Board of Adjustment June 22. 2006 Page 4 Mr. Billerbeck asked the applicant to come forward. Mr. David King said he is trying to protect his property from any more damage. In response to the Board's question, Mr. King stated that the existing two-car garage is used as a laundry area, storage of a bass boat and miscellaneous equipment. Mr. King said he has submitted written statements to Mr. Dorsten from the adjacent neighbors stating they have no objection to the carport. A discussion ensued regarding possible solutions for the applicant if the variance was denied. The Westside Small Area Study was discussed briefly. Mr. King said he used the internet to research the City Code to determine if a free standing structure or carport required a building permit. He said that the information on the internet was not current and it is updated yearly which makes it difficult for a citizen to determine what items require a permit. There was no rebuttal by the City. In response to the Board's question, Mr. Dorsten stated that there have been no code changes to the accessory structure portion of the Code within the last 18 months. A discussion ensued regarding the notification of the Westside Small Area Study. Mr. Billerbeck asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of the request. Mr. Aurilio Zonni, 421 Forest Park, Casselberry, Florida came forward to speak in favor of the request. He said the structure is very solid and it matches the rest of the building. Mr. Zonni said he is concerned with disabled vehicles in his neighborhood. Mr. Billerbeck asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in opposition to the request. Mr. Roy Burkett, 7306 Winding Lake Circle, Oviedo, Florida came forward to speak in opposition to the request. Mr. Burkett said he is representing Mr. Cerni, property owner at 87 and 91 North Griffin Drive, Casselberry, Florida. He said Mr. Cerni is concerned with the impact on his property and the ability to acquire future renters. He said Mr. Cerni believes it is an unwanted intrusion extending too far toward the roadway. There were no general citizen's comments. Mr. Billerbeck asked the applicant for a closing statement. A discussion ensued regarding the signed affidavit from the person residing at 91 North Griffin Drive and it was determined that the affidavit was signed by the tenant and not the property owner.
