RE: Parcel ID.: 2320-501-0034-0004
Dear Mr. Long:
The above referenced parcel has a zoning designation of AG-5 (Agriculture-5, 1 du/5-ac)
and a future Land Use Classification of AG-5 (Agricultural - 5, 1 du /ac).
The above parcel is nonconforming because it does not meet the required road frontage of 60
feet. Frontage is defined in the St. Lucie County Land Development Code (LDC) as "the
length of a lot that fronts on a public street or that fronts on a private street having been
constructed in conformance with the St. Lucie County Standard Specifications for Public
Works Construction." In order for a parcel to be considered a nonconforming lot of record
and thereby qualify for a waiver of these requirements, it must exist in separate ownership
and not be contiguous to other lots in the same ownership prior to July 1, 1984 pursuant to
Section 10.00.04, Land Development Code (LDC).
Pursuant to research of County records, on March 15, 2000 the St. Lucie County Board of
Adjustment granted a variance to permit the development of property which would lack 100%
of the 60 feet of road frontage required in the AG-5 Zoning District. As the result this variance
allowed access to this property through a 32 feet dedicated easement from Brocksmith Rd.
A single family home may be constructed upon this property subject to meeting all applicable
local, state and federal codes. The AG-5 setbacks are as follows: 50-foot front, 20-foot sides
and a 30-foot rear, with a maximum lot coverage of 10%.
Please contact the Health Department regarding well and/or septic at (772) 873-4903 to ensure
that their requirements can be satisfied prior to applying for a building permit for the subject
property. In addition, you will need to contact the Environment Resources Division at (772)
462-2526 prior to any removal of vegetation.
If you have any questions regarding the above determination, please don't hesitate to contact
the undersigned.

10.00.04. - Nonconforming Lots of F ..t, r. rd.
A. Lots of Record Created Prior to July 1, 1984.
In any district, principal permitted structures and customary accessory buildings may be
erected on any single lot of record existing before July 1, 1984, notwithstanding
limitations imposed by other provisions of this Code. Such lot must be in separate
ownership and not contiguous to other lots in the same ownership. This provision shall
apply even though such lot fails to meet the requirements for area, or width, or
frontage or any combination of the three (3) that are generally applicable in the district,
provided that yard dimensions and requirements other than those applying to area, or
width, or frontage of the lot shall conform to the regulations for the district in which
such lot is located. Variance of yard dimensions and requirements other than those
applying to area, width, and frontage shall be obtained only through action of the Board
of Adjustment. If however, the lot has no frontage as defined in Chapter II, then proof of
recorded legal ingress and egress acceptable to the County Attorney must be furnished
before a building permit will be issued except for nonresidential accessory structures in
AR-1, AG-1, AG-2.5 and AG-5 zoning districts.
2. If two (2) or more lots or combinations of lots and portions of lots which are contiguous
to other lots were of single ownership and were of record on July 1, 1984, and if all or
part of the lots do not meet the requirements established for lot width and area or
frontage, the lands involved shall be considered to be an undivided parcel for the
purposes of this Code provided however, that lots separated by an ingress/egress,
access or roadway easement that was of record on July 1, 1984, but specifically
excluding any easement limited to utilities, drainage or other non -access purpose, shall
not be considered an undivided parcel for the purpose of this section.
B. Lots of Record Created Between July 1, 1984 andjanuary9, 1990.
In any district, principal permitted structures and customary accessory buildings may be
erected on any single lot of record created in accordance with the requirements of the
St. Lucie County Zoning Ordinance between July 1, 1984, and January 9, 1990,
notwithstanding limitations imposed by other provisions of this Code.
