Good afternoon Mr. Skaff,
As I mentioned on our phone call, I'm following up with you via email because we covered a lot of material.
History recap:
• The city received an inadvertent inquiry about the improvements (fence, pavers and porch) made to
1110 Scheidel Ct.
• We have no building permit records for these improvements and a stop work order was issued for this
property.
There are several steps and/or ways to come into compliance with the stop work order:
• Submit a building permit application for all unpermitted work (based on what was relayed and what
can be seen on the property appraisers website, there could be some issues approving
permit. However, without a copy of your survey and a site plan this cannot be verified.
• If the building permit is denied because of zoning issues (lot coverage, fence height, setbacks, drainage,
etc.) then the variance route is an available option. As I mentioned, variances can only be approved by
the community development board if they find one of the six factors are meet as listed in section 24-65
(d). This is a link to those conditions:
https://library.municode.com/fl/atlantic beach/codes/code of ordinances?nodeld=PTIICOOR CH24L
ADEREARTIIIZORE DIV3APPR S24-6
• The application for a variance can be found at: https://fl-
atlanticbeach3.civicplus.com/DocumentCenteJView/9752/Variance-Application?bidld=. The next
steps after the variance process depends on the outcome of your request.
• Prior to submission of a buildng permit, if you determine you will not get approval of your building
permit for zoning reasons you can skip the buidling permit process and go straight to the varinace
process.
OR
• Remove all unpermit improvements.
I have copied Angela Irizarry, our code enforcment officer, on this email to keep her in the loop. As discussed,
as long as you are working with the city to come to a resolution we will not schdule a hearing before the
special magistrate. I encourage you to continue to communicate with us as we go through this procress.
Attached is an older copy of the survey we have on-file for this property. As a starting point, I recommend you
measureing and drawing in unpermit improvement to determine if a variance is necessary.
This property is zoned Residential General Multi-family (RG-M). As outlined by section 24-108 the following
are the setbacks and lot coverage:
(e) Minimum yard requirements. The minimum yard requirements in the RG-M zoning are:
(1) Front yard:Twenty (20) feet.
(2) Rear yard: Twenty (20) feet.
(3) Side yard:
a. Single-family dwellings: Combined fifteen (15) total feet and five (5) minimum feet on either
side.
b. Two-family (duplex) dwellings and townhouse: Seven and one-half(7.5) each side.
c. Multi-family dwellings: Fifteen (15) feet each side.
(f) Building restrictions. The building restrictions for the RG-M zoning district shall be as follows:
(1) Maximum impervious surface: Forty-five (45) percent; provided, however, where lawfully existing
structures and improvements on a parcel exceed this applicable percentage, redevelopment of such
parcels or additions/modifications to such structures and improvements shall not exceed the pre-
existing impervious surface percentage, provided the requirements of section 24-68 are met.
(2) Maximum building height: Thirty-five (35) feet.

Good afternoon,
I am just writing to check up on the status of survey and application for the fence and rear yard structure. Can you let
me know if the survey is complete and if you are ready to submit?

Hi there,
I have reached out to Boatwright Land Surveyors and am waiting on them to let me know which day they will
be coming out to do the updated survey. They said it could take up to 3-4 weeks for it to be completed once the
updated survey is done.
I will keep you posted!
Thank you,

Thank you for the detailed email outlining my options. I want to be very proactive in resolving this issue and
having this up to code and permitted.
As you can imagine, deciding on what route to go is a bit overwhelming. I'd like to have someone come out to
my condo that can tell me exactly what needs to be modified in order for it to be permitted because I'm unsure
of each code and what exactly needs to be modified regarding the Pergola to correct the issues. Can you
recommend someone from the city to come out that can tell me what changes need to be made or would I call a
general home inspector or even a general contractor? Who is it that I need to reach out to that can tell me
exactly what needs to be done to resolve this.
I would appreciate any further help in getting this resolved.

