Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency September 12, 2012 Page 5 Commission's findings of fact and conclusions, the staff report dated September 12, 2012, the property survey (Exhibit B), and the following conditions: 1. The fence shall not exceed six feet and shall not be enlarged in any way. 2. The fence shall be maintained in good repair and the good side must face out. 3. The fence shall only be allowed 9 feet in the front yard adjacent to North Winter Park Drive and will be located no closer to Camelot Way than between the door and the window of the house as indicated in the staff report. 4. The fence shall not create a visibility obstruction for traffic. 5. All of the above conditions shall be fully and faithfully executed or the variance shall become null and void. A brief discussion ensued regarding the fence located at the rear of the adjacent property, the location of the proposed fence and similar fences on Winter Park Drive. Mr. Meadows asked the applicant to come forward. Mrs. Hirmina Fernandez, 1006 Camelot Way, Casselberry, Florida came forward. Mrs. Fernandez said she requested the fence due to her husband's health issues. She said her husband likes to spend time outdoors and the school children go on her patio and make fun of her husband. She said they are also destroying her plants. In response to the Commission's question regarding reducing the variance request to 9 feet, Ms. Fernandez said she wanted the full variance due to the children taking the fruit from the trees and destroying her plants. Mrs. Fernandez said that she has lived in her home for 35 years and never asked for anything. She said that her neighbors that live across the street from her home have only lived there a few years and they have a fence. A brief discussion ensued regarding the distance from the small temporary fence in her yard to the house. Mr. Meadows asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the request. Mr. Maurice Jenkins, 1030 Camelot Way, Casselberry, Florida came forward. Mr. Jenkins said his home is adjacent to Ms. Fernandez's home. He said he didn't have an objection to the fence located along Winter Park Drive. A brief discussion ensued regarding the proposed fenced area. Mr. Meadows asked for final comments from the applicant and staff. There were no final comments. A discussion ensued regarding the location of the existing temporary fence on the property, possible options for the proposed fence and the criteria required for granting a variance. The Board considered continuing this item to the October meeting to allow staff to provide additional measurements.
