Board of Adjustment July 27, 2006 Page 3 Mr. Billerbeck asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in opposition to the request. No one came forward. Mr. Billerbeck asked the applicant for a closing statement. Mr. Steve Berg said they have spent approximately $6000 in architect and engineering fees. He said to redesign the addition would require discarding the original drawings and starting over. After a brief discussion, Mr. Billerbeck asked for a motion for BA 06-08. Mr. Miller made a motion to approve BA 06-08 with the Board of Adjustment findings which are: 1. Special condition exists due to the pie shape of the lot and is peculiar to the area. 2. The conditions were not created by the applicant in that it was preexisting prior to the applicant's purchase of the property. 3. Special privileges would not be conferred upon the applicant because of similar properties on Crystal Bowl Circle that do not have as much lead way as Mr. Criswell stated and the City of Casselberry did not challenge that. 4. Hardship conditions do exist in that the applicants have spent a significant amount of money in improving their property value and curb appeal. 5. This would be the only minimal variance granted to accomplish what they need in the 1.5 foot encroachment. 6. It is not injurious to the public welfare. It helps to increase the value and curb appeal of their property. Mr. McMullen seconded the motion. Mr. Miller amended his motion to include staff's recommendations. Mr. McMullen seconded the motion.
