Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency March 13, 2013 Page 6 Mr. Sorensen said the variance application meets one of the six criteria for granting the variance. He said staff recommends denial. He said if the Planning and Zoning Commission chooses to grant the variance requested for BA 13 -01, for the property located at 2215 Winslow Circle, to allow an 8' encroachment into the 20' rear yard building setback for a covered porch, the motion should be based upon the Planning and Zoning Commission's findings of fact and conclusions, the property site plan attached to the staff report as Exhibit A, and the following conditions: 1. The variance shall only pertain to the building addition of the impervious roof porch cover as shown in the staff report. 2. A building permit for the structure shall be obtained from the City within 90 days of the approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission. 3. The structure shall meet all other site development criteria at the time of permitting. 4. All of the above conditions shall be fully and faithfully executed or the variance shall become null and void. In response to the Commission's question, Mr. Sorensen stated that a screen room has a 5' setback from the rear property line. Mr. Sorensen explained that under the City Code the 20' setback applies to this structure because it has a roof and it is attached to the main structure. A brief discussion ensued regarding the side yard setback and previous variances granted in the area. Mr. Meadows asked the applicant to come forward. Ms. Lynn Hastings, 2215 Winslow Circle, Casselberry, Florida and Mr. Tom Hastings, 101 Bush Boulevard, Sanford, Florida came forward, In response to the Commission's question, Mr. Hastings stated that the walls would be screened. The Commission was concerned that the screen room would be turned into a room with masonry walls. Mr. Meadows asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the request. No one came forward.

He said the motion is based on the Planning and Zoning Commission's finding of fact and conclusions, the property site plan attached to the staff report as Exhibit A and the five conditions of approval outlined
