property was acquired. Mr. Griffin inquired about the dimensional standards of the LDC. Mr. Benton stated
it would most likely be 1990. Katherine Barbieri, Assistant County Attorney, clarified that it was about 30
years ago and that it does not make this property non -conforming. Chairman Lowe clarified that the pole
barn was built by the applicant and the shed was pre-existing.
APPLICANT PRESENTATION
Joseph Branca, 4960 Conley Place, Fort Pierce, FL 34951. Mr. Mencer asked about the reason the pole barn
was built without a permit. Mr. Branca stated he was not aware and that the hardship is with the cost of
the demolition of the pole barn.
BOARD DISCUSSION
Mr. Griffin inquired about the age of the shed. The applicant replied he does not know. Mr. Griffin inquired
about the affidavit for neighbors to the north. The applicant responded that he did not have affidavits
signed on the shed as the shed came up as a required variance later on in the process. Chair Lowe asked if
the applicant designed the pole barn. Applicant replied that he did not, that it came with a kit. Mr. Lowe
inquired about the slant of the pole barn. Applicant replied that he did not have a survey of his property to
know where his property line was. It was parallel to the county fence. Chair Lowe inquired if he realized
that he needed a permit. The applicant responded that he did not. Mr. Lowe inquired if the property has
septic and well. The applicant responded that it is connected to County.
PUBLIC COMMENT

Ms. Barbieri responded that the board as authority to make reasonable conditions for the shed. Mr.
Mencer stated his concerns regarding setbacks and not obtaining permits originally. Mr. Griffin asked if
the pole barn is on a concrete slab. Mr. Benton replied he believes its shell rock. Ms. Barbieri added that
the board may choose to approve the variance for the pole barn with reasonable conditions and deny the
shed. Mr. Tommie inquired regarding the presentation of the variance request. Mr. Mencer inquired if he
motioned to approve but conditioned for applicant to comply with setbacks. Ms. Barbieri responded that
would be equivalent to a denial because a variance is not required for complied setbacks. Mr. Tommie
inquired if variance is approved the applicant wouldn't have to obtain the permit? Mr. Benton replied that
if approved the applicant can proceed with building permit request to obtain the permit and have building
inspect both structures. Mr. Mencer withdrew his motion.

