RE: 2959 Eagle Estates Circle West, Clearwater, FL 33761
Dear Development Review Committee,
This letter is to address your questions regarding exterior wall material and color of addition. The
exterior wall material will be stucco to match the existing home. We will be replacing the existing roof
and this may facilitate a color change to the exterior of the house, but it will be a solid color with
offsetting trim.
Thank you,
Jeffrey and Ambryn Finstad

Mike -
Sorry for the time delay in providing this response. It is quite busy here.
1. Yes, the Development Order does transfer to the new owner. The Development Order was not restricted to the
Finstads only.
2. The Development Order for Case No. FLS2003-08038 was issued October 29,2003. Pursuant to Section 4-
303, the Development Order included the requirement that the application for a building permit was to be
submitted within one year of Flexible Standard Development approval (which was October 29,2004). In
accordance with Section 4-502.A, the filing of the appeal application stayed the effect of the decision pending the
final determination of the case, but did not extend the date to submit for a building permit. Section 4-303 provides
for a one year time extension to submit for a building permit, but such time extension request must be made
within the original time period of validity. There has been no building permit for the expansion of the dwelling, nor
a request for a time extension, submitted to-date. Therefore, the the Flexible Standard Development approval
under Case No. FLS2003-08038 is now void. Any similar request to reduce the side setback requirement will
require the filing of a new Flexible Standard Development application.

Wayne,
As I suspected, my neighbors (the Finstads) put their home up for sale and never did any construction.
They now have a contract that will be closing shortly. Can you tell me whether the development order
transfers to their buyer? If so, does the development order have a deadline by which construction must
commence? Thanks for your help.

Dear Community Development Board:
~."'
Enclosed is the second notice to respond to the Eagle Estates Homeowners Association
Architectural Review Committee. The first notice to submit a complete copy of building
plans was mailed to Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Finstad, 2959 Eagle Estates Circle West,
Clearwater, Florida 33761 on September, 25, 2003. To this date, we have not received a
response from this homeowner. Please be advised that we take our Deed Restrictions
seriously and review and vote on any and all requests to change. We know the City of
Clearwater Community Development Board tabled the discussion of this issue up to any

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Finstad:
The Eagle Estates Homeowners Association (the "Association") is in receipt of your
request to the City of Clearwater for a variance. The purpose of the variance is to invade
the rear setback of your lot in order to erect an additional bay to your garage, and to add a
second-story to your current home. Please be advised that according to paragraph 11 of
the Association's Deed Restrictions, you are required to submit One (1) complete copy
of your building plans to the Architectural Review Committee prior to commencing
construction. The Deed Restrictions also require an architectural review fee of $100 to

RE: Development Order regarding case FLS2003-08038 at 2959 Eagle Estates Circle West
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Finstad:
This letter constitutes a Development Order pursuant to Section 4-202.E of the Community
Development Code. On September 18, 2003, the Development Review Committee (DRC)
reviewed your application for Flexible Standard Development to reduce the side (east) setback
from 15 feet to 10 feet for a two-story addition to an existing single family dwelling, as a
Residential Infill Project, under the provision of Section 2-103.B. The proposal includes a 1,528
square-foot, two-story addition to an existing single-family residence. The DRC recommended
approval of the application with the following bases and conditions:
Bases for Approval:
1. The proposal complies with the Flexible Standard Development criteria as a Residential Infill
Project per Section 2-103.B.
2. The proposal is in compliance with other standards in the Code, including the General
Applicability Criteria per Section 3-913.
3. The development is compatible with the surrounding area.
Conditions of Approval:
1. That the property survey be updated prior to the submission for building permits to less out
the abutting dedicated rights-of-way;
2. That an oversized roof gutter and drain spout, to direct house and garage roof drainage to
Eagle Estates Circle South (not the rear of the lot), be shown on building plans and be
installed prior to the issuance of a Final Inspection;
..

