There was no ex -parte communication to be disclosed by members of City Council, and the City Clerk swore in those who intend to provide testimony including City staff. 2 of 20 Board of Adjustment Meeting May 28, 2014 Page Two Dan Fast, representing the property owner, said this condition has been there for thirty years, there is a problem obtaining financing because of the encroachment, the property was owned by a previous Council Member, and they are requesting a variance on the existing encroachment. The Community Development Director gave the staff report for a variance on the property at 402 Ash Street which sits on the corner of Hibiscus, for an existing encroachment from the 10 foot Code requirement to 5.6 feet, said this property was over 40 years old, staff had reviewed the files, notices were sent, the variance is acceptable to staff, and recommended approval. Mayor McPartlan requested clarification that all proper notices were mailed, and the Community Development Director confirmed they were. Ms. Coy asked if there were any easement issues, and the Community Development Director confirmed there are no encroachments into the easement. Ms. Coy noted that approximately four years ago the State made it incumbent on realtors that they start checking these things, stating she had no problem with this variance whatsoever because it can't be fixed without destroying part of the property. Mayor McPartlan opened the floor for anyone in favor of the request and there was none. Mayor McPartlan opened the floor for anyone opposed to the request and there was none.

Requested Action: Variance requested from Section 54- 2- 5.11(c) of the Sebastian Land Development Code to allow a Residential Planned Unit Development (PUD -R) to be 12.77 acres, whereas the code requires a PUD -R to be a minimum of 25 acres. 3.

Project Surveyor: Meridian Land Surveyors 1717 Indian River Boulevard, Suite 201 Vero Beach, FL 32960 772- 794 -1213 8. Project Description: a. Narrative of proposed action: Chuck Mechling, agent for SandCrest LLC, wishes to rezone the subject property as a Planned Unit Development - 5 of 20 b. C. 51 Residential (PUD -R) for development purposes. However, the Sebastian Land Development Code requires a PUD -R to be a minimum of 25 acres. The applicant is seeking a variance to allow a PUD -R to be 12.77 acres on the subject property. Current Zoning: RM -8 (Medium Density Multiple Family Residential) Adjacent Properties: Site Characteristics (1) Total Acreage: 12.77 acres (2) Current Land Use(s): vacant (3) Water Service: public water (4) Sanitary Sewer Service: public sewer 9. Staff Comments: The subject property is currently zoned Medium Density Multiple - Family Residential (RM -8) which allows up to 8 units per acre. In 2005 a site plan and preliminary plat was approved by the City for a 95 -unit 2 -story townhouse development. After a number of extensions were approved, no construction occurred and the project permits expired. At this time, SandCrest LLC wishes to construct a single - family subdivision on the property. The conceptual plan presented includes a reduction of dwelling units from 95 townhomes to 71 single - family dwellings. To implement this, or a similar design, the applicant will be requesting a zoning change to a Planned Unit Development — Residential (PUD -R). The PUD -R District establishes regulations governing development and can only be granted for areas designated for residential development on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. It includes a voluntary management framework for negotiating innovative development concepts. Although minimum standards are established by code, issues such as lot size, lot width, lot depth, setbacks, and living area can be negotiated. 2 6 of 20 Zoning Current Land Use Future Land Use North: C preserve C East: PS CG RM -8 Post Office Vacant A artments INS CG MDR South: RS -10 Residential LDR West: RS -10 Residential LDR Site Characteristics (1) Total Acreage: 12.77 acres (2) Current Land Use(s): vacant (3) Water Service: public water (4) Sanitary Sewer Service: public sewer 9.

