Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency Minutes November 14, 2018 Page 2 Fifth Item of Business: BA 18.06: 360 Jasmine Road. A variance request of Article VII, Section 2.7.10(C)(1), of the ULDR to allow a fence within the front yard to exceed the maximum height of three (3) feet for the property located at 360 Jasmine Road. Parcel ID: 16-21-30-5BS-0000.2110. Ms. Christina Hyson, Planner I, reviewed the information provided in her memorandum dated November 14, 2018 to the City of Casselberry Planning and Zoning Commission. Ms. Hyson reviewed the criteria required to grant a variance. Ms. Hyson said the variance application meets all six (6) of the criteria for granting the variance; therefore, staff supports the variance request. She said if the Planning and Zoning Commission chooses to grant the front yard fence height and design variance, BA 18-06, for the property located at 360 Jasmine Road, the motion should be based upon the Planning and Zoning Commission's findings of fact and conclusions, the staff report dated November 14, 2018, and the conditions outlined in the staff report.
