AN ORDER GRANTING AN ADMINISTRATIVE VARIANCE FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3121 OLD EDWARDS ROAD 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 Whitney O'Neill, on behalf of property owners Michael & Regina Parks, 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 for an
existing single-family residence to encroach up to 3.8 feet into the required minimum 50-
foot front yard setback for property located at 3121 Old Edwards Road, Fort Pierce, FL,
and-further described in Paragraph "B", within the AR-1, Agricultural, Residential — 1,
Zoning District.
2. On March 12, 2024, 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 7.6 percent reduction of the minimum required
front yard (setback), allowing a reduction from 50 feet to 46.2 feet for an existing single-
family home, built c1910. The encroachment into the minimum required front yard
(setback) for the existing single-family home is depicted on the boundary survey dated
August 1, 2022, as shown in Exhibit "A".
4. After consideration of staff's analysis found in a memorandum dated April 11, 2024,
entitled Old Edwards Farms Administrative Variance SFRVAR-2303-000007, 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