3. That, to ensure stormwater runoff will not create adverse impacts on the abutting properties,
existing and proposed land elevations be submitted for review as part of the permitting
process for the addition;
4. That, should the existing hedge along the east property line be damaged or destroyed during
construction to the extent of reducing the opacity of the hedge by more than 25 percent, a six-
foot high solid fence be installed and maintained along the east property line for privacy
purposes (maximum of three feet high within the 25-foot front setback area); and
5. That the final design of the building, including window banding, be consistent with the
conceptual elevations submitted and the color of the dwelling be consistent throughout.
I concur with the findings of the Development Review Committee and, through this letter,
approve your application for Flexible Standard Development with above five conditions. The
approval is based on and must adhere to the site plan and application dated received August 19,
2003.
Pursuant to Section 4-303, an application for a building permit shall be made within one year of
Flexible Standard Development approval (October 29, 2004). All required certificates of
occupancy shall be obtained within one year of the date of issuance of the building permit. Time
frames do not change with successive owners.
The issuance of this Development Order does not relieve you of the necessity to obtain any
building permits or pay any impact fees that may be required. In order to facilitate the issuance
of any permit or license affected by this approval, please bring a copy of this letter with you when
applying for any permits or licenses that require this prior development approval.
Pursuant to Section 4-502.A, an appeal may be initiated within seven days of the date the
Development Order is issued by an applicant or property owners within the required notice area
and who presented competent substantial evidence in the Level One review. A copy of the
Development Order is being sent to those surrounding property owners who presented competent
substantial evidence in the Level One review. The filing of an application/notice of appeal shall
stay the effect of the decision pending the final determination of the case. The appeal period for
your case will expire on November 5,2003 (seven days from date of Development Order).

GENERAL INFORMATION:
REQUEST:
Flexible Standard Development approval to reduce the side (east) setback from 15

Residential Infill Project, under the provision of Section 2-103.B.

CHARACTER OF THE
IMMEDIATE VICINITY:
Single-family dwellings dominate the immediate vicinity.
ANALYSIS:
The 0.423-acre site is located on the east side of Eagle Estates Circle West, approximately 400 feet south of Eagle
Estates Circle North. The site is zoned LDR, Low Density Residential District and is located within a single-family
residential subdivision. The site is a comer lot and contains an existing 2,815 square-foot, single-story, single-family
dwelling, including a two-car garage. The site has an existing, two-car wide driveway on Eagle Estates Circle South,
which also provides access to a circular driveway on the south side of the house. The lot is 93.5 feet by 140 feet
(approximately 13,040 square feet), which is nonconforming to current lot width and area standards. When originally
platted, the lot included the private street rights-of-way of Eagle Estates Circle West and Eagle Estates Circle South.
These streets were dedicated to the City of Clearwater a number of years ago as public rights-of-way. The survey
submitted shows the property lines extending to the centerline of the rights-of-way, which should be updated to less
out the rights-of-way. The Community Development Code provides for comer lots to have two front setbacks
(abutting street rights-of-way) and the other "sides" to be side setbacks (no rear setback). This subdivision includes
single and two-story dwellings, all with at least a two-car garage, but many with three-car garages.
The proposal includes constructing a 1,528 square-foot, two-story addition, including a third car garage (with a
driveway extension) in association with the existing single-family dwelling on the east side of the house. The second
floor of the addition is intended for two bedrooms, an exercise area and a media room. The house and driveway are
presently set back 20 feet from the east property line. The applicant proposes the addition at a side setback from the
east property line of 10 feet. The Code requires a minimum 15 feet side setback. The applicant has submitted surveys
from various lots within this subdivision verifying side setbacks between 10 and 15 feet. The applicants' own house is
set back 10.5 feet from the north property line. When determining the community character regarding setbacks,

