Diana, Assistant City Clerk The meeting was called to order by the Chairman at 1:00 p.m. in the Commission Chambers of City Hall. He outlined the procedures and advised that anyone adversely affected by any decision of the Development Code Adjustment Board may appeal the decision to an Appeal Hearing Officer within two weeks. He noted Florida law requires any applicant appealing a decision of this Board to have a record of the proceedings to support the appeal. In order to provide continuity, the items will be listed in agenda order although not necessarily discussed in that order. I. Public Hearings Item A - (continued from 9/10/92) Valentino Koumoulidis to reconsider previous request for variances of (1) 83 ft to permit a 67ft w ide lot i (2) 3 park i ng spaces to permit 6 spaces i (3) 24.85% front yard open space to allow 25.15%; (4) 3.5 ft to permit 1.5 ft of perimeter landscape buffering; and (5) 12.8 ft to permit zero ft of clear space at 606 Bayway Blvd, Bayside Sub No 5, Blk A, Lot 7, zoned CR 28 (resort commercial). V 91-25 This item was continued from the september 10, 1992 meeting due to a tie vote. The request.' is for reconsideration of five variances to permit the conversion of a six-unit apartment building to, under the initial request, a first floor restaurant and a two-unit apartment building on the second floor. Planning Manager Shuford explained the application in detail stating the applicant has revised the request and wishes to convert an existing six-unit apartment building into one living unit on the second floor and approximately 1,617 square feet of retail space on the first floor. DCAB 1 10/08/92 David Himes, representing the applicant, stated variance #2 had been withdrawn at the September 10 meeting. He gave a brief history of the application, stating after the original variances were granted, changes were made which delayed the proposal. During a request for time extension, concerns were expressed regarding these changes. In response to questions, Mr. Himes stated the parking variance is no longer needed and there will be only one apartment on the second floor. Discussion ensued regarding the city Traffic Engineering Department comment that elimination of any required parking increases the traff ic congestion on Clearwater Beach. This was not considered to be a problem due to the proposed use. Discussion ensued with regard to the applicant also owning the restaurant next door to the subject property. Concern was expressed the two properties would be used as one common area with customers driving from one to the other. Based upon the information furnished by the applicant, Mr. Homer moved to grant variances #1, #3, #4 and #5 because the applicant has substantially met all of the standards for approval as listed in section 137.012(d) of the Land Development Code subject to the following conditions: 1) The variance is based on the application for a variance and documents submitted by the applicant, including maps, site plan dated August 11, 1992, surveys and other documents submitted in support of the applicant's request for a variance. Deviation from any of the above documents submitted in support of the request for a variance regarding the work to be done with regard to the site or any physical structure located on the site, will result in this variance being null and of no effectj 2) There shall be only two uses provided on this site, one dwelling unit which shall comprise the entire second floor and a retail store containing 1616.79 sq. ft. which shall comprise the first floorj 3) The clear space that is provided shall be "obstructed" by only parking and sidewalk access on the east side and only parking on the west side; no other structures shall be erected in these areas; 4) Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall sub- mit a landscaping plan to the Environmental Management Group to insure that selected landscaping materials be as dense as possible to maximize front yard landscaping; 5) The requisite building permit shall be obtained within 6 months from the date of this public hearing and 6) That concrete car stops shall be installed in all parking spaces. The motion was duly seconded and upon the vote being taken, Messrs. Homer, Plisko, Gans and Johnson voted "ayel'; Ms. Whitney voted "nay". Motion carried. ReqUest granted. DCAB 2 10/08/92 variance #2 was withdrawn. Item B - (continued trom 9/24/92) Louis J and Mary R D'Amico for variances of (1) 90 ft to permit minimum lot width of GO ft; (2) 3.30 ft to permit a second story building addition 8.70 ft from side property line; and (3) 5 ft to permit an inground pool 5 ft from side property line at 410 Hamden Dr, Columbia Sub No 4, Lot 10, Zoned CR 28 (resort commercial). V 92-49 Planning Manager Shuford stated this application was continued from the meeting of September 10, 1992, at the request of the applicant. He explained the application in detail stating the applicant wishes to construct a swimming pool and a second story addition to an existing duplex on a substandard lot. Discussion ensued regarding courtesy review approval by the Development Review committee (DRC) and it was felt these reviews should be done by the Zoning Section and the Building Division of the Planning and Development Department. Gregory Fox, representing the applicant, stated the owner wishes to increase the size of his apartment and add a pool in the courtyard of the GO-foot-wide lot. He stated there is no intent to increase the number of units from the four that currently exist. Mr. Fox indicated the addition will be placed directly over the first floor and will have an inside staircase. He