Attachments: Variance app start.pdf
Hi there Angela,
I received your letter this morning notifying us again of the Code Enforcement violation. Wanted to provide a
quick update that we have been working with Abrielle and Derek in order to properly fill out our Variance
Application. We have the attached Variance Application started but again, there are a few areas we were not
sure how to fill out and/or needed further details so that we could clearly state our case (our lot size vs standard,
impervious surface calculations, etc). Abrielle and Derek have been extremely helpful here.
I believe we are supposed to meet with Abrielle today, actually.
The other caveat here is I am actually leaving for my honeymoon in Europe early next week,returning June 5th.
Last we spoke to Abrielle, she said we should submit our Variance Application after May 29th so that we could
either join the Board Hearing on June 20th or even July 18th if that was easiest.
Hope this provides some clarity here, and I apologize for the delayed response. Will try to keep you more up to
date on our progress!
Kind regards,
Mitch

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
My wife and I purchased this condo a year ago(it was previously a Habitat for Humanity property).We were so excited to live in Atlantic Beach.We
both graduated from college,saved our money and couldn't wait to buy our first home together.All we wanted was to find a place we could afford
at the beach.
The pergola was the selling point for us as it was well-made and just beautiful,as you can see from the pictures,it's not any old pergola!We spend
most of our time in that space entertaining friends and family!
Unfortunately,it was not disclosed to us by the previous owner that it was not permitted before it was built.
Since becoming aware of the issue,we have obtained a new Land Survey,spoken with Angela and Abrielle of code enforcement multiple times to
get advice on next steps.We have also reached out to Public Works,as instructed.It has been suggested to us that we come before the board to
plead our case and to ask for a variance,whereas we are able to keep our pergola with some adjustments.
Regarding the pavers,we have been told that even if we removed all the pavers except for the driveway,we would still be at 47%impervious,
which is still 2%over the code.
We are requesting a hardship be considered regarding the size of our lot,we would like it to be known that our lot size,in comparison to other lots,
told to us by code enforcement,is significantly smaller,allowing much less opportunity for design.
Regarding the value of our condo,it would dramatically drop without the pergola,we would be paying a significant amount of our mortgage
without the full value.It would be devalued tremendously along with the value of this neighborhood.We would likely be forced to sell our home
and it would be catastrophic to us from a financial standpoint,as well as,personally. We are assurred this pergola adds value to this particular area
of Atlantic Beach and certainly to our street.
In closing,we cannot overstate how catastrophic losing the pergola would be for us personally and financially.We would be forced to strongly
consider moving out of Atlantic Beach,which we have grown to love over the past year.We have built our lifestyle with out condo and Atlantic
Beach itself. We certainly could not afford anywhere else in Atlantic Beach. So,we humbly ask that you please,please allow us to keep the pergola
with whatever modifications you deem necessary.We cannot express how grateful and relieved we would be to be allowed to keep our pergola.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this stressful matter.

two hundred fifty (250) square fee shall provide onsite storage of stormwater for the increase in the
impervious surface area only.
• Storm Water Retention — In accordance with code, any addition of more than 250sq
feet of impervious surface requires the installation of storm water retention on the
property. Over 250sq feet of impervious surface was added to the property consisting
of pavers and the rear porch and no storm water retention was provided.
Sec. 24-108. - Residential, multi -family district (RG -M). (f) Building restrictions. The building
restrictions for the RG -M zoning district shall be as follows:(1) Maximum impervious surface: Forty-
five (45) percent; provided, however, where lawfully existing structures and improvements on a parcel

structures and improvements shall not exceed the pre-existing impervious surface percentage, provided
the requirements of section 24-68 are met.
• Lot coverage —Lot coverage was increased from the previously approved 51% in
2006 to 75.6% due to the addition of the covered porch and the installation of pavers
in the rear and side yard.

STATEMENT OF CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER:
This property was issued a stop work order on 9/27/2022 for the installation of a covered porch and
wood fencing without a permit. The unpermitted porch encroaches into the side and rear setbacks. The
porch and unpermitted pavers created additional impervious surface and increased lot coverage above
the maximum allowed by code. The additional coverage of more than 250 square feet also triggered the
code requirement for the installation of storm water retention which was not put in place. The project
could not be approved as it was constructed.
The respondent submitted a variance application to the Community Development Board for the
impervious surface, storm water retention and set back encroachments. The request was heard at the
6/20/2023 meeting. The variance request was denied by the Board. The fencing was not included in the
variance application.
The respondent requested an appeal of the Community Development Board's decision of denial before
commission. Their appeal was heard on 10/20/2023 by the City of Atlantic Beach commission and was
denied.
To date, the porch has not been removed. The pavers have not been removed. No permit application has
been received for the fence. The rear fence exceeds the maximum height permitted by code and the
front fence exceeds the maximum height permitted by code.
You have the right to obtain an attorney at your own expense and to present witnesses on your behalf. If
