Correction Comments:
1.The building permit application for the shed is incomplete.There is a space for the LEGAL DESCRIPTION and the RE#.Both of those spaces were not
filled out or incorrectly filled out. Both of those spaces are legal descriptions as to where the lot is located in Duval County.This information for both of
those spaces on the application can be found on the Duval County Property Appraiser's website.Please resubmit the application completed.
2.It appears that the required setbacks were not observed in the placement of the shed.If the variance to let it stay where it is at is not approved,the
shed will have to be moved to the specified setback distance or be removed from the property.
3. Please fill out the Florida Product Approval Information Sheets for the components and cladding material used for this shed.Siding and Metal roof.
Please provide the FL#and the manufacturer's installation instructions for both of these items for plan review and inspection of these products.
4.Please set up a meeting with myself to go over the drawings submitted.There are questions I have about the construction of the shed as well as
further construction practices that will need to be implemented to the shed;involving a continuous load path for protection against wind loads in our
jurisdiction.This may require opening up of some of the wall spaces for inspection.

3. OLD BUSINESS
There was no old business. Director Askew introduced Richard Schooling as a new alternate
Board member.
4. NEW BUSINESS
A. ZVAR21-0006 PUBLIC HEARING(Richard Powell)
Request for a variance to reduce the minimum rear and side yard setbacks for an
existing shed at 1336 Violet Street
STAFF REPORT: Planner Genest presented the information as explained in the staff
report. She also provided a PowerPoint presentation.
Mr. Haynie asked if there was a retention pond and what the requirement will be for the
applicant if the variance is approved. Director Askew explained that this property pre-
dates the requirement for retention. She that if this variance is approved Staff would
require retention to be located somewhere else on site along with the filing of the required
deeds and covenants. There was further discussion regarding the retention location and
size. Ms. Lagner asked if the shed was complete. Planner Genest said it was already
complete. Mr. Major asked if it could be moved. Director Askew said they would need
to ask the applicant. He asked what the maximum square footage could be on a shed.
Director Askew said it is a maximum of 150 square feet.
APPLICANT COMMENT: Ms. Durden asked the applicant and anyone planning on
speaking(including staff) to raise their hand. She held the swearing in.
Richard Powell introduced himself and his wife Jennifer as the applicants. Jennifer
Powell presented pictures to the Board. She explained the history of the shed and
apologized for not getting a permit before installing it. Mr. Powell said the shed was
completed 16-18 months ago. Mr. Haynie asked about the foundation. Mr. Powell said
it is off the ground and the posts were in concrete. Mr. Haynie asked why they picked
the spot where they built the shed. The Powell's said it was the flattest portion of the
yard and they already had a shed located there. Mr. Haynie asked whether they have
applied for a permit. Mr. Powell said he received a stop work order so he applied for a
permit and was then told he would need a variance. Mr. Major asked how far the shed
was from the property line. Mr. Powell said it is over 2 feet from the property line.
Director Askew said the survey doesn't show the fence and another survey would have
to be done to get an accurate measurement.
PUBLIC COMMENT: There were no public comments.
BOARD DISCUSSION: Ms. Lagner asked for clarification on the retention. Director
Askew said that if it the variance is approved then an engineer would have to verify if it
still has the capacity to hold the storm water. Mr. Haynie said he could see the variance
fitting condition #3 (exceptional circumstances). Mr. Major did not see reason for
approval. Ms. Lagner said that based on the water issue in the yard, she doesn't have a
problem with approval. Mr. Schooling agreed that the fact that the shed is on piers and

the water can flow underneath works in the applicant's favor. Ms. Simmons wasn't sure
that condition #6 (sub-standard size of the lot) was qualification for approval. She did
think that condition#1 (exceptional topography) might be more suited. Mr. Major said
he couldn't see condition#6 fitting this situation.
Ms. Durden explained that if the Board was to make a motion to approve that they add a
condition for the applicant to comply with the on-site retention requirement since the
current location of the shed takes away from that. She said that with a condition it would
give Staff the right to see whether or not there is enough retention. Ms. Durden added
that the recording of the deed restriction should also be part of the condition.
Ms. Lagner asked if the applicant would have to pay for a survey and engineering to do
that. Director Askew said that the applicant would probably have to get an updated
survey which would be submitted to the Director of Public Works and he would do the
calculations. Ms. Lagner was concerned about the financial impact if they were required
to do that. Mr. Haynie said that it was his understanding that it would probably be a
requirement due to the code even if the Board doesn't make it a condition. He said that
the lack of a permit was a code enforcement issue and he believed the approval for a
variance easily fits under#3 and potentially#1, #4 and#6.
MOTION: To APPROVE ZVAR21-0006 on the condition that the applicant complies with
the water retention requirements and record a deed restriction that reflects that compliance in
the future.