said the applicant agrees with staff's conditions. ~_, In response to questions, Mr. Fox stated the proposed addition will add 1,000 square feet of space to the existing 500-square-foot apartment and the building has seven parking spaces with one space being used for a dumpster location. Discussion ensued regarding the proposal. It was questioned whether or not the addition exceeds the FEMA 50 percent rule. Mr. Fox indicated the construction costs have not been calculated; however, the size of the addition could be scaled down if neces- sary. A suggestion was made to change the proposed dumpster location and provide an enclosure for aesthetics. One letter was submitted in support of the application. Concern was expressed enlarging owners' units is becoming a trend, creating the possibility the additions could be converted to rental units in the future. It was felt the presence of the owner on the premises is desirable and a swimming pool is essential to the operation of a motel. "'--~ DCAB 3 10/08/92 """- .~. Based upon the information furnished by the applicant, Mr. Gans moved to gran~ the variances as requested because the applicant has substantially met all of the standards for approval as listed in section 137.012(d) of the Land Development Code more specifically because, the variances arise from a condition which is unique to the property and not caused by the owner or applicant; the particular physical surroundings and shape of the property involved and the strict application of the provisions of this development code would result in an unnecessary hardship upon the applicant and the variances are the minimum necessary to overcome the hardship created by the lot size subject to the conditions: 1) The variance is based on the application for a variance and documents submitted by the applicant, including maps, plans, surveys and other docu- ments submitted in support of the applicant's request for a vari- ance. Deviation from any of the above documents submitted in support of the request for a variance regarding the work to be done with regard to the site or any physical structure located on the site, will result in this variance being null and of no effect; 2) This site is limited to four motel-apartment units. There shall be no additional motel or apartment units constructed; 3) Plant material shall meet the minimum requirements of Sec. 136.023 of the Land Development Code; 4) To ensure the second floor is not converted into additional units the applicant shall apply to the Zoning section and Building Division of the Planning & Development Department for courtesy review approval prior to the formal application for a building permit; 5) Access to the second floor shall be exclusively through an interior staircase from the owner's lower unit. No exterior access to the second floor shall be permi tted. Building plans showing the access shall be ,required for courtesy review by the Zoning section and Building Division of the Planning & Development Department; 6) The applicant shall reconfig- ure the plan to include a dumpster enclosure; 7) The variance will be void if the subject apartment is ever subdivided; B) The addi- tion shall conform to all FEMA rules and regulations; and 9) A building permit shall be obtained within 6 months from the date of this public hearing. The motion was duly seconded and upon the vote being taken, Ms. Whitney, Messrs. Pliska, Gans and Johnson voted "aye"; Mr. Homer was not present at this time. Motion carried. Request granted. 1. Robert L and Janet M Schueszler for variances of (1) 6.5 ft to permit a lot width of 63.5 it where 70 ft is required; and (2) 15 ft to allow a garage addition 10 ft from street right-of-way where 25 ft is required at 1440 Rogers St, Breeze Hill, Blk A, Lot 11, zoned RS 8 (Single Family Residential). V 92-52 Planning Manager Shuford explained the application in detail stating the applicant wishes to construct an attached garage. The applicant is proposing to remove an existing metal shed located in DCAB 4 10/08/92 the northeast corner of the rear yard. The property was platted in ,t::." 1925 and qualifies as a legitimate nonconforming lot. Art Shand, representing the applicant, said there has been no opposition from the neighbors, the owner is preparing for retire- ment and would like to use part of the proposed garage for a workshop. Concern was expressed regarding a 42-foot deep garage as 24 feet was considered to be standard. Questions were raised regarding the proposed use of the existing garage. Mr. Shand thought it would be used as auxiliary space, possibly a family or living room. Concern was expressed there was no hardship shown. ....-..~. . f.Ir. Homer moved to cont.inue this case to the meeting of Octo- ber 22, 1992. The mot.ion was duly seconded and carried unani- mously. 