AN ORDER GRANTING ADMINISTRATIVE VARIANCE APPROVAL
FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7017 GULLOTTI PLACE,
IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA.
WHEREAS, the St. Lucie County Planning and Development Services Director has reviewed the
application for an administrative variance, including, but not limited to the staff report and made
the following determinations:
1. Dianne Soldevilla petitioned for an Administrative Variance to allow for an existing covered
screened porch, after modifications, to encroach into the required minimum 20-foot side
yard setback by no more than 7.00 feet, providing a 13.00-foot side yard setback for this
structure within the AR-1 (Agricultural, Residential — 1 du/ac) Zoning District.
2. On February 22, 2023, Planning & Development Services staff notified by mail all owners
of property within 500 feet of the petition site and the applicant installed a sign on the
subject property in accordance with Land Development Code Section 11.00.03.
3. The Administrative Variance provides for a 35% reduction of the minimum required side
yard (setback), allowing a reduction from 20 feet to 13 feet for a (previously constructed)
covered screened porch. The encroachment into the minimum required side yard
(setback) is up to 7.00 feet for a corner of a covered screened porch, which is angled
toward the side yard property line and will be modified as depicted on the boundary survey
dated March 17, 2010, with field data updated August 10, 2018, and digitally signed on
February 8, 2023, attached herein as "Exhibit A".
4. After consideration of staff's analysis found in a memorandum dated March 13, 2023,
entitled Dianne Soldevilla Administrative Variance— 7017 Gullotti Place., SFRVAR-2302-
000003, including exhibits and the standards of review for granting administrative
variances set out in Land Development Code Section 10.01.14.C., the Planning &
Development Services Director has made the following determinations:
The requested administrative variance meets the standards of review as set forth in
Section 10.01.14.C. of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code and is not in conflict
with the goals, objectives, and policies of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan,
because:
a) There were no objections made from the public in regard to the proposed
administrative variance;
b) The requested encroachment will not have an undue adverse effect on adjacent
property, does not encroach into any easements, common areas, or environmentally
sensitive areas;
c) The request does not impair or otherwise injure other property values or improvements
