PUBLIC COMMENT
1. Mr. John Bodenschatz, 10044 S. Ocean Drive Unit 608, Jensen Beach, FL 34957
This photo is what the objection is all about. I waited a long time to get this condo with the
85-foot long deck. Had to be on the south side because of winter north winds, had to be the
6th floor or higher to view the bridge at night. I have added thousands (you can check
building permits) in the 3 years I've been here. I'm 79 with COPD and Doctor said because of
the virus not to go anywhere there is 10 people or more. I would happily meet with anyone
on a individual basis to discuss this in more detail. John Bodenschatz, Seawinds 608.
2. Don Stacks,10410 S Ocean Drive, unit 302, Jensen Beach, FL 34957 (The Island Club).
Dear St Lucie County,
My name is Don Stacks and serve as the treasurer and a member of the Board of Directors
the President's Council of
Hutchinson Island. I also live at 10410 S Ocean Drive, unit 302, the Island Club. I am aware of
the Oceanglass town home project and I support the variance request to allow the
Oceanglass townhomes to be 7 feet higher. I believe this project will increase the value of all
our properties, while simultaneously protecting preserved land on Hutchinson Island South.
Regards,
Don Stacks
3. My name is Rick Mihaljevic I reside at Hutchinson Island Club Condominiums, 10410 S
Ocean Drive unit 903. 1 also serve as President of the Homeowners Association and as a
member of the President's Council of Hutchinson Island. I am aware of the Oceanglass town -
home project and their requests for a 7-foot height variance. I believe this project will smartly
balance the land development while being environmentally sensitive to land usage as they
plan to develop only a few acres of the total site for the town -homes while maintaining most
of the acreage as natural vegetation. The project will continue to support the home values in
the area and bring the right type of development to Hutchinson Island South.
Sincerely
Rick Mihaljevic

My name is Joan Paye and I am a resident of Tradewinds at 10187 S Ocean Drive on
Hutchinson Island. I am aware of the Oceanglass town home project next door to my
residence and I support the variance request to allow the Oceanglass townhomes to be 7 feet
higher. I believe this project will increase the value of all our properties, while simultaneously
protecting preserved land on Hutchinson Island South.
Sincerely yours,

BOARD DISCUSSION
Discussion regarding the previously approved variances on the island made between
Chairman Lowe, Mr. Mencer and Ms. Grubbs. Mr.Griffin inquired regarding the height
request. Mr. Murphy stated that a subsection in the LDC limits variance opportunities are not
to exceed more than 20% which is 7 feet. The team estimates the height to be at 41.5 or 41.7
feet in height. Mr. Griffin wanted to clarify elevations provided. Mr. Murphy replied that the
47-foot reference in the aerial is true zero which is below grade and the flood elevation is 41
feet. Mr. Griffin inquired about the differences regarding the approved resolution for the
initial PUD versus the proposed project. Mr. Murphy replied that all are the same except for
increased density and footprint and that the density still within what is allotted for future
land use. Mr. Griffin wanted to confirm that the new applicant would abide by requirements
stipulated in the resolution. Mr. Murphy clarified that the applicant is subject to the original
resolution and would follow accordingly. He also clarified that the hardship is that the
markets have changed, and the code has not. Mr. Griffin mentioned hurricane issues from
the time of the 2006 resolution. Mr. Murphy replied that the project has taken storm surge
and flood zoning into consideration. Chairman Lowe inquired if the impact fee would be the
current rates and not those of the time of the resolution. Mr. Murphy clarified that they
would be the current rates.