Cir W 2959 - Finstad (LDR)IEagle 2959 Staff Report. doc- Page 1 of6
,
.
.
Planning staff has relied upon verification of similar setbacks within the neighborhood, and not in a particular
direction.
Two homeowners within this subdivision have submitted letters of objection to the proposal, including the property
owner directly to the east of the subject lot, with the following issues:
1. Conformance with the subdivision deed restrictions - The City does not enforce deed restrictions, which
may be more restrictive than City Codes. The applicant will also need to obtain approval of the proposal
from the homeowner's association.
2. Determination of required setback - As stated above, this is a comer lot, which requires compliance with
front setbacks abutting street rights-of-way and side setbacks on the other "sides" (in this particular case).
The Code does not require a rear setback for a comer lot.
3. Dwelling size and height - So long as the dwelling meets the required setbacks (or obtains variances to
build closer to property lines), building height and the impervious surface ratio, a property owner may
build as large a dwelling as possible. The Code does not set a size restriction. The maximum building
height in the LDR District is 30 feet, measured for a pitched roof to the mid-point of the roof. In this
case, the proposed height is 26 feet.
4. Second floor windows - The property owner to the east is concerned with second floor windows facing
his property and the loss of privacy, wherein he has suggested frosting the windows. Most zoning codes
generally provide for two-story single-family dwellings and do not require fencing for the first floor
(usually a maximum six-foot high fence may be installed by property owners along side and rear property
lines for privacy, security or to protect pools) nor frosting of windows for second floor windows. From a
general and fire safety standpoint, windows should be viewable (allowing views to the outside or from
the outside in, except for any window treatments such as drapes), except for bathroom windows. The
property owner to the east is also concerned that the windows be framed similar to existing windows.
Based on photographs of the existing dwelling and proposed building elevations, proposed windows will
be banded similar to existing windows.
5. Impervious surface ratio (ISR) - Calculation of the ISR, not including the abutting rights-of-way,
indicates an existing ISR of 0.52 and a proposed ISR of 0.56, still below the maximum of 0.60.
6. Drainage - The property owner to the east is concerned with water runoff onto his property due to the
proposal to build within 10 feet of the common property line. Stormwater Engineering has recommended
inclusion of a condition to require an oversized roof gutter and drain spout for the house and garage roof
to direct roof drainage to Eagle Estates Circle South and not the rear of the lot. To ensure stormwater
runoff will not create adverse impacts on the abutting properties, existing and proposed land elevations
should be submitted for review as part of the permitting process.
7. Construction fencing - For safety concerns, the property owner to the east desires a construction fence to
minimize the possibility of an attractive nuisance to his children. The Building Code requires
construction sites to be maintained in a safe condition. If in the determination of the Building Inspector
the site is not safe, the inspector could require safety measures be implemented.
8. Construction cost - Construction costs are a market-based issue. For plan examination and permitting
fees, costs are based on the value of the project.
9. Existing hedge along the east property line - There is an existing hedge of at least six feet in height along
the east property line on the subject parcel. The property owner to the east, as well as the subject
property owner, desire privacy. The property owner to the east also is concerned with car lights shining
into their yard and odors from a trash container (most likely to be stored on the east side of the dwelling,
much as it is today). Section 3-201.D.1 requires trash containers and outdoor mechanical equipment to
be screened, which may accomplished with fencing or hedging. There is no provision under City Code
to require the installation of any hedge or fence for privacy in a single-family subdivision, except
potentially along the outside perimeter of a subdivision. The applicant desires to retain the existing
hedge. From a fencing standpoint, the maximum height of a fence or wall along is six feet. Should the
existing hedge be damaged or destroyed during construction reducing the opacity of the hedge by more
than 25 percent, then a six-foot high solid fence should be installed and maintained along the east
property line for privacy purposes (maximum of three feet high within the 25-foot front setback area).
10. Construction timing - The property owner to the east is concerned with the length of time construction
could take, the hours of the day for construction and whether there would be a port-a-let and a
\IMS5c1PDSIPlanning DepartmentlC D BlStandard FlexlPending Cases\2 - Reviewed and PendingI09-18-03 DRCIEagle Estates

construction dumpster. Generally, for a project as proposed, construction should take no more than six
months. City Code restricts the hours of the day and the days of the week for construction to 7 am to 6
pm, Monday through Saturday. Most likely, a port-a-let will be provided for construction workers and
there will be a construction dumpster.
All applicable Code requirements and criteria including but not limited to General Applicability criteria (Section 3-
913) and Residential Infill Project criteria (Section 2-103.B) have been met.