The applicant, Mario Arbucci, is requesting a Variance from the minimum building setback requirements, as
approved by the 2003 Watersong Planned Unit Development (PUD) Site Plan, for a proposed three-story, single-
family residence to encroach 13 feet, respectively, into the required minimum 40 foot rear yard setback measured
from the 1978 CCCL. The development regulations for the Watersong PUD requires principle structures to be 40
feet from the 1978 CCCL. This 40' rear yard setback is designated as an accessory use area. Permitted accessory
uses include pools, decks, and screen enclosures.
The undeveloped subject 0.12-acre corner lot is located on South Hutchinson Island at 4800 Watersong Way, Fort
Pierce. The subject property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD), with a consistent RU (Residential, Urban)
Future Land Use designation.
August 14, 2020, the applicant received a Consultation Letter for the subject development, issued by the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), stating that "In general, structures should be located as far
landward as practicable to the local front yard setback....".
August 20, 2020, St. Lucie County provided a Letter of No Objection to the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP). The letter was based on a review of a conceptual site plan with the assumption that the eastern
segment, depicted on the conceptual plan, was a balcony projection and not the foundation and/or structural walls
of the single-family residence.
September 28, 2020, FDEP issued a Notice to Proceed and Permit for Construction and Other Activities for
development seaward of the 1988 Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL).
Page 12 of 57
Background
The Environmental Resources Department (ERD) is in receipt of the October 21", 2020 date -stamped submittal
from Planning and Development Services. The applicant is seeking approval of a variance to decrease the
minimum building to rear property line setback of 40-ft, which was originally specified in the PUD's approved
master site plan from 2003. The proposed rear property line setback would measure 27.1-ft. The subject site
consists of a vacant 0.20-acre lot (Parcel ID 2532-500-0045-000-2) located at 4800 Watersong Way in Fort
Pierce.
Findings
The proposed variance is not anticipated to result in any adverse environmental impacts as the lot has been
previously filled and impacted.
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, 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 is not the result of an unnecessary hardship for the property owner as distinguished from a
mere inconvenience. The applicant has still not demonstrated a special circumstance. The conflict is created
by the actions of the property owner who desires to construct a single-family residence on Lot 31 in such a
manner that it will encroach within the 40-foot rear yard setback measured from the 1978 CCCL. The
subject property has no unique environmental conditions, nor are there any known regulatory conditions
that would prevent the single-family residence from being placed in such a manner that would comply with
the approved PUD Site Plan.
The snapshot below shows the potential shift of the single-family residence satisfying the minimum setback
requirements.
Page 13 of 57
Exhibit 1: Proposed vs. Setback Compliant Building Footprint
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 thedanger
of fire, create a hazard to air navigation, endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or
impair property values within the neighborhood.
The surrounding properties are all within the Watersong PUD and are subject to the same setback
requirements. The approved Watersong PUD site plan requires all single-family residences located on
Ocean Front Lots to be setback a minimum of 40 feet from the 1978 CCCL. This Variance will allow this
home to be placed farther east than the existing homes and future homes to be constructed thereby possibly
obstructing the view and property values.
The granting of the requested variance is not expected to impair an adequate supply of light or air to adjacent
public streets, increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety. Upon the permitting process, the
single-family residence will be required to meet all applicable building and fire codes.
The Watersong Architectural Review Board (ARB) has submitted a letter of support for the subject
Variance request.
The Watersong PUD consists of 45 second tier lots and 44 ocean front lots. The lots are compact in nature
and accessed via an internal private roadway.
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, building,
4
Page 14 of 57
and structures. It is the action of the property owner to design this three-story residence in a manner that
does not comply with the minimum rear setback established by the approved Watersong PUD Site Plan.
The property owner has not demonstrated any encumbrances that would limit the ability to shift the
placement of the home, to comply with the minimum setback requirements. The proposed front setback is
greater than the minimum required by the PUD and could be shifted in the southeastern direction. As per the
August 2020 FDEP Letter of No Objection, by not locating the structure "as far landward as practical, it is
contradictory to the consultation and recommendation.

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). Pursuant to LDC Section 7.01.03.C, Planned Unit Developments establish their own minimum building
setbacks for structures at the time of Preliminary and Final Development Plan approval. Planning staff does not
find that a 13-foot encroachment into the required 40-foot rear yard setback is consistent with the purpose of
the approved site plan and FDEP letter. This variance conflicts with the adopted zoning standards approved by
the Board of County Commissioners. Authorizing an exception for one home would set a negative precedent
and potentially allow other variances for setback encroachments in this subdivision, as it is predominantly
undeveloped at this time.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has reviewed this petition and determined that it does not conform to the strict interpretation of the standards
of review as set forth in St. Lucie County's Land Development Code Section 10.01.02.; therefore, Staff is
recommending denial of the requested variance.