Board of Adjustment Staff Report
Joseph Branca Variance(BA-8202025834)
October 28, 2020
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Background:
The Environmental Resources Department (ERD) is in receipt of the August 31, 2020 date -stamped submittal from
Planning and Development Services. The applicant is seeking approval of a variance to decrease the minimum
required construction setback of 15-ft to the rear (east) property line to allow for a recently constructed pole barn.
The existing pole barn's building foundation measures 4.3-ft to the rear property line. The subject site consists of
one (1) single family residence and one (1) pole barn. The 1.02-acre parcel (Parcel ID 1313-131-0007-000-6) is
located at 4960 Conley Place in Fort Pierce and is zoned RS-4.
Findings:
A `Notice of Vegetation Removal Permit Exemption' - Permit # 20191140 - was issued on 12/04/2019 for the
removal of slash pine trees within the area of the pole barn. At that time, it was determined that these slash pine
trees did not meet the size threshold for required mitigation.
The proposed variance is not anticipated to result in any adverse environmental impacts as the lot is already
developed and no increase to the existing construction footprint is proposed.
Recommendation:
The Environmental Resources Department has no objection to the proposed Variance.
STANDARDS OF REVIEW AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10.01.02
ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
In reviewing this application for a variance from the St. Lucie County Land Development Code (LDC), the Board
of Adjustment shall consider and make the following determinations:
1. The variance requested arises from conditions that are unique and peculiar to the land, structures,
and buildings involved; that the particular physical surroundings, the shape, or topographical
condition of the specific property involved would result in unnecessary hardship for the owner, lessee,
or occupant, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the Provisions of Chapter 7 are literally
enforced; that they are conditions that are not ordinarily found in the same Zoning District, and the
conditions are created by the regulations of Chapter 7, of this Code, and not by an action or actions
of the property owner or the applicant.
The Variance does not arise from conditions that are unique and peculiar to the land and physical
surroundings and do not result in an unnecessary hardship for the owner. The applicant constructed the pole
barn within the required fifteen (15') foot rear yard setback. Furthermore, the existing 10'x10' metal shed
was erected without a building permit and does not meet the rear or side yard setbacks, as required for the
RS-4 (Residential, Single -Family — 4 du/ac) Zoning District. Although native trees exist on the property,
lot area is available to relocate the structures within the required setbacks.
Special conditions and circumstances do not exist that are peculiar to the parcel of land, building or
structure, that are not applicable to other parcels of land, structures or buildings in the same zoning district.

2. The granting of the variance will not impair or injure other property or improvements in the
neighborhood in which the subject property is located, nor impair an adequate supply of light or air
to adjacent property, substantially increase the congestion in the public streets, increase the danger
of fire, create a hazard to air navigation, endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or
impair property values within the neighborhood.
The requested Variance is not anticipated to harm other property or improvements in the neighborhood,
impair adequate supply of light or air to adjacent properties or streets, increase the danger of fire, or
endanger public safety. The subject property backs up to the St. Lucie County Water Treatment Facility.
3. The variance requested is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the
land, building, or structures.
The requested Variance is not the minimum needed to make possible the reasonable use of land and
structures. The subject parcel is rectangular shaped with no unique features. The property owner has the
option to relocate the pole barn and metal shed to meet the required minimum rear and side setbacks.
4. The variance desired will not be opposed to the general spirit and intent of this Code or the St. Lucie
County Comprehensive Plan.
The Variance desired is opposed to the general spirit and intent of the St. Lucie County Land
Development Code (LDC). Section 7.04.01 of the St. Lucie County LDC establishes minimum building
setbacks for structures with the purpose to preserve and improve visibility and uniformity, as well as the
overall appearance to the neighborhood.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has reviewed this petition and determined that it does not conform to the standards of review as set forth in St.
Lucie County's Land Development Code Section 10.01.02. Staff therefore, recommends denial of the requested
Variance.