2. William A Day, Trustee (East Shore Motel/Apts) for variances of (1) 6.5 ft to permit a building 3.5 ft from street right-of-way where 10 ft is required; (2) 21.5 ft to permit stairs 2.5 ft and a building and a second floor addition 6 ft from side (south) property line where 24 ft is required; and (3) 15.6 ft to permit a building addition 9.4 ft from Clearwater Harbor at 473 E Shore Dr, Clwr Beach Park First Add, Blk C, Lots 6 and 7, zoned CB (Beach commercial). V 92-53 Mr. Pliska declared a conflict of interest with regard to this case. Planning Manager Shuford explained the application in detail stating the applicant wishes to construct a one-story utility building and a second floor addition to an existing building on a non-conforming property. The utility building will have a handicapped restroom, laundry facility and will house the mainte- nance and pool equipment. It was recommended to enclose or screen an existing dumpster located in front of the property. William Day, owner and applicant, stated the subject property is his retirement home. He said the roof structure of the existing building has termite damage and will be replaced with the second floor addition and a new roof added to match those in the area. He feels the proposed improvements will make the area more attractive. Mr. Day indicated the facility has no other storage, the utility building will not impact the waterf~ont view and the application has been approved by the flood board. DCAB 5 10/08/92 In response to questions, Mr. Day stated an existing kitchen area ~~~ downstairs is very small. He said the submitted drawing does not accurately depict the parking layout and at least 11 parking spaces will be provided. -....""... Discussion ensued regarding parking requirements and dumpster location. Mr. Day indicated he is working with the city Sanitation Department and may provide landscaping in lieu of a dumpster enclosure he is proposing to relandscape the grounds. It was noted the submitted plans have the adjacent neighbors' approval. Discussion ensued regarding the style and materials for the proposed additions. It was felt they should have a similar appearance to others in the area. Mr. Day indicated he wishes to use glass to create an open effect. Based upon the information furnished by the applicant, Mr. Gans moved to grant the variances as requested because the applicant has substantially met all of the standards for approval as listed in section 137.012(d) of the Land Development Code more specifically because, the variances arise from a condition which is unique to the property and not caused by the owner or applicant and the variances are the minimum necessary to overcome the hardship created by the lot size and the needed improvements such as screening the pool, subject to the conditions: 1) The variance is based on the application for a variance and documents submitted by the applicant, including maps, plans, surveys and other documents submitted in support of the applicant's request for a variance. Deviation from any of the above documents submitted in support of the request for a variance regarding the work to be done with regard to the site or any physical structure located on the site, will result in thHi vari,ance being null and of no effect; 2) The applicant shall reconfigure the plan to include a dumpster enclosure; 3) The requisite building permit shall be obtained within six months from the date of this public hearing; and (4) The exterior of the utility buildinq shall conform to the architectural theme of the motel. The motion was duly seconded and upon the vote being taken, Ms. whitney, Messrs. Homer, Gans and Johnson voted "aye"; Mr. Pliska abstained. Motion carried. Rec:ruest granted. 3. Ann K Burchenal for a variance to permit construction of a deck and walkover seaward of the coastal construc- tion control line (CCCL) at 1058 Eldorado Ave, Mandalay Sub, Blk 70, Lot 4 and part of Lot 3, zoned RS 8 (Single Family Residential) and OS/R (Open Space/Recreation). V 92-54 Planning Manager Shuford explained the application in detail stating the applicant wishes to construct a walk-over deck seaward of the CCCL. He stated the applicant previously obtained a permit DCAB 6 10/08/92 i/fJ.\" , .1 ~\ ,,^, from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for a walk-over structure; however, the permit expired in June, 1992. Harry Cline, attorney representing the applicant, stated beach accretion over the last 30 years has created a significant dune system on the subject property which creates a hardship for the applicant. He indicated construction of the original walk-over was complicated by the turtle nesting season and the permit expired. He requested standard condition #1 be modified to allow for the possibility of the DNR dictating relocation of the proposed walk- over. In response to questions, Mr. Cline indicated structures of this type are becoming common in other parts of the state and he hopes the city may consider administrative approval in the future. He said the proposed location can be moved back slightly, if neces- sary. He was not sure if Flood Board approval would be necessary. Discussion ensued regarding the location of the proposed structure and the property boundaries. It was indicated the seawall essentially marks the rear property line. Discussion ensued in regard to riparian rights. Mr. Cline indicated there are no title rights to accreted land; they accrete naturally to the owner. Discussion ensued in regard to locating structures seaward of the seawall and not the CCCL so to avoid setting a precedent. Based upon the information furnished by the applicant, Mr. Gans moved to grant a variance to permit the construction of a structure seaward of the retaining wall/seawall because the applicant has substantially met all of the standards for approval as listed in section 137.012(d) of the Land Development Code more specifically because, the variance arises from a condition which is unique to the property and not caused by the owner or applicant; the particular topographical conditions of the property and preserva- tion of the environment makes the variance a necessity and the variance is the minimum necessary to overcome the hardship subject to the following conditions: 1) The variance is based on the application for a variance and documents submitted by the appli- cant, including maps, plans, surveys and other documents submitted in support of the applicant's request for a variance. Deviation, except those required by the Department of Natural Resources, from any of the above documents submitted in support of the request for a variance regarding the work to be done with regard to the site or any physical structure located on the site, will result in this variance being null and of no effect; 2) The requisite building permit shall be obtained within 6 months from the date of this public hearing; 3) The applicant shall obtain all the necessary DCAB 7 10/08/92 ~., permits from other applicable state and city review agencies and f H c, boards prior to the construction of the structure and 4) the structure shall not exceed 4 feet 3 inches in width. