righteous matter. Um, it's a

105
00:29:15.520 --> 00:29:31.039
standard home. We just want to make uh there's a new construction across the street as we can uh as of right now I speak and it's it's a clone of the same what's going on. That's about it. Uh it's a septic that has to go there and that's how we need that space for the clearance. That's about it to just

106
00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:46.640
comply with you guys and respect all laws. >> Got you. Thank you, sir. Any questions for the applicant? Applicants applicant, excuse me. >> Quick question is you you mentioned septic is are is that that whole neighborhood? It's one of those neighborhoods on septic.

107
00:29:46.640 --> 00:30:02.720
>> Yes. Yes. Fortunately, Midway does supply water, which is great. That's a blessing. But just for the septic, that's about the county. That's what they ask for. But then per regulation, they ask for certain setbacks. And my septic guy, I had to get this approved before he could start his install.

108
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:17.600
>> That's about it, sir. >> Perfect. And Miss Hamill, if I can impose upon you, please, especially as as we have a new member here, share just for the record um the general idea when we talk about parcels of record, what we're talking about. >> When we're talking about parcels of

109
00:30:17.600 --> 00:30:35.520
record, we're we're tying that to when we adopted regulations for subdivisions. So, we adopted our subdivision regulations, a process on how you can um um do platted lots, how you can can

110
00:30:35.520 --> 00:30:51.120
make lots to meet the minimum zoning requirements and be consistent with the surrounding area. And in this case, this parcel of record existed there prior to 1970 because 1970 is when we adopted the subdivision regulations. So what we do

111
00:30:51.120 --> 00:31:06.480
is we recognize any parcels that were done before then but as soon as they're done after the 1970 we knew that there was a process in which they had to do to be able to create the lot and so that those would not be considered legal lots of record and they wouldn't be able to

112
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:22.799
come before the board and be able to get variances for the lot size dimensions. >> Perfect. Perfect. I also like to ask on here is that this is in our midway target area in which we try to encourage um development and so in situations like

113
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:38.880
this, this is where we um will approve variances to be able to support that community and its growth. >> Absolutely. Any other questions for the applicant? >> All right. Thank you, sir. >> Thank you. >> Uh anyone in the audience to speak in support of this matter? You can go and sit down.

114
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:55.120
>> Oh, thank you. Seeing none, anyone anyone in the audience to speak in opposition? Seeing none, your pleasure. >> Move to approve. Mr. Chair, >> we have a motion to approve from the vice chair. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Second from Mr. Wright. Those in favor? >> Opposed? >> Enjoy, sir.

115
00:31:55.120 --> 00:32:10.399
>> Thank you. >> Number three. >> Item number three is Havarian's request for A1A Shiver Circle. The subject property is located in the crossings unit 2 several lakes east subdivision and is within the

116
00:32:10.399 --> 00:32:25.679
Greenville Lakes Crossing plan development. The request is for a rear yard setback variance from 15 ft to 5 ft for a screen room in the PD plan development district. The proposed screen room to be constructed will be 21

117
00:32:25.679 --> 00:32:42.000
ft by 15 ft. The request is for a variance to section C of the Greenwood Lakes Plan unit development which states that patios have a rear setback variance of 15 ft. The applicant applied for the

118
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:59.519
appropriate building permit number 26002150 and at that time it was determined that a setback variance will be required. There have been no prior variances for this subject property. This concludes my presentation. >> Thank you, ma'am. Any questions for

119
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:18.799
staff? See none. Is the applicant here? Call again. Is the applicant here? >> Interesting. So, I will put this to our board. Would you guys like to discuss this and vote on it now or the chair will entertain a motion to

120
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:36.480
continue it to the end of the agenda? >> Mr. Chair, continue. >> We have a motion to continue to the bottom of our agenda. Is there a second? >> Second. In >> favor? I >> opposed. >> All right. Number four, please. >> Item number four is a variance request for 418 Lake Boulevard. The subject

