4. Old Business
a Application for Variance filed by Kevin Byrnes to replat property and request for Lots 42, 44
and 46, Block 10, Plat No. 1, Subdivision "A."
Mr. Kevin Byrnes introduced himself, gave a brief history of his application and then distributed
additional information to the Board.
Mr. Byrnes stated that the Zoning and Subdivision Regulations, Section 24-47 titled, "The Administrative
Official" states "The administrative official shall have the following powers and responsibilities:
(8) To grant minor dimensional Variances, as detailed in this chapter if the Variance requested involves a
variation of less than 14 percent from this chapter requirement involved, or involves substitution of an
element of substantially equal character or performance to that required in this chapter." With regard to
the above, Mr. Byrnes offered the following information:
1. Lot depth: Lot A is 4.5 percent short of the required lot depth and Lot B is 1.7 percent short of the
required lot depth which is well within the 10 percent administrative approval;
2. Lot length; Lot A is 40 percent longer than required and Lot Bis 20 percent longer than required;
3. Lot area: Lot A is 34 percent larger than required and Lot B is 18 percent larger than the required
50 x 100 lot in Atlantic Beach;
4, Density: The definition for density is the number of lots that can be placed in an acre, which based on
a 50x100 lot, is 8.7 lots per acre. The two lots as proposed would map out to 6.7 lots per acre. From
Sherry Drive east to the ocean and from First Street north to Plaza, there are 489 parcels. There are only
32 lots that are larger than the existing lot so this lot is larger than 94 percent of the lots in Atlantic Beach,
Lot A is larger than 105 properties and Lot B is larger than 52 properties;
5. Trees: There are 13 large oaks trees which would not have to be moved, three palm trees that can be
relocated and three palm trees that need to be discarded because they are not worth relocating;
6. impervious Surface: The impervious surface area ratio on Lot A is 34 percent with inclusion of the
driveway and Lot B is 40 percent with inclusion of the driveway.
7. Distance Between Dwellings: Lots A and B are a greater distance from neighbors and themselves than
90 percent of the dwellings in Atlantic Beach.
Mr, Wolfson commended Mr. Byrnes on his work. He stated that it is very unusual for an applicant to
came back before the Board with such precise information. He further stated that, he was surprised that
Mr. Byrnes came before the Board because Mr. Worley had recommended approval of his request and it
Minutes of Community Development Board
June 19, 2001
Page 2
was within Mr. Worley's authority to grant Mr. Byrnes a variance. Mr. Wolfson stated that if this
variance was denied, he believes that Mr. Byrnes would be denied what is granted to every property
owner in the city and that is to use land that is larger than the minimum lot size with the only difference
being a reduction by less than five percent, requiring an administrative variance which is allowable by
law. Mr. Wolfson encouraged each Board member to look at this request responsibly because he is
concerned that if this request is denied, that Mr. Byrnes has recourse with the courts.
Mrs. Walker also commended Mr. Byrnes. She stated that the only question she had is with regard to the
strip of land along Sherry Drive that is being used in the calculation of the dimensions. Mr. Byrnes
distributed the deed and title insurance for the Board's review. Mr. Jacobson and Mrs. Walker reviewed
the deed and title insurance and Mrs. Walker stated it appeared that everything was in order.
Mr. Byrnes advised that with regard to the original drawing he submitted, Lot A was 60 feet and Lot B
was 70 feet. He stated that he moved the lot lines on Lot A to 70 feet and Lot B to 60 feet because the
Zoning and Subdivision Regulations state that a comer lot is bigger than the typical lot. Mr. Wolfson
clarified, and Mr. Byrnes concurred, that Lot A would be 6,700 square feet and Lot B would be 5,940
square feet.
Mr. Burkhart moved to approve the variance as presented. Mrs. Walker seconded the motion.
Mr. Wolfson requested that all Board members review the Variance Worksheet prior to voting.
The question was called and the motion passed by unanimous vote.
b. Application for Variance filed by Gay Weber to replace the existing non -conforming structure
with a new non -conforming structure located at 331 Second Street.
Mr. Wolfson withdrew the application because the applicant was not present.
5. New Business
a. Application for Variance filed by Scott Neap to decrease the rear yard setback to construct an
addition at 1575 Seminole Road.
Mr. Scott Heap introduced himself and stated that he has owned this house since 1976 and would like to
expand the space because he and his family are outgrowing the house. He further stated that he and his
wife spoke to four or five different builders who advised them that their only option is to expand to the
back of the house.
Mrs. Walker asked the applicant to elaborate on what he is proposing to add to the house. Mr. Heap
stated that downstairs he would be expanding the kitchen, expanding the backside of the house to add a
great room, and upstairs he would be adding a bathroom and expanding the master bedroom. Mrs.
Walker asked if any of the builders attempted to stay within the setback requirements. Mr. Heap
responded that the house is already at the maximum side yard setbacks and adding to the front of the
house would cost too much. Mr. Burkhart suggested using the proposed pian for the second floor as it is
and changing the first floor plan so the great room is long and narrow allowing Mr. Heap to stay within
the setback requirements. Mr. Burkhart also suggested attempting to stay within the 10 percent margin
with a two -foot reduction of the setback and then he would not have to come back before the Board. Mr.
Heap responded that a big part of their lifestyle at the beach is being outside and cooking out and they
want to have a gathering area outside the kitchen.