Variance Application Supplement 2
Answers
1. The variance I seek is to alter the rear setback from 40 feet to 27 feet. This will not
lengthen the structure but, add some additional space in the front setback area.
2. The purpose of the variance is to move the home back for a more reasonable
utilization of the subject property.
1 A, The larger (than any other Watersong lot of this type) comer lot is hindered by
the radius of the private Watersong road making the center placement of the home
impossible without reducing the rear setback. B. The pending development of
"Tract B to the no side of the property has already been given approval for
permitting with a 20 foot rear setback from the FDr3P. This site plan will be
submitted to the County soon. When the adjacent home in "Tract B" is
constructed the home will impact this property. C. The County property appraiser
values this property at 25% higher value for tax assessments than all other
Watersong lots of this type. Without this variance this lot has nothing more of
value to substantiate this assessment.
4. A. My purpose for choosing this lot was to place my home further from my
neighbor to the south. The variance is needed to do this. B. All other Watersong
lots of this type are about 40 foot wide and 130 feet long, rectangular in shape and
have the private road on just the front side. The Subject lot is the only lot of this
shape and size and has the private road rounding one front comer. C. The I'DEP
shore study is what initially determines what rear setback is possible. The
shoreline study at the north side of Watersong where the subject property is
located allows for a 20 rear setback. Watersong as a whole and to have just one
rear setback needed 40 feet. That is why this was used in the lot detail on the
RIJ.D.. Watersong "Tract B" shows a planned setback of just 20 feet.
5. A. Ibis variance presents no impact to the Watersong community. As a point of
fact, there is already a borne located at. 4844 Watersong Way (Lot 42) at about the
same setback as this variance request. B. My neighbor to the south currently has
a home just 12 feet away on his south side. This variance will put n-ty home 1.3
feet further back but, he will get the benefit of 34 feet between our homes,
G. This variance will cause no increase to traffic, danger of fire or impair property
value. It will. improve the fire departments ability to combat a fire to both the
subject property and the neighboring property by allowing more space fear fire
trucks to access them.
7. The designed home within the allowed square footage and the placement is in
excess of the other three setbacks with the exception of the front right corner
because of the radius of the road. The placement of the home shows reasonable
use of the land
8 '11is is the same model home built several times already in the community of
Watersong. It is consistent with all their architectural guidelines. It has no
negative impacts on the I. or St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.
9. Yes.
10. Watersong.l.forneowners Association, inc..
11. Yes. A letter from the Watersong IIOA approving it is attached and signed by the
Board president.
11 A letter flrom the Watersong POA approving it is attached and signed by the Board
president.
13. It should also be noted that this planwas submitted and approved by Zoning on
8/20/20. See "Letter of Local Approval".

Dear Mr. Smith:
Xlff���
Noah Valenstein
Secretary
Via E'lectronic Transmittal
CNS File Number: CNS-SL-0085
Property Owner Name: Watersong (Phase I)
Location of Subject Property: Between 188 feet and 248 feet south of Department reference monument R-64,
in St. Lucie County
Project Address: Lot 31, Watersong Way, Fort Pierce.
This is in response to your email dated July 29, 2020 requesting comments on the permitting requirements for a
single-family residence seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) at the subject property. The
following information was submitted to the Department along with the letter: Survey from Arnold Surveying,Inc.
dated 7/3/2020, a proposed site plan sheet C I from James Bushouse, Inc. dated 7/13/2020, and an aerial Exhibit I
from Erickson Engineers, Inc. dated January 2011.
Pursuant to subparagraph 62B-33,005(3)(a), Florida Administrative Code, the Department may not
authorize any construction. or activity whose cumulative impact will threaten the beach and dune
system, dune vegetation, or its recovery potential following a major storm event. The extent of
encroachment of a structure seaward of the control line is determined on a site -specific basis. In
general, structures should be located as far landward as practicable to the local front yard setback
!W
sufficient distance landward of the dune crest or dune bluff to allow for natural dune processes to
occur.
The lines on construction as proposed for major structures and ancillary (i.e. minor) structures on
the Site Plan received with your July 29 letter appear acceptable because they appear to
match the lines for similar structures for Phase I of the development to the imi-nediate south, which
was previously approved by the Department. The line of construction for major structures varies
from 165 feet seaward of the CCCL on the northernmost lot 31 (per email but listed as 47 on the exhibit).
This distance should be verified with a survey. The proposed distances on Lot 3 1 shown on the site plan page I
are acceptable and within the line of construction.
These comments are based upon the information provided and represent my assessment. You are also advise,41
that you must meet all the requirements of Chapter 62B-33, F.A.C. This consultation does not constitute th@
approval of the Department-, shall not bind the staff, the Division, or Secretary; and shall not relieve any person

The proposed major structure(s) is to be located landward of the 30-year erosion projection and the existing

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: After considering the merits of the proposal and any written objections from
affected persons, the Department finds that upon compliance with the permit conditions, the activities

Department. Therefore, future construction on the site seaward of the coastal construction control line shall
not extend further seaward of, or increase the shore -parallel coverage occupied by, the proposed structures
approved pursuant to this pen -nit. Based on the foregoing considerations, the Department approves the