Subject: 2959 Eagle Estates Circle West
Dear Wayne,
We live at 2970 Eagle Trail in the Eagle Estates subdivision in Clearwater. Recently, we received a notice
informing us that our neighbors at 2959 Eagle Estates Circle West (FLS200308038) had applied for
flexible standard development approvaL requesting a ten foot setback on the east side of their property.
We are very much opposed to this request for many reasons:
(1) We have lived in this subdivision for sixteen years now, and have seen many owners apply for variances.
These were denied time and time again over the years, so that the true integrity of the neighborhood
would always be maintained. In fact, I, Karen Sullivan, was the real estate agent of record when this
property was sold to the developers back in the 1980' s. It is very important for you to know that the
developers spent many long days with their attorneys to develop strict deed restrictions so as to maintain
a consistency in the neighborhood with house sizes, setbacks etc. which would protect all future
homeowners. These restrictions/setbacks are important to all of us. Owners should not be allowed to
deviate from them, as they help maintain the privacy, value and character of this neighborhood. Allowing a
variation from a setback would truly be a mistake and create an eyesore among us. The proposed size and
location of this particular home would be overwhelming for this corner lot.. .too big of a house on too small
of a lot with fewer feet between the homes. It makes no sense whatsoever......The neighbors to the rear of
this property (Markham) would be most adversely affected if you grant this request because the houses
would be much too close and the value of their home would decline greatly.
(2) If you do grant this variance, it wfll open the flood gates for other owners to approach you and ask for
similar variances to side, front or rear setbacks and possibly,even height restrictions. Where would it
stop? The entire beauty and conformity of this well establishe,d neighborhood would be lost. This would be
a tragedy to many of us homeowners who have worked so hard over the years to maintain. Please look at
the history of previous variance requests from Eagle Estate homeowners, and you will clearly see the
word . DENIED" over and over again.
(3) No other corner lots in this subdivision have this large of a house constructed on them and neither
should this one. Another issue to consider is water runoff....the flow of the water would also be adversely
affected. No hardShip will be created if you deny this request for the owners of this lot...simply stated,
they are trying to construct too large of a house on too small of a lot. There is no hardship for them........
Please help maintain the consistency of our neighborhood and deny this request. Granting it, will negatively
affect many of us here. We as homeowners have a large investment in our neighborhood and do not want
anything to become an eyesore or an adversity now. For over twenty years I a presidence has been set in
Eagle Estates that we, as homeowners, need to respect and honor the "ground rules".....please continue
this tradition and keep the same rules for everyone......

Subject: Re: FLS2003-08038 - Flexible Standard Development Approval
Please accept this e-mail as an objection to the above-referenced application. Please contact me immediately at
my office 461-1818 or on my cell phone 480-5118 if my attendance at the September 18 meeting is appropriate or
necessary. These comments are in addition to my e-mail to you dated September 9,2003.
1. After review of every house in the neighborhood, we do not believe the requested approval, if granted, would
be consistent with the homes in Eagle Estates. The applicants wish to increase the square footage of their home
by 1500 square feet (from 3124 to 4624). Such a size increase is inconsistent with the entire neighborhood, the
internal lots and the corner lots. My information is taken from the Property Appraiser's web site. There are 56
homes in Eagles Estates - 32 external lots that border the surrounding golf course; 23 internal lots (like the
subject);and 2972 Eagle Estates Circle East (which is actually 4 lots). The home at 2972 is 7499 square feet and
has been excluded from my analysis as extraordinary. The average size of an external lot is 3515 square feet.
The average size of an internal lot is 3189. The average for all lots is 3378. Only 8 lots in Eagle Estates exceed
4000 square feet; none of which are internal lots. Not surprisingly, 4 of the 8 are located on pie-shaped lots in the
outer corners of the neighborhood (lots 7,19,24 and 33). The largest internal lot home is 3834 square feet.
If approved, the applicant would have the 4th largest home in the neighborhood. The applicant's home would
dwarf the adjacent homes (lots 37, 39 and 40). In short, it will be a monstrosity on a smaller corner lot located
only 10 feet from our rear property line.
2. We understand that the applicant has submitted various surveys to support the request for a 10 foot "side"
setback. While the City might consider it a "side" setback, it's a rear setback to our property. If granted, a two-
story wall will be only 10 feet from our rear property line and directly facing/overlooking our back yard, potential
pool area and screened lanai. There are only 8 lots in Eagle Estates that are similar to ours and the subject (lots
38, 39, 34, 43, 44, 53, 48 and 49). None of those lots has a rear setback of less than 20 feet (consistent with our
deed restrictions). None of those lots has a second story wall only 10 feet from their neighbor's property line. The
most recently constructed home (lot 44) in Eagle Estates has no second story at the back of the home and is set
back 20 feet. Our property and its value will be adversely affected if the application is granted.
3. The last house constructed in Eagle Estates (lot 44) is a corner lot similar to the applicant. The rear of the
house is 20 feet from the rear property line. When the house was constructed, there were major issues with
runoff and soil movement. At that location, there is a short retention wall to protect the neighboring property
owner from the impact. We too have concerns about runoff, flooding and soil movement. Simple inspection of
the property line reveals that our property will be impacted by new construction only 10 feet away. Our back yard
could become a regular flood area. The homes along the western border of Eagle Estates (across the street from
the applicant) have had flooding problems and many have installed French drains along the property lines. We
requested the applicant to insure us that he would handle any flooding issues created by his construction. He
refused to do so stating the the City had required special gutters and that was sufficient. The applicant's current
home is basically touching the setbacks on all sides now and has a circular driveway. After adding 10 more feet
of garage and driveway (adjacent to our property), the applicant's property will certainly have the least amount of
impervious surface area in the entire neighborhood.
4. We have serious safety concerns for our small children (7 and 10). A two-story construction site only 10 feet
away with no fencing will be an attractive nuisance. For that matter, a typical wind could easily blow construction
material to the location of my children's swing set. There are pictures in your file that show the proximity of the
swing set.
5. We requested the applicant to agree to keep and maintain the current hedge both during and after
construction. He is not willing to permanently keep and maintain the hedge. As you know, there is no fence and
some day soon there may be no hedge - I suspect it would be destroyed by fungus from water accumulating at its

