Title

Variance for Cynthia L. Diven and Joanne Rice (B)

Petition DB-18-006 VAR:   Cynthia Diven and Joanne Rice, owners. Requesting a variance to reduce the south front yard setback from 20 feet to 3 feet to allow construction of a shelter for a recreational vehicle. Zoned: RSF-1 (3.5 units/acre single-family residential district.) Located at 2942 NW 4^th Lane.

Explanation

The applicant purchased the property in 2003 and soon after acquired a recreational vehicle which has been parked in the front yard within the allowable standards for such vehicles.  Due to the proximity of the creek, surround tree canopy and the Florida weather the applicant wishes to construct a shelter to cover and protect the recreational vehicle.  Due to existing site improvements and design of the primary single-family structure, the vehicle cannot be placed along the sides or to the rear of the property. 

The applicant is requesting a variance to construct the shelter.

Fiscal Note

None.

Recommendation

Review Petition DB-18-06 VAR, for compliance with the criteria for granting a variance.