It includes a voluntary management framework for negotiating innovative development concepts. Although minimum standards are established by code, issues such as lot size, lot width, lot depth, setbacks, and living area can be negotiated. 2 6 of 20 The subject property includes 12.77 acres. This can be considered an "in -fill" project, because the contiguous land is already developed. Since the minimum size for a PUD -R is 25 acres, a variance will be needed before the project can move forward with the rezoning and conceptual plan. Staff advised the applicant to apply for this single variance before incurring the expense of fully engineered development plans. If approved, he will submit a detailed PUD zoning and conceptual development plan, at which time additional variances may be requested. Staff has analyzed the variance request based on the city codes. The attached Board Criteria for Determining Variances outlines the staff findings. 10. Board Criteria for Determining Variances: See attached analysis. 11. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the requested variance to allow the size of a PUD -R to be reduced from 25 acres to 12.77 acres on the subject property. 12. Board Action: Conduct quasi-judicial hearing to consider the requested variance. PrJpded by 91- `f - IL� Date 3 7 of 20 BOARD CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING VARIANCES Section 54 -1 -2.5 In order to authorize any variance from the terms of the land development regulations, the Board of Adjustment must use the following criteria for approving or denying a variance: a. Existence of special conditions or circumstances. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same zoning district. Meets Standard Yes 91 No 0 Residential properties contiguous to the subject site are already developed. This smaller area can be considered an "in -fill" project. b. Conditions not created by applicant. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. Meets Standard Yes � No ❑ The current owner wishes to develop the last remaining residential property in the immediate area. C. Special privileges not conferred. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this ordinance to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district. Meets Standard Yes No 0 The property has a land use designation of residential which allows for a PUD -R District rezoning. However, it is restricted by its size. d. Hardship conditions exist. That literal interpretation of the provisions of the ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the ordinance and would create unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant. Meets Standard Yes No ❑ 4 8 of 20 The size limitation for a PUD -R will restrict the residential development of this property to standard zoning requirements which provide no flexibility in the design. Since the applicant is proposing a single - family development, as opposed to the prior townhouse plan, design flexibility can only be accomplished as a PUD -R. e. Only the minimum variance granted. That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building, or structure. Meets Standard Yes 21- No 0 The requested variance is to allow a PUD -R to be 12.77 acres for this specific property. L Not injurious to public welfare or intent of ordinance. That the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the comprehensive plan and this code, and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. Meets Standard Yes No ❑ The proposed PUD -R will actually reduce the number of dwelling units on the site from the prior approved townhouse development. 9. Conditions and safeguards may be imposed. In granting any variance, the board of adjustment may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards in conformity with chapter 163 F.S., the comprehensive plan, and any ordinance enacted under its authority. Violation of such conditions and safeguards, when made a part of the terms under which the variance is granted, shall be deemed a violation of the ordinance. Meets Standard Yes Ci,- No 0 No conditions are proposed by staff. h. Time limit may be imposed. The board of adjustment may prescribe a reasonable time limit during which the applicant shall commence and /or complete the subject actions and conditions approved by the board. Meets Standard G Yes No ❑ 9 of 20 No time limit is proposed. i. No use variance permitted in specified instances. Under no circumstances shall the board of adjustment grant a variance to permit a use not generally permitted in the zoning district involved or any use expressly or by implication prohibited by the terms of the ordinance in the zoning district. No nonconforming use of neighboring lands, structures, or buildings in the same zoning district and no permitted use of lands, structures, or buildings in other zoning districts shall be considered grounds for the authorization of a variance. Meets Standard Yes Eii No ❑ The request is not a use - related variance. 6 10 of 20 Indian River County, Florida Property Appraiser - Printer Friendly Map Print I Back Indian River County GIS ww"Wj- Page 1 of 1 �p MiAsN ParcelID OwnerNarne PropertyAddress 30383000003000000000,4 SANDCREST LLC MAIN ST SEBASTIAN, FL 32958 31380100000700000001.0 SANDCREST LLC BOB CIR SEBASTIAN, FL 32958 Notes 11 of 20 http : / /www.ircpa.org/PrintMap.aspx 9/4/2014 Permit Application No. am SOM5V City of Sebastian ,WFOF PELCM Development Order Application Applicant If not owner, written authorization notarized from owner is required) Name: SandCrest, LLC Address: 5070 N Hwy A1A, Suite C -1, Vero Beach, FL 32963 Phone Number: ( 772 ) 999 - 3494 FAX Number: E -Mail: admin @sandcrestfl.com Owner if different from applicant) Name: Address: Phone Number: ( ) - FAX Number: E -Mail: ITitle of permit or action requested: Variance PLEASE COMPLETE ONLY THOSE SECTIONS WHICH ARE NECESSARY FOR THE PERMIT OR ACTION THAT YOU ARE REQUESTING.

The current code for the City of Sebastian does not allow for a PD on less than 25 acres. This variance is being requested for the following reasons: 1. We believe that a single - family, single -story community geographically fits this tract of land, and the surrounding neighborhood, as a more compatible design (see attached proposed site plan for SandCrest). 2. Our community design concept features 71 single - family units compared to the 95 townhome units that had previously been approved for this tract of land (see attached approved site plan for the Gables). 3. The ability to offer a single- family product that is designed to meet a style that is compatible with the vision for the Sebastian market (see attached proposed single- family home elevation).