base. In the 10 foot area between the new construction and the property line will be two AlC units, a side door
with a light, and trash can area - separated only by an uncertain hedge. Our screened lanai directly faces this
area. With the new driveway addition, headlights will regularly shine into our lanai and the back of our home. Our
master bedroom and daughter's bedroom face that same area. There are issues of noise, lights and odor. I don't
know how to solve these problems short of denying the application. None of the 8 similar corner lots has similar
characteristics of this type. Again, our property and its value will be adversely impacted.
6. Eagle Estates is a mature neighborhood where construction of this type has not occurred. To my knowledge,
no similar request has ever been made or granted. If granted for this particular lot, it could become precedent for
all lots and potentially change the current landscape of the neighborhood forever. Respectfully, the City should
deny the application.
Thank you for your consideration. We have studied this issue carefully and discussed the application with our
neighbors at length. We are happy to meet with the committee to elaborate.

Subject: Re: FLS2003-08038 - Flexible Standard Development Approval
Wayne-
I spoke with Mr. and Mrs. Finstad this evening about their plans and some of my concerns. Needless to say, all of
my concerns are not completely allayed. I will attempt to outline the major concerns in no particular order.
1. The thought of construction only ten (10) feet from my property line is hardly pleasant. I have two small
children (girls 7 & 10). Their swing set is only a few feet away. While there is a hedge; there is no fence. For that
matter, I don't know if the hedge will need to be destroyed to complete the construction. Bedrooms (upstairs) and
eating area/family room (downstairs) are on the back of my house - the noise will be an issue. Are there time
limits on how long construction of this type can go on? Will my family be awakened every morning to the sound of
construction vehicles? Will there be a port-a-Iet, a dumpster and construction workers a few feet from my
children's play area?
2. Our Association deed restrictions call for a twenty (20) foot rear setback. While I understand that the Code
considers it a "side" setback, it is no mistake that the Finstad's house was built exactly twenty (20) feet from the
rear lot line. It is my understanding that the Association has never granted a variance from the setbacks.
Shouldn't Association approval be sought first? Also, the deed restrictions call for a twenty-five (25) foot
maximum height from the slab. The elevation plans shown to me indicat~ a twenty-six (26) foot mean height.
3. There are two windows facing my property on the second story plans. As previously noted, these windows
create privacy concerns. This concern could potentially be solved if the glass was not transparent, i.e. frosted. It
would also be nice if the windows were framed similar to the other windows on the house.
4. Mr. Finstad indicated that he has found a contractor to do the work for only $85/foot. Does that sound typical
to you? I was recently quoted almost $150/foot to enclose my lanai. Does the City require similar quality
construction to what is already there?
5. With the back of their house only ten (10) feet from my property, I have a concern about flooding and runoff.
Upon inspection of the property, it appears obvious that the land for the expansion will have to be raised and
leveled with house. Their remaining ten (10) feet will flow more steeply and directly into my back yard. Will a wall
or drain be required? During construction will anything be done to prevent my back yard from becoming a mud pit
when it rains? This was a serious issue with the last house constructed in our neighborhood. Willi be
indemnified from any damage to my lawn or property?
6. The remaining ten (10) feet will likely house a trash can and an air conditioning unit - again less than ten (10)
feet from my property line. Will these be screened by anything other than the hedge?
7. What is the nature of the meeting on September 18? Am I expected to appear and present evidence at this
meeting? Is there a specific time and place? The notice was not clear on these points.
Thanks for your prompt response.

