u o g WHEREAS, the Special Magistrate, serving as the Board of Adjustment of St. Lucie County,
W r_g o g Florida ("Board of Adjustment"), based on the testimony and evidence, including, but not limited
- o a to the staff report, has made the following determinations:

y N

V o a, the front entry deck and stairs for an existing mobile home to encroach 5.0 feet into the
-.03w
ten (10)foot minimum front yard setback for an overall setback of 5.0 feet.
2. After publication of a notice of such hearing, installation of a notice sign on the property,
and notification by mail to all owners of property within 500 feet of the subject property,
this Board held a public hearing on July 23, 2025.
3. After consideration of the staff report and testimony presented during the public hearing,
including that of the petitioner, 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 not met the standards of review as set forth in Section
10.01.02, St. Lucie County Land Development Code, and the Board of adjustment has
made the following determinations:
a. The Lot is unique in the same sense as nearby Special Situation Lots and granting
the variance would not impair other property or improvements in the neighborhood.
b. The variance requested, however, cannot be said to be the minimum variance that
will make possible the reasonable use of land and structures. The approved
design for the mobile home in 2019 met the St. Lucie County Land Development
Code's minimum front yard setback requirements, so the owners have reasonable
use of the property without a variance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Adjustment of St. Lucie County, Florida:
A. Petition of Mike and Sandra Andreas, a Variance for an unpermitted front entry deck and
stairs for an existing Mobile Home to encroach 5.0 feet into the ten (10) foot minimum
front yard setback within the Hutchinson Island Residential Zoning District (HIRD) as
shown on the boundary survey created by Roland E. Rollins, Professional land Surveyor,

and the testimony presented, this variance request to allow an unpermitted front entry
deck and stairs for an existing RV to encroach 5.0 feet into the ten (10) foot minimum front