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Request qranted. 4. Adriano Battaglini (Andy's Sports Car Center) for a variance to permit concrete washout parking lot surface rather than a graded paving surface for parking lot at 500 N Ft Harrison Ave, O. Harrington'S Sub, Lots 1 and 2, zoned CG (General Commercial) and RM 28 (Multiple Family Residential). V 92-55 Planning Manager Shuford explained the application in detail stating the applicant wishes his parking lot surface to remain as it currently exists, as Uconcrete wash", or scrap from a concrete load. Meeting conditional use conditions for approval was determined to be necessary in order for the establishment to be in harmony with surrounding properties and to avoid creating a nuisance situation for the city in general. The city Transportation and Engineering Divisions recommend a parking lot for this type of usage be paved in accordance with City standards. Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) standards for run-off water quality must be met due to the nature of the business and the proximity to the Gulf of Mexico. Grace Mandicott, representing the applicant, stated much time, money and effort have been devoted to aesthetically improving the lot and bringing it into conformance with the Code. She indicated there have been many problems associated with trying to start the business and sufficient resources have not been available to pave the lot. While the applicants were commended for their efforts to improve the property, concern was expressed sufficient hardship has not been demonstrated to justify granting the variance. Discussion ensued with regard to the application. It was ques- tioned whether or not payment in lieu of on-site water retention would be acceptable and if paving only the driveways would satisfy the requirement. Planning Manager Shuford related information from the various boards and agencies involved, indicating paving the entire lot is recommended. A citizen spoke in opposition to the application indicating the subject property is in violation of a number of code requirements and is being used to store inoperable vehicles with derelicts sleeping in them. She feels the subject property is an eyesore. \ ............,; DCAB 8 10/08/92 ,fp". ~ ....--. , \....,../ Discussion ensued regarding the subject property. It was indicated one of the requirements for approval at a 1990 Planning and Zoning Board hearing for the property was that paving the lot or obtaining a variance was necessary. Based upon the information furnished by the applicant, Mr. Gans moved to deny the variance as requested because the applicant has not demonstrated he has met all of the standards for approval as listed in section 137.012(d) of the Land Development Code because there is no condition which is unique to the property; no unneces- sary hardship was shown; the variance is not the minimum; the request for the variance is based primarily upon the desire of the applicant to prevent a greater financial investment in the property; the granting of the variance would be materially detrimental or injurious to other property in the neighborhood and violate the general spirit and intent of this development code as expressed in sections 131.005 and 131.006. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Request denied. II. Approval of Minutes of September 10 and september 24, 1992 Mr. Homer moved to approve the minutes of September 10 and September 24, 1992, in accordance with copies submitted to each board member in writing. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. III. Board and staff Discussion Mr. Shuford invited the Board to attend an appointed official conference to be held at the st. Petersburg Airport on October 23, 1992. He stated the program includes a review of legal proce- dures, presentations regarding environmental and land management, the state comprehensive planning act and zoning and site plan review ground rules. He stated the deadline for registration is October 15, 1992 and asked members to inform him of their interest as soon as possible. Discussion ensued regarding the nighttime installation of telephone booths in residential neighborhoods. It was noted these are not GTE installations. It was felt this could be a scam to overcharge callers and staff was requested to investigate. Concern was expressed regarding an inappropriate towel display at the Surfin' USA retail store on Mandalay Avenue. Mr. Shuford stated the display of products in store windows is not regulated. Staff will investigate. A quest~on was raised regarding the display of cards, gifts and shirts ~n a street right-of-way on Clearwater Beach. It was indicated this is not allowed by Code. DCAB 9 10/08/92 (.", ( " -..../ \........' Concern was expressed regarding the patio at Fritz's Market having tables and chairs and being covered by a canopy. Staff will' investigate whether or not approval has b~en obtained for the outdoor seating. IV.