Variance from the LDC. (State the variance sought and the section from the LDC from
which the variance is requested.)
Joseph Branca of 4960 Conley PI, Fort Pierce, Florida 34951
2. What is the purpose of the proposed variance and the intended development of the
subject property if the variance is granted;
Mr. Branca requests an eleven (11) foot Variance to allow his pole barn located 4.3 feet off
his East property line to remain as constructed.
3. State the specific hardship imposed on the owner by the LDC? To remove and
relocate the pole barn eleven (11) feet to the West would create an undue and substantial
economic hardship, which is not necessary after due consideration given to the pole barn's
immediate physical surroundings. The nearest habitual structure located closest to the pole
barn, aside form Mr. Branca's home, is over a hundred feet away
4. State reasons why this hardship is unique to the owner and why other property
similarly situated does not suffer from the same hardship. Most neighbors in the
immediate vicinity to the subject property have customarily stored their recreational
vehicles and secondary vehicles in a sprawling fashion promoting clutter which reduces curb
appeal within the subject neighborhood. The variance requested arises from a condition that
is unique and peculiar to the neighborhood in that Mr. Branca desires to be a good neighbor
by constructing the pole barn for the purpose of storing his vehicles and boats. This is a
conscious and neighborly effort by Mr. Branca to free the street and to remove from plain
view of his neighbors such recreational vehicles. The construction of the pole barn was
intended to be a positive effort to enhance the aesthetics of the surrounding neighborhood.
5. State reasons why this variance will not be injurious to other property and/or
improvements in the neighborhood in which the subject property is located, Tile
construction of the pole barn was intended to be a positive effort to enhance the aesthetics of
the surrounding neighborhood. Furthermore, there are no habitual structures located in
close proximity to the pole barn. The nearest habitual structure located closest to the pole
barn, aside form Mr. Branca's home, is over a hundred feet away. To remove and relocate
the pole barn eleven (11) feet to the West would create an undue and substantial economic
hardship, which is not necessary after due consideration given to the pole barn's immediate
physical surroundings. Furthermore, the pole barn will not increase the congestion in the
public streets as this structure is intended to store recreational vehicles and will not be used
commercially.
6. State reasons why this variance will not increase traffic, the danger of fire, or impair
property values in the neighborhood in which the subject property is located. The nearest
habitual structure located closest to the pole barn, aside form Mr. Branca's home, is over a
hundred feet away. the purpose of the pole barn is to free the street and to remove from
plain view of his neighbors such recreational vehicles and to prevent sprawling clutter.

Supplement 2
7. State why this variance is the minimum variance that will make possible a reasonable use of
the land, building and structures. The eleven (11) foot Variance is needed because to grant a lesser

Airport Zones established in Section 4.00.00, the application shall be accompanied
by a written determination from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA Form
7460) as to the effect of the proposal on the operation of air navigation facilities and

Environmental resources
Final report
TO: Kris McCrain, Planning & Development Services
THROUGH: Jennifer McGee, Environmental Regulations Manager
Amy E. Griffin, Environmental Resources Director
FROM: Brian Arbeiter, Environmental Planner
DATE: September 2, 2020
SUBJECT: Joseph Branca Variance
BA-8202025834
Background
The Environmental Resources Department (ERD) is in receipt of the August 31, 2020 date -stamped submittal from
Planning and Development Services. The applicant is seeking approval of a variance to decrease the minimum
required construction setback of 15-ft to the rear (east) property line to allow for a recently constructed pole barn.
The existing pole barn's building foundation measures 4.3-ft to the rear property line. The subject site consists of
one (1) single family residence and one (1) pole barn. The 1.02-acre parcel (Parcel ID 1313-131-0007-000-6) is
located at 4960 Conley Place in Fort Pierce and is zoned RS-4.
Findings
A `Notice of Vegetation Removal Permit Exemption' - permit # 20191140 - was issued on 12/04/2019 for the
removal of slash pine trees within the area of the pole barn. At that time, it was determined that these slash pine
trees did not meet the size threshold for required mitigation.
The proposed variance is not anticipated to result in any adverse environmental impacts as the lot is already
developed and no increase to the existing construction footprint is proposed.
Recommendation
ERD has no objection to the proposed variance.
Please contact Brian Arbeiter at 772-462-2866 if you have any questions.

Board of Adjustment
Richard James Variance (BA-8202025830)
In reviewing this application for a variance from the St. Lucie County Land Development Code, the
Board of Adjustment shall consider and make the following determinations:
1. The variance requested arises from conditions that are unique and peculiar to the
land, structures, and buildings involved; that the particular physical surroundings,
the shape, or topographical condition of the specific property involved would result
in unnecessary hardship for the owner, lessee, or occupant, as distinguished from a
mere inconvenience, if the Provisions of Chapter 7 are literally enforced; that they are
conditions that are not ordinarily found in the same Zoning District, and the
conditions are created by the regulations of Chapter 7, of this Code, and not by an
action or actions of the property owner or the applicant.
The Variance does not arise from conditions that are unique and peculiar to the land and
physical surroundings that would result in unnecessary hardship for the owner. The survey
and buildings plans propose a screen enclosure over the pool and seek to maintain the
existing shed which encroaches in the rear yard of the property. The screen enclosure would
be erected on the existing concrete wall, as depicted in Exhibit 2 below. The screen
enclosure would provide a 0.5-foot rear yard setback from the property line.
Furthermore, the existing 11.0' X 16.0' shed was built and permitted in 1991 (BP # 9104950)
to encroach 10.8 feet into the required minimum 15-foot rear yard setback. The screen
enclosure will be built over a portion of the existing shed as depicted in Exhibit 3 below.
Special conditions and circumstances do not exist that are peculiar to the parcel of land,
building or structure, that are not applicable to other parcels of land, structures or buildings
in the same zoning district.

