FROM THE REAR PROPERTY LINE AND TO ENCROACH INTO A

SUCH ENCLOSURE TO MAINTAIN A MINIMUM DISTANCE OF 10 FEET FROM
THE PROPERTY LINE AND NOT BE LOCATED IN A DEDICATED EASEMENT
(Staff Report, Application)

Chairman Hill opened the quasi-judicial hearing and the City Attorney read the
applicant's request. There was no ex -parte communication to be disclosed and
the City Clerk swore in all who would provide testimony.
The applicant was not present.
The Community Development Manager presented that staff had been working
with the pool contractor as the representative of the homeowner; the form board
survey indicated that the enclosure was going to encroach into the 10 ft. setback
and the private subdivision stormwater easement. She explained that usually a
contractor error is not necessarily applicable criteria for a variance but the unusual
curvature of the property line lend to the foam boards being at 10 ft. Staff
received letters of support from the Mosquito Control District, SJRWMD and the
HOA.
Staff is recommending approval with the following conditions requested by the
homeowner's association (HOA):
1) The lake slope will remain consistent with the original plan.
2) The HOA attorney prepare a release of liability and have it
recorded before construction began. (At the time of the meeting,
the homeowner was not aware of this condition.)
The Community Development Manager noted staff has been working with the
contractor, it is a private subdivision, there wasn't a house behind the applicant,
and she did receive the letters of support to allow the pool deck to encroach into
the private easement.
She also explained that variances are looked at by a case-by-case application
with nine or ten criteria to be considered by the Board. Staff determined that the
issue was caused by someone else and it would be up to the Board if they agreed
with staff. With the last variance granted the request was looked at more as a
variance from the City's code and if there was still an issue with the HOA it would
be more of a civil matter.
There was no one to speak in favor of the variance.
The following individuals were opposed to the variance:
Wendy Kirby Barnes, homeowner at Cross Creek Lake Estates, said as a
homeowner and HOA board member, the requested variance is not in the best
interest of the community. Before the meeting she was telephoned by the HOA
president indicating the homeowner would be signing a release from liability letter
should the pool fail and cause damage to the lake embankment but no one had
received the release by the time of the meeting.
Tim Barnes, homeowner, said the community is not complete and is still being
controlled by the developer, Mr. Fischer. The release letter stated the board was
in favor of the variance but that was not accurate, it was never sent out to the
board. He has surveyed 26 homeowners --twenty-four homeowners opposed the
variance, one resident approved the variance and one had no opinion.

Mr. Barnes said this is a contractor error which should be insured for this mistake
to leave the homeowner whole. He requested the Board deny the variance.
John Garrison, 307 Yearling Trail, said he agreed with Mr. Barnes' comments.
Patricia Marion, 719 Yearling Trail, said if the HOA would endure any liability for
any failure of the pool or damage to the lake then she is against the approval.
She urged the Board to receive the release letter before granting the variance.
Connie Deltedesco, 105 Rawlings Path, said she disapproved of this. She was a
contractor for 30 years and if a contractor makes a mistake, he should be liable.
Paul Abati, 317 Yearling Trail, said the contractor made an expensive mistake,
let him make the repair.
Patricia Singewald said the HOA was never notified of the release letter and was
not in favor of the variance.
Leslie Knight, 107 Yearling Trail, said the homeowners were never notified and
was also against the variance.
Judy Amison, 923 Yearling Trail, she said was against this variance.
The Community Development Manager noted for the record, that staff did send
out the required notices for the variance request. Staff is recommending
approval with two conditions: that the profile of the lake slope remains consistent
with the original approved plans and a complete release of liability prepared by
the HOA Attorney, Warren Dill, be executed and recorded before work continues
on the pool.
Chairman Hill asked what would be the damage to the City, the damage to the
property owner and would the 2.7 ft. encroachment into the stormwater
easement and change the slope.
The Community Development Manager said she did not know if it would damage
the slope and the contractor and homeowner had not been approached to sign
the release and may not want to take on the liability if something happened to
their pool.
Chairman Hill asked if the release would carry with the property. The City
Attorney advised that the HOA attorney would include language and have it
recorded to run with the land; the release was a private dispute.
Mr. Dodd asked how the City could be involved in this. The City Attorney stated
that the homeowner should have gone to HOA for approval then come to the
Board. Mr. Dodd said the City has a normal process to grant a variance but the
HOA process is separate and he would prefer to table this.
Chairman Hill stated the City has received HOA approval letter and suggested as a
stipulation for the Board's approval to include the letter.

Mr. Dodd said he was not in favor of stepping between the HOA management and
a HOA participant by including a stipulation to enforce a HOA requirement that
they couldn't enforce themselves because their letter doesn't ask for that.
The City Attorney advised procedurally this quasi-judicial hearing that should be
based on the evidence heard which did not include any from the homeowner or
contractor. He suggested if the Board would like to continue to a future date, the
homeowner or contractor should be there to provide sworn testimony of what
happened. The City Attorney noted the contractor was present.
MOTION by Mr. Dodd and SECOND by Chairman Hill to continue the quasi-judicial
hearing until October 10th so the HOA can work with the owner on the liability
release which is not the City's issue.
Mr. McPartlan stated it would be good to hear from the applicant and agreed with
continuing the hearing.

PORTION OF. THE REAR AND SIDES OF HIS PROPERTY, WHEREAS THE
CODE WOULD PERMIT SUCH FENCE TO BE A MAXIMUM SIX (6) FEET IN
HEIGHT. (Staff Report, Application)
Chairman Hill opened the quasi-judicial hearing; the City Attorney read the request;
there was no ex -parte communication to disclose by the Board Members and the
City Clerk swore in all those who would provide testimony.
Paul Reeves, applicant, said his fence would not be 8 ft. high all the way around the
house; he was looking for privacy; and he requested approval.
The Community Development Manager said after they visited the site, they
recommended 8 ft. on the side and maximum 7 ft. in the rear.
There was no one that spoke in favor or against the variance request.
MOTION by Mr. McPartlan and SECOND by Mr. lovino to approve Mr. Reeves'
variance request.
