A RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FOR
CERTAIN PROPERTY LOCATED IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustment of St. Lucie County, Florida, based on the testimony and
evidence, including, but not limited to the staff report, has made the following determinations:
1. Petition of Rachael and Terry Tanis for a variance from the provisions of LDC Section
7.04.01. (Table 7-10) — Lot Size and Dimensional Requirements, for an existing covered
pole barn and enclosed garage to encroach 19.7 ft. into the required minimum 30 ft. rear
yard (setback) and to encroach 7.6 ft. into the required minimum 20 ft. side yard
(setback) for property located at 471 Sunrise Drive in the AG-2.5 (Agricultural — 2.5)
Zoning District.
2. On June 28, 2023, this Board held a public hearing on the petition, after publishing a
notice of such hearing, installing a sign on the property, and notifying by mail all owners
of property within 500 feet of the subject property.
3. After consideration of the testimony presented during the public hearing, including staff
comments, exhibits, and the standards of review for granting variances set out in Section
10.01.02, St. Lucie County Land Development Code, the Board of Adjustment has made
the following determinations:
The requested variance has met the standards of review as set forth in Section
10.01.02, 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. The granting of the requested variance arises from conditions that are unique
and peculiar to the structure as there is clearly a hardship that is not resulting
from the applicant's own making. Neither lack of a permit, nor encroachment into
the setback(s), was known by the applicants when they bought the property. Nor,
particularly in light of the size and quality of the improvement(s), was there any
reason for the applicants to suspect such issues.
b. The granting of the requested variance will not impair or otherwise injure other
property or improvements in the area in which the subject property is located.
c. The granting of the requested variance is the minimum necessary that will make
reasonable use of the land and buildings.
d. The requested variance meets the general spirit and intent of the St. Lucie
County Land Development Code and the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.