Mike & Stefanie -
1. In the LDR, Low Density Residential District, the required front setback is 25 feet, the required side setback is
15 feet and the required rear setback is 25 feet.
2. The City does not enforce deed restrictions.
3. The Finstads have submitted a survey of their property, which shows a 25-foot front setback to Eagle Estates
Circle West, a 28-foot front setback to Eagle Estates Circle South, a 20-foot side (east) setback from the house
to the east property line and a 1 0.5-foot side (north) setback from the house and pool deck to the north property
line.
4. The City can include conditions on the approval of a request.
5. The second floor facing your property is proposed with two windows (presumed to be bedroom windows) and
a ground floor door (presumed from the garage).
6. A solid fence could be required to be installed along the common property line (if one does not exist yet) as a
condition of approval. This fence would not, however, address second floor windows and privacy. Fences and
hedges normally don't, or can't, help with second floor situations. I have not yet been by the property, but I will
look at your concern. Potentially, a way to address your concerns of privacy would be through the planting of
additional trees, whether on your property or on the Finstads. This may not be an immediate cure, as the trees
would have to grow to provide a measure of privacy. Keep in mind that your neighbor to the north could
construct a second-floor addition (if they presently don't have one) and potentially create privacy issues for you
also. You, too, could construct a second floor (if you don't presently have one) and create the same privacy
issues for your neighbor. Generally, Codes provide for a maximum height of buildings and assume some loss of
privacy due to second, or third, stories.
Am willing to talk and look at your concern. Let me know.

Thank you for your prompt response. I never expected one on a Sunday.
Can you tell me what the front setbacks are in the Code? Also, does the City consider the Association
deed restrictions? I know that our restrictions call for a twenty (20) foot rear setback. Does your site plan
show the current location of the house? I would be interested to know all four of the current setbacks for
the Finstad's house. It is my understanding that the current rear (east) setback is twenty (20) feet. That
would mean that they want to get ten (10) feet closer. Does the City typically require conditions to the
application, i.e. hedging, fencing, etc. One of my concerns is that they will have a second story only ten
(10) feet from my back yard. That creates some privacy issues that can't really be solved by a typical
fence or hedge. Thanks again for your prompt answers.

The subject property at 2959 Eagle Estates Circle West, owned by Jeffrey and Ambryn Finstad, is a
corner lot. Your lot is also a corner lot. The Community Development Code (Code) provides that
9/1 0/2003

corner lots have, for setback purposes, two front setbacks (adjacent to the street frontages) and the
other sides are side setbacks. The Code does not consider corner lots to have a rear setback
requirement. Therefore, only a side setback is required from the common lot line between your two
properties. Their request is to reduce the side (east) setback from 15 feet to 10 feet (getting closer to
your property line by five feet) with a two-story addition.
I hope this answers your questions. I have a site plan and building elevations for the Finstad's
proposal. If you would like to view it, please call me so we can set up a time to get together.

We are in receipt of your letter dated September 3, 2003, concerning the above-referenced

side (east) setback from 15 feet to 10 feet for a two-story addition. The east boundary is actually
the rear setback (not the side). I need to understand what is being requested as a two-story
addition would not seem to implicate the rear property line unless of course the applicant is

the rear setback (not the side). I need to understand what is being requested as a two-story
addition would not seem to implicate the rear property line unless of course the applicant is
planning to expand in our direction. Please advise. E-mail at this point is fine. Stefanie can be
reached during the day at 796-5076. Mike at 461-1818. Thanks.

Mike & Stefanie -
1. In the LDR, Low Density Residential District, the required front setback is 25 feet, the required side setback is
15 feet and the required rear setback is 25 feet.
2. The City does not enforce deed restrictions.
3. The Finstads have submitted a survey of their property, which shows a 25-foot front setback to Eagle Estates
Circle West, a 28-foot front setback to Eagle Estates Circle South, a 20-foot side (east) setback from the house to
the east property line and a 10.5-foot side (north) setback from the house and pool deck to the north property
line.
4. The City can include conditions on the approval of a request.
5. The second floor facing your property is proposed with two windows (presumed to be bedroom windows) and a
ground floor door (presumed from the garage).
6. A solid fence could be required to be installed along the common property line (if one does not exist yet) as a
condition of approval. This fence would not, however, address second floor windows and privacy. Fences and
hedges normally don't, or can't, help with second floor situations. I have not yet been by the property, but I will
look at your concern. Potentially, a way to address your concerns of privacy would be through the planting of
additional trees, whether on your property or on the Finstads. This may not be an immediate cure, as the trees
would have to grow to provide a measure of privacy. Keep in mind that your neighbor to the north could construct
a second-floor addition (if they presently don't have one) and potentially create privacy issues for you also. You,
too, could construct a second floor (if you don't presently have one) and create the same privacy issues for your
neighbor. Generally, Codes provide for a maximum height of buildings and assume some loss of privacy due to
second, or third, stories.
Am willing to talk and look at your concern. Let me know.