2. The granting of the variance will not impair or injure other property or improvements
in the neighborhood in which the subject property is located, nor impair an adequate
supply of light or air to adjacent property, substantially increase the congestion in
the public streets, increase the danger of fire, create a hazard to air navigation,
endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair property values within
the neighborhood.
The applicant indicates the Variance will be located in the backyard of the property and does
not affect adjacent property owners or traffic. The applicant stated the Variance would add
value and protection to the home. The applicant also indicated the shed was existing before
the single-family home was purchased in 2017.
Granting the requested variance is not expected to harm other property or improvements in
the neighborhood, nor is it expected to impair an adequate supply of light or air to adjacent
public streets, increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety, and therefore
should have no negative impact on adjacent properties.
3. The variance requested is the minimum variance that will make possible the
reasonable use of the land, building, or structures.
The Variance requested is not the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable
use of land and structures. The pool existed without the need for the requested variance.
No justification was presented to why the site could not continue to be enjoyed by the
property owner without the need for the encroachment.
4. The variance desired will not be opposed to the general spirit and intent of this Code
or the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.
The Variance is in conflict with the general spirit and intent of the St. Lucie County Land
Development Code. The proposed pool screen enclosure and shed encroachment into
the rear yard setbacks is in conflict with Section 7.04.01 of the St. Lucie County Land
Development Code. Pursuant to Section 7.04.01, which states, "No structure shall be
constructed on a lot that is less than the minimum yard requirements as shown in Table
7-10 for the zoning district in which it is located'.

RECOMMENDATION:
The variance sought arises from conditions that are not unique and do not qualify as a hardship as
defined in the St. Lucie County Land Development Code. Staff has reviewed this petition and
determined that it does not conform to a strict interpretation of the standards of review as set forth
in Section 10.01.02, St. Lucie County Land Development Code. Staff is, therefore, recommending
denial of the requested variance.

