STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 4.A
CASE NO. ZVAR22-0004
Request for a variance from Section 24-68(b)(2) to reduce the required on-site
storage of stormwater at 2337 Seminole Road.
LOCATION 2337 Seminole Road
APPLICANT Michael Dunlap
DATE March 7, 2022
STAFF Amanda Askew, Director of Planning and Community Development
STAFF COMMENTS
The applicant, Michael Dunlap, is representing the
owner of 2337 Seminole Road (RE# 168846-5001,
168846-5002, 168846-5004, 168846-5006). This ocean
front property is located south of Seminole Reach Drive
on the eastern side of Seminole Road and is in the
Residential, General, Multi-Family (RG-M) zoning
district.
A variance is being requested for Section 24-68(b)(2)
Stormwater, drainage, storage and treatment
requirements. The property consists of three (3)
condominiums on a 1.34-acre oceanfront lot. The
property owner is proposing to construct a 920 square
foot addition which triggers the required on-site
stormwater retention. Section 24-68(b)(2) states
“projects which do not exceed the fifty (50) percent threshold described in subsection (1) above, but
increase the impervious surface on the development parcel by more than two hundred fifty (250) square
feet shall provide onsite storage of stormwater for the increase in the impervious surface area only”.
In an effort to reduce local flooding and stormwater runoff Chapter 24 was updated in 2019 to add the
requirement for residential properties to provide on-site stormwater. Effective stormwater
management reduces the amount of runoff and runoff pollution by slowing runoff and allowing it to soak
in prior to discharge into the streets and/or stormwater systems. When stormwater stays close to where it
falls, less soil erosion occurs and fewer pollutants are carried to surface water. Lot coverage and
stormwater runoff have a direct correlation. The higher the impervious area (lot coverage) the more
stormwater is generated.
Most typical residential lots are developed very close or up to the maximum lot coverage (max. 45%).
With the proposed addition, this site will be at 31.7% lot coverage which is significantly less than most
residential developments. Again, the more impervious area (lot coverage) the more stormwater is
generated.
Page 2 of 3
The code trigger of more than a 250 square feet requires the entire new development to come into
compliance with the stormwater requirements. Meaning the total stormwater volume area for the new
development is calculated on the total square footage of the existing structure, the square footage of the
proposed addition and any other impervious surface areas. The applicant is has indicated that there is
approximately ½ acre of open pervious space located east of the existing structures which can be used as
a stormwater retention area rather than establishing designated storage areas on-site. Established on-site
stormwater areas typically have swales, pipes of or other means of water conveyance to direct water into
a storage area.
Onsite stormwater storage volume area is calculated by reviewing the impervious areas, the 25 year and
24 hours rainfall depth and the wet season water table. Once the required volume calculation is generated,
the design of the system can be distributed over the site in various ways. For example, the deeper the
pond the less lot area is required, the shallower the pond the greater area needed for storage.
ANALYSIS
Section 24-65 states that “applications for a variance shall be considered on a case-by-case basis, and shall
be approved only upon findings of fact that the application is consistent with the definition of a variance
and consistent with the provisions of this section.” According to Section 24-17, Definitions, “[a] variance
shall mean relief granted from certain terms of this chapter. The relief granted shall be only to the extent
as expressly allowed by this chapter and may be either an allowable exemption from certain provision(s)
or a relaxation of the strict, literal interpretation of certain provision(s). Any relief granted shall be in
accordance with the provisions as set forth in Section 24-65 of this chapter, and such relief may be subject
to conditions as set forth by the City of Atlantic Beach.”

Section 24-65(c) provides six distinct grounds for the approval of a variance:
(1) Exceptional topographic conditions of or near the property.
The applicant stated “large lot consists of 1.34 acres, at the east addition side there is approximately
½ acre of open pervious space for storm water drainage, over highly permeable sand”.
(2) Surrounding conditions or circumstances impacting the property disparately from nearby
properties.
(3) Exceptional circumstances preventing the reasonable use of the property as compared to other
properties in the area.
The applicant stated “this request and site condition is typical of neighboring properties”.
(4) Onerous effect of regulations enacted after platting or after development of the property or after
construction of improvements upon the property.
The applicant stated “no affected properties by this action, the addition is .03% impervious area
added to the 1.34-acre lot”.
(5) Irregular shape of the property warranting special consideration.
The applicant stated “the addition is .03% impervious added to the 1.34-acre lot”.
(6) Substandard size of a lot of record warranting a variance in order to provide for the reasonable
use of the property.
REQUIRED ACTION
The Community Development Board may consider a motion to approve ZVAR22-0004, request for a
variance from section 24-68(b)(2), upon finding this request is consistent with the definition of a variance,
and in accordance with the provisions of Section 24-65, specifically the grounds for approval delineated
in Section 24-65(c) and as described below.
A variance may be granted, at the discretion of the Community Development Board, for the
following reasons:
(1) Exceptional topographic conditions of or near the property.
(2) Surrounding conditions or circumstances impacting the property disparately from nearby
properties.
(3) Exceptional circumstances preventing the reasonable use of the property as compared to
other properties in the area.
(4) Onerous effect of regulations enacted after platting or after development of the property or
after construction of improvements upon the property.
(5) Irregular shape of the property warranting special consideration.
(6) Substandard size of a lot of record warranting a variance in order to provide for the
reasonable use of the property.
Or,
The Community Development Board may consider a motion to deny ZVAR22-0004, request for a
variance from Section 24-68(b)(2).
