Re: Request for minor dimensional variances for property located at 650 Palm Avenue
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Zsomboran:
I write in reply to your attached request seeking a minor dimensional variance from minimum
yard requirements as established for the RS-2 Zoning District. Section 24-47 (8) of the Zoning
and Subdivision Regulations for the City of Atlantic Beach authorizes the Community
Development Director to grant such Variances provided the reduction in certain standards does
not exceed ten (10) percent of the established standard. (This provision will change to a
maximum administrative waiver of five (5) percent upon the effective date of the amended
zoning regulations.)
As depicted on your proposed site plan, you have requested that the combined fifteen (15) foot
side setback be reduced to fourteen (14) feet and six (6) inches. (As a matter of record, I note
that the minimum five foot side setback is provided on both sides of the lot.) You have also
requested that the required twenty (20) foot front yard be reduced to eighteen (18) feet and six
(6) inches. In that both of these requested waivers are less than the ten (10) perc ent as set forth
within Section 24-47, your request to reduce the required front and side yards as described above
is hereby approved.
To summarize, the required front yard shall be eighteen (18) feet and six (6) inches, and the
combined fifteen (15) foot required side yard shall be fourteen (14) feet and six (6) inches. Also,
be aware that the project must commence, and Building Permits must be issued within one year
of this date, or the terms of this administrative variance shall expire. Please submit a copy of this
letter along with any application for Building Permits, and feel free to call me at 247-5817 with
any questions.
Sincerely,
Sonya B. Doerr, AICP
Community Development Director
