Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency June 10, 2015 Page 4 Mr. Henson asked if the Commission had any Ex Parte Communications for this item. No disclosure of Ex Parte Communications was made by the Commissioners. Mr. Henson asked the applicant to come forward. Mr. Robin Lopez, 319 Seminola Boulevard, Casselberry, Florida came forward. In response to the Commission's question, Mr. Lopez said he was in agreement with the City Engineer's conditions of approval but questioned the lighting requirement for docks. A brief discussion ensued regarding the regulations for lighting the dock. Mr. Henson 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. Mr. Henson asked for a motion to address CU 15 -06. Mr. Bryan made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve CU 15 -06, to allow a 50' long private residential dock at 319 Seminola Boulevard. He said the approval is based upon the staff report dated June 10, 2015, the site drawing (Exhibit A), the survey (Exhibit B), the City Engineer conditions of approval (Exhibit C), the Planning and Zoning Commission's findings of fact, and the five (5) conditions outlined in the staff report. Mr. Van Meter seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. Seventh Item of Business: BA 15 -02: 480 Kentia Road. Variance request to grant a variance to Article VII, Section 2- 7.10 "Fences and Walls" of the Casselberry Unified Land Development Regulations to allow a 6.0 foot fence to encroach 5.0 feet into a front yard (corner, side yard) as determined by the principal structure on the lot. Ms. Marie Regan, Planner II, reviewed the information provided in her memorandum dated June 10, 2015, and a PowerPoint presentation to the City of Casselberry Planning and Zoning Commission (a copy of the PowerPoint presentation is attached and made a part of the minutes). Ms. Regan said the variance application does not meet all six (6) criteria for granting the variance; therefore, staff does not support the variance request as presented. Ms. Regan said if the Planning and Zoning Commission chooses to grant the variance, the Commission will need to demonstrate how the criteria was met and the five (5) conditions outlined in the staff report would apply to the variance. The following is a list of the conditions of approval: 1. The fence shall encroach no more than five (5) feet into the front -side yard as determined by the principal structure on the lot. 2. The fence shall be located no more than six (6) inches forward of the rear corner of the house along the side corner along Violet Dell Drive. 3. The fence shall not exceed six (6) feet in height and shall not be enlarged in any way. 4. The fence shall be maintained in good repair and the finished side shall face out. 5. All of the above conditions shall be fully and faithfully executed or the variance shall become null and void.
