Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency June 10, 2015 Page 5 A brief discussion ensued regarding clarification to criteria number 6 and the circumstances for granting previous fence variances in the past. 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. A brief discussion ensued regarding a previous fence variance that was granted for a home on the corner of Winter Park Drive and Park Drive. Mr. Henson asked the applicant to come forward. Mr. Ismael Aviles, 480 Kentia Road, Casselberry, Florida came forward. In response to the Commission's question, Mr. Aviles said he was cited by the Code Compliance Officer for the parking of his boat. Mr. Aviles reviewed fence location options to access his backyard but none of the options would work without obtaining a variance. He said he has parked his boat between the two houses for four years. A brief discussion ensued regarding the parking and screening of recreational vehicles. 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. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding meeting the six criteria necessary to grant a variance and a possible placement for the fence to run from the corner of the house running parallel with the sidewalk and not parallel with the house. Ms. Regan stated that the City Code states that the fence needs to run parallel with the house. Mr. Henson asked for a motion to address BA 15 -02.