10.01.00. - VARIANCES
10.01.01. - General.
A. Authority. Unless otherwise provided for in this Code, the Board of Adjustment shall have authority to
grant variances from the dimensional requirements of this Code, in accordance with the standards
and procedures set forth in this section.
B. Purpose. The purpose of a variance is to provide a mechanism when, owing to special conditions,
the literal enforcement of the provisions of this Code would impose upon a landowner unnecessary
hardship that can be mitigated without conferring on the applicant any special privilege.
C. Initiation. A written petition for a variance is to be initiated by the owner of, or any person having
contractual interest in, the property for which relief is sought.
10.01.02. - Standards for Granting Variances.
The Board of Adjustment shall not grant a variance unless it shall, in each case, make specific
findings of fact based directly upon the particular evidence presented supporting written conclusions that:
A. The variance requested arises from a condition that is unique and peculiar to the land,
structures and buildings involved; that the particular physical surroundings, the shape, or
topographical condition of the specific property involved, would result in unnecessary hardship
for the owner, lessee, or occupant, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the
provisions of this Code are literally enforced; that it is a condition that is not ordinarily found in
the same zoning district, and the condition is created by the regulations of this Code, and not by
an action or actions of the property owner or the applicant;
B. The granting of the variance will not impair or injure other property or improvements in the
neighborhood in which the subject property is located, nor impair an adequate supply of light or
air to adjacent property, substantially increase the congestion in the public streets, increase the
danger of fire, create a hazard to air navigation, endanger the public safety, or substantially
diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood;
C. The variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the
land, building or structures; and
D. The variance desired will not be opposed to the general spirit and intent of this Code or the St.
Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.
10.01.03. - Limitations on Granting Variances.
A. Variances shall not be granted that would:
Permit a building or structure to have a height in excess of one hundred twenty percent (120%)
of that permitted by Table 1 in Section 7.04.00; or permit a lot width or road frontage less than
eighty percent (80%) of that permitted by said Table, except:
a. In the case of nonconforming lots of record, provided, however, that a variance to construct
a permitted or authorized accessory structure on such a lot shall be governed by the
provisions of Section 10.00.04; and
In the AGA AG-2.5 and AG-5 Agricultural Districts, road frontage of less than sixty (60)
feet may be permitted on parcels of ten (10) acres or more in total area.
2. Permit the use of land or a structure contrary to the use provisions of Section 3.01.00;
Permit a variance from the provisions of Section 4.01.00 that would authorize any building to
have a height in excess of one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the maximum permitted by
the particular zone in which it is located or to be in excess of one hundred twenty-five (125) feet,
whichever is less.
Page 93 of 112
B. A variance to construct an accessary agricultural structure on agricultural property lacking sufficient
frontage shall be governed by the provisions of Section 10.01.07.
C. A variance from the requirements of Section 7.07.00, Stormwater Management, shall be governed
by the provisions of Section 10.01.08.
D. A variance from the requirements of Section 7.05.06, Driveways, shall be governed by the
provisions of Section 10.01.09.
E. A variance from the requirements of Section 6.05.00, Flood Damage Prevention, shall be governed
by the provisions of Section 10.01.10.
No variance from the dimensional requirements of Section 7.00.00, other than variances granted for
or in conjunction with a Final Development Order as described under Section 11.02.00, shall be valid
for a period longer than twelve (12) months unless a building permit is issued. A variance issued for,
or in, conjunction with a Final Development Order as described under Section 11.02.00 shall expire
upon the termination of that Final Development Order unless the Final Development Order is
extended or otherwise determined to be compliant with the provisions of this Code.
10.01.04. - Procedures for Application.
A. Application. An application for a variance shall be filed with the Growth Management Director,
accompanied by a non-refundable fee, as established from time to time by the Board of County
Commissioners to defray the actual cost of processing the application. The application shall be in
such form and shall contain such information and documentation as shall be prescribed from time to
time by the Director and shall contain at least the following:
1. Name and address of applicant;
2. Legal description, street address, and lot number and subdivision name, if any, of the property
which is the subject of the application;
3. The size of the subject property;
4. The variance sought and the Section of this Code from which a variance is requested. Except
for non-residential accessory structures in AG-1, AG-2.5 and AG-5, if the application is for one
hundred percent (100%) variance from road frontage requirements, proof of recorded legal
access shall be furnished with the application;
5. The purpose for the requested variance and a statement of the intended development of
property if the variance is granted;
6. A statement of the hardship imposed on the applicant by this Code; a statement setting forth
reasons why this hardship is unique to the applicant, and why the same hardship is not imposed
on other property in the neighborhood that is similarly situated; a statement of why the variance
will not be materially detrimental or injurious to other property or improvements in the
neighborhood in which the subject property is located; a statement of why the variance will not
increase traffic, the danger of fire, or impair property values in the neighborhood; a statement of
why the proposed variance is the minimum variance that will make possible a reasonable use of
the land, building, and structures; and a statement explaining how the proposed variance is
consistent with the general spirit and intent of this Code and the St. Lucie County
Comprehensive Plan;
7. If the variance is sought to erect or increase the height of any structure, to permit the growth of
any tree, or to use property in the Airport Zones established in Section 4.00.00,the application
shall be accompanied by a written determination from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA
Form 7460) as to the effect of the proposal on the operation of air navigation facilities and the
safe, efficient use of navigable airspace.
B. Filing an Application for Approval of a Variance. Within twenty (20) days after an application for
approval of a variance is submitted, the Growth Management Director shall determine whether the
application is complete. If the Director determines that the application is not complete, he shall send
Page 94 of 112
a written statement specifying the application's deficiencies to the applicant by mail. The Director
shall take no further action on the application unless the deficiencies are remedied.
C. Review of the Application.
1. Review by the Growth Management Director. When the Growth Management Director
determines an application for approval of a variance is complete, he shall review the application,
make a recommendation, and submit it to the Board of Adjustment.
2. Review by the Airport Director and the FDOT,
a. If the variance is sought to erect or increase the height of any structure, to permit the
growth of any tree, or to use property in the Airport Zones established in Section 4.00.00,
the Growth Management Director shall determine whether the application for approval of a
variance is complete. Once the application is complete, the Director shall furnish a copy of
the application to the St. Lucie County Airport Director and to the Florida Department of
Transportation Aviation Office, 605 Suwanee Street, MS-46, Tallahassee, Florida, within
ten (10) days of the determination of completeness for advice as to the aeronautical effects
of the variance.
b. Upon receipt of the comments of the Airport Director and the FDOT, the Growth
Management Director shall review the application, make a recommendation, and submit it
to the Board of Adjustment. If the Airport Director does not respond to the application within
fifteen (15) days and the Department of Transportation does not respond within forty-five
(45) days after receipt, the Director shall review the application, make a recommendation,
and submit it to the Board of Adjustment.
10.01.05. - Action of Board of Adjustment.
A. Upon notification that an application for a variance is complete, the Board of Adjustment shall place
the application on the agenda of a regularly scheduled meeting for a public hearing in accordance
with Section 11.00.03. In reviewing the application for variance approval, the Board of Adjustment
shall use the standards in Section 10.01.02. The Board may require the applicant to meet certain
conditions before approval of the variance.
B. Within a reasonable time of the hearing, the Board of Adjustment shall issue its decision approving,
approving with conditions, or denying through resolution the requested variance.
C. The Board of Adjustment may place reasonable conditions, limitations, and requirements upon the
granting of any variance as may be necessary to ensure compliance with the intent of this Code.
Such conditions, limitations, or requirements may be placed on the granting of any variance to
prevent or minimize adverse effects upon other property in the neighborhood which might otherwise
result from the reductions in standards being requested, including but not limited to conditions,
limitations, or requirements on the size, intensity of use, bulk, and location of any structure;
landscaping; lighting; the provision of adequate ingress and egress, and the duration of the variance.
Such conditions, limitations, or requirements shall be set forth expressly in the resolution granting the
variance.
D. Any variance from the provisions of Section 4.00.00, Airport Overlay Zone, will be so conditioned as
to require the owner of the structure or tree in question to install, operate, and maintain, at the
owner's expense, such markings and lights as required by F.S. § 333.07(3, in accordance with the
standards published in Chapter 14-60, FAC, Rules of the Department of Transportation. If deemed
proper by the Board of Adjustment, this condition may be modified to require the owner to permit St.
Lucie County at its own expense, to install, operate, and maintain the necessary markings and lights.
E. The decision of the Board of Adjustment shall be mailed to the petitioner and filed with the Office of
the Growth Management Director in accordance with Section 11.00.04(F).
10.01.06. - Extensions of Variance Approvals.
Page 95 of 112

