Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency Minutes January 11, 2023 Page 5 upon the staff report and the testimony and evidence presented, dated January 11, 2023, the site plan (Attachment B), and the following conditions: 1. The variance shall only pertain to the proposed screen enclosure as shown in Attachment B. 2. The screen enclosure shall not exceed the height of the roof line of the principal structure. 3. A building permit shall be obtained prior to construction of the screen enclosure, within one year of approval of the variance. 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, Ms. Hyson explained that she is not aware of what information is provided to future property owners. She stated that the property is considered legally noncompliant and the structures are allowed to remain in its current form. She stated that when additions or improvements are added, it increases the nonconformity and could potentially result in the proposed improvements being denied. The applicant would need to meet the current code standards or it would increase the nonconformity. A brief discussion ensued regarding that the applicant was aware that he purchased a noncompliant property. The setback requirements at the time the structure was built were discussed. Ms. Hyson explained that the 1966 zoning map shows property was zoned R-1AA and the earliest available zoning code from the 1970's shows the required side yard setback was 10 feet. Mr. Hale asked the applicant to come forward. Mr. Robert Phillips, 251 S Triplet Lake Drive, Casselberry, Florida came forward. Mr. Phillips presented a PowerPoint Presentation (a copy of the presentation is attached and made a part of the minutes). Mr. Phillips said the original setbacks were 5 feet when the house was constructed. He said he has a letter from the adjacent neighbor endorsing the proposed project. No letter was provided to staff or the Planning and Zoning Commission. In response to the Commission's question, Mr. Phillips said he would replace the pool decking and relocate and install new pool equipment. In response to the Commission's question, Mr. Phillips stated that the back of the house is being reconfigured and there will be a partial roof added and the remaining would be a screen roof. He said he wants to give the property a more contemporary look. He said the plans include enclosing the carport, adding a garage, constructing a dormer over the front door, and constructing two covered patios.