Thank you for your prompt response. I never expected one on a Sunday.
Can you tell me what the front setbacks are in the Code? Also, does the City consider the Association
deed restrictions? I know that our restrictions call for a twenty (20) foot rear setback. Does your site plan
show the current location of the house? I would be interested to know all four of the current setbacks for
the Finstad's house. It is my understanding that the current rear (east) setback is twenty (20) feet. That
would mean that they want to get ten (10) feet closer. Does the City typically require conditions to the
application, Le. hedging, fencing, etc. One of my concerns is that they will have a second story only ten
(10) feet from my back yard. That creates some privacy issues that can't really be solved by a typical
fence or hedge. Thanks again for your prompt answers.

RE: Development Order regarding case FLS2003-08038 at 2959 Eagle Estates Circle West
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Finstad:
This letter constitutes a Development Order pursuant to Section 4-202.E of the Community
Development Code. On September 18, 2003, the Development Review Committee (DRC)
reviewed your application for Flexible Standard Development to reduce the side (east) setback
from 15 feet to 10 feet for a two-story addition to an existing single family dwelling, as a
Residentiallnfill Project, under the provision of Section 2-103.B. The proposal includes a 1,528
square-foot, two-story addition to an existing single-family residence. The DRC recommended
approval of the application with the following bases and conditions:
Bases for Approval:
1. The proposal complies with the Flexible Standard Development criteria as a Residentiallnfill
Project per Section 2-103.B.
2. The proposal is in compliance with other standards in the Code, including the General
Applicability Criteria per Section 3-913.
3. The development is compatible with the surrounding area.
Conditions of Approval:
1. That the property survey be updated prior to the submission for building permits to less out
the abutting dedicated rights-of-way;
2. That an oversized roof gutter and drain spout, to direct house and garage roof drainage to
Eagle Estates Circle South (not the rear of the lot), be shown on building plans and be
installed prior to the issuance of a Final Inspection;

3. That, to ensure stormwater runoff will not create adverse impacts on the abutting properties,
existing and proposed land elevations be submitted for review as part of the permitting
process for the addition;
4. That, should the existing hedge along the east property line be damaged or destroyed during
construction to the extent of reducing the opacity of the hedge by more than 25 percent, a six-
foot high solid fence be installed and maintained along the east property line for privacy
purposes (maximum of three feet high within the 25-foot front setback area); and
5. That the final design of the building, including window banding, be consistent with the
conceptual elevations submitted and the color of the dwelling be consistent throughout.
I concur with the findings of the Development Review Committee and, through this letter,
approve your application for Flexible Standard Development with above five conditions. The
approval is based on and must adhere to the site plan and application dated received August 19,
2003.
Pursuant to Section 4-303, an application for a building permit shall be made within one year of
Flexible Standard Development approval (October 29, 2004). All required certificates of
occupancy shall be obtained within one year of the date of issuance of the building permit. Time
frames do not change with successive owners.
The issuance of this Development Order does not relieve you of the necessity to obtain any
building permits or pay any impact fees that may be required. In order to facilitate the issuance
of any permit or license affected by this approval, please bring a copy of this letter with you when
applying for any permits or licenses that require this prior development approval.
Pursuant to Section 4-502.A, an appeal may be initiated within seven days of the date the
Development Order is issued by an applicant or property owners within the required notice area
and who presented competent substantial evidence in the Level One review. A copy of the
Development Order is being sent to those surrounding property owners who presented competent
substantial evidence in the Level One review. The filing of an application/notice of appeal shall
stay the effect of the decision pending the final determination of the case. The appeal period for
your case will expire on November 4,2003 (seven days from date of Development Order).
