RE: Parcel ID: 1418-241-0040-000/9
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Skopelja,
The above referenced parcel has a zoning designation of AR-1 (Agriculture- Residential
-1 du/ac) and a future Land Use Classification of RU (Residential- Urban, 5 du /ac).
The above parcel is nonconforming because it does not meet the required road frontage
of 30 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 the research of county records, it has been determined that the property was
not contiguous to other lots in the same ownership prior to -July 1, 1984. Accordingly,
this parcel is considered a non -conforming lot of record. As.a result the road frontage
requirement is hereby waived. A single family home may be constructed upon this
property subject to meeting all applicable local, state and federal codes. The AR-1
setbacks are as follows: 50 foot front, 20 foot sides and a 30 foot rear, with a maximum
lot coverage of 20%.
A recorded easement providing access to your property from the closest public road will
be required at the time of submission of your building permit application.
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.
Respectfully,
Melissa Brubaker
