ORDER
APPLICANT: Michael Dunlap
(on behalf of Lee Ferguson)
2069 Beach Avenue
Atlantic Beach, Florida 32233
FILE NUMBER: ZVAR-13-00100064 (2069 Beach Avenue)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: July 16, 2013
ORDER GRANTING VARIANCE
The above referenced applicant requested a variance from Section 24-106(e)(2), to reduce the
required rear yard setback for the principal structure from twenty (20) feet to sixteen (16) feet,
nine (9) inches, to allow a first floor addition to a single-family dwelling located on a property
within the Residential Single -Family (RS -2) zoning district at 2069 Beach Avenue.
On July 16, 2013, a public hearing was held and said request was considered by the City of Atlantic
Beach Community Development Board. Having considered the application, supporting documents
and comments by staff, the applicant, and members of the public, the Community Development
Board unanimously GRANTED the request as submitted, finding, as also determined by a previous
Board, the proposed development is consistent with the provisions of Section 24-64(d) of the land
development regulations establishing ground for approval of a variance, as follows:
(1) The subject property does have topographic variation typical of most oceanfront lots in
the vicinity, and the preservation of the primary dune system has constrained
construction to the western portion of the parcel; and,
(2) The western (rear) property line which abuts the Beach Avenue right-of-way is angled
and therefore results in an irregularly shaped lot.
No further action on another application for substantially the same request on the same property
shall be accepted for three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the date of this Order.
Appeal of a final decision of the Community Development Board may be made to the City
Commission by any adversely affected person(s). Such appeal shall be filed in writing with the City
Clerk within thirty (30) days after rendition of this Order. The appellant shall present to the City
Clerk a petition, duly verified, setting forth that the decision being appealed is in conflict with or in
violation of Chapter 24, Zoning, Subdivision and Land Development Regulations for the City of
Atlantic Beach, in whole or in part, and specifying the grounds of the conflict or violation. The
ZVAR-13-00100064
Order Granting Variance
July 18, 2013
petition shall be presented to the City Commission within thirty (30) days after the filing of the
appeal with the City Clerk.
The undersigned certifies that the above Order of the Community Development Board is a true and
correct rendition of the Order adopted by said Board as appears in the record of the Community
Development Board minutes.
DATED THIS 18TH DAY OF JULY 2013.