of Adjustment not more than one (1) time, and for not more than twelve (12) months, upon application by
the applicant and after a public hearing held in accordance with Section 10.01.05.
10,01.07. - Appeals from the Board of Adjustment.

rendition of such decision, appeal to the courts of the State of Florida for relief in accordance with general
law.

Final report
TO: Tahir Curry, Planning & Development Services
THROUGH: Jennifer McGee, Environmental Regulations Manager
Amy E. Griffin, Environmental Resources Director
FROM: Brian Arbeiter, Environmental Planner
DATE: August 28, 2020
SUBJECT: Richard James Variance
BA-8202025830
Background
The Environmental Resources Department (ERD) is in receipt of Planning and Development Services August 25,
2020 date -stamped submittal. The applicant is seeking approval of a variance to decrease the minimum required
construction setback of 15-ft to the rear property line to allow for a proposed pool enclosure and an existing shed.
The proposed pool enclosure is to be built on the existing pool slab. The existing pool slab to property line setback
measures 0.5-ft and the shed to property line setback measures 4.2-ft. The subject site consists of one (1) single
family residence and is located at 4017 Greenwood Drive in Fort Pierce and is zoned RS-4.
Findings
The proposed variance is not anticipated to result in any adverse environmental impacts as the lot is already
developed and no increase to the existing construction footprint is proposed.
Recommendation
ERD has no objection to the proposed variance.
Please contact Brian Arbeiter at 772-462-2866 if you have any questions.
