32 a. ZVAR- 2011 -02, Lewis. Request for a variance from Section 24- 151(b)(1)xiv, to allow an
33 existing shower enclosure to be replaced at a distance of less than three (3) feet from the side
34 property line on an oceanfront lot located in the RG -M Zoning District at 2215 Alicia Lane
35 (Tiffany -by- the -Sea).
36
37 Ms. Doerr explained that the subject property is an oceanfront lot in the gated community of
38 Tiffany -by- the -Sea, and that there had been an existing shower located on the property line.
39 However, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), which has jurisdiction
40 over those lands seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) was requiring retaining
41 wall improvements, including terracing, and drainage improvements to mitigate erosion impacts
42 on the dune system. As a result, the existing shower enclosure had to be removed. During last
43 year's rewrite of the Land Development Regulations, a new provision, Section 24- 151(b)(1)xiv,

44 was added requiring that outdoor showers be set back a minimum of three (3) feet from rear or side
45 property lines.
46
47 Contractor Lenny T Boot, 2314 Wind Chime Drive, Jacksonville Beach, appeared before the
48 Board on behalf of the property owner Denise Lewis. Mr. Boot provided details of the retaining
49 wall and drainage improvements, and explained the need to remove the existing shower, and the
50 owners desire to replace it. He explained that this was merely the finishing up of a larger project,
51 and that approval had been obtained from the Homeowners' Association, and that FDEP had given
52 preliminary approval and would issue a notice to proceed once the Atlantic Beach Zoning
53 Department had signed off.
54
55 Kirk Hansen asked if the shower was located beyond the CCCL, and Mr. Boot replied that it was,
56 but FDEP had issued a full permit [with exception of the shower], and was only requiring a few
57 extra tiebacks. Chris Lambertson opened the hearing to public comment, and with there being
58 none, closed that portion of the hearing.
59
60 MOTION: Kirk Hansen, finding that the circumstances of this variance request met the grounds
61 for approval of a variance, specifically Section 24- 64(d)(4), onerous effect of regulations enacted
62 after platting or after development of the property or after construction of improvements upon the
63 property, moved that the Board approve this request to allow the replacement of an existing
64 shower at a distance less than three (3) feet from the side property line of a property located in the
65 RG -M Zoning District at 2215 Alicia Lane. Harley Parkes seconded the motion, and it passed
66 unanimously, 7 -0.