121
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:51.519
property is located in the Lock Harbor Fairlane subdivision. The request is for a Westside Street yard setback variance from 25 ft to 8.75 ft for a carport conversion addition in the R1A single

122
00:33:51.519 --> 00:34:08.960
family dwelling district. The subject property is a corner lot and such considered to have two front yards for setback purposes. The front of the house faces Lake Boulevard. The forest drive side is where the variance is being sought. The existing structure to be

123
00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:24.879
converted will be 12 ft by 26.1 ft. Traffic engineering has not objection to the structure as it relates to site visibility. There have been a prior variance for the pro subject property for with a building

124
00:34:24.879 --> 00:34:42.240
line variance from 90 ft to 73.75 ft. This concludes my presentation. I'm available for any questions. >> Thank you, ma'am. Any questions for staff? Seeing none, is the applicant here? Yes, ma'am. Anything you'd like to add? >> I don't know. Everybody stood up.

125
00:34:42.240 --> 00:34:57.839
>> I was getting mentally prepared for this. >> It's been a hazing all night. Goodness. Please share with us your name and address. Nina Janeo, 1476 Chipoa Lane. >> Yes, ma'am. Please. >> Um, I bought this property. It's a small 31 house. I did the conversion with all

126
00:34:57.839 --> 00:35:14.480
the permitting and everything or not updates, not conversion, updates to the inside of the house. That went through fine. Um, had a whole roof permit. It got approved. It the roof has already been put exactly to where this even was done. And then, uh, I asked to do an addition for the conversion. and then

127
00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:31.760
surprise I wasn't within the variance um parameters. So I'm just hoping that I could do an addition. >> Gotcha. Any questions for the applicant? >> Mr. Chair, >> Mr. Vice Chair. >> Uh it doesn't look like you have uh any any neighbors per se that are pretty close, but if we pretty much anybody

128
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:48.240
said anything, I mean I know the notices go out, but >> not really. >> And the house has been like this. Like I said, I I bought it. It has um a laundry, a cement laundry in the in the carport as well with electricity and plumbing and everything. Um on that west side there's no near neighbor. On the

129
00:35:48.240 --> 00:36:05.760
back of the house there's like a um what is that called? Like almost like an easement, you know, like a back easement that's >> Oh, okay. >> And then there's a house there and up front there's plenty of space and there's plenty of space over to the left where I could eventually build an in-law suite. So there's a lot of space.

130
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:22.560
>> Thank you. Got you. Any other questions for the applicant? Seeing none. Thank you, ma'am. >> That's it. Okay. >> Run. Run while you can. >> We can ask more if you'd like. >> Uh, anyone in the audience to speak in support of this matter? Seeing none, anyone in the audience to speak in

131
00:36:22.560 --> 00:36:38.480
opposition? Seeing none. Your pleasure, ladies and gentlemen. >> Motion to approve. >> Motion to approve for Mr. Wright. Is there a second? >> Seconded. >> Second by Mr. Evans. Those in favor? I >> opposed. Enjoy. Circling back to number three, I presume we do not need to read

132
00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:54.400
it into the record again. Or do we do you think we need to? >> Why not? Let's read it back in the record. >> Miss Jaylen needs the uh the experience anyway. >> Yes. >> Huh? If you could please read number three into the record again.

133
00:36:54.400 --> 00:37:10.240
>> Okay. I'm so sorry. Item number three is a variance request for A1A Sherver Circle. The subject property is located in the crossings unit 2 silver lakes east subdivision and is within the Greenwood Lakes Crossing plan

134

136
00:37:41.520 --> 00:38:01.359
26002150 and at that time it was determined that a setback variance will be required. There have not been any prior variances for the subject property. This concludes my presentation. >> Thank you ma'am. questions for staff at this point. Is the applicant here now?

137
00:38:01.359 --> 00:38:17.520
All right. So, what we can do is we can consider the matter based on the evidence that's before us or we could the chair will entertain a motion to continue if that's your pleasure. >> I actually had a question. So, it's I continue to next meeting. >> We have a motion to continue. Do we have

141
00:39:06.160 --> 00:39:21.680
