AN ORDER GRANTING AN ADMINISTRATIVE VARIANCE FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5020 BUCHANAN DR.
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. Petition by Dena A. Williams for an Administrative Variance from the provisions of Section
7.04.01 (Table 7-10) Lot Size and Dimensional Requirements of the St. Lucie County Land
Development Code to allow an existing above ground pool (after the fact) up to 5 ft. within
the required 15 ft. rear yard setback, proposing a 10 ft. rear yard setback for property
located at 5020 Buchanan Dr. Fort Pierce, FL, and further described in Paragraph "B",
within the RS-3 (Residential, Single-Family - 3) Zoning District.
2. On July 12, 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 reduction from 15 feet to 10 feet for an
accessory structure, representing less than a 35 percent reduction of the minimum
required setback. The encroachment into the minimum required rear yard (setback) is up
to 5 feet for the above ground pool as depicted on the boundary survey submitted to the
Planning & Development Services Department on May 22, 2023.
4. After consideration of staff's analysis found in a memorandum dated August 24, 2023,
entitled 5020 Buchanan Dr. Administrative Variance SFRVAR-2305-000011, 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
